Song/Band of the Something!

Since I obviously can't keep a schedule, I'll just do a song whenever I can:

 

 

 I dont want to fight, every single night
Everything I want is in your lies
You and me go back, to places I don't know to care
The spoils of all I got were left as scraps
Don't let me say this, but you're no worse than me, too crazy

The unreal, real never was, just because
The ugly, feel we've had enough
The unbelief, someone gave us up

I wanna be there when you're happy
I wanna love you when you're sad
Can't stand the morning rain
Get out I'll take your place then
Can't stand the blazing sun
Close your eyes you'll see, the angel dies

I don't wanna be, anything believes
A million watts of sound can't compare
Come along you'll see the world
Impulse removes, the crowd unclosed, the chorus starts to flow and then you're
home
Oh is the White House all they want?
I'll sing for...

The unreal, real never was, just because
The ugly, every living soul
The oh so real, someone gave us up

Don't break the oath
I wanna love you when you're happy
Don't break the soul
I wanna be there when you're sad
Withstand the pouring rain

The unreal, as real as any loss, too easy now
The unreal in every living soul
Dumb day now

Can't stand the blazing sun
Can't stand the morning rain
Ah get out I'll take your place ... again
I don't wanna be alone
I don't wanna be alone
I dont wanna be alone - no

If its the White House all they want,
Black house they'll get

Tarantula by Smashing Pumpkins (Band of the Day)

 

This is brand new, and an amazing comeback song for that band (Elmis is gonna know it ;))

Second Thoughts

I've been thinking about buying the DS-1 Distortion pedal, and I was tyhinking to upgrade.  I was going to return the adaptor and pedal, and buy the DS2 Turbo Distortion Pedal.  I'm not sure, but the adaptor actually isn't working, so I wouldn't be at a loss (actually, I would, $16, but that's nothing).  I don't know, but I might.

Score!

Bought my DS1 Boss distortion pedal today.  The person tricked me into buying a $25 A/C Adaptor as well and I'm pissed at him :evil: (well, not really I could have asked him :)).  Anyway, It's great, making it easier to switch between clean/distortion.

Return To Songs of The Day!

lSorry, I didn't have time to do a song of the day or a while, but here's two very new songs, from the same album,  that aren't even out yet, but you can guess the titles probably

Amid the heat and the wrack
Hot boots invested and cracked
Poor candidates jacked into gray light
An ultraviolent call summoning both poet and thrall
Sweet catalyst for the acolytes
Our Heroes and Martyrs
present two points of view
Which deity you're praying to?
What's the sense of heroes & martyrs?
Into a welter of night
Flack, rounds and roiling blight
Cracked vertebrates stacked by the wayside
An ultraviolent call summoning both poet and thrall
The inveterate blind seeking daylight
Our Heroes and Martyrs
present two points of view
Which deity you're praying to
What's the sense of heroes & martyrs?

Heroes & Martyrs   By Bad Religion  From the album "New Maps of Hell"

 

Now get up and give in I'll crack your knuckles again
Supplicate and survive this transubstantiation
And get so mean - I want to know what it means

(Did you laugh?) You know I did
(Did you cry?) I couldn't get it right
(Did you live?) Always on the edge
(Did you lie?) Causing such a fright
(Did you love?) Oh to be forgiven
(Did you try?) But it wouldn't be right
God it feels like an honest goodbye

Whoa ho ooh whoa ooh whoa ooh whoa

That sick brass boy day dreamin' - cry baby convict demon Hands so clean - A sympathetic cold blooded killing machine
How did you get so mean? - I want to know what it means...

(Did you laugh?) You know I did
(Did you cry?) I couldn't get it right
(Did you live?) Always on the edge
(Did you lie?) Causing such a fright
(Did you love?) Oh to be forgiven
(Did you try?) But it wouldn't be right
God it feels like an honest goodbye

Honest Goodbye   By Bad Religion  From the album "New Maps of Hell" 

 

Money Issues

I seriously wanna buy a Boss DS1 Distortion Pedal.  I also wanna buy a JH3S Jimi Hendrix Octave Fuzz Distortion Pedal.  However, I don't want to spend so much money in the month my birthday's coming up.  I hope I strike rich on money for my birthday.  In the mean time, I think I'll dig up those f a g g y Green Day records from 3 years ago and sell 'em to some moron on eBay.  BTW, I have 14, and I'm sure that's worth a pretty $250 to those people with terrible taste :P!  This gives me an idea:

GET RICH FAST SCHEME:

WHENEVER SOME NEW BAND THAT LOKS LIKE ONE OF THOSE TERRIBLE BANDS, THAT'S GOING TO BECOME POPULAR (YOU KNOW WHO I'M TALKING ABOUT (cough:mcr:cough), BUY EVERY POSSIBLE ALBUM BY THEM.  WAIT UNTIL THEY BECOME SELL-OUTS, AND SELL ALL THEIR ALBUMS ON eBay!  It's fool-proof!  Because everybody knows the law of music:

Sell-out=popular

Non-sell-out=good or better, but not always popular

So do what I did, and invest.  It's like buying stock in bands, except you wish they wouldn't do well, but you know they do!  Remember to search for super-rare imports for cheap, and sell 'em back for more.  I could possibly make almost $300 of this within this month!  So take my advice!

