Rock Snob Confidential

I've just had my mind blown

2006-04-03T10:09:00.000-05:00

Well I know it is the edgy/cool thing to hate Panic at the disco. But for the record, I will be a "cliche loser" and like them. Their catchy and fun, and if you can't appreciate catchy fun things, you're boring. Sorry. No, not sorry. Stop complaining about things because its the cool thing to do. I dont care if you HONESTLY do not like something. Taste is taste. But if your like 90% of the idiots out there who just hate things because they want to be better than everything else and claim that they are educated and more inteligent because of it, then your an idiot and you should be shot.

I'm currently reading "Invisible Monsters" by Chuck Palahniuk, and i noticed that the lyrics to Panic at the Disco's "Time to dance" bare a striking similarity to the book, which is amazing by the way. So In an attempt to uncover truth or just coincidence, i powered up the ol' google and did some searching. apparently I've discover something that is already known, which makes me feel a little slow, but I only just started reading the book so give a brotha a break.

Anyhow, If you haven't read the book, or heard the song, or both, I suggest you do so. You will be a more well-rounded individual because of it.

Heres a few links to look at regarding the subject at hand.

Huma a rescently discovered group of one of my friends from video class. It is electronic pop I guess you would call it maybe, but definately good. . Check it out I like it. Do you think what you are doing every second of your life.

Triple Shot Thursday

2005-12-16T00:18:00.000-06:00

Okay, it's time for my first weekly triple shot thursday. I figure if we're going to want regular readers we're going to have to start doing regular things. So anyway, I'm gonna review 3 DVDs this week, which all happen to be television shows. First off, I hate television. Every show on television has been judged on how many people will watch it, because of course capitalism is all about what will make money. This doesn't, by any means, make all television garbage, in my opinion, I just hate having to filter out all the crap that gets put on the air today. So basically, the only television I watch is what gets released on DVD. So now i'll review two shows I've discovered recently Scrubs and Lost, and another I've just purchased; an old classic, The Critic.

I'll start on a lighter side with The Critic. This is an animated series that ran in like 94-95 for two seasons by the same guys that did the Simpsons. I'm really shocked that more people haven't ever heard of this show. If you're into film and celebrities from all decades, this would be a good one to check out. Jon Lovitz is Jay Sherman, an overweight, bald, early 40's film critic with a slight eating disorder. After buying the complete series I've realized how many jokes have been used from this show in South Park and especially Family Guy. The only downside is a lot of the jokes get repeated often, but oh well. The DVD is like 40 bucks at most retailers, and you get all 24 episodes and a decent amount of extra features if you're trying to check it out.

Secondly, the drama series Lost. Very addictive. I've personally banned myself from this show. It's really good, but everything I've seen so far(the entire first season) is based on ambiguity. So far, there's a shitload of questions and not all that many answers. Despite this, the characters are all very good and have interesting back-stories, which is kind of a theme throughout the show. The reason I've banned myself is because there's so much hype for this show. Not only are the ratings good, but there's a huge scene on the internet as well that reveals secrets and such. I'm choosing to take the skeptical route on the quality of the overall series, because it would be really easy for the producers to build up hype and then drop a huge dump on the faces of all the viewers by the end of the show. Aparently five seasons are expected, so my plan is to wait til the end and see what everyone else has to say, much like I always do with television shows. :)

Last, Scrubs. This show is fricken delightful, and very funny. Zach Braff basically plays himself growing up as a medical intern. The show is basically a comedic drama set in a hospital; with in-depth characters, a lighthearted atmosphere, and a cute, cuddly message or two in every episode. Each character has their own unique personality and blend of comedy. John C. McGinley plays the "role model" character for Braff, and is hysterical. If you don't know who that is, he's the taller, skinnier consultant, Bob, from Office Space. There's a lot of cheesy parts at the beginning of the first season, but it gets better as the series goes on. Definitely worth a watch.

Alright, that's enough, now absorb, you fucking losers.

