Dickolas Cage

What better way to kick off a week, then to get this absolutely disgusting photo from Buske.

"I hate Nicholas Cage. I hate his voice. I hate his hair and lack of a hair line. I hate his mouth. I hate his acting, or lack there of. I do, however, love the Internet and this photo for existing." -Buske

Asshole For Hire

I've never seen an episode of Dawson's Creek, let alone know who the fuck this guy is. If anything, if someone asked if I'd ever even seen Dawson's Creek, I'd probably reply with something along the lines of, "Fuck them, I listen to Madball".

Asshole For Hire from James Van Der Beek

Ignorance aside, James Van Der Beek who plays Dawson on said TV series takes full blame for setting the unrealistic standard of always being the sweet, apologetic good guy—the trait his character portrays on the show that captivates women's hearts around the world. I think it's safe to say, some of the scenarios you are about to see are very accurate to how us men think and may say at times.

Enjoy, fellow assholes.

This Just In...Being Homeless Stinks.

Ted Williams is a homeless guy in Columbus, OH with an awesome voice.  He sounds like every other radio guy out there, so hopefully someone sees this and helps him get his life back together.  I thought the guy behind the camera making him "work" for his dollar was a little demeaning, especially since it doesn't appear that he ever gave him a dollar.

Corey Taylor - XM@$

Further proof that Corey Taylor is a bad ass.


Not many Christmas songs can reference Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa. Great song, great video, instant classic.

Hit the jump for a behind the scenes look at recording the song and Corey's description of the song (spoiler alert: he actually loves Christmas).

The Elephant In The Room

Guy walks into a barbershop and says, "Give me the BABAR".

Buske's Top 5 Crowbar Records

Buske's been in bands (Another Victim, Santa Sangre, The Promise, Terror, Maximum Penalty, Nasty Posse) for as long as I've known him, which has been well into 10 years now. He's passionate about music, and Crowbar is at the top of his list.  When I asked him to compile this list, I think he ran a gamut of emotions...Excitement. Anger. Responsibility. Anxiety. Anger. Confusion. Inspiration. Relief. And then anger again.   

He's one of my best friends, he's one of the biggest assholes I know, but he knows his shit.  Take it away, Jonnie Bitch...

I've never had to sit down and actually think about and develop rhetoric to explain why I love Crowbar so much. It's never been a topic of discussion beyond "who is your favorite band?" and when met with "why are they your favorite band?", the answer has always simply been, "because they're the heaviest band on the planet". If you know me, you know I like my music heavy so it only made sense that Crowbar would wear that crown. Having been asked to do this piece, it forced me to sit and really dissect WHY I love these songs so much. As fruity as it may sound, Crowbar is more than just music, lyrics and riffs to me. They harness a certain atmosphere, a distinct emotion. They transcend entertainment in musical form and that is something I have never gotten from any other band. They are poster children for musicians that need to understand that "less is more" when it comes to writing music and songs. It was almost torturous to have to sit and find words to verbalize the emotions/feelings evoked through a Crowbar song, but what follows is my attempt.
