And I just learnt 'NZ rabbits' are a thing, and there are apparently special breeds. I'm more used to rabbits tearing across country roads in front of my car at night, they're better at not getting run over than possums are. See, TiB. Still teaching me things.
Tenacious D won for a Dio cover. Anthrax was nominated from the same tribute album. I approve. Jack Black has some fuckin' pipes and Rage Kage smokes on the 6 string fiddle. Fuck everyone else. Spoiler
When I was about 17, my sister had a little grey bunny rabbit. It was called "Gunder", because it looked like a Gund teddy bear. My parents also had a home office, with 4 additional phone lines coming into the house. That year my parents went off on a week-long business conference, leaving my sister and I alone for an extended period of time for the first time. Day three, my sister wakes me up bawling her eyes out. Turns out that the fucking rabbit ate all the plastic off of all the phone lines in the home office, and died. It had packed itself full of plastic... as in, it was fucking solid to touch. It was January, so I then had to drive the dead rabbit and my sister out to my Grandmother's farm, dig through about a foot of frozen ground, and bury this fucking rabbit. That would have been all good except when we went to leave, we were greeted by my Grandmother's two large dogs (Great Dane and Irish Wolfhound) who had dug up the rabbit and were fighting for it as we walked out to the car. Slightly traumatic for my sister, to say the least. I thought it was kind of hilariously funny.
I'm glad St. Vincent and Beck won. And the collaborations have been pretty awesome so far. Loved Tony Bennett and Gaga.
Yes, hilariously funny. I'm sure whichever dog won the rabbit was actually the loser when he discovered it was full of plastic. Although I guess dogs are just as dumb about eating inedible shit, so maybe not.
Seriously? After Ed Sheeran and ELO/John Mayer, its been a decent into depressing awfulness. This is like a funeral
I really like St. Vincent, but I always find it funny to watch her perform. We were in college at the same time, and while we didn't really run around in the same circles, I remember watching her band practice in a rehearsal room, and it was slightly indie-rock singer songwriter stuff. Now she's winning Grammys and has performed with David Byrne, and was in the Polyphonic Spree before that. It's just been fun to watch her morph into what she is now. Seems to be working out.
Who hasn't been in the Polyphonic Spree? If you've lived in Dallas for at least 3 years, odds are that you've been in it. Even I was a member for about 1 1/2 weeks in 2010. Jk jk. That's fun. She's pretty badass. My girl crush on her is pretty strong. She and Carrie Brownstein came onstage during a Pearl Jam concert here last year, and I was freaking out. I love both of them.
I would have bet money that Toytoy would be the first to suggest this type of thread. At least we now know how you got your self portrait in your avatar pic.
Thought this was worth sharing. Anonymously send your girlfriend a bunch of flowers. If she doesn't mention the flowers to you. Dump her immediately!
I really, really hate Kanye West. There is little more unsavory to me than rudeness and egoism. I may not like Beck, but he's been around a lot longer than West, who can't seem to fathom that something he doesn't personally approve of could be considered noteworthy to others. Like a 5 year old. He also refers to himself in the third person. What a fucking tosser. I kind of want to pat him on the head, give him some milk, and put him to sleep because he's cranky and was out too late. Someone's had a big day.
#LikeAGirl You have a consistent theme in your posts over the years. You don't like or trust women very much. It's kinda sad, kinda teenage-tough-guy funny.
Jay-Z's reaction to him was priceless. "No, God no, you aren't going to do this...Oh fuck...OH ITS A JOKE. I'm gonna overlaugh really hard to pretend I wasn't absolutely horrified."
Didn't watch the show but the fallout has been funny to read. What a guy! My neighbors put up a Little Library out front. A nice concept, and someone already put Hatchet in there so hell yeah I'm reading it again, but it's just the thing for people to fuck with. We'll see what happens.
In that moment Jay Z looked like he was going to kill him. Kanye is a prick. Even making the joke cheapens Beck's acceptance of his award and gives him the attention. The guy is seriously fucked up.
