New TRON soundtrack leaked!

Ohhhhhhhhhh! If you are like me and have been waiting to see the remade TRON this is great news. If you are even more like me and have been waiting for the Daft Punk soundtrack to come out, you are in luck. As far as I can tell some of the songs have been leaked. Now you are wondering, "Are they good?, When can I hear them?" Have some patience. I will post a link at the bottom of the page.
Daft Punk have been turning people on to Dance music for years but they have failed to release a new album for quite some time. The TRON soundtrack will be the first batch of new songs in a long time and I am excited for them. Just check out the Trailer and listen to the link I post below. I forgot to mention that this is leaked so you will look cooler to all your friends and that is one more way I am trying to help you out.

(Thanks for TILT mag for letting me know about this leak and the link!)

Leaked Daft Punk Song ReMixed

The Art of the MixTape

Have you ever heard of a Producer? They are great guys who make mixtapes for a living. I do not mean to brag but my tapes are mostly ill and have a dripolicious flow. I can put together so many genres on a single CD and make them evolve over an hour that Creationists begin to believe that Genesis is about Darwin himself. 

I exaggerate.

But really the point is, instead of listening to a crappy playlist on shuffle that you made for working out, why not think about it. Arrange the songs in such a way that you will not skip over all of them just to realize you listened to none and end up wishing you had more music. Better yet try making a romance playlist. One that begins light and encourages close conversation, shifts to appropriate hand holding music then ends in a crescendo worthy of magnificent kisses. 

What I really want to address here is, it is not the music you are listening to, it is the order in which you listen. That is meant to be a metaphor for life. Think about it. Cam'ron did and this is what his life is all about. If only I could be as cool as he is, and drive a stretch Lamborghini Countach.

Evils of Evesdropping

Check it out. We all do it. We are often annoyed by those who do it to us but there is a magnetic fascination to simply toss our ears into a conversation in hopes that it is more interesting than the one we may be directly involved in. I often do it in hopes of being entertained, learning juicy gossip or maybe some insider trading tip which helps me earn massive amounts of cash. The real result ends up being somewhat shameful. Today I listened in on a lady who was addressing a daughter's crisis over the phone. The mother was telling her daughter to keep pushing forward and that she should indeed speak with her father because he was the most trustworthy man on earth. As this conversation was coming to a close a thought crossed my mind. I said to myself,

"I hope this lady is not just pretending. I hope she stays serious after she hangs up the phone."
I do not know why I cared. I was not involved in the conversation and had no idea the context in which the phrases were said but I was going to lose faith in motherhood if she laughed or went back to normal after the phone call was finished.

She hung up and lifted her food to her mouth and smiled. Did not bite the food but instead laughed! Oh what pain entered my heart. What a sigh of disappointment escaped my lips. Passive voice was used. I know it is completely unfounded to feel this way about mothers in general from a single overheard conversation and that is exactly why I advise against eavesdropping. Not to protect others but yourself. You have fragile feelings and more importantly, great expectations in human beings. Listening to other people talk lets you be more critical of how sad your fellow folks can be. It then leads to the inevitable, realizing how imperfect you are.

Spooky Movie Reveiws. #1

It's October, and you know that means we have to watch a scary movie every night until halloween. We just have to, even if it's hard, even if it frikin hurts sometimes, its our job and its gotta get done. Some of the more interesting/good/terrible/nightmarish ones will get reviewed for the blog. Welcome to hell!

Audition

rating- *Cringe* WTF!

This movie will surprise you in more ways then one. You will be surprised by how patiently the directors let the action rise, then whiplash you into climax and disturbing gore. You will be surprised at how amazingly harsh this woman can be, and how misguided. You may be surprised at how much you like it. While not my favorite Korean psycho-thriller I've seen lately (I recommend "Mother", and "Thirst"), it is still very good and entertaining. Prepare to hide your face in your hands, not to block your eyes, but to cover the smile on your face.

Because you don't want your friends to catch you smiling at something this disgusting.

All Labrats go to Heaven.

Today I had an experience with animal liquidation. not normal.

I don't mean some animal store is having a close-out-everything-must-go mega sale, i mean more in the terms of animals being melted down to liquid and pumped into the sewers.

whoa, right?

I took a tour of the new U-STAR bio-research building that will be opening later this year, along with the governor and senators and dignitaries from across the state. Its a state of the art superfuture sci-fi clusterf**k of technology, wrapped in a cubist painting facade and the roaring sound of "100% air exchange, 100%, so you are safe" hepafilters and heat-retaining ventilation systems. Very, very expensive. I assure you.

They test diseases there. Not your common flu, or some other skinny-legged, pimple-faced, picked last for PhysEd basketball nerd-squirts of diseases. These are the real jocks, level-3 wrapped in muscle body builders of Disease High. Im talkin SARS, and Avian Bird Flu, the

heavy hitters.

And they test them on little mice and sheeps and goatsies. I'm really not sure if i mind that, if the end result is a human life saved, or hundreds of thousands, but we have to give some glory to the little guys. So I, on behalf of the Bedfellows and the human race, would like to give a big "Thanks dudes, we really owe you one." and hope there are a lot of delicious food pellets and soft sawdust beds in that great spinning exercise wheel in the sky.

