More on music

So I finally got rid of the old ('97) Sentra I had and got a slightly used Hyundai Sonata. Its nice! I like it! Nice features and the power on this thing is amazing! Not that my old Nissan was a piece of trash-it still ran well, considering that I had never really done anything maintenance-wise except to change the oil!

Anyway these Sonatas come with XM Satellite radio standard. I love this feature! I love the variety of music that Satellite offers. There's rock, pop, soul, rap, '40s, 50's, 60's 70' 80's, and 90's music...everything! Well, there's this "sub channel" (XMLM-"XM-Liquid Metal") on the rock category that features extreme heavy metal. Like, what is called "black metal" or "death metal." I'm talking really heavy, heavy, metal so that you can't pick it up metal. Now, I like heavy metal like the Scorpions, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, etc, stuff that I loved in my teens and early twenties, but this stuff is the heaviest of all heavy metal. Like really heavy! By chance, in switching channels one day, I caught this station playing some of this stuff and I really had to listen, but I think I caught some of the lyrics of a few songs. As a service to you, Dear Reader, I am transcribing two songs that I heard today. You don't have to thank me.

Here is the player for the lovely little ditty called "Hammer Smashed Face" by Cannibal Corpse.


Here are the lyrics for "Hammer-Smashed Face"-These lyrics are accurate. Pretty sure. I may be wrong, but I don't think so!

Cannibal Corpse- Hammer-Smashed Face:

"Cookie…it good… eat…
Eat…eat, public ohhh…
Good… me for good
Oohhh…me love some more
Me love some more cookie…
Two for the fantasy…
Word to “Effie”…
(guitar break)
Ooooh, me go make in toilet…
Make big poo poo in toilet
Make poo poo make big poo poo in toilet
Short guitar break/tempo change:
Ooohh its big…
Really fuckin big…
Really fuckin big
Fuckin big
Fuckin big
Tempo change:
Something in my poop
something in my poop
Slow tempo again
Pussssy, pissss youuuu!
Pusssssssyy!
Back to Refrain/chorus:
Eat a big dong, “W”
Eat a big one on the service silver
Eat a big one
on me, on me
Slow tempo:
Oooohhhh!
So far, it get me dowdy
Don’t you, want me?
Fast Tempo:
Do you wanna fix it?
Do you, do you think?
‘Cause its you who broke it
You a pencil!
AWWWWWWWW!
Hey you’re cuuute!
Just wanna be with you!
What is this thingy?
Never seem to miss you!
(Faster)
Just go on with that dude!
Hans Solo rampart,
Tea for two- bonjour!
Hezbollah, will avoid!"

Here is the player for Amon Amarth's "Victorious March" another lovely ballad.



Here are the lyrics-again accurate as can be...
Amon Amarth -Victorious March:

"Dolomepei was the Prince of Clowns!
Wear an enema, or rock the prius night!
Don’t wanna rub on the business balls!
Aww, the enema, died just on the business balls!
They’re against the salt!
Whats this!? Behind me?
Its live! No mercy was shown!
No mercy- awwww! Was showwwwn!
Got another pie- I’m gonna let go!
The god of said horses to the ground!
No sons of weakness no sons of weariness!
No ary-mongers are involved in their eyes!
Ooh!
Let’s do the “Newfoundland” then we will be “Church”!
By knowledge, let’s love cyclones dry!
You’re headed for…a certain book!
Which is nass-stay!
The serpent will disown!
Will my baby, uhh, miss me?
Blah blah blah"
(indecipherable-actually, I couldn’t take it anymore!)

Hey I did my best! Decoding Death Metal lyrics is really, really difficult!

Speaking of Death Metal...Pablo Francisco who I think is a pretty good comedian, does a good little bit about it here: (first seconds of video are messed up for some reason)



And...speaking of Cannibal Corpse, the Australian comedy troupe The Chaser did a funny take on CC's music if it would be done as lounge music! Funny stuff!


This is kinda funny-oh the irony!

Bad taste in music can be a funny thing

I have been coming across several blog-mate's posts about (bad) music Color Me Horrified... or featuring (good) music videos, americanscot.blogspot.com/2007/11/music-corner-sleater-kinney.html and it made me think about a website I found several years ago called You Have Bad Taste In Music. www.youhavebadtasteinmusic.com/ This guy with the pseudonym Eman Laerton (ha ha-funny) actually went to concert venues and berated people about their choice of attending concerts by such acts as: Justin Timberlake, Ruben Studdard, Nickelback, Hoobastank, and Linkin Park, wearing a crude disguise of raincoat or trench coat,(?) shorts, a funny-looking military type helmet circa WWI, a crate to stand atop, and armed with a megaphone. Occasionally, some of the people (especially at the Train concert hall-who would think the fans of Train would be rowdy, combative drunks? Maybe they were just really embarrassed to be seen outside a Train concert!) get mad and threaten him. Most of the people waiting to go into these concerts laugh and get a kick out of his statements that the PABT (People Against Bad Taste) have deemed them to be suffering from chronic bad taste in music. He's funny, and maybe to those people attending those concerts an eye-opener to that bad taste in music that they have subscribed to with their ticket purchases. He has not posted any new videos lately. I think that's a shame. There is still quite a lot of bad taste in music out there! Give us some more Scientific Proof findings!

On his website, there are Quick Time clips available, but I am posting some clips that I found on YouTube by "Eman Laerton."

