Bring Your Own Stereo

So it has taken me a few days to post a new blog. I have found out that my computer wont let me email or write in text boxes so I cant blog or email at home. So here at work were I am so busy is where I will fill you people with my ramblings and thoughts. It also appears that more people have realized who I am though Ill never say who I am the Word and Peace Bitches should give it away. Another note here, from now on the titles of my blogs will be either song titles or album names feel free to try and guess the song/title or cheat with the internet, which ever you feel to do.

Now back to the purpose of this post. Music. Is it me or does music just suck ass right now. I bring this up because of Cores post of the top 50 albums and realized I had 2 and both were Eminems. Now I agree with some of the albums up there, however, I feel that music now is just not that good. The 'The" bands are killing me The Killers, The White Stripes and the like winning rock awards and topping the charts just kills me. These bands are not rock, not in its truest form atleast. I have done some serious thinking about the state of rock and realized that many different things have affected the aggressiveness of popular rock. First off the war and Sept 11th I feel have cause a reduction in hard "angry" rock. The late 90's were a great time for rock bands Godsmack, System of a Down and Staind had all just released their first albums. Even bands like Third Eye Blind and Matchbox Twenty were out with good mainstream rock albums and then tragedy. Now I am not here to talk bad about peoples musical taste, Im just here to try and figure out what happened to my "rock". Kid Rock went from an American Bad Ass to a country rock act. Rage Against the Machine broke up and the band members formed AudioSlave who do pretty basic rock not bad but far from RATM. I just want some rock these emo punk bands need to realize that life isnt over and these pop punk bands need to be shot. If MTV actually plays your video during the day you are not a real rock band. Another thing is bands becoming political, please stop. Green Day STOP. Green Day is a band I dont quite understand. They go from a good fun little punkish band to a political band aiming their views at Americas youth. Now lets take a look back about 10 years ago when Green Day was good with an album named Dookie and great songs about sexual frustration and masturbation. So now fast forward to them being 30 and pretty much a band who feels its ok to put out their political views and young people think they know what they are talking about. The Beastie Boys are another band that has fallen into this category no more Girls Girls Girls but now its Shit Shit Shit. I really dont know how I got here or even why I chose to write about this, I guess its the lack of quality music that I like and being force fed this monkey shit. So now Im over all of this and sorry to disapoint with a really random blog. Oh well.

By the way we are getting our first hurricane up this way, it looks as if its going to miss us and stay out at sea. Which is good because the day that it may hit is my day off and I dont want to work. They do the 12 hours on and 12 hours off here because we are so close to the coast that we dont have to drive 4 hours to get there. So yeah its been real venting and I promise most of my posts wont be like this I just wanna rock. Oh yeah Twisted Sister bitches. On a rock note Im trying to go see Ted Nugent at the end of the month alright is it Wango is it Tango. So yeah gotta love songs about sex. Until next time, Peace Out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can we listen to Barry Manilow as we draft? He's not too emo, I hope. :-)