Here is a cartoon I drew about it.----->

Facebook status jacking

The activity known as Facebook status jacking or FSJ is sweeping the nation. The need for attention has engrossed many depressed and misguided kids. It is an epidemic that I intend to raise awareness for. What better way than to hijack facebook statuses and make sure they talk about FSJ.
There are two ways FSJ can be accomplished. The first is easy and it is temporary. It is planting a status by getting on a friends account and writing stupid things in the What's on your mind box. This is easy to do but if the friend does not like the status the friend may erase it, change it, or tell all of his friends that his status was jacked. The much more effective way would be to let your friend conceive the idea in their minds and post it without knowing that you planted the idea. This is done by doing something wild, crazy, fun, nice or sexy and getting your friends to mention it on facebook. I personally will try to hijack 10 peoples statuses by next week. Now is this a lofty goal? Yes. But I have lofty intentions and hope to accomplish it. The conception or inception hijack is worth 10 points whereas the hacker way is only worth 2. So what I am saying is, I hope to win 100 points in seven days playing the FSJ game. Ever since I saw that movie Inception with Leonardo Dicaprio I have been really trying to help people conceive my ideas. I think this is a great form of power. And hopefully I too can one day make a living out of it. Mom said I could be anything when I grow up and that job seems pretty fun and easy.

Fire and Rain a.k.a. The sizzle

Events to not worry about these days would be fire alarms. As Aesop in his simple genius wrote, a boy who cries wolf wins no friends and is hungry in the winter. I think there is a parallel to the modern fire alarm. It simply annoys as it sounds when food burns in the microwave or when the oven smells weird. Then the building is emptied and people wait around. They talk about how annoyed they are and what they wish they could be doing. The situation becomes worse when rain drops laugh on the bystanders or urgency denies time to clothe properly. I mean if it is raining outside the "fire" would obviously be doused and being in a building that resembles a sauna is often a pleasure.

In an attempt to keep G.B. anonymous,
 I distorted his face.

Aesop had wise words about wolf criers and others of that profession. One of whom we will call G.B. I do not want to name anyone who I think violates philisophical principles most basically understood by children and forgotten by lazy adults. This one G.B. has been crying wolf with a twist. One that earns him money. He cries wolf about the economy and promotes moody gold stock. Or when he becomes a political fire alarm. A talking head that craps from his mouth about politicians and corruption while collecting money from poor old folks and simpletons that understand not what his main motives are. He is in it to win it and his book sales would suggest that is exactly what he is doing.
The upside is that people are recognizing the cries for what they are. His latest rally had under ten percent ticket sales and looked exactly like a half hearted attempt at promotion. His TV ratings are dropping and fewer companies want to pay for advertising space during his hour. The very free market that G.B. complains is too government regulated is forcing him off the air and cutting into his coffers.
I will be the first to call his reaction next. "Sour Grapes" Maybe instead of writing books our friend G.B. should start reading. Aesop's Fables would be a good starting point.

The Pack: Wolfpack Party

19th Century Russian Literature: How well read are you?

Books continue to roll out on sheets of cheap paper from dirty publishing houses. These books are considered great if their pages morph into money. Fair enough, since books worth reading were usually in the same category, published as serial installments over time in order to generate readers. The difference between great novels of the past and today is theme. Adult themes today, things that grown-ups would appreciate(?), seem to be dark. When looking for truly dark literature, seek out a book written in between 1900-1950 in Germany. Today themes are composed of homosexuality, rape, dishonesty, abuse and murder.
Old books deal with the same themes except they also deal with the opposite. The focus falls on what is admirable rather than terrible. Take the hero from The Idiot, (Dostoyevsky) Muishkin. He is not perfect yet his purpose is to show readers what a truly decent man would deal with daily in modern society.

One passage that I enjoy is about a third of the way through. The Prince is arguing with himself about one of his "Friends" Rogojin. Rogojin is after the same woman, Nastasia, but for more impure reasons. The Prince argues that Rogojin is not only driven blindly by passion, but he does indeed have a human heart. His heart allows him to love Nastasia as a sister, confidant or lover but is often eclipsed by his lust for money, status and power in society.
The Prince is walking around St. Petersburg thinking of Rogojin and recalling a conversation. Rogojin had said to the Prince, "Your Pity is greater than my Love." The Prince then proceeds to internally argue this point and points out that Rogojin possesses pity or true Christian love for the girl. The Prince than thinks this:

"He remembered how he had suffered that first day when he thought he observed in her the symptoms of madness. He had almost fallen into despair. How could he have lost his hold on her when she ran away from him to Rogojin? He ought to have run after her himself, rather than wait for news as he had done...Rogojin attributes her strangeness to other causes, to passion! What insane jealousy!"

This passage is what I am trying to explain. The depth of the character, his inner struggle and outer complications shine as he contemplates his "friend's" feelings and thoughts. Then he kicks himself for not securing the beautiful Nastasia and saving her from the unbridled danger she pledged herself to. Finally, the passage completes its thought and pities Rogojin, the very man who, in a few pages, attempts to kill the Prince. What a submarine dive of human emotion! The rest of the book is fantastic and culminates in a bittersweet ending that encouraged me to think of my relationships.
Now every time I catch myself thinking frustrated thoughts about people I know I try to complete my thought as the Prince would, with empathy. I also realize I do it for selfish reasons. I want the Karma, the payment in the ever after, the respect and admiration of peers and justification for my judgemental thoughts. I only hope that with practice the selfishness will dissolve and leave me a genuinely decent man. Sometimes I am an Idiot.

