Opera. Yeah, I know, it sucks. After listening to some old #### I used to hear as a kid, I couldn't help but notice how opera played a huge part in the lives of myself and my siblings. My siblings and I had to endure this stuff as kids while our parents blasted this stuff on the stereo. There was a time when I wouldn't claim opera even if you tortured me. Now that I'm older, I see how opera is all around us in every way. We all live it, in a sense. Opera talks about some serious grown-up #### that we all must go through in order to become a man or a woman. Sometimes, it talks about darker things...
Take this next installment, for example. This is "Vesti la Guibba" from Leoncavello's "Pagliacci". It talks about a clown who is a jealous husband. This guy takes it like a champ...at first. His wife is running around behind his back, and he is now a laughing-stock. He is juggling his moral values.(pun intended) Finally, he lets his primal side take over, and he does the unthinkable. I won't link the whole episode in it's entirety. I will only link the part which sounds the most heartbreaking. There is only one singer that can fully deliver this epic story. Luciano Pavarotti. Unfortunately, his masterful rendition is without a translation. I will link a random performer's rendition that happens to have a translation first, and you can view his performance before Luciano's. With all due respect, this random guy is awesome in his own right, but he aint no Luciano. I must be the only redneck in the whole state of NC that speaks Italian lmao.
Today was a good day, maggots! My girl wanted me to go to a dinner party at one of her girlfriend's houses. I told her I would only go if she agreed to see Prometheus in 3d with me. She hates those types of flicks, but she grudgingly obliged. Man, Prometheus is the best movie I have seen since Saving Private Ryan. I prolly scared her 5 times times during the movie by grabbing her thighs or arms at the perfect moment of suspense in the film lmao. She knew I liked it, because she told me I never once tried to fool around during the movie lol. Anyways, after the film we went to the lame party. Man, there were no dudes worth talking to. Nobody had a favorite NFL team. Nobody even had an interest in the awesome movie I had just seen. Buncha panzy, nancy-boys with pasty faces. There was more talk of different types of Merlot wine than anything else. Lame. At least the food was good. At least the wine was flowing. Her friend, who was hosting the party, was pretty cool. She can cook her ### off.
About halfway through the lameness is when I heard it. She put in a cd from a group called The Buena Vista Social Club. I was mesmerized from the instant the music started to play. I was pretty much in a wine-induced state of wonder. I was transfixed on the new music I was hearing. I played along when ppl talked to me, but I was in another place. After the party she even let me borrow the cd so that I could burn it. I get the same feeling from hearing cool, new music as I do from dating a new woman. I can't really describe it any better than that. Either way, I had just seen one of the best movies in my life and I got to hear some of the best music I had ever heard in the same day! Life is good, maggots! Here are some of the best tunes from that cd. Enjoy!
Want to get some tonite, maggot? Play these three tunes, or any other from this group, for that matter, and you can. These tunes, combined with your rhythm and confidence, will allow you to get any chick you want. As long as you're a half-decent looking guy, these tunes will transcend any and all language barriers. White, black, asian, hispanic, purple...it don't matter. It's all up to you to #### it up.
Although I haven't had to use these in quite some time, they have never steered me wrong. I can attest to at least one kid being born as a result of these songs that wouldn't otherwise be in existence lmao. She was totally out of my league, but with the help of these guys there is a mini Flesh roaming about. These songs still work. I can guarantee that they will melt panties and turn them into honey. I have confidence that Turbine will not delete this post, because they could possibly be shutting out a potential customer that has yet to be born. How cool would it be to show your future kid this post as an inspiration to his/her conception? There have been countless millions of kids with even more lame inspirational conceptions. I am only a messenger. Enjoy, maggots!
Greetings, maggots! These next three instalments are my vision of the most beautiful girls in the world. The first two are self-explanatory. What man wouldn't want these two girls? The disturbances in the air created by their subtle movements triggers the furnaces within me. It seems I can sense their heat from across an ocean. Why is it that the actions and movements from men seem to breed death and destruction while the actions and movements from women tend to breed new life and happiness? I guess we will never know. My third pick will confuse and addle others. It just goes to show that a tool like me can think of a woman that is intellegent, confident, dignified, talented and worldly as sexy. All three of my picks fall under this category, now that I think about it. I really don't have an explanation as to why I think of this 3rd woman as a sex symbol. Political views aside, I picked a clip that best portrays each woman in her best light. Enjoy!
