In a Borat Voice....Very Nice

As I predicted...Rage Against the Machine is playing more than their Coachella Festival date. They are headlining the Rok Out Music Festival (The festival is rok not rock) in San Bernardino at the National Orange Show. The Date August 11th with ticket on sale date being March 31st. The Wu-Tang Clan is also playing on the bill....Last years Rok Out Festival was headlined my Prodigy.

Not so Nice was the Reno 911:Miami movie. It was the worst movie I have EVER seen. I thought the movie would be bad but in a bad good way....so bad it was actually good like Beerfest and Super Troopers. Reno 911 lasted literally 65 minutes. My cousin and I walked in at 2:40...the movie finished at 3:45...seriously..don't see this movie...don't even rent it...in fact...don't even see the film debut on Comedy Central....it sucks

The movie that doesn't look like its going to suck is Zodiac...as some of you may know...I am a HUGE true horror film fan. The Zodiac killer began killer couples in the San Francisco area back in the 60's or 70's...After killing his victims he would make a call to the Police (Not the band) and tell them there is a murder at so and so location and oh by the way I killed them....he would then send cryptographic messages to the police...some of the letters have yet to been decrypted...The Zodiac killer has not been caught but as quickly as he started killing people...he stopped...read about Zodiac if you get a chance.

Itch to Bitch

Ya know, my foot was itching really bad on the way to work the other day...Yes I took a shower...but it was one of those itches that felt like it was coming from inside my foot. I took my shoe off and started scratching with my other foot....all this while I was driving on the 57 south ( a really busy freeway) I swear that damn itch itched for 30 minutes or so. Finally I pull off the 57 and enter my favorite donut shop, Donut Star. As I finally parked and was just about to reach down to scratch the hell out of the itch, the itch went away. That would have been a damn good scratch too...freakin itch teased me until I finally had a chance to wipe it out and it ran with its tail between its leg!

Death to the Itch bitches

Did You Know....

Did you know the reason chocolate melts in your mouth is because the melting point of chocolate is right below your average body tempurature?

ARGH!

Ok....

What does the Andy Griffith show and The Cosby show have in common....

Answer:

They are television shows that have NOTHING to do with the characters played on the show!

Andy Griffith...This show aired for about 8 years during the 60's and was about a Sheriff named Andy TAYLOR! This show should have been called the Andy Taylor Show! F*ckin sh#t man...

The Cosby show...First off...Lisa Bonet back in the day ::drools::: Now she's bald and ugly..but anywho...The Cosby Show was about a character named Heathcliff HUXTABLE!!!!!!!!!!!

Name a show after the freakin characters PLEASE!!!! Follow in the footsteps of Three's Company...When that show had Janet and Teri move on and it was Jack and that HOT airline stewardess, the show was named Two's a Crowd...Why?? Because Three's Company didn't make sense!!!

Popcorn

Have you ever popped microwave popcorn and found those kernals at the bottom of the bag that never seem to pop. Well the answer to that is because as the popcorn bag begins its dive to the big zero on the countdown clock the bag begins to cool. That and the fact that the oil in the bag has pretty much been dispersed to the popped kernals, there is nothing really going inside the bag to allow all the kernals to pop. So don't stick your bag back in the microwave to finish popping the kernals, you will end up burning the corn you already popped.

Enjoy!

Odd Dreams

I have had to very weird dreams in the past two nights...

Dream 1. I had a pet Bull...not a pitbull..a pet bull...He had full horns and would run around like a guarddog in my backyard...the only time he was calm was when he was around me.

Dream 2. I was on a bobsled team. I could clearly see the track and was telling my partner..duck down more...it will increase our speed.


Any thoughts...

Coachella

Birdman....don't ever doubt me again...All others...when it comes to music and concerts please trust me in what my predictions are.

Last week I sent a message to Birdman stating that Rage Against the Machine was offered 1.5 Million dollars to play at the 2007 Coachella Art and Music festival. He didn't believe it would happen.

Today....KROQ announced that Rage Against the Machine has reunited and will be playing at Coachella on night number 3 which is April 29th. This reunion has been 6 years in the making as they broke up in late 2000 or early 2001. There has been wide speculation as to why Audioslave raced to release their latest record "Revelations". From what I have been able to gather they had a 3 record contract and wanted to complete their obligations before moving on to other projects. Chris Cornell has been wanting to do a solo project for sometime now and well the other members reformed Rage.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I can't wait.

The other two Coachella dates will be headlined by Red Hot Chili Peppers and Bjork.

