I will never understand the basis of disliking things because they're too generic, The Ramones and creme brulee (more on these later) for example are just that. You see what i'm getting at. That's not to say everything that's generic is good or indeed that things that aren't generic are bad, i'm just saying.
So Jedward are out of the x factor, maybe now people will stop whinging. In my view all they did was sing dreadful songs dreadfully, kinda like a couple of those judges eh.
And by the way, talent is not subjective, if it was, I could very easily say my friend Max was a better guitarist than Jimmy Page. Actually maybe that's what happened, maybe Rihanna's friend approached a record label and said 'hey listen to this, she's better than that Aretha Franklin anyday of the week, get out your cheque book'. The record label obliged. 'No she's talentless, my ears have just being raped, but we'll sign her anyway, very marketable image, John bring out the vocoder'.
More on those creme brulee's now. I think every restaurant in the country should have them on their menu. That is all.
Being academically intelligent does not mean anything, since when did algebra become more vital to our livelihood than being able to cook or change a fuse.
We live in a society of low self-esteem. A problem made worse and in fact fuelled by the amount of things there are to boost it, make-up, plastic surgery, clothes such as the wonderbra, diets, alcohol, religion etc etc.
I think that's it for today. Haha! |

Don't you just hate low fat food, what low fat usually, sorry, always means is low in flavour, shit, soul-less. Don't eat this crap please - low fat cheese, I mean for fuck sake.
Vegetarians:- another load of fools - sorry - who seem to think it's their duty to save the animals. Don't get me wrong, we need to find more 'humane' (though technically there is no humane way to kill something) ways of treating these animals. However it is perfectly human to eat meat, and a hell of a lot more natural than wearing clothes and make-up. And don't tell me it's about evolution, we evolved too fast and that's what created this mess in the first place. Here's an idea though, only eat what you kill, the hunter gatherer, human(e?), natural! |

Next time your parents mention doing things together as a family, tell them to go and fuck themselves, incest is out of the question. I found out today, that this isn't a good idea. It was a joke, seriously.
I'm sick of the amount of people who constantly need to rag on others or have others validate their identity in order to make them feel 'special', shut the fuck up! Oh and by the way, this accounts for us as well by the way.
Isn't it weird that steroids and similar performance enhancing substances are banned from sport, that's kind of like banning drugs and alcohol from rock 'n' roll. Don't believe me, listen to Led Zeppelin. Fuck it, give them drugs, I wanna see how fast Usain Bolt can go, I might even use him instead of a car to escape to Spain next time I feel like robbing a bank. In fact, imagine synchronised swimming on lsd, I might even watch then. Seriously drug addiction and alcoholism are no worse than feasting on cured meats or listening to loud music too much, it's just thao humanly thing of over indulgence fucking things up again. If anything drug abusers are ill and do not need segragating and condemning but instead the same help that someone who is obese or an AIDS sufferer would get. Offer some fucking empathy! No victimisation. No prejudism. No segragation. Everything, yes EVERYTHING should be legal in our world of freedom, providing you do not harm aod therefore damage someone else's freedom.
Rebellion doesn't have to be formulaic, they call it a faux-hawk for a reason. |

Well, well, well. What is it with everyone and their inability to work out the fucking truth. It's not hard you fucking idiots, it's not hard. If you're happy enough to go through life without discovering the truth, without listening to others ideas and without acknowledging others values, fuck off, dig yourself a hole and bury your soulless, emotionless self in it.
I am available for children's parties by the way.
However, on a good note, day off tomorrow, i've got that Dufftown to drink, friends and Bill Hicks, Ed Byrne and Lenny Bruce - a night of satire is on the cards.
P.s. If you think talent is the key to making great art, you're wrong. Passion and honesty are the key, talent is just a valuable foundation. |

