On focus, my mom passed about 3 years ago, so it's just flowers and lunch for my stepmom. Dad passed in January, so I don't want her sitting there alone. On the alternative focus, when I was in middle school, I found a book of limericks that my much older brother had in his room. Read the whole thing, but memorized two because, hey, every young man needs to know that sort of thing, right? There was a young plumber from Bree He was plumbing his girl by the sea She said, stop your plumbing There's somebody coming! Said the plumber, still plumbing...it's me! As with any teenaged boy, I clearly was sex obsessed, the second rhyme is pretty close to the first one. There was a lad from Kildaire, Who was having his girl on the stair. The bannister broke, So he doubled his stroke And finished her off in midair! I have literally retained those two for decades.
I've watched that video more than a few times so far... it's intriguing, to say the least... the dude is crazy talented. I'd really like to know just how much input the choreographer had into it, vs how much of it was his originality. Not sure the song is as good on it's own, especially without the gun shots as segues...
Yeah he’s extremely talented. His style of music is so unique. Redbone has been in my rotation since it was released.
New BabyMetal. I'm underwhelmed. No footage of the girls dancing around, that's half the entertainment and fun of the band is watching those little bundles of energy dance their little hearts out. Also, footage from their recent concerts here in the US show they've added a couple dancing girls and subtracted one band member (Yui.) Damn it, their energy and chemistry worked so well in earlier music. Why did they have to fuck with it?
Only in the past week did I discover The Night Flight Orchestra, despite their first album having come out in 2012, and despite being fronted by Björn Strid from Soilwork, whose album Natural Born Chaos is my #3 favorite record of all time. Yes, only this past week did I learn of the majesty that is:
Well, I hope y'all had a good Mother's Day. I took my Mom out for dinner last night as I was travelling all day today... and like an idiot I didn't make a reservation so there were a few tries at various restaurants that had crazy wait times. Needless to say we ended up watching the Winnipeg Jets play at the local sports bar (that was quite empty... go figure), at the bar, and quite thoroughly enjoyed it surprisingly enough. (It's not normally her thing, but she seemed to really enjoy the game and the energy in the bar).
FYI, it looks like the server ran out of disk space and wasn't letting posts go through... and here I thought all you Idiots were just out spending time with your mothers.
This is one of those pieces that is totally incomplete without the music video. There's no separating them.
Great stuff. I like how they have this massive, classic progressive metal sound but they dress like the Fabulous Thunderbirds. With bluescreen effects. EDIT: are they a “supergroup”? Because that’s the bass player for Arch Enemy.
So, did you mean to post the Childish Gambino original, or the Carly Rae Jepsen remix version? Because, the remix is what's linked, and I'm not sure which video is being commented about in the follow-up posts.
I’m sure if the ratio of brawls-per-shitty eatery is still terrifically uneven. It makes me wonder why people don’t intervene quicker. It’s not some street tough, it’s a stupid drunk white girl. Grab her by her pin head and throw her out onto the fucking ashphalt.
If she's dumb enough to do that crap, she's also dumb enough to try to sue you. She won't win, but it'll cause you unnecessary heartache for a good bit. As long as everyone is out of the line of fire so to speak, better to just call the cops, let her throw her tantrum, keep everyone safe and wait it out. If you wanna take video to help fuck her in the courts, then great, but don't expose yourself to unnecessary liability if you aren't in physical danger. That being said, if that drunk white girl does start targeting you and putting you in physical danger, or becomes a danger to other people, then yeah throw her ass on the ground and stop as quickly as possible. But no need to intervene in the drunken tantrum until it reaches that point.
Yo Nett Bluesfest is back this year and has some names: Blue Oyster Cult, Kenny Wayne Sheppard, Foghat, and of course Colin motherfuckin’ James to name a few.
