For those about to rock, WE SALUTE YOU!

Tribute bands are filth. Why do they exist? I have only room for 'The Bootleg Beatles', because they've been around for some time. Why hate 'em? They lack creativity, they don't need to bother with originality and they charge a bomb. The latest of these shambles is 'Here'say' - not 'hear', but 'here'. They have one 'album', if you can call it that, are filthier than Hitler, and no apparent reason but to leech. They are always in shadows.

Eye Cancer

On the night of this write, Channel 5 are showing Beverley Hills Ninja. A spoof film that obviously spoofs ninjas, or something else along those lines. These films aren't praised enoug; if I had it my way, I'd give Leslie Neilson (Naked Gun, Spy Hard) some special award for making the world seem less dangerous, less depressing, more charming.

Never say Never deserves some mention, but was it the first Bond spoof? Shagadelic indeed, er, baby. Anyway, loads of people say it is a Bond movie, regardless of Bond being an old man in the movie.

Final Message: Save the Spoof Movie!

Idiot

Alright, look at me! I'm a tree. Flea, flee, fleah. Here is a list of 10 kick-ass NIN songs:
-Starfuckers Inc.
-Ruiner
-No you don't
-Wish
-Happiness in Slavery
-We're in this together
-All the Pigs Line Up
-10 Miles High
-Big Man with a Gun
-Sin (seen as 5in)

There are loads of good songs, but these seem to shine. Some are remixes...

Get even like Steven

Take full advantage of the college over the Summer, use the internet there! Free! As I am writing this, there are four people in the whole place, including the people behind the desk. A good idea came outta Ray for once.

What's the topic? It's WCW wrestlers. Yes, Jim is right. Most of their wrestlers do have problems - whether it's making the wrestling matches look absolutely perfect (a bit too fake), all having similar likes/dislikes or ripping of moves completely ('Shawnton Bomb' anybody?). Well, with Vince in charge, I mean Shane, we may see action similar to the WWF. Which is also a problem, because then the two will be pointlessly competing. Certain Catch 22 situation. At least Goldberg, a direct rip-off of Steve Austin, is retiring. Hooray.

'Who the fuck is Shawn Stasiac??'

Wow! Invasion was one helluvan event. I have to say, having never seen many ECW wrestlers before, I was really looking forward to Rob Van Dam. Wow. This guy has everything, with probably the most powerful legs in the industry. He flips, he dropkicks easily AND he's a heavyweight. What amazement! He made Jeff look average, and that is something. Still, the main event wasn't that good; the Edge & Christian match was great. The Five-Star Frogsplash is absolute. It is something awe-inspiring. HBK's gotta lotta work to be doing...

Holy Calamity, scream insanity, all you ever wanted was to be a big fan of me

Trip-Hop is pants. Granted, the tunes sound good for about 30 seconds, but then you seriously get sick of them after 4 minutes. Think about the title being repeated that many times. Aaaah! They also spawn from samples, which doth lacketh creativity, so it really does suck. I don't own any! My older smack-head brother has a lot of it. Bitch.

Go England

Thank God that petty and very small disagreement went away. Now, onto watch Invasion, with the greatest wrestlers today! Hoorah! Everybody's slightly better.

Curses, foul being!

OK, Coalition Deal are good. Just I found them quite clichéd, but that's my opinion. Apologies to Jim Blunt, Edd Parry & Sarah Wickes for that then. I prefered it with Howard & Robin, that's all. That isn't my concern. I am now boardless. Boo-hoo. I snapped the little git after standing on it wrongly. I'll move to Skating instead. The damn thing recommended 50KG weight! I'm 80KG!!

DO YOU WANT £250?

It doesn't really matter if anyone's paying attention, but I live at 50 Dunbar Crescent, Hillside, Southport, England, Earth etc. if anyone wants to catch me trying to learn to skate; get some footage of foolery and stick it in a(n) SAE to 'You've been Framed'. I'm doin' a favour here!

'Itchy, itchy, tasty...'