Whoa! Estrogen levels are at an all-time high. My bad. Allow me to set the balance straight. Here are some of my favorite tunes from a killer band back in the day. Welcome to the jungle, maggots!
Screeching Weasel are the originators of pop punk, the put out a split 7" with heavy political band Born Against in the 90's where they did one of each others songs on it. Here is El Mozote about a US sponsored massacre in El Salvador, done in Screeching Weasel's poppy style:
"Which Three's Greatest Hits"! Here are my favorite picks from those other than myself who had the guts to post here. I just might add 3 of my personal favorites from picks I had posted myself. Enjoy, maggots!
More tokin! If you don't like older metal then don't click here. I was that punk skater kid, once. I had my Airwalk shoes and Vision Street Wear t-shirts. Every now and then I had on a pair of Jamz. I was too heavy for my boards at 16 (6' 185 lbs) I broke so many trucks I finally gave it up lmao! Suck it, noobz!

haha. love me some slayer. and i still wear airwalks. had to stop jumping in the pits at their shows though a few years back. back goes out for week now instead of a day or two. and like fine wine they improved over the years. my fave album by them...
Greetings, maggots! I feel an evil soul stirring in the depths of moors hell. This unholy progeny has been clawing it's way upward though the endless abyss that is the mass freep grave at upper bogs. The oceans of freep blood and tears spilled there has triggered an awakening. This abcess in the earth is a womb of chaos and will forever be a site of worship by all those who serve the eye. There is a storm brewing on the horizon. The sky is turning red...
Perspective. Most folks can't see beyond their own footfalls let alone another's. This band has always been cast in the light of others who wish to pass judgement. They shrugged it off and moved forward. That is what is so great about America. No other country in the world can say they have freedom of speech and truely back it up. This instalment is an extension of my rights as an American citizen. Don't like it? Don't click on it. Your faith is in question. No other metal bands even come close.
Dubstep. Just heard about it. Very cool. I embrace any and all types of music. This stuff reminds me of some things I used to hear back in the day. Either way, it's what mixtapes and offspring were made of.

this one is what inspired me to pick up a guitar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iz5E9kqzbk
I heard this one day in my studies and my instructor laughed when I said The Doors wrote it. What did I know? I was a dumb kid lmao. And yes, this is the same John Williams who wrote all the Star Wars and Indiana Jones music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7W9L94W1i7A
This one I remember the very first time it came on the radio for me. I must have been 4. I was riding in the back of my family's bigass Suburban lying on my back looking up at all the tall buildings in downtown Philly. It was that same day I had a real philly cheesesteak for the 1st time. The view and food was awesome, but I will never forget the 1st time I heard this. I remember passing by an old catholic cathedral with the tall stainglassed windows and rigid steeple towering above right when the song started. Something about the organ...must be a catholic thing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHhrZgojY1Q
Greetings, maggots! Up all night and enjoying my week off. I want to give a shout-out to that random chicken that died to end up on my grill. YOU ROCK! I would also like to thank that apple tree that died for the smoke that made that dead chicken so succulent. I dont add anything to my food when I grill except for fire and smoke. More rock now! I guess this stuff is old enough to call it classic rock. Who cares? Maiden!
amazing how that album (i used to call it ole faithful cause when i couldn't decide on what to listen to i just popped it in) captures the atmosphere out there
Greetings, maggots! As a reaver, I get my a$$ kicked on a regular basis. I try not to think it's because I suck. I dust myself off and go back out there and try again. Sometimes, I am triumphant. Here are some of my favorite tunes to listen to when I get my a$$ kicked in the moors. Listen to these before you post on pvp forums, please. These songs translate well when you apply them to real life as well. Carry on, maggots!
On an unrelated note, if I were ever to capture an image of feminine perfection, here's what it would look like. What can I say? I like the bad girls. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFCmhlubqNM
Happy 4th, maggots! Today was a good day! Plenty of dead animals sizzled on my grills and there was great music in the air! Yeah, it was music a bunch of 30 year olds would agree upon, but there was an appetite for destruction once my brown paper bag full of explosives started to empty itself. I went to the South of the Border and picked up a few things that would make this family happy without having to brave the traffic on post in order to see some fireworks. I turned to one of my nephews to provide the tunes during our main event. He just started driving and he has a killer stereo system in his ride. His car would provide the soundtrack to our festivities...so I thought. The moment I hit play on his stereo was when the parental drama started.
