Thoughts from an internet rando:

My biggest memory of Crazy Town will always be from an MTV special about OzzFest. They dedicated a few minutes to dunking on Crazy Town, who got kicked off the tour for being disruptive. They cut to Crazy Town’s set, Shifty is trying to get the crowd going, and they’re just having none of it. Two soundbites that stick…

I would have disagreed with your initial statement, but phrasing it as “died 30 years earlier than expected” is a good justification.

Sadly, the only shocking part of hearing he was found dead in his home is that Shifty Shellshock was a homeowner.

Smart devices and the internet killed print and decentralized journalism. Late stage capitalism forced online journalism to chase clicks instead of report news.  We now live in a world where 99.9% of the “news” is all bias, click bait, outrage reporting across the board.  Its a fucking mess and depressing

Buncha fuckin’ neckbeards in Silicon Valley decided to put their hacker ethos bullshit on news, and also that - surprise! - the only thing of value in journalism was the thing they happened to be selling. 

The issue seems to be that so many of her fans apparently believe that they have a deep and personal relationship with Taylor Swift when, obviously, they don’t. So it’s like someone is attacking a close and dear friend who needs to be defended by her besties! 

I am not unconvinced that Mary Kate Carr is just Barsanti in drag. 

“Basically, until society accepts that journalism isn’t much of a moneymaker and stops trying to milk it for cheap clicks”

The tone of this piece is bleak. And accurate. 

Thank fuck.

omg it’s almost as if two heterosexual people of the opposite gender can be friends without it becoming romantic! i know, i know, Hollywood doesn’t usually understand human behaviour so we shouldn’t expect too much.

That exactly.  I’m a fan of a band because I like the music, the only people in bands I actually care about are my friends that are in bands.  I don’t know the guys in Goose(I met Pete’s aunt and grandma tho) and I really don’t care about them beyond the general ‘They’re people so I care about them’ feeling, as long…

I remember seeing a clip of a grown woman at a show crying. I can’t imagine living a life so sad that seeing your favorite singer up close makes you a blubbering mess, and my life is really, really sad.

It’s amazing that the fandom of Swift, one of the most popular, rich, and powerful people in pop-culture, relies almost entirely on seeing her as a victim or at least constantly in danger of being victimized. 

I suppose, since it’s in the context of more efficient energy use anyway, we could fuck it off into the cold depths of Jupiter instead.  But otherwise agreed.

Just heard on the radio yesterday that one of the weirdest things about the whole Branch Davidian shenanigans was that the guy who blew the whole thing wide open (metaphorically; the guys who blew the whole thing open literally were the geniuses at the ATF) was an Australian, an ex-lieutenant of Koresh’s who was kinda…

Hehe, I was looking for this. Prost! *belch, pulls own plug*

I know he’s been in a ton of stuff, but every time I hear his name I think of Some Kind of Wonderful.

I will never forgive Elias Koteas for what he did to Bullet in season 3 of The Killing