Implanted Ideas

I saw the movie Inception this summer. Some people didn't and I may need to clarify. But instead of doing so verbally, I will use a video. Watch the clip below, learn that Inception is about dreams and Ideas and Leo DiCap.


Some people actually liked this movie. Others loved it. Case in point, Nelly. This guy ate the dream idea up and I am going to be the first to point this out. His new music video is 100% Inception inspired. How can that be? Easy. Rappers like Nelly go to the movies in their spare time. Sure they do other things too like play golf, go to clubs, make music and claim to drink Krystal, (though I do not believe that because that beverage is VERY expensive) and even shop at Wal-Mart. Nelly has been participating in these activities lately instead of putting new albums out. Thankfully, this inspired a new song and video from the STL rapper. Watch the music video and tell me it is not an ode to this summer's imaginary blockbuster.

Why your English research paper sucks

I have been hearing about ideas for research projects the past week. Frankly, I am bored of the same old ideas and overdone topics. Are you wondering what topics are way overdone? Maybe you are old and have been out of school for a while or, you are about to do a research paper or better yet, you are only eight years old and reading this blog. Where are your parents?! So here is a list of things not to write about:
Underage drinking. Only people underage write about this and the arguments are weak. Wait a few more years.
Legal Weed. Unless you are addressing the impact legalization of marijuana would have on arable land use in the western united states, pick a new topic.
Flag Burning. I am yawning over this topic because it does not matter.
Gay Marriage. This would be interesting and cutting edge if the paper came out 20 years ago. Now it seems more like a cop out.
Old People. I do not know what one hopes to research on this topic.

Why shouldn't you write about these things? Practical reasons really. Your English teacher has heard these same arguments too many times. You will get a markedly worse grade unless you discover a new cure for aids or economic theory and even then you are scratching for beans in the African desert. The teacher will be so bored they will skim right over the great new discovery and your credit will never come to fruition. Also, if you ever hope to use a professional writing sample to get a job, a paper on the benefits of illicit drug use or economic positives of prostitution will give your resume syphilis. You may think that because Sarah Palin talks about these things on her Twitter page that they are imprtant. Do not fool yourself. I have a feeling that her english grades were not as good as mine are.

I realize that I have worried many of you and shown you how drab your colorful imagination really is. So to apologize I will give a few examples that can earn you an A without any more than a thesis staement.
What really killed the Dinosaurs? Everyone wants to know and you do not need to provide conclusive proof plus, you can put a picture of T-Rex on the cover and your teacher will be too distracted to notice the logical fallicies and ill conceived arguements within the pages.
Brazillian Ethanol and the U.S. tarrifs. This almost sounds like a love story. Everyone loves romance.
Times New Roman as the standard font for assingments. There are books about font design and a reason why Times New Roman is preferred. Find out and I bet your teacher does not know why she requires it.
How Smoking will solve America's debt crisis. This may sound wild but as long as more people in China smoke and become sick, America can hide behind a literal smoke screen of Red Giant cigarettes.

The above ideas will help guide you to a better grade. Papers are easy as long as the system and writer are friends. Remember that and forget about writing on topics the unwashed masses think important.

Mother (2009)

This is a philosophical post. Do not read further if you do not like thinking. PS, It is also a movie review.

Mother (The movie that was made in Korea in the year 2009), is a fantastic focus on the nature of perfect motherhood. The movie itself begins lightheartedly with a few comical scenes but progressively becomes darker. The whole plot revolves around a son who is simple minded, his mother who will do anything for him and a high school girl who sleeps
The movie raised a question in my mind. What is perfect motherhood? To whom can we look and see a paragon of nurture? In nature mothers some mothers stop at nothing to protect their children while others abandon babies to face the challenges of the world alone. What about humans? When should the line be drawn? This movie really made me think about the difficult task of raising beings into this world. around.
The son is egged on after a night of drinking to pursue the high school tramp as a gateway to manhood. The next morning the son is arrested for the young girl's murder. The mother then sets out to prove his innocence. She becomes obsessed with sneaking around and filling in the gaps the police leave vacant. Then twists and turns in the plot create an intricate mystery that kept me guessing until the end when my initial suspicions were confirmed.


Mother raises questions about the purest form of love on this earth, love of a mother for her child. It is love that I had never thought about or questioned until this movie. Now I am stuck thinking about when a mother should disown her child or sacrifice her own life in order to protect the offspring. The dilemma is intense and complex. It is, like most things in life, not black and white but instead a shade of grey. Grey is an uncomfortable color due to its lack of uncertainty. When something so solid as love is painted grey it is an emotional betrayal. Mother describes maternal love as a dangerous beast that must be properly controlled. Otherwise it evolves into a dangerous obsession that affects lives of all involved.


PS. If you were thinking the above painting was Mary Cassatt, you are right. This is a classy blog.

Want to Know What Your Cat is Thinking?