New Signature

Two of my userbars disappeared, and an image popped up that caused my signature to go beond restricitions, and it was deleted.  However, I have a new signature, that looks cooler.  Here it is:

It's Almost My Birthday!!!

Come May 19th, it will be my birthday!!!  I already know two things I'm getting.  They're the biggest presents (or should I say, great presents) I'll get.  Let me tell you, I scored.  Here's what I'm getting.

Gateway FPD2275W 22" Widescreen High-Definition LCD Flat-Panel Display

 This is going to be my new TV screen and mainly computer screen.  It's hugely bigger than my computer, and my TV, and has TV hook ups.  It'll be so sweet!

Sonic Impact Portable LCD/Speaker system with Remote for iPod

This little iPod player can play the videos off an iPod Video.  With this my birthday will be sweet!

Looks like a good year for me :D!!!

 

Hillel Slovak

There's something I missed while my internet was down for about a month (I used other people's computers occasionally).  This was Hillel Slovak's birthday, April 13th.

For those who don't know, Hillel was the original guitarist of Red Hot Chili Peppers, who many know is by far my favorite band.  He pioneered the well-known RHCP sound, and inspired John Frusciante, the current guitarist.  He had been born on April 13, 1962, and this year, was his 45th birthday.  He died at the young age of 26 from a heroin overdose. 

In his short life, he managed to achieve so much.  He created one of the most unique sounds I've ever heard.  Hillel showed the world that not everything has to be complex.  You can just have straight forward, simple guitar, and get something great.  I don't want this great man to ever be forgotten. so I will honor him.

 

HILLEL SLOVAK

Inspiration to me, and many others.  You will never be forgotten. 

1962-1988

ALTHOUGH YOU ARE GONE, YOUR SOUL LIVES ON.

And to finish this tribute, two songs dedicated to Hillel, by Anthony Kiedis:

"Knock Me Down"

Never too soon to be through
Being cool too much too soon
Too much for me too much for you
You're gonna loose in time
Every turn looking to burn
Some never learn live and learn
Stop your searching for a curse
Before you end up in a hearse
Don't be afraid to show your friends
That you hurt inside inside
Pain's part of life don't hide behind your false pride
It's a lie your lie
Don't slip away and don't forget
I'll give you more than you can get
It's so lonely when you don't even know
Yourself come to me
If you see me getting mighty
If you see me getting high
Knock me down
I'm not bigger than life
I'm tired of being untouchable
I'm not above the love
I'm part of you and you're part of me
Why did you go away
Too late to tell you how i feel
I want you back but i get real
Can you hear my falling tears
Making rain where you lay
Finding what you're looking for
Can end up being such a bore
I pray for you most every day
My love's with you now fly away
If you see me getting mighty
If you see me  high
Knock me down
I'm not bigger than life
It's so lonely when you don't even know yourself

And the last song

"My Lovely Man"

I used to shout
Across the room to you
And you'd come dancin'
Like a fool
Shuffle step
You funky mother
Come to me
All warm as covers

Rest with me
My lovely brother
For you see
There is no other
Memory so sad and sweet
I'll see you soon
Save me a seat

Well I'm cryin'
Now my lovely man
Yes I'm cryin'
Now and no one can
Ever fill the
The hole you left my man
I'll see you later
My lovely man if I can

In my room
I'm all alone
Waiting for you
To get home

Listen to Roberta Flack
But I know you won't come back

Well I'm cryin'
Now my lovely man
Yes I'm cryin'
Now and no one can
Ever fill the
The hole you left my man
I'll see you later
My lovely man if I can

Just in case
You never knew
I miss you sum

I love you too
See my heart
It's black and blue
When I die
I will find you
 

Well I'm cryin'
Now my lovely man
Yes I'm cryin'
Now and no one can
Ever fill the
The hole you left my man
I'll see you later
My lovely man if I can

So next time you here a Red Hot Chili Peppers song on the radio, think of the man who created that sound, and never saw how great his music truly was.

"I have beautiful images of him in my head all the time.  He showed me what rock music was."

-Anthony Kiedis, bandmate, true friend