These long hours at work are killing me, that's not to say I don't enjoy it, but hellfire. Six day weeks, starting at 4am and finishing at 3pm, just a bit crazy, also making fifteen kilo's of bread a day does the wrists no good. Elsewhere my best friend Adam has earnt a promotion, which is great, though he does have to move 100+ miles away. But that's what teleportation was invented for...oh...wait.
Why does the local off license decide to put Sailor Jerry's and Singleton of Dufftown at half price the week I decide I am going to avoid anything I don't need? Is it wrong that I decided I needed the whisky to heal my sore throat and some chocolate for the earache?!? Perhaps!
Also Mastodon and Converge might tour the UK together - fuck yes!
I sometimes wonder whether the Foo Fighters would be as popular if Dave Grohl wasn't so 'nice'. Or why is Cheryl Cole a 'feminist icon'. Or why I'm deemed to be a 'twat' for not appreciating what those 'brave' (naive and brainwashed you mean) soldiers are doing for us, I'm not the murderer here.
However life is good at the moment. Really good. |

It's just a ride! Life, that is.
You know what annoys me, parents that dress their 4yr old kids in Ramones t-shirts, the same little shits that'll grow up, look back in bemusement and laugh whilst admiring girls aloud and their innovative use of autotune in 10 years time. Girls aloud, that same group of pretentious fuckwits who have spent far too much time sucking the corporate devils cock and selling their souls, if they ever had one.
You know what else annoys me, 'indie' kids, you know those indie kids who are so independent, so long as it's with mummy and daddy's money and know that if and when life get's a little bit difficult, they can escape.
For those of you who think i'm angry, envious and forever pissed at the world, you're wrong. I love life, what I don't like is people who have no sense of purpose, no ambition, no love, no compassion, only fear, condemnation and judgement, sadly that is many people, suffocated in their own mediocrity and boredom.

We are so pathetic as beings. We spend our whole lives convincing ourselves we're fine and dandy by ripping on others, mods and rockers, emos and chavs, middle and lower class, fat and thin, educated and un-educated, man and woman. We spend our whole lives idolising the dead, Heath Ledger, Michael Jackson, Jade Goody, Kurt Cobain, Bill Hicks, Jesus, J F K, etc, etc - just fucking deal with it! We are so pathetic, we spend our whole lives admiring the comedy duo, Mitchell and Webb, David Walliams and Matt Lucas, Cheryl and Ashley Cole, pathetic, that one word pretty much describes humanity, today, sadly, pathetically.
Seriously get off your self righteous fucking high horse, thinking that you're better and fucking deal with it - vegan, straight-edge, pornstar, alcoholic, professional idiot, shut up, I don't care either way, let's have a conversation, see if we get along, if so, then great, if not, it was great meeting you anyway, goodbye. |

This song (mental mania by conflict) reminds me of my Brother so much it's depressing.
Understand this, you might not agree with what they say, do, or stand for. You may just like the music and if that's all that concerns you fair enough. But don't ride along on the back of change, to play to all us caring, staring people. Forget it, we won't be fooled again. If a tune becomes so fucking important, if all that's talked about is notes, chords and bands, when a record becomes rebellion - an alternative to action. An excuse for doing nothing you help them to oppress us. |

Despite popular opinion telling me it's wrong, I actually have nothing against lazy people on benefits, in truth, fair fucking play, take our country and our government for a ride. If you don't someone else will and it's only what the government would do to you anyway. I'm not encouraging you to spend your profits so you can live in luxury, but take them for a ride, give it to a homeless person or a child who's being sexually abused, whatever. It's not what you have or how you get it but what you do with it. I encourage you to lie and steal, seriously, fucking go for it, steal (not the arts) from the corporate bastards at tesco, rob a bank, go on, do it. If I wasn't doing a job I love, i'd be in a band, so I didn't have to work ever again, anyone that refers to being in a band as business or a job needs killing, sorry it's the truth, you executive piece of shit. Go for it, seriously, just use it for good and not your own good else you'd be just like them.
P.s. Don't forget to illegally download Cheryl Cole's new album, it's not worth the cost, use it as a coaster. |

