The past Three Days: An Apology.
OH HI THERE I ACTUALLY HAVE A REAL LIFE?
No, probably not. Yesterday I took the day to clean the room & do laundry, so obviously relaxing was called for in there. There's never enough time. The day before that I'm sure at some point I could've done something creative, though would really would have rather murdered someone so I decided against it there. Thankfully I'm no longer an angsty teenager & I just got over it by hanging out with some friends.
Wait real life? no fuck that back to fake talk.
Today I'm going to tell those of you who are still using windows XP how to spruce up your taskbar. I'm sure most techy people already know this, & to an extent so did I but it didn't amaze me any less.
First step, right click on an empty area of the taskbar, if you've done this right a menu will load up with a few simple selections (properties, lock the taskbar, etc)
Next, mouse over the Toolbars selection, you should see a few more options (Quick Launch, Desktop, Windows Media Player), one of which might even be selected.
Click on new toolbar & select a folder you frequently use (maybe your music or video or gay pornography stash) & click ok.
Finally, if it looks all weird you can move them around by right clicking an empty area of the taskbar & unlocking the taskbar (assuming it's locked like it should be).
That's it! If you did it right it might look a little something like this.

Day Four: Another Essay.
Seriously? Another bunch of paragraphs about shit we don't care about? Awesome.
I hate Valve. They've always managed to piss me off, first it was the original Half Life not running on my PC past the intro of the game. Then it was the fact that the man who introduced me to Half Life died only a year before Half Life 2 was released. More recently I've been quite annoyed at how shafted us Half Life fans have been recently. The Orange Box was nice, especially for Portal & HL2 Episodes 1 & 2. Since then Valve developed a new game. They had this splendid idea to make a team-based multiplayer zombie survival shooter & by god they sure as hell did it. Left 4 Dead was released & suddenly Valve had one of the hottest sellers of the Xbox 360.
On PC you can play Valve games online with Steam for free, on 360 you've got to be an Xbox Live GOLD member. Not a big deal, until you realize just how much extra online content is left out. With a computer you can change the zombies voices to the voice of Pee Wee Herman yelling or laughing. You can turn the Tank into Johnny Bravo or change the Witch music to that of the Breakfast Machine in Pee Wees Big Adventure.
Okay so that's not much right, mostly modifications that don't really effect gameplay, right? Wrong. All L4D updates get put on Steam before L4D. All Downloadable Content is free on Steam whereas through Live you'll be spending anywhere from $10-20 for a new campaign. Oh, & you don't like that glitch? Well, it's fixed on PC, but the update for 360 is coming out in a month. So aside from shafting people that don't play the games on PC, what else is bad about this franchise?
I'm going to try & be as un-biased as possible here because I'm the type of person to turn coat really quickly on a subject. I really loved the first Left 4 Dead & Left 4 Dead 2 was indeed great, but it seems like any other Valve project (aside from an alternate ending to Portal that is only available on Steam) was immediately put on an indefinite hold. Now I understand that making money is the name of the game, but seriously? Is this shit going to turn out like the Madden games? Every year they'll release a new one with slightly better whatever? Count me the fuck out, Mr Newell. I mean really, I don't mind all that much that those of us who choose console over PC get a complete shaft when it comes to games from Valve but I mean, shit. At least give us the same freedoms as those on PC. If Valve says that Steam is free for all users, why not make their games compatible on Live with a free Silver Account? It's practically the same & a lot easier than another slightly feasible idea of porting Steam servers onto XBL. Though in reality that'd turn into something like Steam 360 & would only cater to those of us playing on Live & when you start to consider how little that is it's just not worth it.
But why not the other reason? I guess it's because Microsoft wants to make money & everything, but I mean shit. Nintendo Wii has a disc that they mailed out (for free) to Wii owners for free streaming Netflix capabilities. PS3 also has a free Netflix service, however on 360 you must be paying for a Gold Account in order to use Netflix.