My, whadda debacle the new Res Evil movie is turning out to be. A super-computer controlling all the zombies? How the hell do scripts like this slip out of the pan? Did the director-to-be even consider playing RE C:V? That explained everything, and still left the player pondering possibilities over the whole story? If it turns out to be worse then Tomb Raider, BANG! I r famished (I'm no particular fan of Cow & Chicken, either).

That looks nice.

Wow! All these new 'skins' for the blog... there goes thought and originality out of the window for anybody's own answers.

KISS

I mean that. Keep it simple, stupid, for your blog may run away from itself. Or, my blogger-space-land is so simple it's stupid. Unrefined, unchanged, untampered, garish and hiddish. Those last two make it, in acronym form, UUUGH, which suits the most plain website on the internet down to the ground. I wanna be a good programmer an' all, I even do computer-ing, but I cannot be arsed to 'experiment'. Ah well. One day...

Rrrrrock Star

Let's face it, if Coalition Deal were being serious (aside from Joe) in 'The Experiment 2' (with lack of prequel), then they aren't heading anywhere fast, with the audience being mainly indie-lovers. Granted, my music talent ranges from arse-whistle to comb-and-paper, but I will have something done within the decade. It's hard to define when you're a rock star, so look at the tell-tale signs:

- ignore the charts. They are nothing now.
- get mentioned on something like the Void, in a piece o' text lasting about a page. From non-serious folk
- get more recognition from the band you're supporting, esp. if they're big.
- have some band take the mick on one of your songs. Remember, that's how Kurt Cobain realised he was famous.
- have TV ads promoting your next album.
- be admired so much, that, like NIN, you will have art pieces dedicated to you. Like Nine Inch Nails Art web page. But that's going too far.
- go to space.

My blogs are getting shorter.

The Meaning of Life

(Drum roll) The meaning of life is... experiences.
That was brief. Skidaddle.

Mr. Jock TV quiz PhD bags few lynx.

The answer to that riddle was:
They are all someone's best friends.
Plus, the title to this contains all letters of the alphabet. Hooray!

Riddle


THE RIDDLE:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What do these three things have in common?
Dogs, Diamonds, Double Plays.

From Riddlenut.

Buck Funnies!

Irritant! I saw some pants that my sister had bought (believe me, 'twas enthralling). They already had rips in them. 'Why d'you buy ripped pants, Estelle?' I exclaimed.

'They were already like this blah fashion blah goth etc' she whinged.

So there you go. Gone will be the days of making your own clothes look cool, like Wayne in Wayne's World (or to a lesser extent, that guy of an old 'Lion' advert). Clothes are already bought shabby. That's the wearers' job, damnit! This isn't happening - controlled scruffiness. YOU are the one responsible for your image, not corporate fat-cats and capitalist fashion out-lets!

Good night.

Back to the Ground

If I don't find me a website where I can leave my pics, I might end up screaming. I have a background ready for uploading 'n' stuff, showing that my website is as capable as my brothers' website. Fnarly.

Make a Stand!

It would be time, now, for the current wave of students at the level of going into A2-level. Hearing the Government has just 'done a U-Turn' on the Key Skills, now would be the time to claim something. 'Where there's a blame, there's a claim?' Indeed.

Fashion

Alright, I really am pissed off. I, for some reason, turned on 'Ukool' on CBBC this morning (and as with most annoying CBBC programmes the kids in it are Scottish) and saw some idle, dumb woman talking to the kids about their fashions. So now, as of this morning, it is uncool to wear baggy pants & chain, the hoodie, the bandana (girls) unless the wearing of such items is done in an unoriginal fashion.

This poses the question: are clothes designers getting lazy? I see various rehashes of clothes of old times, usually the 70s. Not new types of clothes, nothing you'd see in these programmes expressing ideas of the future, like, er, Futurama - just rehash after rehash. I suppose it could now be the time to start wearing clothes in a similar style to the gothic period, or something like what Adam Ant wears in the video of 'Stand & Deliver'. Or take the words of Aphex Twin 'The worst thing is to be fashionable' or something similar.

I'm outta here!