OldBoy

2005-12-14T20:37:00.000-06:00

Okay, for those of you who like movies(pretty much everyone). You should check out OldBoy. It's a delightful Korean movie released in 2002 about a man who's been imprisoned by an unknown captor and spends the rest of the film finding out the mystery. Our hero, Oh Dae-Su, is trapped in... basically, a one room apartment with an attached kitchen and bathroom... for fifteen years. Periodically in his humble home, he falls asleep to the soft whisper of valium gas, and is changed and groomed. During the fifteen years, he's got a lot to think about shit. Instead of going insane like most normal people, he manages to keep his shit together watching television, training, and keeping in mind one thing: revenge. One month from completing his tunnel to the outside world, Oh Dae-Su is gassed then released at an unknown location, ready to start his quest for revenge, me hearties. argh.

Anyway, the cinematography in this movie is excellent. There's plenty of pretty, hard-to-get shots and such for any filmaker to be impressed. Plus, the CG they used actually looks good and is well matted throughout the movie. The action in this movie is also incredibly realistic; one scene consists of one continuous 3 minute shot of our happy hero working his way through at least a score of anonymous bad guys. Classic.

Oh, and for you must-have-a-reason-for-everything people, the only sex seen in the movie is completely essential to the plot... even if it wasn't, who cares.

So, after watching this movie, I realized that most other countries produce much better films than the U.S., thanks to our friend capitalism. There's some other Korean films I'll probably check out soon and review on this silly blog, A Tale of Two Sisters and Audition.

Chief p00fta.

OK listen

2005-10-30T11:50:00.000-06:00

The fact is, none of us hate anybody... or at least i don't

This blog is for us to express our feelings on whatever subject we see fit.

We try to keep it entertaining to spark debate any whatnot
We mean no harm

so if u dont like it... suck a dick bitches

<3

so, here's the deal.

2005-10-26T00:35:00.000-05:00

it's not that i don't have anything interesting to say. i have plenty of interesting things to say. for instance, the tv show lost is quite good, and itunes is so sweet now that you can buy episodes in their store. also, it looks like some bush administration officials are going to be indicted today or tomorrow. the poorman is extremely funny, and linkin park blows horse balls. in other news, rock stars are doing coke, republicans are lying in order to line their pockets and get more american kids killed on some godforsaken rock, used car salesmen wear bad toupees, and no one reads this blog.

what?

no one reads this blog. give me a reason to write and i'll make more of an effort to find time to write. but this is a two-way street. i'm trying to foster a conversation, you ungrateful fuckers!

I hate chain letters

2005-10-24T07:25:00.000-05:00

I'm going to find the stupid bitch who makes all these god damn chain letters and im going to slit her throat

I know its a fucking girl, cuz girls make stupid crap like that... she probably sits at home by herself worshiping aaron carter and making chain letters that say:

"if you dont copy and repost this, a man will appear at your bed side and kill you violently... right after that, a girl will crawl through your window and across your ceiling down to you and she will eat your rotting corpse so no one will know your missing, and you will have bad luck in relationships for 395 years."

Its definitely Angela Castaldo... fucking dumb bitch. For those of you who don't know who Angela Castaldo is, I went to high school with her, and shes a dumb bitch... thats all that you need to know really

Its either her, or you, you fucking loser

I'm gonna go shoot myself in the head, cuz if any of these chain letters actually work... my g/f is gonna leave me, my mom will die, i'll lose all my money, i'll get in a tragic car accident, have terrible luck with girls for the next 3000 years or so, and like 30 people are gonna kill me tonight.

wish me luck

NEWSFLASH: Overhyped, Overpaid Athlete is Asshole

2005-10-22T11:52:00.000-05:00

From the fine folks at the Superficial, we learn that good old A-Rod is not only completely failing to earn his record-setting salary on the field, he's also doing his best to alienate the few people willing to look past his unremarkable performance with the Yankees and see the spoiled little boy inside.

goddamn, what a fucking tool. hey buddy, why aren't you at work? oh, that's right. you fucking losers got eliminated. by the astros. the fucking ASTROS.
i mean, shit man. they've never even been to the series before.

you may now return to not giving a shit about baseball anyway.

essen Sie meine Scheiße!

