Thursday, February 18th, 2010John Mayer, PIW & Me
Sunday, February 14th, 2010I heard bout the Mayer scandal awhile back, but didn’t bother talking about it till my friend mentioned it on facebook. And even then, I kinda felt like addressing it would be waste of time… I felt like I’ve been down this road before…
J Smooth lays it down—word for word—as to why I stopped REACTing to this kinda stuff. Man, I been slippin on illdoctrine for awhile now… gotta re-up. You should too.
PS: PIW = Possessive Investment in Whiteness. Check it.
PPS: Dunno if it’s a stunt, but illdoctrine (AND rappersiknow. WTF) is dead. I dunno, I’ve been immune to dumb ass “We Are/Heal the World” remakes since the last one. Long live Nildoctrine?
PPPS: Kinda unfair, and perhaps I shouldn’t bring this up but, I can’t help to wonder: Why wasn’t there a We Are the World for the South Asia disasters awhile back? (And everything else shitty that happens). So much for the internet making us a global community. “We” still cater to the neighbors… Ok, I’m done.

Björk got this house as a present from Iceland for being so dope. I bet they want it back now.
I bet they want it back real bad.

Genetically Co-evolved: The Elephant & The Ghetto Blaster
[pic via Brock Davis]
Progressive Rock.
King Crimson, Rush, Genesis.
These are the bands with pictures over the definition of “Pretense“, one of the worst offenses of Douchebags everywhere. I mean, I can take some proggy songs, some of the time, but when some frat boy plunks $5 into the jukebox, I pray that we aren’t in store for 80 minutes of rock opera crooning and over the top drum solos.
Prog Rock is one thing, but I am not ashamed to admit: Pink Floyd… is a great band. Ever since I was first enthralled by “Time”, and the rest of Dark Side of the Moon (the pinnacle of stoner rock)1, The Wall (We Don’t Need No Education), both super selling mega classic rock blockbusters. [[1]]Anyone remember chillin’ out after the party, sleepin’ in the back of the truck, buzzed and cold, but happy to be among friends, underneath the starry, starry night?[[1]] Although DSotM will always be my first and favorite, my really close second is not “The Wall”, but “Animals”.
Pink Floyd’s tribute to George Orwell’s story, “Animal Farm”, this album has a short, but sweet tracklist:
- Pigs on the Wing, Pt. 1 (1:25)
- Dogs (17:08)
- Pigs (Three Different Ones) (11:28)
- Sheep (10:20)
- Pigs on the Wing, Pt. 2 (1:25)
Songs there are few, but each of the 4 animals get over 10 minutes of haunting singing and guitar solos. Sung from the perspective of the animals, songwriters Roger Waters and David Gilmour imbue each animal with a negative trait. Waters—the mastermind behind the spiral of despair that is The Wall—wrote all of the songs except one.

1. Although I gotta admit, you get your band for your buck with the 10 min+ songs. ↑