Top 5 Albums of 2006

Sorry for the delay...Have been pretty busy....but here it is

Audioslave's Top 5 CD picks of the year

Surprisingly enough, Audioslave's Revelations is not included on the list...The album lacked any energy I like to feel coming from an album. I don't even think that any of their songs made it to Radio. Rage reunion anyone?

5. Justin Timberlake - Future Sex / Love Sounds. JT as I like to call him was at one time on my hated list of musicians for a little group called NSuck...or something similar to that. He has made a complete turn around and with Timbaland cutting the tracks, this album makes you want to go out and boogie. Best track on the CD is easily Sexy Back but could be tied with My Love.

4. My Chemical Romance- Welcome to the Black Parade. This album showed how much this band has matured. Great anthems including Black Parade and the Teenagers Scare the Shit out of me track.I wonder what Bert McCracken is doing now that his band is less popular than the band that he found

3.Wolfmother- Self Titled. Nobody told me that Black Sabbath and Led Zepplin joined forces and created a new band...Oh wait...they didn't? That's right. Wolfmother's Self Titled album is one of my favorites. The lead singer has an awesome voice, the band has a new sound that gives me an eargasim, and there is not one bad song on this album. If you haven't bought it, buy it!

2.Incubus - Light Grenades. From top to finish, not a bad song on this album. I'm no mo, but Brandon Boyd's voice is freakin awesome

1. Tool - 10,000 Days. Many of my friends call this album Tool's weirdest and some find it kind of creepy. I love it. Radio hits Vicarious and The Pot are both good tunes but I have 4 favorite tracks on the cd: Wings for Marie, 10,000 days, Lost Keys (Blame Hofmann), and finally Rosetta Stoned. Lost Keys and Rosetta Stoned are to this album as Parabol and Parabola are to their previous Lateralus CD.

Lost Keys (Blame Hoffmann) is an intro song for Rosetta Stoned and refers to Albert Hoffman, the creator of LSD. The song itself has no lyrics but is a story of a Nurse speaking with a Doctor about a patient who is in this mental ward with no ID, stable vitals; they pretty much don't know what is going on with this patient. The Doctor proceeds to ask the patient, "tell me what is wrong". The patient finally answers the doctor in the song called Rosetta Stoned.

A little background for those who don't know what Rosetta Stone is. It is a stone which dates back to 196 B.C. The priests of Egypt would scribe into the stone in three different scripts: Greek (Egyptian language during that time), Demotic (common script in Egypt), and hieroglyphics (used for Religious Documentation). Rosetta is the town the stone was found in. It was used as a communication device so that the priests, government officials and rulers of Egypt could read what it said, it was sort of their newspaper. In this case it was written to honour the Egyptian pharaoh who had done good for the People of Egypt.

In the song Rosetta Stoned, the letter "d" was added to stone which signfies that this communicator is well...stoned..It is about a Man who is having a really bad acid trip just outside of Area 51 in the Nevada Desert (side note, I heard Area51 got moved to Idaho).This communicator thinks of himself as Rosetta Stone, the communicator, and is abducted by Aliens. He is supposed to tell all on Earth of how we are to die as the aliens told him. However, as the lyrics state, this communicator "forgot his pen, shit the bed again" (a saying used for messing up) and we will more than likely never know how aliens are going to kill us.

If you listen to the last song on Lateralus, there is a guy on there talking about how he used to work at Area51. I wonder if that person is Rosetta Stoned....

Enjoy...

Howdy

Hey people,

I apologize for not writing as much as I used to but I have been swamped with work and by the time I get home I am usually worn out.

For those who used to read Bean's blog I thought I would pass along some information to you. Bean sent me an email about a week and a half ago with pictures of his house. You see there was a storm that went through Seattle with 90mph winds and heavy rain. His guest house where his KROQ studio is, and two to possibly three of his cars were damaged by falling trees. He and his Donna are ok but he didn't mention anything about his animals. I hope they are all ok as well.

At my house today we are expecting 80mph winds. There are a lot of trees by our house which kind of worries me so I am hoping all will be ok.

New Years Eve in Las Vegas isn't happening for the Wife and I as originally planned. She has been sick with the flu for nearly two weeks and is on medication which means no drinking.

My Computer Forensics course is coming along well. I am on break from the course until mid January and I am looking for possible internship at places in So Cal.

I am also working on a re-buttal song to KROQ's Dave "The King of Mexico"s - The Clipper Nations back. I have written it, I just have to do some voice sound match up and it should be gold.

I hope you all have a good New Years. I will try and post my top 5 albums of this year before the new year is out. If not take care!

I'm Baaaaaack

I have not posted in a long time. The last time I think I posted was way back before Halloween and I apologize but I have been very busy.