2005-10-22T10:32:00.000-05:00

Heute fühle ich wie das Schreiben eines gesamten blog auf Deutsch. Während ich weiß,SIND die meisten von Ihnen nicht in der Lage, dieses zu lesen, ich glauben sein besseres auf diese Weise, cuz jetzt kann ich über Ihnen lustig machen und Sie wissen nicht..., obwohl normalerweise ich gerade über Ihrem shitty Leben zu Ihrem Gesicht lustig mache!

Sowieso habe ich nichts, das wichtig ist zu sagen, also sehen Sie Sie neueres.

Weibchen.

P.S. Ich wurde, also treten Sie Ihren Esel in TRON!

oh, the tears, the tears of laughter. cry for me, clown boy!

I love clubs, Techno, and Blowouts

2005-10-21T13:43:00.000-05:00

I lied about the whole title of this thing

I hate clubbing italians with their incredibly overused spikey hair

You wanna dance tough guy? Lemme shoot at your feet, asshole

boom chik boom chik boom chik boom chik boom chik... thats my impression of techno

Its also my impression of me shooting and reloading my gun in a club full of guidos listening to techno...

If anyone on this forum has the hair style proudly called "The Blow-out" just let me know, and i'll gladly blow your brains out. Bitch.

Now on to real things!!

2005-10-21T08:35:00.000-05:00

So Heres what i say, so listen... turn down whatever garbage your listening to and put that stupid away message up that reads "OuT... HiT uP dA ceLL- (insert number here)"

We aallll know you have that away message, fucking loser.

Anyway back to important things, like what i have to say!

I'm here to officially state that if you do not like Between The Buried And Me, you are a fuckhead.

Fuckhead- n, (fuk•hed) 1. One who sucks at everything he/she does. 2. One who has no taste in anything at all. 3. A complete moron 4. You.

As of right now, they are the best band ever. While many of you may not appreciate metalcore/grindcore music, and the piercing vocals that go along with it, surely you can understand that they are possibly the best group of MUSICIANS to come together and write music ever. I highlight the word musicians, because its tough to find a musician in anything you listen to.

I have told myself over and over again, by the time between the buried and me breaks up and calls it quits, they will have written everything. Yes i meant everything. There will be no more music left to write, because ever possible combonation of notes and values and keys will all have been written by Between the Buried and Me...

And you wanted to start a shitty pop-punk band... Good luck kid!

In other news, We here at Rock Snob, are better than you.

Good day

The Pootie Tang Story

2005-10-21T07:50:00.000-05:00

Hello people that matter less

I am the newest blogger on the Rock Snob forum. As the newest member, I plan on explaining what im here for. I'm proud to call myself the resident "Metal-Head", "Scene kid", "Hardcore Fan", or what have you... While almost all music can get me aroused, metal/hardcore/and polka seem to create the biggest erection (of the mind)...

Anyhoo, For those of you who have taste and can appreciate a man screaming into a microphone, I will be your tour guide to new music from more well known bands, and the discovery of some new ones in the underground scene. Basically a plethera of music that is better than yours.

I also plan on sharing my opinions on numerous other topics as well, like how much i want to see SAW II... If you don't want to see saw 2, you should be shot.

I also plan on preaching the benefits of Red Bull, possibly the greatest drink of all time.
Many people say it tastes like something different than what the guy before them said... I plan on posting every one of them, as a space user...
So far the list consists of:
-Robotussin
-Cough Drops
-Shit
-Carbonated Medicine
-Pez
-"It tastes like winning the nobel peace prize"

Thats all for the time being, so go back to sucking

helping me forget about my extreme insomnia are happy little things like this: House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's (R-Texas) arrest warrant. PDF format.

That tickles me in a way that, if Loretta tickled me that way, I'd say, "Mmm, yeah. That's the spot. That's nice."

Always a Party, Schadenfreude City!

2005-10-19T21:08:00.000-05:00

a little bit of good news for you liberals/progressives/not-monkeyfuck-insane types out there: President Bush may have lied to Federal Investigators in the Valerie Plame Leak investigation. You see, the NY Daily News reported today that someone in the administration let it slip that in 2003, Bush was pissed off at Karl Rove when he admitted having participated in the leak. He wasn't pissed off that someone would leak the identity of a No Official Cover agent, endangering both the lives of American spies and the viability of US intelligence-gathering operations. He was pissed off that they had "done an amateur job," as in, that they got caught.

here's where it gets interesting: it has already been reported that Bush told federal investigators that Rove told him he hadn't been involved in the leak.

