Tell me it's just a coincidence that the day after we elect our first African American President, McDonalds relaunched the McRib sandwich.

BRMC - The Effects of 333 samples
It's kind of hard to give you a good idea of how bad this stuff is, without your being able to hear even a taste of it. I believe it's within fair use regulations for me to create and distribute 30-second samples of the tracks, since I've already purchased this web-only album (six bucks from http://www.blackrebelmotorcycleclub.com/ ).So, you can download track samples here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WSW2S50X
I've gotta say - I hate when good rock bands go all experimental [see Radiohead]. What the fuck are they thinking?
Get out and vote, muddafukka!
Everyone I know likes to bitch about politics, about how the country is run. My first question for anyone who complains - "didja vote?". I don't care who the fuck you vote for - if you don't/didn't vote, kindly SHUT THE FUCK UP. You have no say. You don't get to comment. You don't count. I mean, yeah... I think you're a ree-tard if you voted for McCain, but at least you gave a fuck.My favorite website this year and four years ago has been http://www.electoral-vote.com/ - they take all the recent polling data and put it on a pretty map.
Their final map of the year puts Obama over McCain, 353 electoral votes to 174. Four years ago, Kerry didn't get even close.
I'll be in front to the tube watching election results all evening. I hope to hell this is decided early. Daddy needs his beauty sleep.
Oh, and I voted for Obama.

BRMC - The Effects of 333
Let me preface my post with this: I loves me some Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Catch their live show, and they're one of the best bands on the circuit today.That said, maybe I'm just not sophisticated enough for their newest release, "The Effects of 333". Released at 3:33am November 1st (in celebration of Dia de los Muertos), 333 is a 10 track ambient soundscape. In some places, particularly the title track - I'm reminded of someone accidentally dialing me from the cellphone in their trouser pocket. Perhaps I'm just not getting it, but I find this album largely unlistenable. Maybe that's why it's a self-release.
From the BRMC website (http://blackrebelmotorcycleclub.com/):
"Released independently of any record company, it will be available as a digital download only through our new music store.We are proud to announce our first release independent of any record company. As our first release through our Abstract Dragon label, this record is exactly that – no lyrics, no apologies, no regrets, just abstract. This has been in the works for the last 3 years at least, on and off the road, in hotel rooms, bus bunks, and back stage."

A Complete History of My Sexual Failures
Digging around the top 100 lists on The Pirate Bay, I came across a film called "A Complete History of My Sexual Failures". It's a must-see for any guy who's ever fucked up a relationship.This movie is reminiscent of "High Fidelity" (where the title character Rob looks up all his old girlfriends). But... it's a documentary. Filmmaker Chris Waitt talks to his exes (and his mom) about his bad luck with women...and his inability to keep a stiffy.
Seriously. Find this. Watch it. You'll thank me. Really.

True Blood
When Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" went silent and the picture went black (Sopranos finale, dumbass), I rang up Comcast and cancelled HBO.Well, that pay-cable mainstay has a new show that may just get me to re-up (rather than just snagging the torrent off The Pirate Bay the day after airing). It's called "True Blood".
It's a vampire drama set in Louisiana (no, not the Anne Rice pussified New Orleans vampires). Vampires have "come out of the coffin" and are a new ethnic minority. This things's all sex and hillbillies and bloodsuckers, tits and teeth, gore and bush, so to speak.
It stars Anna Paquin (Rogue from X-Men) and a cast of mostly unknowns (though Milton from Office Space does play a pretty pathetic dumpy middle-aged gay vampire).
Give it a viewing. It's about 9 episodes in now.
Squirrel Underpants: What the fuck?!
From the "What the fuck?!" department - Squirrel Underpants.Are you sick and tired of squirrels running naked in the trees around your house? Have you had to hide your children’s eyes when a tiny furry streaker crosses the sidewalk in front of you? We’ve got the answer, Squirrel Underpants! Each pair of tiny briefs has a 3" waist and is made of 100% cotton. Also good for hamsters, frogs and gerbils.
With that furry cleavage going on, it looks like the little gal could use a Squirrel Sports Bra as well.
Trent Reznor sez "Vote"
Just found an email from Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor in my inbox:Next Tuesday we will elect the next President of the United States. The result will have great consequences for the nation.
This election offers a choice is between two men with dramatically different visions of the future. We have strong feelings about this choice. But we feel even more strongly that all Americans, regardless of political preference, have a stake in the outcome and should vote in this critical election.
This is likely to be a close election. Your vote matters. Please use it and make a difference.
Sincerely,Trent Reznor
Jesus, Reznor... grow a fucking pair - rather than telling the fans you "have strong feelings", take a fucking stand! I know you're not Bono, but give it a try, ya big pussy!
