Who's celebrating??

I was in the grocery store today and I saw a magazine "celebrating" Ten years of "The Phantom Menace" I thought to myself "Really? it's been that long?" and what magazine would celebrate that piece of shit" turned out to be "Star Wars insider" so they might be a little biased.
Yup it's been ten llllooonnnggg years since we first heared of Jar Jar Binks, midilcloriens, pod racing and learned that whining voices were a family trait in the Skywalker family.

I remember being so excited for the prequels, being a huge Star Wars fan this is what we had all been waiting for. The story of the rise of the Empire, a glimpse into the legendary Clone wars and most importantly the birth of the "Blackest brother in the galaxy". what we got was, in looking back now mind you. was the WORST movie of the Star Wars family. I wonder if people that work for Lucasfilm even acknowledge this movie? or just speak of it in hushed tones quickly changing the subject when George walks by.

Sure it had it's high points, Pod racing, Darth Maul, and the great Ewan McGregor channleing Sir Alec Guiness. But those do not out weight having the whole idea of the force turned on it's head by the introduction of midicloriens, The Jesus/messiah factor of young Anakins birth, the fact that he flys a starfighter and takes out a space station...at 8 years old, horrible/cheesy dialogue, Jar Jar fucking Binks and ..YIPPEE!

Celebrate not my friends...this was the beginning of the end, Revenge of the Sith started making up for the past transgressions of the series but it was to little too late..especially with "NNNOOOOOOO!!" and Dying of a broken heart but thats another story.

fucking YIPPEE!....

I think this is the first time...

So when it comes to downloading music, I don't do it very often, i would say that I am a minimal user of the downloading services.I would say that I use the downloading services as much as a person uses in good judgment in buying a Nickelback cd..But I digress..
If there is something I really want to hear , like a new release, I generally wait. I go into the den of temptation that is the local Best Buy(or Future Shop or HMV) and pick up said new release on the day it comes out, unwrap it slip it into the cd player in the car and go for a drive
. This changed this week. For the first time ever, I am going to give you an opinion on a disc that comes out next week as for the last few days i ahve been listening to the new EMINEM album RELAPSE. Now I don't listen to alot of the rap or hip-hop anymore save for the Kanye and some K-os it seems to me the hip-hop/Rap world has disintegrated into a genre killing soup of unoriginality that Timbaland does the re-mix for, and T-pain sings the hook.

Truth be told the music industry needed a new Eminem album. He is arguably the best rapper on the planet. You never know what he's going to say, you might not agree with it but you want to hear what he has to say. He will attack anyone, pick on anyone and has a knack for making his albums a great mix of the fun songs like "Without Me", "My name is" and the newest single "We made You", but also have the serious side with songs like "Stan", "Mosh", "Till the music stops" and in my opinion "The Marshall Mathers LP" and "The Eminem Show" are genius albums.

Relapse however tries hard to live up to those albums, and I think so many people are looking forward to this album that it's really not going to live up to any of the expectations. I am not saying it's a bad album at all, but it has some big shoes to fill. I think the album if listened to in sequence makes much more sense than n shuffle in the ipod.But on repeated listening this albums is pretty darn good. I think people that buy the album for the single" We made You and "Crack a bottle" won't like the whole thing, but people that can look past those songs will find the heart of the album. He seems to be tring to be innovative, songs like "Beautiful" are right up there with some of his best songs like "Lose Yourself", it is a true Highlight of the album. Dr.Dre produces most of the album and this is always a good thing. Dre and Eminem make a powerful team on the "boards" as they say and in the studio together. "Crack a bottle is proof of that.

I guess my long as ramble of opinions here come down to the fact that yes this is a good album, yes Eminem iss in good form, it has it's wide appeal songs and I think that you should go and listen to it if you liked anything he has done in the past, but it makes you appreciate the genius that were "The Mashall Mathers Lp and "The Eminem show".

Kings of The SUCK!!

I don't ask for much in life. But I think I know what I want for my Birthday! I want the Followill's(The Kings Of Leon-The Future saviours of rock) to off Chad Kroeger. Now normally I just want some one to do this for no reason except that I hate Nickelback(in case you didn't know. But now someone has a reason. Caleb Followill should just walk right up and kick the shit out of those guys in Nickelback for this travesty of a cover. There should be rules. Crappy bands(Nickelback) cannot cover Bands more talented than themselves(The Kings of Leon)


Please Follwill family...do me this one thing and just take them out already...they deserve it for this.