I know what you're thinking. "But...but...the President wouldn't...LIE under oath, would he?" Of course not, dear child. of course not. The President refused to testify under oath. he was just answering questions. But regardless, telling investigators one thing when the opposite is true sounds, to this country lawyer, like Obstruction of Justice. Then again, this administration has been consistently, openly contemptible of all three things Superman swore to protect: Truth, Justice, and the American Way.

hat tip to the Talent Show.

um yeah

2005-10-19T18:42:00.000-05:00

So uh umm yeah I decided to actually read some of the blogs and believe you me they were quite interesting except that whole post about the rolling stones, (how can someone not like satisfaction it's like being un-american?) I wonder if this actually reaches any one out in internet land. The amount of garbage on the internet I wouldn't be suprised if this goes unnoticed ( at least unnoticed for ten years until by some freak accident they figure out how to clone Hunter Thompson from one of his ashes on Woody Creek, and he's like I think I'll catch up on what I missed for ten years so he goes on an incredible coke binge reading everything he can on the internet somehow gets linked here from some porn site, and he committs suicide for our talent going unknown and the cops have to wipe the blood from the computer screen in order to see what made this clone of a genius blow his head off, and they see our writting, and we become famous, and national icons, and we can wipe our asses with some ben franklins and fuck a different bitch every hour...yeah that sounds right.)

so yeah

2005-10-19T18:37:00.000-05:00

I was walking along and came upon some greesy squinty eyed kid he gave me two pills that were labeled "eat me." Being the rule abiding citizen that I am I quickly fell into the dark hole that opened under me. I fell in complete darkness for ten straight hours and landed here at Rock Snob Confidential. I don't know what this is about, but that I'm suppose to write so that is what I do; I write, and then I will get a snack, yeah that sounds good.

via the onion, we learn that the Zombie Preparedness Institute has released a study saying the Pittsburgh is completely unprepared for a zombie outbreak.

Some of the more disturbing pieces of outdated zombie preparedness include:
*Lack of adequate routes for evacuation
*Emergency shelters in disrepair
*Cars and sheds considered adequate shelter
*Failure to take zombies' basic reasoning abilities into account
*Instructing Federal Undead Management Agency (FUMA) employees to shoot zombies in the torso, a mistake so insane it should be hysterical.

it's times like this that make me glad i have this.

a little taste of our new film/politics guy:

Road********: i'm a large bi-sexual black woman who lives in louisiana
Road********: yeah i live there with my racist hard core republican husband
Road********: we have our disagreements
Road********: but we're in love...

also, just in case you don't know:
Ice Blue Raspberry Lemonade flavor Kool-Aid is great. much better than the stuff they had at the party i went to at that compound in waco. that stuff smelled like almonds.

and, holy shit. bill o'reilly was on the daily show last night. He seemed offended that right after the show would be "some french guy making fun of me." ah, Stephen Colbert's the Colbert Report is so funny. and what a sweet can...anyways, i'm getting sidetracked. Crooks and Liars has the video of it. very enjoyable. and for those of you who don't know about Crooks and Liars, it's a completely great site. they post on political issues of the day and host lots and lots and lots and lots of video, at their own expense. nice of them, eh?

2005-10-17T11:21:00.000-05:00

we're bringing in two new staff grunts to sweep up the hair clippings that end up on the floor, and to clean up after that yappy fucking dog when it tears the goddamn wallpaper off.

one will be concentrating more on film; both reviews and discussion of past, present, and future films, and various aspects of filmmaking, and what-the-fuck-ever else he wants to write about. the other will be focusing on providing a counterpoint to my sheer, unadulterated mockery of your favorite bands. you whiny fucking losers. also look for both of our new friends (just kidding, you don't have any friends) to whine and cry about politics. probably i will, too.

in other news, get bent.