But this isn't about 360 or Micro$oft or any of that crap. This is about why I'm not a huge fan of these games. For starters, people with %0.01 mental capacity for Half Life or Half Life 2 play L4D & act like jackasses. Many of my friends included are just not very good & if in real life there was a Zombie Apocalypse they'd be fucking dead.
Next up we've got getting incapped or pulled by a smoker. 9/10 people will immediately start bashing the controller like they're playing a 2-D fighter & have just been stunned. I'm sorry guys but that doesn't work in this game. Be patient & play with people who don't suck.
Another common problem is people not being able to see the screen while playing split screen so they sit right next to my 360, directly in front of the television. I have no problem with you sitting at home blowing cigarette smoke directly into your disc tray, but this isn't your home & it most certainly isn't your 360, show some fucking respect & wait until you're not in the middle of the game to light up. More importantly, get away from the expensive technology while you're doing it. I have no problems with people smoking in my room, but I do have a serious problem with people blowing smoke into my 360 & my external Hard Drive. This is more of a personal problem though & has less to do with the game.
Back to reasons why this game fails. Well: Let's see;
It seems to promote people yelling & talking a bunch of shit to a screen, which is totally fucking lame in my opinion. There's nothing wrong with yelling DAMMIT, or FUCK in agony after dying for the umpteenth time, but it is really fucking annoying when you shit talk each special infected you kill. On top of that when the game gets louder so do you & it really hurts my fucking ears. Chill the fuck out & just play.
Another good reason as to why this game is annoying, though this reason is quite specific to XBL. On Steam it is more than normal to go on & have a game with intelligent adults who know what they're doing & understand that staying in a group is probably a good idea. On XBL you run into a bunch of ignorant 14 year olds who shout nigger every other word & run through the map like their feet are on fire. Oh well, that shouldn't be a problem, at least the other two in the group are.. Oh wait, they ran off too. Well great, now I'm all alone & there's three separate hoardes coming since the other players decided to just high tail it through the map. Way to go dickweeds.
I hate 14 year olds & I hate Left 4 Dead.

OH SHIT, TODAY I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.
OR: Day 3 how to make something from nothing.
Here's a quick tutorial on how to clean functional glass art (BONGS).
First you will need a few things, the major important ones are rock salt or sea salt & 91% isopropyl alcohol. The less important things are paper towels, a plastic baggie, & a rubber band.
First things first, Separate all the pieces & put a couple scoops of rock/sea salt into the bong. Next cover up the hole where the downstem goes [this can be achieved by either wrapping a baggy around it & tying it off with a rubber band, clogging it with paper towels, or by even just using your thumb] & pour in about half a cup of rubbing alcohol.
The next thing you're going to want to do is cover the top hole with something like paper towels or your hand & then shake vigorously for 30 seconds to a minute [or until that filthy thing looks new again]. Finally, you rinse it GOOD. I mean this, you do not want to inhale rubbing alcohol it is NOT GOOD FOR YOU & it tastes like ass on top of that so be sure to rinse, rinse, rinse & smell-test it before going to use it.
Next you're going to want to clean the downstem. Take a plastic bag & wrap the downstem up in it then pour salt & alcohol into it & you guessed it shake vigorously & rinse. If you want to clean your bowl as well you can put that in a bag, fill the bag with salt & alcohol & go from there, just make sure the salt will fit in the bowl first!
Okay that's it for today. More tomorrow. Bye.

Day Two: A Short Essay About Dickwaving.
No seriously, this entry is to convey one thing. I love Beatmania IIDX.
Anyhow, for those of you who are new to the game there is a whole hell of a lot for you to learn & you will never learn all of it unless you've got aspies so why don't you just read up on it here & Here
Basically the idea of the game, if you're too lazy to click links is to make music with seven oversized keyboard keys & a turntable. The result is a shitstorm of grey, red & blue lines that will give you a seizure if you're prone to it. No rly. Turn your speed modifier up & crank that shit to eleven. Beatmania has got a slightly bad rep in the states as the only US release was the dreaded Beatmania for Playstation 2. Of the five decent songs there was another 30 or so terrible songs including but not limited to covers of Celebration, Toxic, & You Really Got Me Beatmania kind of failed to deliver. Not to mention G4 decided to not even research the game which resulted in Adam Sessler calling Beatmania a "Guitar Hero Ripoff". Dear Adam Sessler & G4 television as a whole: Beatmania IIDX 1st Style (the next generation version of the original 5-Key Beatmania) came out in 1999.
