    Beethoven did it so well they're afraid of getting bitch slapped from the afterlife.

    There are a few bands that use substantial string sections in their tunes. I guess that counts. Sort of. Whatever. Travis Meeks writes a bunch of strings into his tunes. Meth makes you very creative apparently. This song uses a whole orchestra throughout:



    As far as film composers, Clint Mansell makes me moist. Downright haunting:

    I don't know why, but as soon as it gets wet outside, there is some asshole in a 1995 Volvo who drifts in the roundabout outside the living room window. Doesn't matter what time of day of night, rush hour or not, he is there once the road is moist.

    I can't wait until he crashes.

    I'll take reply number 1000 just for shits and giggles.

    Also, first day off in 3 weeks, you better believe I'm drinking wine at 9:35 AM.

    This pic popped up on my newsfeed. Add one more way I do not want to leave this world - crammed in a box doing 120 kph down the 401 on the roof of my brother-in-law's Santa Fe.

    Grammy Awards, Imma let you finish, but My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was one of the greatest albums of all time.

    I honestly would not fret much if the Grammys were blown up by terrorists. What a fucking joke. I hated the Grammys ever since they gave best hard rock album to Jethro Fucking Tull.

    They do NOT award the best in music With a Grammy. Bank on that.

    They had to give Jethro Tull something and there isn't an Oddball Music with a Flute Playing Lunatic Lead Singer category.

    Oh, I get that. It's just that the album was also #1 on the Billboard charts and met with universal critical acclaim both within hip hop and among wider publications. It's not like Kanye is obscure or a niche product.

    They also labeled Bon Iver as a "new artist" when I remember listening to him and him being relatively well known when I was in high school. He was even on Letterman in 2008.

    I don't know if there is any award show that is more clueless and reflects its subject matter more poorly than the Grammys. The Oscars and Emmys appear to be at least nominally trying.

    The Onion published a good one back in July... <a class="postlink" href="http://www.theonion.com/articles/man-just-going-to-grab-guitar-and-old-fourtrack-go,20682/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.theonion.com/articles/man-ju ... -go,20682/</a>

    I remember Rolling Stone gushing over Bon Iver three years ago. New? Right.

    Grammies revel in mediocrity. They celebrate chart hits, ear worms, and occasionally absolutely insufferable indie "artists." But they gave Weird Al a couple statues so that's cool.

    The Oscars really piss me off. The pomp and conceitedness is one thing, but every chance they have to do something cool, to prove they have their finger on the pulse of culture, they fuck it up (I'm looking at you Andy Serkis). Some of the greatest actors have either lost multiple times, or never been nominated at all. It's laughable. Come on it took them 30 years to give Scorsese his stupid gold dildo.

    The same thing all the guys on the board do when their woman is away:

    Play video games, beat off, and take naps

    After spending the past 4 hours drinking with no pants on, I don't know how professional hobo never crossed my radar as a viable career path.