you're listening to KLA Media, Portland's Hottest Spot on the FM Dial

2005-10-17T11:08:00.000-05:00

we have a few more songs being done for our project here at RSC, known as "the media." plenty of beats have been built, lyrics scrawled on the backs of labels peeled from beer bottles, tunes sung into cell phones, translated into german, and pureed with pickled beets. We also have a title for the album now. currentage:
Artist: the Media
Album: KLAMedia
1. Antoine the Jelly Jam
2. The Gas Sitch
3. Garden of the Arrow Jar
4. Capillary Sponge Bath in the Caterpillar's Hookah
5. Donna Matrix
6. The Continuing Adventures of John Stamos Among the Tangerine Mustard Flower People of Groblakulon Sebohday-Ha
7. How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Capitalize on a Flagon of Flies
8. Our Shit's the Shit, Shithead.
9. Pitch-Shifting Tarmac on Planet Ego

try and keep your shit together while you wait for this, you sloppy fucks. no biting. well, ok, you can bite, but don't draw blood. yeah. mmm. that's good. that's hot. keep doing that.

Seriously, Bitches. Fuck "Satisfaction."

2005-10-17T10:59:00.000-05:00

shit, bitch. 88.5 WXPN has been doing a countdown of the 885 Greatest Albums of All Time, and they've been doing pretty good so far. the usual suspects are all accounted for: Blonde on Blonde, Graceland, Exile on Main Street, OK Computer, Kind of Blue - I can't really argue with these picks, except to say that the rolling stones are Lame. you know what i'm saying. the rolling stones are light years away from relevant, and haven't been anywhere near their former glory in about 40 years. did i mention mick jagger has to be the most annoying frontman in the history of rock and roll? every time i hear him speak i want to drop an elbow onto his temple. and what the fuck is with that special-ed chicken dance shit he does? sit on a mic stand, you pretentious fucking wank.

This brings me to the point of this post. "Satisfaction" fucking BLOWS. The song is total shit, and somehow it ends up as #1 on all these greatest song countdowns. WHO THE FUCK THINKS THIS IS A WELL-WRITTEN SONG? to call the main riff a "caveman riff" would be an insult to cave men everywhere. the lyrics consist of about eight words, 3/4 of which suck. the melody is one phrase, almost exactly the same, throughout the whole thing, which sucks, moved to match the two different chords in the song, both of which suck. I have just given you incotrovertible evidence on the shitness of "Satisfaction." The Stones have some good songs, but they're not the goddamn Jesuses of Cool like people seem to think. they're just very old men who did a lot of heroin, and took it in the ass from David Bowie.

(edit: the drums on "satisfaction" are pretty sweet. that does not mitigate the sucking.)

stay tuned for the next post, in which more of your favorite records will be shit on, or mine will be praised, or both.

ok, check this shit out. since the p00fta and I are equal-opportunity snobs, we're working on a little musical project, so you guys can have something to which you can listen and feel superior. the name of our little project is the media, and while it'll still be at least a month before we're ready to put it all up, we have some song titles to share with you:
1. the Ballad of Antoine the Jelly Jam
2. Capillary Sponge Bath in the Caterpillar's Hookah

attention pathetic wannabes who need my advice:

2005-10-14T11:26:00.000-05:00

remember, it's down the road, not across the street.

if that doesn't sound good to you, then you'd probably better do this:
A. Go to Harvey Danger's website.
2. Download their entire new album, for free, from the downloads section.
D. Listen to the song "Little Round Mirrors" and lay back in pop bliss.

if you're still not satisfied, try and track down a copy of "blue diamonds" by the Long Winters.

anyone who does not comply will be forcibly infected with the asian bird flu.

so, how's it going? good? good. so there's this cool thing i've come across in my travels through the interweb, called audioscrobbler. it's basically a plug-in for whatever music player you use that records the names and data for the tracks you listen to, and then sends that to their central website. it uses that information to create a musical profile, and then matches you up with other people with similar taste. what i think is cool about that is that it matches you up on an artist-by-artist basis, rather than genre. it makes things a lot more interesting. they also hook your shit up with weekly charts, like your own personal billboard and shit.

once that profile gets itself set up (i think it needs like 100 songs) you can listen to streaming radio based on it. plus, other people can look at your profile and then laugh at how shitty your music is. pretty sweet, right? i thought it would be a nice thing to share with everybody, before i tear your taste to shreds.
