Drugs, booz, smokes, money, whores & the VMA's.

Alcohol - Millionaires

Tonight is MTV's Video Music Award show. To be frank, I wouldn't have known that if my wife wasn't watching. Considering I have a website dedicated to horrible music and the VMA's is Mecca for horrid, brain-freezing asinine BS I should be watching but I don't see the point. What can I learn that I don't already know? Besides, I wish not to vomit anymore than what is necessary.

So, to frame the entire show into a three minute music video, I feel this will suffice. This is from the 2008 album titled "Bling Bling Bling!" of an 'Internet popular' group of emo kids. Yeah, they've kind of got a theme that shouldn't be too hard for most people to grasp: materialism and whoreish popularity. Yeah, it fits quite well with everything spewing from MTV, right?

(Don't misunderstand me: I'm a capitalist through and through but I think this is why the terrorists hate us.)

Ironbound - Einherjer

The old-school metal-head in me finds this pretty awesome. Especially after reading the description of this band as "Viking Metal". That within itself is pure awesome!

But anyway, by metal standards this is pretty asinine and simplistic. Also the Korn-style growl lyrics has become old and over done. However, I'd love to see more done with the "Viking Metal" style. I find it an awesome idea. Maybe Sigur Rós can give it a try: for sure their style of pop isn't working out.