If you guys are like me then you probably do not own a tv and just use your computer for most of your video and television entertainment. And if you spend most of that video viewing time checking out cute cat videos and trying to find a new anime series to watch cause you've already finished two this week then we'd probably get along really well. And I also think that you'll like these next few videos. If not than you'll at least be able to learn a little bit about a cats thought process

First World Problems

I am sick of everyone talking about the Third world. The Third World does not talk about themselves so, why should we. Lets talk about our own problems. You may think the first world does not have problems but let me inform you, we do. Check it,
I go to the Wendy's down the street and have to wait in a huge line for fast food. First World Problem.
Yeah, I have high speed internet at my house, but the router keeps overheating. FWP
My smartphone freezes up sometimes....FWP
All I have to eat are Hot Pockets and Noodles in a bag and I do not want to eat them. FWP
The Grocery Store is 4 blocks away and I do not have a car. How am I going to buy groceries! FWP
There is DRAMA about who kissed who instead of MURDER. FWP
I hate rice casseroles. FWP
There is a party tonight, really there is, and I do not have the proper attire. FWP
This town has way to many police people walking around handing out speeding tickets. I would rather have a deadly child gang running the neighborhood. FWP
Justin Bieber has a new single out, I listened to it instantly and was disappointed. FWP
Obesity at amusement parks. FWP

Those are a few of the issues we need to address in our country before we try and end world hunger (click here for some other peoples FWP). How am I suppose to feel empathy when I have so many frustrations with Technology and food choice in my life. They distract me too much. I gotta go play Starcraft now.

Diamond_Tough Presents: This week's very guilty pleasure #1

Alright, so here is the deal kids, every Sunday I will let the whole world know which truly terrible song I couldn't stop listening to that week... Trust me it goes a little beyond beyond a "guilty" pleasure, it's more like a "downright shameful" pleasure... And what better way to start it off with something that will strip me off any or all indie cred I ever had:

Katy fucking Perry ladies and gentlemen! Like most people I wrote her off after her kissing girls song, but, listen now sir, that was folly. If I kept down that road I would've missed out on two of the greatest things 1) the best shitty pop song ever, 2) the greatest music video ever made....

Now now, what makes a shitty pop song good? Catchy beats that make you look REALLY gay if you listen to in public, being a man of no shame and so secure in his widly explosive heterosexuality I blast this shit for reals, I blow my stereo out on these pop songs. Now now readers, this is momentous, I'll just let you savor it, here you go the greatest song ever invented:


After watching this video, your mind gets blown so hard that you think you are retarded for like a few minutes afterwards, gather your thoughts now son, I speak! I like this jam and if that makes me lame, well... I'm a cool guy you just gotta get to know me that's all... you know?

Love!

Scott Pilgram vs. the World

I have fallen in love. This love is of the media type and slightly homo-erotic. I am in love with Scott Pilgrim. The books, movie, art, story and culture surrounding him is fantastic. I even love the fact that he is from Canada. I think they needed to make an impression on American culture sooner or later. Hopefully they will continue to contribute to global warming in order to make Canada beaches the new tourist destinations and wipe hollywood off the map with quality pop culture. I mean they already have Justin Bieber, K-Os, Of Montreal, the Raptors? Now Scott Pilgrim is going to become the Wayne "Goal Maker" Gretzky of this generation. He will use witty commentary, video game references and dream girls to do so and fight his battles in a surreally better than this world style. But I would like to share a quick review of the books and movie with you in order to help you make an informed choice on how much time to devote to Scott Pilgrim.

Books:

The art is fantastically simple and done in a professional comic style. I once read an interview with the great Bill Watterson and he talked about how comic strips do not utilize the medium any longer. Scott Pilgrim uses the medium and leads me to believe that Canada is half video game, half biography.

The dialogue is witty beyond belief. I laugh nearly every page and then realize that Scott and I have much to laugh about since we are basically the same person. I connect with his terrible struggle to get by as a 20 something and wish there were more literary characters like Scott. He gets me, Hearts.

The characters are great. I feel like I know each one personally. I also hope to meet and date a rollerblade delivery girl soon.

Movie:

Michael Cera, a canadian, surprised me. I loved him in Arrested Development and did not think he could be anyone other than George Michael for me but, he is. He plays a great Scott Pilgrim and I would not have anyone else play the kid. He is just cool enough to say something witty and geeky enough to wear sweatbands as a fashion accessory. Even though I think Zac Efron would have played a better looking Scott Pilgrim. The movie delivers laughs, heartfelt moments, triumph and gay people are represented to make the movie PC. Only problem, there are no cool black people that play a main role. I am not complaining but a hip black kid would have made an awesome boss.Any of these guys would work
Jason Schwartzman also does a great job as Gideon. He is awesome and I hated him so much even though he seems so cool. Hope he wins an Oscar for best supporting actor.

News Flash!! Pokemon never went out of style

My boy Ash is still out catching monsters and putting the ones he likes in his pocket and the other ones in somebody's computer. But a recent surge in pokemon memes has made me laugh and at times, angered me. That places these incredible gems of imagination on the same level of Rick Rolled, Raptor Jesus and Keyboard Cat and they deserve to be held higher. For example, there is a new Pokemon card game out. I am waiting to meet someone to play it with so if you have a deck, I challenge you!

So the new card game is cool, everyone is waiting for Black and White yet peeps are joking on my Prof. Good olde Oak has it hard enough looking after Ash and that red-headed grandson of his. But someone thought that and Oak advice meme would be funny and they were right. Check out the link here. If you do not get the references then you did not play the game.

An old youtube that deals with pokemon. I know and hurt with this man. Watch.