A while back I wrote into a sports radio show here in LA (AM570 KLAC). The afternoon show there hosted by Joe Grande, Matt Money Smith and Wayne Cook has a segment called Good Times Gauntlet where on Thursdays they allow listeners to write a trivia for them. I submitted mine back in late October / early November and it was read on the air. My prize, a hockey jersey, and hat. Awesome...I've always wanted a hockey jersey...for those who do not know, I used to play rollerblade hockey back in the days...I wish the sport got the respect it deserved. Well I was contacted yesterday and since I have waited a while for the prize to arrive, they are sending it within two days and I am also getting Kings Hockey tickets!!! My first hockey game...I can't wait.

Night 2 KAAC

Night 2 of the KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas has been announced and let me tell you...It's a bit of a shocker..

Gnarls Barkley - Wasn't expecting yet not a surprise

She Wants Revenge - Wasn't expecting but a nice surprise

Angels and Airwaves - Got it

The Raconteurs- Got It

Snow Patrol - Got It

Evanescence- WTF?!?!?! Freakin KIIS FM reject band who no showed at the 2004 KROQ Weenie Roast...or was it 03? This band blows and is all hype...I hope they no show again and there is an awesome surprise in place of them.

Panic at the Disco- Didn't guess but should have.

Saosin (Pronounced SAY-OCEAN)

30 Seconds to Mars

Wolfmother

+44

Papa Roach

Fall Out Boy- This band fell out of no where to be playing this gig. They were booed out of Last Years Acoustic Christmas but brought back for this years? I don't get it. Hopefully Evanescence won't be the surprise guest

My Chemical Romance

Incubus

AFI

Foo Fighters- I called for this band to headline night number 2. While I was still correct that they will be playing it throws me off for night number 2. It could mean that they are playing both nights one Acoustic (Night 2) and Non-Acoustic (Night 1)

Acoustic XMAS

Its that time of year again...the KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas. This concert is by far my favorite of the year and one of the hardest concerts to get into, yet I have been to the past 5. Some bands that have played in the past years are Korn, Nine Inch Nails, Janes Addiction, Coldplay, Fiona Apple, Velvet Revolver, Brand New and many many more...Who will play this year? The announcement has not been made yet so as I do every year I am going to make predictions....

Night 1: (Not Acoustic)

Audioslave or Tool
Incubus
My Chemical Romance - Possible headliner..for sure Co-Headliner
30 Seconds to Mars - Opening band
Papa Roach

Night 2: (More Acoustic)

Foo Fighters (Acoustic Set)
Snow Patrol
OK Go!


This is just a partial guess. I have a lot of things running through my mind right now so I will post later as I cannot currently think straight

Death of a Blog

Today is the last day that Bean will write on his infamous Bean's Blog. It reminds me of the last day that KNAC was on the air here in Los Angeles. The station went off the air in 1995 and on its final day, was DJ'd by Lars and James from Metallica with the final song being Fade to Black. I clearly remember this because my cousin and I stayed home from school and taped the entire show. The ending of Bean's blog, I think will remain with its readers as the final KNAC show has stayed with me. As with the Fade to Black being the appropriate finish to KNAC, Tater-Tot walking away from the camera was the perfect way to end the blog. Kudos to a guy who didn't have to bring his personal life to us; to someone who wrote on a daily basis and if he couldn't would provide pictures in place of words. Kudos bean as we fade to black

FADE TO BLACK- Metallica

Life it seems, will fade away
Drifting further everyday
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free

Things not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost this can't be real
Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me, but now he's gone

No one but me can save myself, but it's too late
Now I can think, think why I should even try

Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye

A secret crush

There was a very funny segment on the Kevin and Bean show today. What cartoon character would you bang? When I heard about that I had to call in and reveal a secret crush I have had for a long time.

My secret cartoon crush has been April O' Neil from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. She was the freaky news reporter in a hot one piece yellow jumpsuit with the zipper zipped just enough down...oooooooh.....She was way hot. Hotter than any freakin news reporter out there right now...except for Lisa Joyner. And with Halloween coming up, I'm thinking about buying the wifey a yellow jumpsuit and a camera.

if you make a comment, please make a comment on those Cartoon characters you had a crush on...It will be a funny topic to look back on.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to you...Happy Birthday to you...Happy 25th Birthday baseball Waaaave...Happy Birthday to you

Ed Gein

Wow...245 people have viewed my profile..I think a month ago it was 37.

I promised you a story of Ed Gein and well here it is..I typed it up this morning just for you..enjoy..

