A Comprehensive List

I finally mapped it all out. There is a possibility that one or two is missing from here and I left out a lot of opening acts because I, for the life of me, cannot remember their names. Not to mention, Warped Tour is such a clusterfuck there is no possible way to know every band you've seen. Not to mention, I put some future dates on there and anything can happen to prevent the show (lost tickets, injury, selling tickets to support crack habit, etc.) Bon appetit!

3 Amazing Moments in Recent Music History

Three scenes you can never get enough of.

George Bush hates black people

Not even Mike Meyers knew how to counter this comment. When the man of indecency can't even make this run smoothly, you know there is a problem. Congrats Kanye, you have managed to become one of the most hated icons in Hip Hop.



Muse Mix-Up: Stumping the Italians

After being asked to mime their performance of 2009's Uprising, the Brit Prog-Glam rock band rebels in their Muse-like fashion: switching up their roles to a completely oblivious Italian television crowd. Sorry, but drummers don't normally play like muppets.



Maynard Attacks!

When a diehard fan jumps on stage, Maynard James Keenan uses his knowledge of fighting tactics and manages to keep the intruder down the whole song without missing a word. Could this be why Tool is so popular? More bands should look into this.

21 Best Music Videos Since 2000


That's right. Since 2000. Going any further back would not only be a lie to my youth, but a lie to all man kind. And really, it's only the future that matters right? Bring on the modern tunes! Hair Metal is going to be sitting this one out. (NOTE: Click the title names for videos.)
__________________________



Holy Britney's nipples! Oh wait, that's just a jewel.



Is this really what our ADHD ridden children are seeing? Raw meat, sharks, and beautiful women. Now that's American!


Not the love sick "Maps", but the Thriller style pseudo Michael Jackson makes up for it.




This would have been Battlestar Galactica if Paul Newman played lead.



Ballsy Justin. Bringing sexy back before it was even needed.



One kick ass fedora.




This wouldn't have been a Top 20 without them.


Matt Lauer would be proud.



One word: creepy.



If the imagery doesn't get you, then Rihanna herself may.



Madonna, you have been replaced.



Proof that a big budget means nothing.



Take that Walmart!



Welcome to the New World Order.



Bring on the lesbian action!



As least one thing on here has to be serious.



Remember this? Yeah, probably not.



A touch of love, a little desperation, a spot of Europe, and... a crazy talking bear.



The pedophile next door has evolved.


Sorry Twilight fans, Decode just didn't cut it.



Love them or hate them, the simplicity of this video will eat away at you.

New Video From Muse


Could it be MK Ultra? We'll have to wait and see!
Image owned by Muse and Muse alone. Go to www.muse.mu or www.twitter.com/muse for more. 14 new North America tour dates released! Check the above links for more details! Pre-sales started on Wednesday, most have sold out.

Finally...

Dead Letter Circus is becoming available en masse. Little known to America, the Australian native Dead Letter Circus has created a cult and viral underground fan base. The much anticipated debut following the EP's "Next in Line" and "Dead Letter Circus" is due May 14th and available for pre-order via their website (www.deadlettercircus.com or www.myspace.com/deadlettercircus). The package comes with special perks including a digital download at midnight on release day and VIP access. While it may not be cheap for non-Australians, one listen of "The Space on the Wall" will prove every penny worthy.

New & Arrogant

I realized recently that I am an aspiring music journalist with no aim. So I came to the decision that I would follow the mass of self-centered internet girls and make my own blog where I will talk incessantly about myself. Except all (95%) will be about music, not the new boy in my College Writing class. I will do my best to whore this site and improve my already faultering writing abilities (shit rolls downhill you know). I appreciate any kudos, but more or less, I appreciate hate mail more. This is if I get any attention (because we all know today's youth likes to think all eyes are on them). A quick apology for any spelling, typing, or grammatical errors I may have. Still trying to work out the kinks. Thanks for reading. I'm excited to actually be launching myself finally. And welcome to hell!