And for all you team rocket fans, some good news. They may have the last laugh. A blog I looked at once had a story about Team rocket taking the ultimate revenge and playing dirty. The link for that story is here.
Now you have it. Plenty of pokemon to choke on. I love these creatures and will continue trying to catch them all. The original ones that is.
Finally, this is the person I pray to at night. I love this game and can get x7 chains often but this guy, this guys romps the puzzle league. Watch it and weep.

He's no Bieber but he's still worth watching

Hi readers, sorry it's been forever. It was a busy summer, plus I just hadn't found anything that I felt like wasting your guys time on until yesterday when I stumbled upon this video while fulfilling my Katy Perry craving. And now that I'm moved, settled into my new apartment, and Apple replaced my computer I should be able to post more.

College Student Skeezin': Part One

I figure that everyone could use a little advice on saving money these days. A fair warning, these tips are not for everyone. Those with pride, self repspect and a strict observance of the law may not agree with some of my money saving tips. Suze Orman would never lead you down this seedy path, but to quote my man Aladdin, "Gotta steal to eat, Gotta eat to live. Tell you all about it when I got the Tiiiiiiiime!" So here we go, first tip/ trick that enables me to save a few dollars during college.

This girl has nothing on me. She probably drives a car, big money waster. Plus her popped collars do not come cheap, trust me, I tried to pick some up and I just could not afford shirts with popped collars.

Meal deals: These can be tricky to discern to the new skeezer as they are geared to be a benefit to the business. It takes smarts and control to dodge the snare of the deal but when one lives in a college town, local businesses often offer student discounts or, discount nights. Now in Logan, Utah there are quite a few of these discounts. For example on Monday nights there is a 2.50 Hamburger and Fries deal at the beehive grill from 3-5. The catch is you need to buy a drink. Cafe Rio does Taco Tuesdays. They offer their over priced tacos for 1.50$ each from 7-10pm. Angie's does a discount after games as long as you bring a ticket stub in. If you wanted to get even more intense then save your fast food receipts. Many places will offer a free sandwich or what ever form of unhealthy food they sell if you call and do a customer satisfaction survey. These things do not take too long and hey, free food.

If saving money on food makes no sense in your brain, listen to P-Tone. He tells it how it is.

I have shared too much information with you today. Wait for the next skeeze post and send your money saving tips to me. Thanks and remember, dumpster diving is ironic and funny if you are in college so Suit up!

Sharing is Caring

Hello, being someone who always crams other people's music down your throat I suppose it is high time I cram MY music down your throat! So here it is the first jam ever created by Prom Night (my project sire) this is called Arms and Eyes, my uneducated friend told me it was scary, perhaps so perhaps....

Download here sir!

oh and here are some adorable pictures me and my girlfrand took last weekend
Love you butterball,

P.S. to my utter dismay some other inactive group of douchebags decided to use the name Prom Night but, do not despair, there is a Prom Night last_fm page, for thy pleasure!
http://www.last.fm/music/Prom+Night
free downloads to come... when I get around to it.

Skram!

Ah! Here is another throw away post where I just post music that I like these days... Or not. Anyways, yeah yeah yeah it's Diamond_Tough here with that flavor that all can savor, do you feel meh? "HELL YEAH"

So here is the situation, you and your homeboy whose is visiting you in Japan from the states are totally just chillin' in your whip and you are like "yo, turn this commercial radio bizshit off mayne, I want something chill but totally not pussy". You look at your boi and totally call Mic up and like, "Yo I need some skramz nigg--- homie."

Skramz, indeed. Listen, there is some argument about whether it's so called kosher or not to refer to screamo (of the er, Ampere type, not whiney butt Senses Fail gayness) as skramz, as most people consider it a joke term and dub you a nerd or n00b if you use it in seriousness. FUCK THAT. Everyone who is a dumb ass refers to any music with screaming in as screamo these days, case in point I was listening to Youth of Today in my car and my so-called friend tells me to "turn that screamo shit off". And yes, YOT are playing Europe and I'd sell my first born to see them, oh my... why did I write about Youth of Today... oh man! oh god! oh man! I'll feel better about it after you watch the greatest music video every made:

I swear to God, next time I see a kid on his stoop eating a burger, I'm totally just gonna shake my head in dismay "NO MORE!"

Anyways, on with the screamo, emo-core, whatever. Like I said, it's rough enough to totally kinda emo mosh to, but soft enough for girls to kinda like too, so let me be your guide, cause I am a taste maker after all!

Suis La Lune

Here is a new jam from these Swedish cuties, this is from there hot to death US tour 7" which is proudly in my collection. So you see, it's totally chill ass vibes but totally emotive and deep shit like that. Think about it now, why wouldn't you want to listen to this all day? In case you aren't convinced, here, have another jam brought to you by youtube and er Warner, they own youtube right?

From the Heirs 10" which, again, I proudly own... Good jamz from skramz bandz man.

Celeste

Alright, here is another pickle you might get into, your friend just got back from his hella chill trip to Europe and he is baggin on you cause you're just such a boring American, you can grab this 12" shove it in his face and say "fuck you man, I listen to French bands". Amen. Some people who are smartasses like the say these guys aren't screamo (you know not the Underoath kinda screamo...) those people are stupid.

Portraits of Past

And here are some of the roots of this ever blossoming (well if you live in Europe I guess...) music scene. I saw these guys play and it was like "what the hell just happened, my mind is blown."

There you have it, yet another post where I couldn't think of anything to write so I just shoved a bunch of youtube linx down your throat and of course any filler post wouldn't be complete without this:

Stay high,

Blog battle on the Interwebs.

