Lyric of the day: "You said, do you believe what you're saying/Yeah, right now, but not that often." Modest Mouse, Satin in a Coffin.
This is my humble way of saying that I might just be full of shit. I'll never admit that, of course, because I AM ALWAYS RIGHT, but there ya go.
So, this is our new blog feature, huh? Hats off to Dennis for getting this put together; I think it's been a long time coming. I'm excited as hell, even though I've got very little to say right now. Funny, no?
No?
Fine, be that way.
Anyway. I've decided, in a very OFFICIAL and AUTHORITATIVE way, that I'm gonna use this mainly as just a music blog; I've already got another one going on The Evil Site We Shall Not Name, which I use for babbling nonsense and witch-hunting (http://blog.myspace.com/albakirk). Check it out if you're interested. Add yourself to my online posse if you want. Or don't. Be warned, though: I often use dirty words and complain about my chronic masturbation problem.
Here, though? Here is where I shall Enlighten The Masses As To Why They Are Wrong About Everything Musically, and Why I Am Always Right (the short answer is: because I said so. Get bent.); and even if you don't agree with what I say, I hereby promise to at least try to make it entertaining.
That being said, here are a few things going through my head:
1. Isn't it a bit redundant for Jay-Z to have a song on his new cd that's called 'I Made It'? I mean, didn't he 'make it' a long time ago,and haven't we been hearing about it ever since? Jeez...
2. If I ever meet anyone from either the RED street team or the Black Summer Crsuh street team, I will poke them in the eye. No foolies. These repetitive posts of, "Heycheckoutmyfavouriteband THEY ROCK SO HARD!!!" are really getting on my nerves.
That's about it. I'm currently working on reviews for the Melvins tribute and the Emily Haines solo album, among others. They should be up in the next day or so.
Oh, and if anyone can guess what song the title of this blog came from, you win a hug, a cookie, and the satisfaction of knowing that you're as big a music geek as I am, if not bigger. Or who knows, maybe a mix-cd, or something. I don't know. It's lunchtime, I'm hungry, so I'm out. Be good, or I'll tell your mom on you.
Comments:
Lyrics sounds familiar, but no band's coming to my head at the moment... and I'm sure I've never heard that lyric before, it's just my conscience saying I've heard it before.
Ha, Jay-Z, he's made some respectable music but the whole retiring thing is hilariously stupid. I remember him making a big deal about it and Best Week Ever making fun of him about it. And now he comes back. It was just a ploy to grab attention, like Britney Spears shaving her head.
No offense, but Anna Nicole Smith was a dirty whore who had sex with old guys and talked like a first grader with only the education of sex and how to (basically) speak. I'm sure if this happened to an everyday person, the world wouldn't care, but for some reason, we need to stop the world... for a porn star. Whatever...
And the RED and Black Summer Crush street teamers can blow me.
Pretty fricken sweet blog Chris.

Thanks for diving in Chris! As for Jay-Z, didn't the guy retire? I thought I heard that.
Oh well, I'd like to add to your pet peeve list:
I don't care where Anna Nicole Smith gets buried. AND I don't care where her kid goes. Please don't talk about useless celebrity shit around me.
And sorry, I don't know where your lyric is from. I'll be watching though. I'm curious.
