Anti-Rust

Gee, since x3me twisted my arm in the last post's comments I'm updating for his sake!

First off, once again, two nights in a row and two different shitty dreams to wake me up feeling pissy! Up yours subconscious mind, I'm not giving up sleep not for you and not for anyone so you can take the bad dreams and shove it up ur subass!

Secondly, lately i've been inspired enough to get some new muzak to listen to and since i rule with the iron fist I shall force feed some of my recommendation by jamming it in your ears, you can use the ear coning method described below to undo the damage, so here it goes, my fave new albums as of now...


1) BT - Emotional Technology
So yeah, I wasn't a huge fan of BT before and for that matter this album is extremely pop but it's so damn well produced that I had no option but to love it, even the songs that sounded fruity at first has grown on me, the buzzes and fuzzes and effects on the vocals are amazing and for that matter inspirational for any electronic music enthusiast!

2) Postal Service - Give up
Simply said it's feel good music. So mellow yet not boring, with surprisingly good lyrics, this one is a sure shot recommendation, it's so chill that i'd be seriously surprised if someone hates it, those people will be shot and prosecuted!

3) Quarashi - Jinx
Ok, so this is a lil' over a year old but since I just discovered it then it's new to me. these guys are beastie boys of Iceland, they sound like them, rap/rock flavor and the guys whiney voice, depending on how hard he's yelling, sounds either like the beasties or zach de la rocha of rage against the machine. It's an energetic album, a true waker upper for those who like this type of music!

Other ones worth a listen, but not raving after, for the electronic music fans out there Fluke's new album Puppy and Underworld's Hundred Days Off are pretty decent too. Alrighty, time to go look at Mars!

Ears of Fire!

So among the more amusing things that happened to me this past weekend was having my ears on fire and letting a friend lite up his cigarrette using my ear! Lets make this clear that by ears on fire I don't mean the slang about when someone's talking behind your back, I'm talking about real flames and real ear! It started with a few friends on a porch talking about random things, I have no idea how the conversation came about but someone said there are these candles that are hollow inside and you stick one end in your ear and lite up the other end and the flame consumes the oxygen inside the hollow candle which in turn creates a vacume that sucks your ear wax out, sounds exciting? What was even more interesting was that the host had bought a couple of these things and had tried it before and still had one left! I thought what better thing to do on a Sat night at around 10pm than to stick a burning candle in my ear so I volenteered, and as fun and amusing as it was, I can tell you it really wasn't the most effective way to get rid of ear wax out, I'd still recommend a q-tip, but a friend lighting a ciggarette off my ear was priceless!

Nuture's Cruel Joke #47: The Anti-Sleep

People sleep to (a) rest and (b) forget about their troubles but sometimes the one thing you count on to ease your mind turns against you. I hate having fight dreams, like all the butting heads with regular people during the day wasn't good enough that the subconscious feels the need to produce more of it in form of a dream, and you go to bed thinking you're gonna get some rest and it's all gonna be better but wake up mosre stressed, and that's how nature fucks with you!

WD-40

They say WD-40 fixes everything, and if it doesn't, it pro'ly didn't need to be fixed to begin with.