So with twelve years under their belt the game itself has overcome many changes. Starting with my least favorite change is the revamping of the level system of the game. In the beginning there were three modes of difficulty: Light 7 - 7 Keys - Another. The highest level of difficulty in the game as far as numbers go is a Flashing 7 which is (you guessed it) a Level 7 that flashes. At the release of 10th Style Konami introduced players to Level 8. Next came IIDX 11th Style, or more commonly known as IIDX RED. Flashing 8s were introduced things started getting really crazy difficult.
& then.. Just as everyone was getting settled in with the new IIDX Konami dropped IIDX 12th Style Gettin Some Slpash Beats HAPPY SKY! Oh, what's this? Light 7 is now Normal? Well, at least 7 Keys is.. Wait why does it say Hyper? Okay, whatever.. LEVEL 12?!?! What.
Now, I understand that the level system was in need of a revamp, but they didn't need to go as far as to call Light mode "Normal". The game originally was just a step up for 5 Key players, now it's the biggest Bemani game they have so it's natural they'd want to make it easier for newcomers. Thanks for that when I was playing 6th Style, only had Hi Speed 4 & the game was very unforgiving. I'm glad theres beginner mode & normal mode before you even get into actually playing the game. It's stupid, I really shouldn't hate on a game for making it easier for newcomers buuuuut... The newcomers that come in will occasionally ask an old timer for a song they should try, well, since level's 6-8 are all the fucking same to me I'm not really sure which song you should pick.
All ranting aside, most of the new changes are phenomenal. The new interface is much smoother & easier to read than the original that was chunky & flashy. Not that I don't love the original IIDX Styles, I just find that playing anything from 11th & up for an extended period of time & then switching to 5th or 6th Style it's going to be much more difficult because of the archaic software. Either way, they were beautiful once & the new look is a well deserved makeover in my opinion.
Unfortunately, console versions of the game only allow for so many songs. The console version of Beatmania IIDX 16th Style 'Empress' solved this problem by coming with two discs, the second disc consisting of nothing but revival songs from each IIDX Style. However, 16th Style CS is the last Style the Playstation 2 is going to see & currently I don't know where they're bringing it to next.
That shouldn't stop you from giving it a shot though, through eBay or Amazon you can get yourself the controller that was shipped with Beatmania US, the only good thing to actually come of that style. The buttons work much better than the original Konami of Japan model since they don't stick, nor do they need to be modded heavily to be used. The turntable on that controller is kind of tight though you can very easily open it up & loosen the screws for the turntable without causing any damage to your controller.
Getting the games themselves might run you a pretty penny which is kind of lame so you should go about using the power of the internet. Remember kids: most computers these days come stock with a DVD Burner...
Though I'm not advocating Piracy, I'm advocating a second chance for Beatmania in the states. If that means that people have to do things that aren't legal to play songs they like instead of stuff by Moby they should have that freedom. Not that the games in Japan aren't relatively cheap, I can only imagine that through the typical next gen systems debacle you can find the games used or even new in game stores for a decent price. But how would importers make a profit? So you're spending 60-70 bucks for a Playstation 2 Game that's going to rape you?
Alternatively you could get yourself that controller, one of these & this. You might be spending $70 bucks, but you now have access to Beatmania 1st through 16th Style so who cares right?
Either way, what I'm trying to say is that I love this game & felt like writing an essay about it. Fuck the corporate world, b'yatch.

Fuck the date, let's start today.
