From Pink's Lips to...eeeww, Sorry for that Image!


For the past few years, an unexplainable phenomenon named Pink has polluted radio and TV with pseudo-rock drivel that only a brain-dead MTV zombie could love. Pink has somehow garnered the image of a tough rock chick. Did anyone catch her absurd VMA performance? Oooh, so scary. Pardon me, but this "women" (someone check her XY's please) makes fellow poseur Avril Lavigne seem edgy by comparison. So why waste valuable time writing about this wannabe? She's now decided the world would benefit by listening to her political views - specifically on the subject of Sara Palin. Yes, we now get this fool spouting off on the horrors of potential VP Palin. This from an "artists' who enjoys ridiculing the Jessica Simpsons of the world. Note to Pink - you are a "Jessica Simpson"! Trust me, Ms. (Mr.?) Pink, your shitty "music" has already inflicted more intellectual damage on America's culture than fellow socialists/entertainers Against Me!, Anti-Flag and NOFX combined. At least they rock, a concept apparently foreign to you. So please spare us your political words of wisdom, and while your at it, spare us that crap you (and MTV) call music. Being an American gives you the right to speak your mind, it doesn't guarantee you actually have a mind.

The Numbers Are In - And The Winner Is...


I'm talking about Soundscan album sales, of course. I paid attention this week with the hope that Underoath's latest, Lost in the Sound of Separation would become the first metalcore/post-hardcore album to reach #1. Afterall, only Nelly Furtado kept UO's last effort, Define the Great Line, from reaching the top spot. Drum roll please...NOPE! Not even close. The easy winner was Young Jeezy's latest, a clear example of America's ever-growing musical conservatism (thanks MTV, you suck fucking ass). Even worse? The New Kids on the Block came in at Number Two. You heard correctly - NKOTB topped Underoath! This country wants change? Let's start with our musical choices and go from there. Actually, LITSOS came in sixth, behind The Game, Kid Rock (can someone please explain this guy's success), and Slipknot as well. Well, enjoy your Jeezy and New Kids, I'm still gonna rock...pussies...
