Rock and Roll Suicide

Rock is officially dead. I got home from the gym today and my mom was watching Rock Star Supernova. This show is nailing the coffin shut on rock and roll. First of all the set asthetic of dark rock clothes, tight pants and dyed black hair is so hackneyed. The judges themselves are so far from relevent or cutting edge that most of them are pobably one step away from golden oldies. Lastly the crowd, Jesus Christ they look so forced like there all getting paid to blindly follow some "rockstar" who hasn't even proven themself with an original song or album. There basically cheering for some corporate schill who is the epitome of Rock and Roll.
Also something that bothered me was the fact that these people are all trying to be a lead singer yet one of them chooses a Talking Heads song to showcase there vocal talent. Are they out of there fucking mind?

Gender rolling with the punches

Today at the office I accidentally almost went into the women's washroom five times. How is this possible you ask? It's because the stairs are right beside the god-damn women's washroom and it's oh so easy to mix the two up. One time I even began to push open the door! Seriously the architect must have been a man hating bitch who's only drive in life is too embarrass men.

Quizno's new Slogan

QUIZNO's

Of Course we think we're better than you!

Now flavored with pretension and added gall

This is the way I see it:

Subway = proletariat

Quizno's = bourgeoisie

Hung up...

So I had this dream I was at a Madonna concert, not that I particularly like her or her music but the person I was with seemed to like her, so I feigned an interest. Anyway I got bored during the concert and decided to start reading my book, when all of a sudden Madonna comes off the stage and grabs my Kurt Vonnegut book, gives me a pissy look and signs the inner cover. I was disgusted, my book was ruined.

On a minor note I started my job today.

Back in Black

Guess who's coming to Calgary? Frank Black! I was so suprised, I found out in a news paper article, it was basically about the Dixie Chicks, but in the last paragraph it said he was coming. I'm so anxious, I wonder what he's going to play? How much of his back catalogue? Old Catholics stuff, maybe even Pixies material? who knows.

War what is it good for?

Absolutely Nothing? In my quest to be as pragmatic as possible I came up with a list of things that war could, indeed, be considered good for:
1) Wealth redistribution
2) Darwinian improvment on societal population
3) Population stabalization
4) Increased technical innovation

But can YOU treat it like an oil well?

Apparently Stephen Colbert is at war with Wikipedia. I've gone totally swiss on this, neutral baby. I'm really pragmatic, sure Wikipedia has the possibility of creating a disstored reality and a tyranny of the majority, but it's also a very efficient system for distributing information creating a limitless amount of information that is also entirely free. It's difficult to choose sides in the conflict... Well at least it's more interesting than that Lebanon war, that's soo yesterday.
Living in my air conditioned world I feel like I'm once removed from reality... is it really that hot? I'm somewhat skeptical. I might leave my house to find out, maybe.
I also hear according to many news sites that Armegedon is comming, what's wrong! Is the catholic church low on numbers? I guess this is a good time for recruitment, there are plenty of wars going around, it's apparently really hot and the networks aren't going to pass up a sweet chance for some fear mongering.

The Four Horseman

Me at my most Silver Anti-Semitic

Yes the Silver Jews, I'm fine with real jews but not the band. Sure I've never heard any of their songs and I'm pretty sure that also makes me ignorant, but I can't handle Stephen Malkmus waisting his time on a college experiment - vanity project. I just want a Pavement only world, not one controlled by Silver Jews. Pavement POWER!

Jesus "Passion of the" Christ, I am beggining to sound like MEL GIBSON!

And Moscow girls make me sing and shout

My admiration for microsoft is much like the old Russian widows reminiscing of Stalinist Russia. I mean sure Microsofts Iron grip on operating systems paralleled that of Stalin's reign in much more ways than I feel comfortable describing. But for all of Microsoft's purging and shady coercion, they had their "5 year" plans and turned there system into an accessible and capable system much like Stalin turned Russia into an industrialized nation. My purchasing an I-Pod is much like the Russians purchasing levis jeans as the whole communism thing started to fall apart, sure it's a betrayal but come on how could I not? it's not the same motherland I suffered for.

In other news I am in love with Feist, both as a musician and a woman, she isn't Hollywood pretty, but she's reality pretty, and I'm not a prize pony myself. I could see myself helping the kids out of their coats... but wait the babies haven't been born. Her music is both hip and innovative and her voice is haunting and sublime, wowee zowee.