Screw it, let's build momentum. Let's do something creative everyday. Anything creative. Make a mix CD for someone & put effort into the theme or idea of it. Draw custom case art & do whatever the fuck you want to it. Christ, make videos of yourself doing something you excel in. Creativity is not limited, it's anything you want. Write a catchphrase or even just a line of text that you like more than anything.
How hard is it to get others inspired? Let's find the fuck out. Get this shit growing & make it global, let's see what people everywhere think is creative. Honestly, if you can do a handstand for a solid five minutes record that shit, do whatever you want. It's all a creative form of expression. My first project will be finished by the end of the day, what about yours?
Thanks for caring.

An irrelevant idea that nobody will care about or follow through with because I'm not even entirely sure that anyone actually has read this thing ever
K.
Basically I had a thought that was kind of stupid & I didn't really know how to form it. The idea would be to use blogs to go for an entire month of creativity. Every day you can do something new & each day you do not need to use the same media. For example, on day one you can go outside & take pictures or plant something. Anything creative at all, it doesn't have to be difficult or overdone it just has to be your personal self expression. If you want everyone to know that you're difficult & overdone well, then I don't want to know you.
For serious though, it can be anything you'd like; From writing or recording your own music to writing stand up comedy routines or even using video as a form of expression. The only limitations you really have are what you possess physically [ie: instruments, paint, cameras, etc] & your own imagination. You do this every day for a month & by the end of it imagine everything we could have created in that span. The average month is roughly 30 days long, if we get 20 people to participate by the end of that month we'll have 600 varying pieces of artistic self expression. Let's say half of the people choose to write & record songs, that's 300 songs, or roughly 16 CDs at 18 songs a piece.
Overall I believe it would be a very positive experience for everyone involved, artistic self expression is a very important part of what makes us human & we should use our noodle a whole hell of a lot more. If anyone is actually with me on this one please get in touch with me by leaving a comment here, tweeting at me, sending me an email or something just do it because if this could work it could turn into a really cool project. Ok holler at me later doggs pcce

Let's say half of the people choose to write & record songs, that's 300 songs, or roughly 16 CDs at 18 songs a piece.
Overall I believe it would be a very positive experience for everyone involved, artistic self expression is a very important part of what makes us human & we should use our noodle a whole hell of a lot more. If anyone is actually with me on this one please get in touch with me by leaving a comment here, tweeting at me, sending me an email or something just do it because if this could work it could turn into a really cool project. Ok holler at me later doggs pcce

Let's talk.
I've always been terrible at keeping this thing current. Too much happens in such a short span of time that when it's time to write again I'm overwhelmed. This summer that's going to change. Armed with a netbook, wayfarers & a phone capable of jotting quick notes as refrence I fully intend on reviewing or at the very least writing about all the shows I'm going to from here on out.
Tomorrow night at Tazza is Kokomo whom I am very excited for. I love Cordey. His music is energetic & really dark most of the time. Similar to Venetian Snares although in my opinion Kokomo is definitely noisier. For sure that's a good thing. Excellent music to just jam out & rock out & hit people to. Not to mention Cordey has been my buddy since I first started going to underground shows in ProvvyDance. I can still remember the first time I set foot inside Narwhal Arms, Cordey's then home/my favorite venue ever. It wasn't anything special & I was quite early, so Cordey explained that when they say things like 9pm they end up meaning 10-10:30pm, though being the nice guy that he is he allowed me to take a seat inside & wait for everyone to get started. Since I'd already done my small tour-de-bars in downtown I figured I'd hang out.
The venue really wasnt much, just a large room as a performance space with random types of art all over the place, generally just really random. I could tell right then & there that this was my place. After a while I became a regular fixture there for the shows that I liked, until of course everyone left & it became what it is today: an empty shell of what once was fantastic parties.
But you can't call it a party, it's a show, but to most people it really is just another party. I guess that's what separates me from everyone else, I'm actually there for the music. Not to say most people don't show up for the music or anything, but it really seems to me that doing blow is just so much more exciting than being sober & actually watching the performers. I guess I'll never understand why the line for the bathroom in most of these places is longer than ever, but that could just be because I'm totally & completely against that shit.