He is totally into some &&&& called Black Metal. I only know this because that is what he calls it. His mom, my older sister, has no antidote in her arsenal to counter this. She behaves as if this music is new and that her son is the only one who would listen to it. Little does she know that this stuff is older than we are. This is plain ol' Death Metal. She doesn't recall me blasting this stuff in the mornings as we all got ready for school. She was a fan of &&&& music like New Kids on the Block, Duran Duran and Debbie Gibson in the late 80's/early 90s. She was blinded by the mass acceptance of mediocre music. Those who could see, like me, listened to darker things. I was a headbanger. I didn't listen to Death Metal for long. I listened to it long enough.
We needed more beer for the party and my nephew opted to drive one of his hammered uncles to the store. I am his favorite uncle. I hopped into his ride and was jamming with him to the loud Black Metal as we stopped at the redlight closest to the store. To my amazement, he turned the volume down as other cars pulled up beside us at the redlight. I just turned my head toward him with that look of disappointment on my face and turned it up to twice what the volume was beforehand. We sat at that redlight and jammed for a few more seconds. Greenlights ensued and we were on our way.
My point of this story is never be ashamed of whaterver music you are listening to. Blast that &&&& at every redlight. And if you're going to listen to Black Metal, at least listen to these three songs that paved the way. BTW, if you're a dude and wear make-up, you're a poser. If you're a dude and have big hair like in the late 80's, you're a poser. If you're a dude and your lead singer sounds like a chick...you're a poser. I gave a CD of a few Death Metal songs I burned to my nephew. I hope he understands that the new &&&& he is listening to is for posers. A band should never have to wear make-up, masks, or nail polish. If they do they are posers. I am happy to say that as of today my nephew is no longer a poser. Carry on, maggots!
Rejects. I know I had them back when I was a kid and used to walk with some friends from the hood to the mall to buy new tunes. We would walk 4 miles one way to the Camelot Records store that was nestled in the mall. Sure, you could buy the stuff from a band you saw on Headbanger's Ball, but where is the newness in that? Once upon a time, the Metal section in a music store was enormous. You had a LOT of choices. Whether or not that choice was a wise one was up for grabs. Here's a few posts of some really &&&&ty bands that I took a gamble on and lost. There was at least one good song on the entire album or I would'nt even remember them. After a fasion, I would buy an album based on how cool the cover art was lmao. Bad move. Enjoy these rejects, maggots! Maybe some of you had made some of the same purchases as me. I doubt it, though.
Ever locked eyes with a beautiful woman dancing in the firelight just for you? It's amazing. I've never felt like more of a man than this. What makes it even better is when she dances with that all-knowing half-smile you women tend to master at birth. Dark hair paired with dark eyes melts my soul. I don't know what got into her, but my ol' lady really let her hair down tonight. All I did was cut the grass and grill some grouper and light some storm debris on fire. Oh yeah, I drank a truck load of Coors, too. My ol' lady seems to get turned on by some of the things I do that I am not aware of. I am always in the dark when it comes to that. But you will never hear me complain lmao. Maybe it's because I purposefully lined up a playlist designed to make tops come off lol. These tunes, which I hold dear and consider an intimate portion of my life, combined with a large fire seem to make the ladies beg for my attention lmao. I rarely play these for anybody, unless I'm trying to get in your pants lol. And when you hear these tunes you will immediately understand why there are no words. Music and rythym have no need for useless words. I've never been married, but this chick makes me want to shop for a ring. I always figured I'd be the last guy on Earth to ever get married. I have too many friends that have taken the plunge and are now divorced. I hope the sex starts to suck soon. Fat chance after dating for a year. I have no problem with her pumping out 10 of my sons. Here are a few tunes I play when it's just me and her. Enjoy!
Dealer finally came through tonite. Cooked up some perfect burritos. Had the house all to myself. What could possibly get any better than this? Ipod played exactly what I needed to hear for a change. Out of the 4-5 hours I listened to the playlist on shuffle only these 3 stood out from the rest. Aint heard these in years. I was lovin the whole concert. I will never have a better tasting batch of burritos ever again. Enjoy!