This is a declaration of battle on the blog located here. Why am I calling this blog out? They have stolen one too many ideas from me and it is time for them to pay. The question you are naturally asking now is, "How can I help?" Easy. Leave them hate comments. If you are wondering what kind of comment you should leave, I have already done the work for you. I have prepared a clip from my favorite movie, Fast and the Furious 3: Tokyo Drift, that embodies the stupor of thought that overwhelms me when I read above blog. Do not worry if you do not get the joke because I do and it is funny.

That is the video. Watch it and weep with laughter. You also have permission to embed it on the carrot blog. It is a battle and the etiquette follows battle rules.
Happy Destruction.

P.S. The movie The Expendables was great. good ole' Sly Stallone did an awesome job running even though his knees looked like they would give out.
Big Muscle Terry blasted his way through plenty of baddies and Randy "Wrestling Champ" Couture kicks a flaming Stone cold Steve Austin which made up for all the one liners he said which didn't make me laugh. So Action movie that has no good plot but great action stars and tons of explosions and punches equals exactly what it should be in my book. Watch and love it.

Yes, it is Diamond_Tough again, the perpetual exhausted one. Seeing how nobody is lining up and down the block to take a stab at this opened position (such as advertised in the last post), I suppose I'll have to take matters into my own hands like Churchill did during the armed conflict in Vietnam (who won?). So here you go, a new post buddy, let me tell you about cool shit I did these past weeks:

Pictured above is a thing of beauty, the french inhale. It's sorta mysterious, it was invented by Charles Chaplin (some actor go figure) during a smoke break whilst filming one of his movies, the one without sound I presume. And so you may say, "hey Mic, who cares about the french inhale?". I'd say "Listen man it's Diamond and the french inhale is a sexy way to smoke, girls will think you are cool and you read hella books, or they'll probably think you're gay, it's a gamble." A worthy gamble at that this french inhale, but practice is needed. So if you plan on hanging out with the cool kids, peewee, you better wikipedia this shit, buy a pack of smokes and practice til you feel sick... Sum sum summa summa muhdah!

Here is an interesting tidbit, time travel is possible! Some girl at this get together (not quite a party) told me that she has traveled back to 1978, my mind was blown I must confess. I guess if you smoke sooooooooooooooooooooo much pot you too can travel time (keep that in mind). Now if I could travel back in time I would've been the one who knocked M.I.A. up (2007 here I come). I don't think anyone has watched this video in like three years, here, catch up (again):

This just in! Mic reads girly magazines! I found this pic in a magazine, I like it so much I used my powers of google to share it with you. The guy looks like a vampire! It's so gay. I wish it was a handsomer man, then I'd love the picture... In a totally not gay way. As has been said, I have been known to bury my nose in "faggy" magazines, my masculinity is rock solid because of it. Yeah, the whole "he's not like other guys" things girls tell their doubting mother hen friends was invented cause of me (doncha know?). So what's with this tangent? This whole post is a tangent.

Sincerly,
Diamond_"in (lady) friends we lust"_Tough

My Warriors!

Hey, here is a very momentous post, after some discussion
me and Nasty Nate decided it'd be pertinent to take on new contributors (seeing how I'm such a lazy poster). So what does this have to do with you? Well! You, yes you! You can write for Ranged Bedfellows! Seeing how nobody I know can write (they can roll blunts pretty well tho, I'd have to confess and Justin Bieber concurs). So you ask "How? How can I, humble reader, contribute to this majestic blog?" Well, it's simple. Just send a submission of written material to: mikfunkie@hotmail.com, it can be about anything, if I like it I'll discuss it with my homeboy and we'll see if you make, da cut! (does anyone remember that show that used to be on MTV called "da cut"? It used to be hosted by the late Lisa "Lefteye" Lopez of the group TLC, god bless her soul...)

I expect my inbox to be exploded with submission in the next two hours

Yours always,
Diamond_"Left Eye"_Tough

Life is such a "Grind" man...

Hey ho, let's go, it's Diamond_Tough here to give his uneducated yet oddly enlightening opinion on things that he doesn't think you know. Lately we here at Ranged Bedfellows have been sharing with you all musical jamz that we enjoy, but it's all pussy shit! I think we need to celebrate some of my favorite grind bands (wikipedia it, I'm not going to come off as some sorta half assed purist and tell you all about it, cause I dunno I guess Napalm Death was like the first grind band ever, amirite?). And here we go!

MAGRUDERGRIND!

Well, they do have GRIND in their name, plus they tore shit it up when I saw them. I kinda forgot about this band til last night, I was feeling it and decided to tell you all about it. They are a band! They play music! That's all you need to know...

Sore Throat

All their songs are short.

Insect Warfare

The kings of grind, they broke up, it's over dude.

There you go. Decent jamz that would make you sweat a little.
Yours Truly,
Diamond_"I Got the World up my Ass"_Tough

Music Too UnderGround

You are welcome in advance. I am sharing some music that I cannot stop listening to. The best part is that you can download this for free if you like and look cool to all of your friends. Here is how the conversation could go as your friend is looking through your I-Pod.

Friend: I like Band of Horses have you heard of Beach House?
You: No.
Friend: You should check them out. Oh Kid Cudi, cool. How do you feel about Chiddy Bang?
You: Never Heard of them.
Friend: Yeah he is pretty indie. I love the indie music. Who is Deskhop?
You: Oh I thought you were underground. Guess not.