Oh well, whatever it's not drugs I'm talking about, it's music.
During the time I knew of Narwhal Arms I saw many great bands, from EAR PWR, to Juiceboxxx, to Javelin to Future Islands. Every show was better than the next & even the last show ever performed there just left me wanting more. There's something really special about performances like that. Bands that have that kind of effect are really lasting, at least in my mind. I'll never forget the night we formed a mosh-pit to Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus immediately before Juiceboxxx tore the roof off that place. It really seems as if every show I go to is the best show I've been to & it's wonderful.
Keeping everything positive can be tough, but with the right music scene it's not at all hard. It's not about fitting in or being a part of anything it's just about music. Fuck anyone who believes you've got to dress, act & look the part in order to be a huge fan of that genre. Either way, it's always been music for me. For my entire life I've been interested in every aspect of music, from the bare essentials needed to perform & record music to watching my own tastes age & define themselves. I remember many years ago when I was into pop punk, or even earlier when I was into "Gangsta Rap". One could say I was quite a trendthumper, but I'd have to disagree. It's always been what I was exposed to that I enjoyed. Why else would I hate what's being played on the radio these days, even if it is trendy? I mean shit, Lady Gaga is fucking blowing up everywhere & I would pay an exorbitant amount of money to slice her throat, so I mean what's that say?
Oh right, it says that I'm one of those faggy ass indie fucks who only likes bands for the first few listens & then forgets all about it. I guess you'd be right, but overall you're wrong. All music old or new holds a place in my heart. I will always remember what I enjoy & what I used to enjoy. Ironically it's always been the same, really, it just had to come full circle for me to realize it.
Goodnight moon.

MATH THE BAND POST ABOUT MATH THE BAND ABOUT MATH THE BAND ABOUT MATH THE BAND ABOUT MATH THE BAND ABOUT THE BAND CALLED MATH THE BAND.
Hello friends,
Today we're going to take time out of our day to talk about Kevin & Justine, more formally known as Math the Band! One part Andrew WK the other Dope-Ass-Casio-Core-JAMS.
Truth be told, up until last year I had no real idea who these dudes were, other than the fact that they were casiocore awesomeness similar to Atom & His Package, though, having no way to hear their music I just kind of forgot about it, until Foo-Fest. They were one of the three or four bands I went to see during Foo Fest. Since they played an early show they were actually the first band of the day for me. It really was a great experience. I've seen plenty of bands with a large amount of energy perform, but theres something different about Math. Lots of dancing & jamming & having a blast. I was instantly hooked.
I'm not big on local music, mostly because what's local to me is straight up trash. West Warwick & Coventry really arent known for their electronic music culture & thus it ends up just being nothing but terrible pop-punk/screamo shit that I listened to when I was 16 & severely lacking positivity. Either way, the second Math's set was over I was ready for the next show. That's how it always happens, I guess. If a band is good enough to leave you wanting more you'd better believe you're going to their next show. I can't really remember when or where the next Math show was, but since the beginning of this year I've seen them as many times as possible. Each show better than the last.
The only problem I suppose with these shows is that in Providence it seems like people just don't start dancing until the headlining act... Maybe it's 'cause they're not drunk enough by the first set? How that's even possible is beyond me, it's not like shows in Providence ever start on time or anything...
Either way, this isnt about that, this is about how awesome MATH THE BAND is. Currently on Tour with MC Chris they're dealing with a certain level of criticism that really should never have applied to them. You'd think nerdcore rap & nerdy casio music would go hand in hand, but it seems like the MC Chris fans really dislike the fun that Math brings to the table. Fighting fire with marshmallows Math the Band on twitter re-tweets the messages of hate for people with actual taste [outside of what adult swim tells them to like] these nuggets of comedy are fucking hysterical. Either way, it makes me sad.
UMMMMMMMMMMMM I kind of lost the initiative to write so I'm going to end this there. I love you Math the Band.