I've had a good day today, I bumped (not literally, obviously) into Martin and Sara, a couple of friends from college. Very pleasing to discover they're still the same people they always were (else I would of being a bit of a spare part) and still a couple after 5yrs. The down side of seeing them is that now and just now, i've realised how shit life is again. I was begining to forget how great and easy college life was and think that it had always been like this. I need to escape and i'm not sure what that is, for now, Frangelico, chocolate, the Clash and 25p will have to do. |

Well, what a weekend. On Friday, I saw Frank Turner - great gig. On Saturday, I got cautioned by the police for walking around with a couple of friends, a couple of acoustic guitars and singing 'this machine kills fascists' during their war weekend celebrations, apparently it was inappropriate, obviously I told them that celebrating the death of others and Polish people drinking German lager during those celebrations was inappropriate, especially within our current climate. Whatever. Yesterday I went to the eastpak antidote tour and it fucking ruled, but I missed the last train, so being me, I went and found some pizza, a bottle of port and kept warm for the night at Manchester train station. I felt like a middle-class, alcoholic homeless guy, haha. |

Haha, I love using livejournal, I get to laugh at the other idiots that use it. That whole paramore and their hardcore roots thing was funny but what was funnier was the use of slipknot as the epitome of heavy. Oh! And by the way, I would also argue that you can hear a hardcore influence within paramore's guitars, though it's subtle in the same vein as black sabbath's influence on cancer bats or fugazi on red hot chili peppers or the ramones on metallica, very subtle but there regardless.
Before that, you have the whole Hayley can't sing due to her laryngitis, use of autotune and generally being Hayley thing in parasecrets. For starters, do you know how many great vocalists from Whitney Houston to Robert Plant have gone on to get vocal nodules and/or laryngitis due to pushing themselves too hard. It has nothing to do with been unable and not knowing how to look after themselves. As for the autotune, I don't hear it, but it's definitely possible due to our age of compression for perfection, however, again this does not mean that she can't sing, Mariah Carey and Christina Aguilera have both used autotune on their latest releases and can definitely sing (though, their music is awful). That secret was so stupid (as am I) that i'm expecting secrets about how Zac can't play the drums next because he has hair or something in that ilk.
In other news I saw a 1980 porsche 911 today, very nice.
Oh and by the way Matt Bellamy can't play the guitar, he just guesses.

Although what have fall out boy and funeral for a friend (whom I actually quite like) got any business releasing greatest hits albums. Whatever the fuck next.
In much worse news, a good friend of mine (the local butcher), has died of a heart attack aged 65. He wasn't just a great butcher with a passion for quality meat but a man of the community and always at the centre of any good rock gig in the area. |

Hahaha! Someone actually approached me in the pub earlier and said that because I was wearing a paramore t-shirt 'You've fallen for mtv's and the governments trap, they're pop-punk/emo shit'. I love people like that, no, really. He was wearing a slipknot tee and his two friends/allies, Marilyn Manson and Limp Bizkit, yeah I know, i've fallen for the trap. In all seriousness though, I honestly believe that it is the people who stereotype bands, emo and people as emo or chav who have fallen for the trap. You see the government tell you they hate emo's and chav's so you think it's bad, but what they really want is to simply divert attention from themselves, and therefore from the truth. Believe me when I tell you that the government and the media, really want these stereotype's to exist, their whole existence relies on them. You wanna know who's really fallen for the trap and who is really a poser, look no further than people who purposefully and snobbishly dislike bands based on popularity and stereotypes. |

People spend most of their time slagging off others and others choices based on uneducated opinions.
Elsewhere, David Cameron has vowed to send more troops to Afghanistan if and when he gets elected. That is not the way forward, if, instead of going to 'war' in the first place, the government had given every family in the UK £100,000, a. The economy would actually be better off and b. Well we wouldn't have killed any innocent people.
We live in a world where we judge people based on credibility yet have no idea what credibility is and should be. We're fucked whether you like it or not. |