You are welcome. Listen to these tracks and love them.

DESKHOP
Both of these tapes are great. They sound like Girl Talk's Secret Diary album if it would have been cleaner. Much easier to listen to and get down with.
Check out easternization


E-603
This guy just picks my favorite songs and smashes them together in order to produce eargasams. Torn-Up is Great. I have listened to the tracks at least ten times according to ITunes.


HathBanger
This guy would probably be fun to hang out with. His site is full of Jamz made by him and many others. Listen and Love

Great mash-up. It is old but if you have not heard it, you need not tell me.

Check these songs out, be underground and enjoy.

Modern Warfare 2

I know that this game came out years ago but I feel I must now blog about me wasting time. I have been playing this game too much. What else do you need to know? If you ever meet RumpRangr4eal in the match, you are about to get romped on.
I do have a few problems with the game. The graphic are good and you can shoot through the walls just like in real life but, trees are invincible. Nothing penetrates the hardwood of the games trees. Some games I sit and try to fell a few trees on my enemies and to my dismay, I just run out of bullets and appear a bright red dot on the radar. All I can say is that as things get more real, I can be picky about how real they claim to be. I mean when I play super mario three I have no problem with the flying turtles or the walking mushroom baddies. I am not bothered by the quick change mario experiences when he grabs a giant feather, mushroom, star or flower. Poof of smoke and cool eight bit sounds mask it well enough for me.



This brings me to 3D TV. Worst idea. Many of you may be excited by this new technology. Don't be. I have been blessed with the chance to watch a 3D TV and it just looked blurry to me. I thought they were supposed to be high-def and stuff but not the one I watched. The picture blurred in and out of focus. I told the sales guy that his TV sucked and do you know what he tried to do to me? Told me I needed glasses! How rude. I couldn't help but tell him that I was wearing contacts and had an exam just months ago. So, 3D TV you win no awards in my book. If I wanted TV to look like video games I would just play video games and I think that is what I will do now.



This will never happen. Cars won't just come out of your TV into the living room. Car companies wouldn't like that.

Ranged Bedfellows: Home of the Busiest Non-Busy People in Everywhere

Okay so it's been two weeks (sans a silly short missive ) since we have delited you readers with our scintillating tales, I apologize, hopefully this will rectify myself and RG Crew (aka Better-Than-You Crew):
Okay, there, a picture of a clearly stoned Justin B. I should know cause before he took this picture he texted me with this: "Yo wUrr da treez @?" So yeah... He smokes weed... Everyday. Anyways, so I was gonna blog about this fine video that is taking our fair internets by storm:



Then I thought about it, why the hell should I do that? It's pretty self explanatory and hell it's not like I'm just "breaking" this vid, but it's worth being watched if you're too retarded to have happened upon it yourself... Yeah, so the video is clever but really should I blog about this? Nay. I'd be better off writing about all the funny parts in Step Brothers, it's the exact same thing, "Hey man, let's just talk about every funny part in that funny movie we leik!" "Yeah bro".

So I'll just relate to you the greatest tale ever told (by me). Two or three nights ago I was at work and it was boring and my two co-workers (Little A and Butter for the sake of this tale) start wrestling at first I was like "ew gay" but then I started to delite at how Little A was getting choked out (like a bitch if you ask me). Suddenly they break and A comes up to Butter and is like saying he was gonna punch the dude to which I of course encouraged with a few comments on his the way his personal affect corresponded with a certain genitially of... whatever I called him a pussy... Anyways, Little A is pissed and in Butter's face, Butter starts counting to 10 really slow and at 9 I say "fucking ten, do something you pussies!" Wait a bit and then they start grappling each and rolling on the ground and punching each other like sissies, I was laughing of course cause this is one the most pathetic fights ever borne witness to man (myself being the only eye witness), shirts were torn and hair was pulled, the two break apart from their tear fueled homo erotic struggle and stand up on the ground facing each other down and bap! Little A just gets hit in the face and you saw Mic's "O" face (not "Oh" face, but the more like "holy shit, jaw dropped face" don't get it twisted)... Finally I start yelling at them to cut it out before they get into trouble, Little A's face is bleeding and his eyes are red and I was like "whoa dog, clean that up"... Anyways, the end of the tale is that they didn't get fired (though Little A hasn't showed up cause he probably will get pwnd by a million snide comments) and everyone was like... yeah. I was the only winner but also a loser, for I will never again get to see such a pathetic fight unless someone filmed me getting into a fight and showed me later.... Not the most amazing story but it's something to sink yr teeth into until one of the blog's better writers decided to post...

Holla!
Diamond_"Baby Hands"_Tough!

whoa! Damn!

Yo, it's diamond, here with some hot flavor... I've been rocking this jam:

I haven't heard a song this good in so long, so siked!! Love it love it love... Uh that's all I have to say!

Diamond_"wish he was my boyfrand"_Tough

Post Script: What a great Summer song! I must get a little gay for awhile but I get so crushed out on this song, just like it's that enjoyable....

