Too Young

FACT:

It is obvious I got a man crush on the band Phoenix. Their recent SNL performance was not that impressive (sound and the vocals were off,) but I have not lost any love. I was watching their videos and Too Young has to be the best worst video ever made.

I think Too Young is the best song that Phoenix will ever make. Fun facts about the track:
Played in the background of Shallow Hal when Jack Black is dancing with 3 girls he thinks are hot, but really aren't according to Jason Alexander.
They had a karaoke moment to the song in Lost In Translation.
The album United that came out in 2000 is still hot like Snoop Dogg..gotta drop it.

Girl Talk, Shmerl Talk

FACT:

I think Girl Talk's music is fun, do not get me wrong.


But after watching his live sets, I just don't get it. I do not see a reason to pay money to see a hippie play mashups on a Mac? That may sound bold, or you may think "what's wrong with that?" Watch the video. Personally, jumping around and clicking a mouse (why does he have a fucking mouse?) is corny. If John Stamos was doing that weak of a performance i probably wouldn't complain, but i don't get why he's coming off like that live. Get something Pioneer going, or bring a flute on stage, something!! if you want to save money, buy me a bottle of cheap vodka, and hang out at my apt. Same performance on a demo version of Serato, but i think i could jump around even more.

Bloody Beatroots Video

FACT:

I really don't know what to make of this.
The video's clarity, I like. Steve Aoki Looking overly tough, kinda cheesy.

The song's tight, like all Beatroots beats. The new EP hit stores this week, so i guess go get it? What's a Mstrkrft?

New Placebo

FACT:

The new Placebo track is pretty awesome.
It is so hard to say its the best thing ever, because the days of Black Market and Sleeping With Ghosts are untouchable... but like pizza, its always good and i cannot complain.

Favorite Comic(s)


FACT:

I loved comics when I was a child, and i still dig them.
I liked all the crazy dark characters. Grindel, Dark Night series of Batman, black Spiderman, and keeping up with Wolverine was the shit. I was dedicated though to Image comics. Something about the dark but vibrant style that Todd McFarlane and his crew put together gave my chubby arms goose bumps as a kid.






I still have the first Pitt and first Spawn comic, somewhere at my parents house...somewhere

Michael Jackson...Is Also Not Dead

FACT:

Michael Jackson is the greatest pop icon and entertainer of all time.




I could not be happier to tell all the MJ haters to go stuff themselves. Actually, the media can double stuff themselves for making Michael seem so washed up, thank God for the few Will.I.Ams, Akons and Nee-yos of the world for producing, supporting and being featured on Michael's new album. and....


50 sold out shows in London.
Life makes sense again.

Placebo Is Not Dead

FACT:

Placebo is an amazing band.
It seemed a little grim hearing that drummer of over eight years left the band early last year. All kinds of wild rumors about Brian Molko made the idea of a new album and or tour update seem impossible. So far, no US tour dates but great news for their music. I am pleased as pie. Dutch apple to be exact....
