How hard is it to play musical instruments? I mean really. When I was in grammar school I had to play the “rhythm sticks” during music. No joke. Two sticks I was supposed to bang together. I didn’t even get a triangle. At least the triangle was an actual thing. The kid with the triangle was playing a manufactured musical instrument. I was playing two things you could find under a tree. They might as well have given me a piece of bologna and a spoon and told me it was a “lunch gong”.
The reason I ask is that I think if there was ever a band I think I could have been in it it would be The Offspring. The guy doesn’t really sing the songs. He just kind of talks them. It isn’t even rapping. And the lyrics are probably something the guy actually said to someone once. Probably most of the things I say could be songs. Or poems. I wish I understood anything about music. I have no concept of how someone would invent a tune. Wizards they are. Or Communists. Every song I ever tried to invent ended with me whistling the theme from Fat Albert. Stupid brain. Video after the HEY HEY HEYYYYYYYY! It’s FAAAAAAT ALBERT. DAMMIT!
They didn’t really have hipsters in the 90′s. But it was when “indie” bands started out, I think? So if there were bands everyone hadn’t heard of then there were immediately people who mocked those that hadn’t heard of them. So I guess that means there WERE hipsters. That said, I’m not really sure what indie means. I think it is when a company whose job it is to make money off of music thinks you stink and they won’t make any money off of your music.
Wait, that is the kind of smart mouth answer I always give to things so maybe I need to apply a little more thought.
No wait. I don’t. I don’t need to give it anymore thought, and I’ll tell you why. I know I have talked about this before but I don’t remember where. If it was here then whatevs. I will refund your money if you are gonna cry about it.
Anyway, the Internet is this great equalizer, right? People’s true talent will come out and people will get the people who really deserve fame into the light. Right? So if that is true, how come the only two people from the Internet who got famous in real life are Tila Tequila and Perez Hilton? Think about it. Maybe, just maybe, the people who decide to make finding things to entertain the masses might no more than a bunch of whiny jerks who have an inflated sense of self-worth. And MAYBE you don’t see anything from Kickstarter in your Netflix queue because making movies and writing books and stuff is HARD.
Anyway, you will remember the bass hook from this song. This is a post about a song, remember? Video after the jump.
Today’s video has been making the internet rounds for about a week or so now. However, since I slept through all of last week, I’m just now making a post about it. So, for all three of you that haven’t seen it yet, I present to you a delightful video of a drunk dude lovingly serenading a police officer from the back of a squad car. His song of choice is “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen. Even though the dude is properly trashed, he still gets through the entire song and remembers all the words. Enjoy!
What a nondescript person. And a nondescript song, too. Lucky for me. I should pick nondescript things all the time so I don’t have to describe them.
I guess if I have to say something about the song it would be this: it’s like a frigging lullaby. I only made it halfway through. I mean, I remember it, but sheesh. Am I the only one? Seriously – do you have ANY thoughts about this? The video is after the jump. Don’t screw me over. I am interested in this. It’s like science.
One time there was this guy I knew named Sully and he was always acting all cool and didn’t care about anything. Then one day I was like: “KLF’s gonna rock you.”
“I doubt it, dood.” Sully said. His baja really smelled. Sully reeked of Patchouli.
Later that day, KLF did indeed rock Sully. Just like they said they would. And he died. Let that be a lesson to you. If KLF says it’s gonna rock you – get prepared. I’m not joking. Don’t be a Sully. KLF’s gonna rock you right after the jump.
With all the talk about women’s rights flying around today I am thinking it might be a good time for all the ladies in America to try to get themselves all on the same page and make things they way they want. “Oh Acadia, you don’t understand politics…women have varied beliefs and values and wah wah wahhhhh.”
That’s what they will tell me, but I will say: STFU – I understand EVERYTHING. And I understand that if women voted for candidates because of the fact that they are women INSTEAD of all the other stupid criteria they use, then a bunch of women would get elected. And the odds that you are going to pick some kind of conservative are pretty slim. And then when you have all your minions in there you make them vote the way you want. That’s how it is supposed to work. So what the Hell does this have to do with this week’s song?
Well, listen to it. She says she’s like 57 different things in one sentence. But I have checked the tapes thoroughly and she is a woman throughout. Which means that whatever else you are or think, you are women. And if you decided to move the culture you could do it. Because the weird illusion that men run everything is just that: an illusion. Listen to the song again. She is OUTRIGHT SAYING that she is gonna flip out and be all over the place and that she thinks it’s “cool” that her man just gets out of the way.
A lot of the time, the men will just get out of the way. And if it doesn’t work, then whatevs. How bad off could the country possibly be if the legislature and White House were occupied by women? Maybe it’s time we found out. Oh, wait. Crap. I’m a guy, so this is just another guy telling women what they should do. Sorry.

PS: I voted for Hillary. And remember, if five people complain in the thread I will put the lyrics back in.