Upcoming overhaul.
Gonna be fucking with the layout of this thing, updating the sidebars & figuring out some sort of scrobbler, that way I don't have to type in all the artists I like. On top of that I'm going to be making a layout that's a bit easier on those of us with those cute little netbook things.
On top of that there will be much more content as I will be reviewing a few albums that are near & dear to my heart in the coming weeks. On top of that; KOKOMO is playing a show saturday night & I am all too excited for that, maybe I'll stay sober this time & remember to actually remember it all this time. I'm also considering opening this blog to more of a 'this is what I like' kind of thing since that's all this shit is anyway.

The [REAL] Problem with Music
Okay so every now & again I feel compelled to express my opinion on certain genres of music. 9/10 times this turns into a bullshit argument amongst faggots who are total shut-ins. No really, it's actually a serious problem. People don't seem to understand that musical taste is definitely a form of one persons opinion. Hell, I barely understand this because I hate people who have no taste. But I guess theres a difference between actually listening to real music & listening to japanese garbage from video games. You don't speak japanese, don't try & act like you're so super cool by listening to the shit. I have no problem with Bemani music, when I'm playing Bemani games. That's the only time I want to hear it. I do not care to listen to this music when I'm not playing these games. Why? Because I actually have tastes that expand outside of my hobbies.
So who'd'a'thunk that saying that rap is good music & a valid form of expression would cause an argument? I mean really, rap is so popular these days, you'd think that most people might be sick of it but at least they wouldn't start bullshit arguments... Think again. You've got to imagine that people who can't even appreciate rap are definitely ignorant racist shut-ins & it's true. Music might be opinion, but it's definitely fact that those who hate rap are racist faggots.
I mean really, who else would look at a car pulled over by a cop & say (about the driver) "Oh, what a surprise he's black." Then again, these are the same people who believe smoking is bad for you but eating nothing but fast/junk food is A-OK. Sorry dudes, while my lungs are getting black your arteries are getting clogged the fuck up. That's okay right? Your arteries only allow blood to flow to the heart, right? I mean, sure you need your lungs to breathe, but you most definitely need your arteries for your entire body to work. So while I'm puffing on my cigarette I'll remember that all the junk food you idiots eat is killing you just as fast as my cigarette is killing me. We all have our vices, so nothing makes yours any better. It is terrible to think about how most people are so ignorant as to not even realize what they're eating IS BAD FOR THEM.
But that's what you get when you let the internet & video games educate you. That's not the point of this post though, the point of this post is that having any sort of conversation about music that doesn't begin with "I LOVE METAL & SUCK DICK" is going to end in an argument. & to me that's a huge problem. Why can't we have our own opinions anymore? Why is it that most people these days seem to think that while your opinion is invalid because it's an opinion theirs is bible fucking law. I don't get it, is the world really that full of ignorant scum? Fuck it though dude, these are the same people who went to see MC Chris with Math the Band opening & decided to hate on Math the Band. Hell, they wouldn't be at a rap show if it wasn't sponsored by Adult Swim anyway, so why in gods name should they like the opening band? Even if that very same opening band has more talent in their index finger than MC has in his entire body they're still gonna hate it because it's unfamiliar to them.
The familiarity thing really kind of bugs me, it's like if you haven't heard of it then it sucks. Honestly, I wouldn't believe it if it weren't the truth, but I was there. I saw Math the Band & left halfway though MC's set. I was upset, five people were dancing for Math, /everyone/ was dancing for MC. I get it though, but fuck, Math the Band is way easier to dance to. I guess it's because faggots will listen to their false idols even if they tell them to jump off a cliff. MC Hesh says "Dance, monkey, dance."