John Mayer Concert:


Linkin Park


Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera


Evanescence


The infamous Train clip

And now for something totally different...

*I went back and checked links/clips and found some were not working. I fixed most of the bad links, but had to delete a few clips that weren't available anymore or changed the clip's subject. Sorry if you had been having problems with those earlier. All should be working ok for now!

No clips or strips today. Just a comedian, who has been known to do some stand up (hmmm, gotta check that out for this blog) but mostly a humor writer. Probably some clips of Leon's exploits will be forthcoming.

I wrote in an earlier post that I had read a book called Republican Like Me by Harmon Leon. The book, a screw-ball take on the the John Howard Griffin book, Black Like Me, was an expose of Leon's infiltration of various right wing groups-like John Birch Society, abortion protesters, Evangelical Christians and even white supremacists. That's what Leon does I guess, www.misterpants.com/library/harmonleon/infiltrate various groups and then write about them and the interactions he has with them. I thought Republican Like Me was very funny. Looking at the reviews on both the Barnes and Noble site and Amazon, it interesting to see that there are some who really, really hate this book. They often give it one star. Some claim to be liberal. I doubt it. If you call yourself a liberal or a progressive or you just believe in the tenets, doctrines and principles that happen to be "progressive" "liberal," then you will love this book. (I think!)
I found an article from Leon about his infiltration of the right-wing counter-protest group The Protest Warriors hq.protestwarrior.com/ ("fighting the left...doing it right") on the Cracked www.cracked.com/ site. (like The Onion,www.theonion.com/ Cracked has seemed to have successfully made the modifications to continue to be humorous as hell in the online version of the magazine.) I had a huge stack of Cracked and Mad magazines when I was teen!
I have often wondered what would happen if someone could infiltrate a group like the Protest Warriors. I think this might explain what would happen. Here is the link to the Harmon Leon article. www.cracked.com/article_14960_i-infiltrate-right-wing-protest-group.html Hope you enjoy it.

Catch you later,
M

Comedians, clips and comics-what its all about.

This first comedian is Doug Stanhope. I had not heard of the guy, but saw a comparison of him to Bill Hicks, so I was very intrigued. I love Bill Hicks, he was/is a great comedian, so any comparison to him is something I take seriously! Uhmmm... I don't know. He's (Doug Stanhope) ok-these clips are ok, but the comparison is...well there is no comparison. There's no one like Bill Hicks!





I'm stealing the next two clips from blog buddy Tattooed and Atheist Aye! small thoughts....They are of British comedian Eddie Izzard-talking about religion in England and in general.
americanscot.blogspot.com/2007/11/friday-funnys.html


This is wild. I had not heard of the Flying Spaghetti Monster phenomenon going around the Internet, but I like it. This song is actually kind of cool musically! Combined with the "animation" its pretty humorous!




Here's a few comic strips. One of my favorites, Perry Bible Fellowship, by Nicholas Gurewitch is consistently, strangely, good.

Clips Galore

Hope everyone had a nice, safe Thanksgiving!
I used to always watch Star Trek with some friends and we would alternate between "hey, that's pretty cool", to doing MST3K-type commentary. We woulda had fun with this episode like the authors of this clip did! This is a great clip of when Spock decided to drop out, turn on, and tune in...or whatever. Groovy man!


I had posted a old clip of The Amazing Jonathan earlier, c3fun.blogspot.com/2007/07/do-you-all-remember-mystery-science.html before he had really become more well-known. This clip is still a little old but he had gotten his somewhat dark, sight gag-laden comedy act down by the time he appeared here for the World's Greatest Magic II. Here are parts 1and 2.




As I may have mentioned before, I don't watch too much TV. I just caught The Office lately. (I know, I know-that is really behind the times!) This show is great! I see what everyone is talking about! I thought I would post this clip which catches some of the best pranks on Dwight.



I am trying to find some fresh comedian clips for posting, maybe tomorrow, if I find some decent ones.
See you!

Childish chunks of churches, Cheney, and choppy channel chortles.

As you might have noticed, I have been running on empty lately for posting stuff. I am trying to get back into the swing of things, but work has been extremely busy and stressful lately too, so that hasn't helped. Oh well, here goes with a few things...

Our Vice Prez is such a guy. Here he is in his classic look.





I know...I know! The above post makes me want to chuck up chunks! Maybe these will give you a laugh or two!













This is a kinda shocking clip.

Skink and Shred

I have always liked Chris Elliot. He's a funny guy with a great sense of humor! This is a good parody of Dog TBH. Here's a few clips from the David Letterman show.








*Update-St Sanders-(Santeri Ojala) the author (whom I unfortunately forgot to name in the original posting) of these really funny guitarist clips, has had to pull these great clips from YouTube due to the original guitarists citing copyright infringement. Copyright infringement!? For pete's sake people, get a f'n life! These clips are parodies. They did not have original songs or music. Awful. Well, at least they are available at this Wired link Banned From YouTube: Parody Guitar Videos . (I'm leaving the old useless video posts as a testament to the idiocy of taking these funny clips down!)
Some more great guitarists whose playing has recently gone awry! Santana's guitar playing has really deteriorated since he played with Rob Thomas!



In this rare video of Ozzy when he had Jake E. Lee, its surprising to see just how bad Jake was in concert! Heck, even Ozzy's clapping is off!