Ed Gein (1906-1984) was a lonely Wisconsin farmer who lived alone and was very fond of his Mother. Ed had a sick perverted mind and at the age of ten, and an orgasmic experience when he witnessed his Mom and Dad slaughtering one of their farm animals. He was later caught masturbating in his bathtub to which his Mother decided throwing scalding hot water on him would stop him. She then proceeded to grab his junk and call them the curse of men.

His Mom, Dad, and Brother all died within a 5 year span. Soon after this, women in neighboring cities started disappearing. When Bernice Worden, a store clerk disappeared, police started an investigation which led them to Gein's farm. There the police found Worden's body hanging upside down in a shed. Her head decapitated and her body split from vagina to the neck.
Upon searching Gein's house, the police came across severed heads on bedposts, a necklace made of human lips, a woman's body outfit made out of a skinned female which included her breasts and vajay-jay. Human skulls were cut in half to make soup bowls, a human hear in a saucepan on the stove, and a human face made out of another humans skin.

In the end, Gein was convicted of killing two women but had admitted to digging up many women who resembled his mother. He was sent to a mental institution where he died in 1984 from cancer.

Some movies inspired by Gein include, Psycho, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Deranged,Silence of the Lambs, and House of 1000 corpses.

Here it is...Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning

A little background...I love horror movies that deal and or have events that can happen in real life...


The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (TCM from here on out): The Beginning was a gore fest from beginning to end. I kid you not in the first 5 minutes of the film, the owner of the meat packing company gets a hammer to his face....Did I mention it was a close up shot?

This movie is the prequal to the TCM that came out around 3-4 years ago. It shows about a family who lives in a small Texas town where the meat packing company, the last revenue generating facility in the city has closed down due to health reasons. Their town is also starting to be overrun by hippie kids and bikers which also pisses them off.

Characters:

Sheriff Hoyt: You remember him as the sheriff from TCM from 3-4 years ago. Was made a star by his dark sadistic humor which people absolutely loved. Well...he wasn't actually a sheriff...He was just a hungry old korean war veteran who killed the last sheriff in the city stole his clothes, drank his blood, and presumed his identity.

Momma: I'm not sure if she was Sheriff Hoyt's Mom but that's what he called her. They looked the same age...She was pretty much against what Leatherface and the Sheriff were doing but soon started going along with it. She even cooks them soup out of human remains.

The Uncle: He was the old man with no legs in the first TCM. Well he was also against the Sheriff's and Leatherface actions but he did not want to go against them either. This movie showed how he lost his legs. Starting out as a tow truck driver for the Sheriff, he was just an old man doing what he was told. A biker shots the Uncle in his leg. Having no medicine, the Uncle is suffering for part of the movie...Good ol' Sheriff took care of that and had Leatherface chop his leg off with a chainsaw. I started laughing at this part as the Sheriff said, "Look at that...you did a messy job...his legs are all uneven now...Chop off his other leg", which Leatherface did...There was nothing wrong with his other leg!!! It was just uneven.

Leatherface: Turns out this guy was abandonded as a child because he was really ugly. Momma found him while she was digging in the trash and took him home with her. While growing up he used to mutilate animals and soon became a worker at the meat packing company. When that closed down he still had the urge to kill and with the Sheriff's help, started killing off hippies and bikers. Leatherface didn't use a chainsaw for most of the movie. The first time he used it was when he threw a biker on top of it and turned the chainsaw on while the sheriff held the biker on top of the chainsaw! Awesome and gruesome....From here on out, the chainsaw was his weapon of choice.


In the movie 4 late teens of legal age (2 guys, 2 girls) were traveling because the two guys were brothers and were to be shipped off to Vietnam together. The younger of the two was going to run off into Mexico as he was scared to go to war. He started burning his report to duty card but his older brother saw and was like WTF? A biker girl started chasing the teens and the teens, not paying attention hit a cow in the road which caused them to flip. The biker was going to rob them when the Sheriff came and blew the bikers brains away and took 3 of the 4 teens, as well as the dead biker back to the hell house where he had his way with them...especially the girls..There were beatings, mutilations, torture, and killing that pursuded. Finger nails were pulled off, faces removed, human soup, blood drinking...you name it and it was in this Horror Flick of the Year...I won't give out the ending or in between parts but I give it two severed thumbs up.


As i mentioned this movie was really graphic. From close ups of Leatherface peeling the skin off of arms and a face to the beatings him and the Sheriff dished out. My wife was sickened by the sights and had to excuse herself for a few minutes. I loved the ending which I will not spoil for you but it is pretty eerie and leaves you saying...how can someone do that...

They say this is based off a true story which it is...Notice the words..based off...not every detail is word for word, action for action what happened. Either tonight or tomorrow I will give you the story of Ed Gein who if it wasn't for him we wouldn't of had movies such as TCM or Psycho...