I'll put another example on the table, I have a friend who really likes Ronald Jenkees but absolutely hates rap. Uh... Dudes, Ronald Jenkees is a self proclaimed instrumental rap/hip-hop artist. His music is specifically designed for Rap. However, rap music is repetitive, but Jenkees isn't? I don't get it, hell, the few songs that he does rap on are more repetitive than most radio rap out there today.. There's nothing wrong with that, I mean the guy's autistic for fucks sake. But still, he's a white dude who actually has mad respect for rap & hip hop, that's a very rare trait these days. Countdown til someone states that you have to be autistic to enjoy rap.
Either way, all the excuses are the same; "It's repetitive" "I just hate the people who give it a bad name & try to act like that" "The image it portrays sucks" etcetc. I'm sorry, do you people have a problem with fun? I mean really, I don't even /drink/ & I enjoy songs about getting drunk in the club. Fuck man, I hate going to clubs too, how is it possible for me to even like these things? I mean, the music doesn't relate to me in the least bit but I can still enjoy the shit out of it. I still hate most of Lil Waynes music & I really hate Soulja Boy but shit, at least those dudes are out there living it. The american dream of being so in debt to the music industry that you pretty much have to be a dancing chimp pumping out the same repetitive songs after the other. Who cares? If you've ever read "The problem with music" by Steve Albini you'll know that the music industry is basically the biggest pyramid scheme ever, but really, without it what would we have? Everyone has to get paid, since money is the only real motivator in this country & I have no problem with that, but the reason for all this garbage 'rap' is because it's what the general public wants to hear. Not many people care to hear about living in poverty & selling crack, not to mention the Notorious B.I.G, Tupac & BIG L are all dead. Not to mention, they're still selling records even after their death, where the fuck is that money going other than the greedy ass music industries pockets. Whatever though, they're dead & there's not much anyone can do about that. Either way, if Big & Pac were still around do you think for a second that this club music that's disguised as rap would even exist? Fuck no, people would still be dying over what they listen to.. Is that really something worth getting fucking shot over? You prefer the east coast to the west coast therefor you're going to get fucking killed. Yeah dude, Rap definitely should have stayed the way it was in the 90's.
Oh well, I guess you're the same type of people who only played GTA to run people down & kill people with no consequence. & I suppose that's my whole problem with the thing, it's obnoxious. Everyone I know says that the golden age of rap was the mid to late 90's & I really don't see how they see it that way. Maybe it's because that's when rap was more dramatic & real, I mean shit, people were getting shot & killed then! God forbid rappers these days not want to get fucking shot, so they write songs about getting drunk with friends, having sex with women (something most people who just sit around inside all day & play video games & barely interact with others know nothing about) & smoking pot (another thing shut-ins believe is worse than what they're doing to their bodies with fast food).
SO FUCKING WHAT? It sells! That's what the industry wants, they want to move units & not have to worry that their latest investment is going to bomb & never be heard from again, I mean shit, they just signed him for 5 records after all. I guess people just don't want to be depressed anymore & they just want to listen to positive music about positive things. I mean shit, you're right, rap should totally be about robbing people, killing people, being poor, having to fight to survive & selling drugs. That's what the general public definitely wants to hear, right? They want to hear suffering & misery? I'm sorry, but I just don't believe that. People want to have fun & be positive. The only reason the industry has progressed this way is because it's what the general public wants. So fucking what if you don't want it? The industry doesn't give a fuck about you. No really, do you think they really care that one of the million trillion billion people who bought that album didn't care for it? Fuck no, they're too busy bathing in a bathtub full of money.
Fuck it though, you people suck. No really, if you lack appreciation for real music & then proclaim that the soundtrack to Silent Hill is the best thing ever you need to go get killed. Or alternatively you can move to Japan where you will live in complete misery. No really, the fact that most Japanese people really don't like Americans even if you can play IIDX on doubles or you can pass 40's on Pop'n you're still going to be hated in Japan. It's a fact! Japanese people just really don't like Americans. Sorry, you're going to have to get a new life goal, faggots. Or I mean, you could move there & be picked on until you're basically forced the fuck out.
Whatever though, grow up idiots.
I LOVE YOU BLOG FRIENDS. YOU'RE ALL TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL.