See I like it! ---> http://www.last.fm/user/Diamond_Tough

Return of Da Mack

Hey guys! I got a new charger today for my old ass laptop, above is a picture of Keith Sweat singing "Lick U up and Down" to commemorate this momentous event! Anyways, this is just merely an update tis all. I finally moved out of Carmel and left behind my annoying African room mate (well I guess that sounds racist... But he sucked). Why was my room mate annoying? The reasons are many, here is one example: one night of drunken revelry me and my homies got attacked by a vicious hunger, the only solution was taquitos of course... So here we are, taquitos ready to be created and my dude being bitch made was like "fuck the microwave" all the while my room mate was on his laptop in the common area doing some gay ass Final or writing a paper, probably about the qualities of Singali cinema or wherever he is from... So we argued for awhile and since my room mate just cleaned the oven and he is annoying we had to pan fry the taquitos and it took forever, all the while much merriment and pleasant discourse was exchanged. Suddenly my room mate starts being fussy, "I think you guys are doooooing this on purpose." We stammer and apologize like pussies instead of insisting that I too have a right to the common area, but since my ex room mate is a rather large and imposing figure we instead spent the whole night speaking in hushed whispers, in fear of this large black man's belt and sweaty muscles (oh god)... Anyways, there you go. I now live in a one bedroom on the north side and get to enjoy my common areas (take that as you may) at my leisure.

Hey Ho!

The most American

What does it mean to be American? I thought hard about this as I celebrated the birth of our nation. I thought about the glorious red stripes on our flag as I blasted bottles with a .40 caliber pistol. The blue backdrop to 50 stars came into mind as I shot a golf ball one hundred yards away. Stars were defiantly in my eyes as I explored an underground lava tube. I proudly stood up next to all of the cars in the driveway as I washed them. I walked barefoot in the grass under the shadow of a flag as I thought about everything but the water-supply that sprayed the dry earth shortly there after. For dinner, I went to Little Ceasars, bought a hot and ready birthday cake, came home and watched an over the top action movie. I guess you could say I spent my country's birthday doing everything I could to be Alpha-American. Here are some reasons why I am the most patriotic person in the country.

Listen to this song as you read the rest of the post
I want one tattoo, a bald eagle across my back with red wings and a blue body. It will be holding a gun in one talon and a confederate flag in the other.

I have two stuffed eagles on my wall. I know it is illegal to big brother but I think I should be allowed to worship however I see fit.
I have never heard of french toast, I only know about Texas Toast.
My truck is lifted 20 inches, has a V8, gets 8 miles to the gallon and I added a Calvin figurine on the back that sprays gasoline on any Prius behind me.

I eat hamburgers everyday to ensure that Americans, all the way from farmers to butchers to McDonald's chefs, keep their jobs.
If I am not listening to Glenn Beck than I may be blasting Skynard, Steve Miller or the Goo Goo Dolls but never Zeppelin cause they are from an inferior country.
My kids are named Chevy, He-Man and G.I. Joe. They are all real American Heros.


If you think you are more American than I dare you to prove it in the comments. I predict zero challengers because I am so American that I never lose.
PS: I am an Eagle scout and have oft sat in the Nest.

Hip-Hop Hot

Head bobbin' and leanin' hard ain't easy. These songs will help even the whitest boys swag.

Big Sean: Highrise
The Cool Kids: Flying Kites
J.Cole: Higher

In case you want to learn how to dance the hip-hop style, listen to my girl below.

THIS IS HIP-HOP! from Airwave Ranger on Vimeo.

She is an inspiration to all of those who suffer with poor posture.

Hollywoods Hottest Couple. Did you really think he'd pick you over Miley?

Well I felt the need to post a Bieber entry since it seems like everyone else is doing it, and when I stumbled across this picture it just seemed natural.

I know that most of the female population under the age of 18 is saving them selves for Justin Bieber, 16, but if we had to see him hook up with anyone wouldn't it be his female counter part 17 year-old Miley Cyrus? Well back in February Justin Bieber told Z100 that Miley Cyrus just wasn't his type, but I'm pretty sure this picture says otherwise.

I'm Busy.

Well I haven't posted for awhile so I decided it'd be pertinent to hit you up with some flavor (some hot flavor at that). Not really just saying my charger broke on my shitty laptop and I haven't gotten around to procuring another one. Plus I'm moving out and you know blah blah blah.

P.S. Justin Bieber smoked pot at my house, true story.

Vandalism at its best

I am not one to enjoy the destruction of property unless it is Wal-Mart's. I kid, I kid because it is never ok. But that does not mean it isn't funny at times. Check these pictures out. You will probably laugh at me more than the photos but I could not help myself when I saw these pictures. I have always liked creative mustache and pimple drawing, this takes that in a different direction.



Why are these funny to me? Picture how the deed was done, doing so often leads me to laugh much more than the end result actually does. Look down the lipstick aisle and see a mom checking out sick lipstick shades and her son getting really bored. He then proceeds to look at the models in the ads and think that they would look more like normal people if they had mustaches. He pulls out lipstick, like he has done on many occasions prior, and uses these hyper-made models to create pieces of humor. These entertain him as his mother endlessly cannot decide what make up to purchase and why her skin looks bad with purple or why she is afraid to wear cliche red lipstick. She also became confused at the claims of non-smear and color lock technology like I do when I approach the slurpee machine and am caught off guard by the new flavors. This battle with boredom lead the young boy to entertain himself out of necessity. He realizes that make-up is really for clowns and shouldn't be worn by anyone else. I guess that is why these worldly women now look like circus-men who were decorated by finger-painting kindergartners.