Stoke me a kipper, I'll be back for Christmas

I'm really gettin' miffed off with my Dreamcast; The Playhouse haven't even sent the damn thing off yet. I really want to play Sonic Adventure 2 now, as well as knowing that everything I would like to buy is out of range because I still don't have any monet. Or money. D'oh.

Things to buy:
Uresei Yatsura 1,2,4,6 (1,4 & 6 are on offer somewhere and this is supposed to be hot shit).
Saturn Games - Panzer Dragoon Zwei, Sonic Jam and others.
Music - Eels 'Mr E's Beautiful Blues, Weezer's latest album, old Beck stuff, Terrovision stuff, Pitchshifter, Space 'Spiders', possibly Faith No More (with cheesy vid for 'Epic', Great), Beastie Boys 'Aglio E Olio' and 'Frozen Metal Head' and other stuff.
Films - Clerks (I'm still to see it), Both Wayne's Worlds (I WILL get them, oh yes), and loads of Manga/Anime including Porco Rosso and more.
Plenty o' Music Vids, especially any Daft Punk.

Hopefully all for under £150, which I will aim to grab.

Amazin'!

I waltzed into the Playhouse the other day, as per usual. I spotted a big bunch o' Saturn games on the counter someone had previously left. 'Hmm', I thought, 'I wonder if I might find some gems, like Virtual On or even Burning Rangers?' So I instantly searched through the pile. Man, this guy had a good selection of games. I see 'Shining in the Holy Ark', which is very rare and is supposed to be DAMN good. I take that of to see 'Shining Force III'. Ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod! My search was over. 'I'll give you £30 for this!' I scream, although that could have been withheld, since all good Saturn games are now £30 in there. I was questioned for about 10 minutes with questions 'How much would this really sell for?' accompanied by blatantly false denials of 'I don't know'.

I got the game for £30; immediately the guy goes on the 'net finding people selling the game for as much as $120! Thank God for the term of haggling, although I could've conned the guy into thinking it was worth about £10 (although that may have been hard, some guy was there who knew all about the best games of rare). What a right royal gem of a game! And to think I got rid of it once... time to get 'Soul Calibur' back!

Shane McMahon

I don't care if this guy won't ever win a WWF belt, he has got to be the best wrestler there. OK, the guy may not be able to do everything, but he went for a Shooting Star Press! Only HBK did this, he gotta be great!

When watching matches with this guy, I usually focus on him. What he can do that will amaze (i.e. Backlash - wotta jump), what he can take (like many belly-to-belly suplexes into some tough suger glass - wow!) and how he wrestles. He's unique, quick, tough, athletic - he has been training harder than bomb defusal experts. He's good on the mic too; only Jericho and Regal better him. KOR was lukewarm, sadly.

Score

That is, musical score. When watching things like The Simpsons you will usually hear a musical score for a dramatic effect. What of these people? These unsung heroes who actually add to the programme without actually being there? They are never credit when due. The 'guy who did the lighting' is, though. Pish! These people do something; they've bothered to get up and do something, but probably go away empty handed. Shame. Guess that ain't much of a career.

I can't believe Jim accused me of some sort of plagiarism for my song! Either that or it's pretty well clichéd. Try, try, try, try again.

Song-Writing Chance 1

Alright, here goes:

she excused the hate
thought it was in dismay
but the truth was veiled
power surging every day
it hadn't gone
it was there
it was waiting to abduct her
brought her perspective to a whole new low
she was genuinely afraid, but couldn't go
her seeds were not for the sow
in vain she continued, eager to once flow
again
again
again
repeat lesson many times
inexcusable of all her crimes
reason gone, threw at the wall
failed once again to be tall

Holy-rocks.

Flavour of the Month

Right, it's so easy to get new internet sites all the time (OK, the sites are advert-ridden, but they're free). So, it comes to a thought of apparent:
- people will soon be able to get their own radio stations (hooby-groovy!)
- people will get their own TV programmes
- hey, go all the distance and get your own TV channel
- get a company
- get a country
- get a world
- galaxy
- universe
- all of it (lie, probably)

It's nice to know that websites not made by the profit-hungry are the best. What a nice thought.
