The Damned Things

The Damned Things are like a dream come true; Anthrax is one of my all time favorite bands, I love the people and music of Every Time I Die, and I've never heard a Fall Out Boy song that wasn't catchy. Instant win.

IRONICLAST is out now and well worth the money.

Sam Trapkin (Trapped Under Ice)'s "TOP 5 PIT RIFFS"

Who better to dissect "pits" then a man who's seen them all? Trapped Under Ice is my favorite band to come along in the past couple years, and Sam is quickly becoming one of my favorite people. -Doug

Before I begin, I’d like to take a second to talk about something more important than pitting, riffing, or pit riffing. And that is the psychology behind how we put these lists together in the first place. What drives someone to make the choices they make? Often in the face of scrutinizing peers, we struggle to construct a list that might make us sound a little more…well-informed. Like we really know what we’re talking about. Or, maybe worse, we reach for obscure references to avoid the beaten path. To avoid the obvious choices.

This list was not created to impress. We’re talking about pit riffs. This is about getting in the fucking pit. This is not the result of some personal struggle to make people think I know what I’m talking about. Because if you want to jibber jabber about this record, that record, this year, that singer, this city, you obviously don’t fucking pit.

He had the power.

HE-MAN was the greatest thing in my life when I was 7 years old. I couldn't get enough of it....

Another Blade Runner BluRay/DVD/Laserdisc/whatever

This is still happening? Isn't there already like 5 different versions of this movie? ZZZZzzzzzzzz.

MACHETE Slices the Head Off of Thirst

Lipton has lost they damn mind. If you haven't seen MACHETE yet, don't watch this...its basically one huge spoiler.

In the interest of not sounding like a "Brisk" commercial, Brisk tastes like shit. I'll take Arizona Ice Tea's "Arnold Palmer" any day of the week (hint hint, Arizona Ice Tea).

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.
