I LOVE EVIL.

It takes a profoundly life altering experience to make to make a person change their entire belief system. I had that experience last night at Evil Dead- The Musical. Like any average white male Canadian who was baptized in a United Church in small town Ontario, I used to believe in the inherent goodness of mankind. I used to believe in the glory of a higher power. I used to believe in the all enveloping love of a divine deity whose son sacrificed himself for our sins and has 14% alcohol, red wine blood.
Now, I just believe in EVIL.
It just looks way more fun. Evil Dead-The Musical is hilarious replete with the characters, campiness, sarcasm, blood and demons from the movies of the same name that inspired it. The dialogue/ lyrics that poke fun at the stereotypes of the horror movie genre are bang on and side-splittingly, gut wrenchingly, chainsaw-to-the-brain funny. It makes a horrific quadruple homicide in a lonely cabin in the woods seem like a really good time! And what's wrong with that?! Nothing.
I'm totally on board! I'm into fake blood as a fashion statement! Give me the entire Marilyn Manson music catalogue! Buy me a Ouija board for my birthday, because EVIL is here to sta....
Wait. What the fuck was that?

I Spy Vanilla Ice... In A South African Beer Commercial.

I bet celebrities miss the days where they could hop on a plane, get paid a ton of money to appear in a random countries shameless ad campaign and have no one be the wiser back home.

Those days are over,"Santori Times", over but I don't think any has told Vanilla Ice that the jig is up.

Check out this new beer commercial he just did in South Africa.



On the other hand - money is money. And unless they paid him in beer (still not bad), I say ride that "Ice Ice" pony into the ground until children cry immediately at the sound of it

Here are some more celebrity overseas ads to make you giggle

Dragonette



It's hard not to love Martina Sorbara and the catchy-as-fuck songs of her band, Dragonette. They rocked Venue last night to the right kind of crowd: the kind that likes to sip a Bacardi and cola and shake its collective ass. They opened up with "I Get Around", their first single and probably still my favourite song of theirs, and took it from there. It was an early show, a fine way to kick off my debaucherous weekend.

Gripe and HYPE!!



Gripe.
Peanut allergies. WTF. Why is everyone allergic to peanuts these days? When did we all become such pussies? I want to eat my PB & J on the bus without worrying about killing someone. The human race is breeding itself into a bunch of skinny fingered, antibacterial freak shows. It's time to build up our tolerance! Go lick a doorknob, scrub yourself down with a urinal cake and quit your whining. Buy a bow and arrow and kill an animal then roast it on a fire and wear its pelt. Squirrels eat nuts okay? SQUIRRELS. I don't want to lose out the evolutionary battle to cute, fluffy-tailed rodents.


HYPE!

Gastro Intestinal Problems

It sounds bad, but at least your not collecting the calories of that shit piece of mega bite you ate last night. Even if you don't have mud butt, it's the hottest office excuse of 2009. I don't know any bosses that are going to dig too deep into your excuse of spraying dirt.

The best show on TV

I love the show Ice Road Truckers. Maybe it's because I lived in Inuvik NWT when I was 8 years old and I'm slightly nostalgic for the Great White North. Maybe it's simply because watching these people battle -50 degrees Celsius while hauling tons of equipment on frozen water and seeing their friends get eaten by polar bears and fall through the ice is gripping TV!!!

This is my favourite song


right now, this song, it's just fucking unbelievable. I've listened to it on repeat, just lying on my floor, full of Mr. Noodles and 5 cent candies, I can't get enough. Just download it and listen to it 50 times, you won't regret it.

I love The XX, it's my new doing everything theme band. Everything from making sweet love to vacuuming, trust me.

Sarah Silverman: End World Hunger

Sarah Silverman may or may not be your cup of crazy but I like how this girl rolls.

Sometimes. Sometimes...eh...not so much. Actually, not at all.

But this time yes. What's her solution?



The video aired on Bill Maher a few days ago and has left people talking about not only this video but the actual important topic behind the satire.

Mission accomplished.

Daily Show vs. CNN

Hey CNN! Do your due diligence when fact checking real news stories instead of SNL skits.

International NO KANYE DAY


Are you sick of hearing about Kanye? Are you sick of Kanye jokes? Interruptions played off as a bad Kanye impersonation? If you, like me are getting annoyed by even typing his name then please join me on international NO KANYE DAY. Where we simply just live our lives and appreciate the millions of other idiots in the world without giving just one idiot all of our attention. Let us remember that there were plenty of idiots before him...

and there will be plenty more idiots to come.

Printer Jam

Okay, songs that are made out of annoying sounds sometimes make that sound more tolerable.
Take for example this rad music video.


I might personally hire this producer to remix my mother making feel bad for not visiting enough.

p.s. if my printer ever turned into a giant crab I would fight it.

PORTRAIT STUDIOS ARE THE NEW BURRITO

A quick question that I think needs to be addressed? Why did this fad die?


This was very much an intentional movement that often left puppies and children costumed and possibly forever fearful of the internet and it's powers to never forget.



I know there are countless blogs devoted to posting these vintage gems but no one is stepping up to the plate to take a swing at success in the Sears Portrait Studio.

Until now...

Blondtron and I did it and we challenge you to help us breathe new life into camera lenses everywhere.

This thanksgiving, pick your backdrop and revive family tradition.

Thom Yorke, you sneaky genius!



What's Thom Yorke of Radiohead doing on stage with Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers in the above picture you ask? How about being an awesomely sneaky bastard and playing new material to a crowd of 600 in LA!!!! HOW JEALOUS AM I?!?!?! Very.
Thom debuted a bunch of new songs with working titles like “Open the Floodgates,” “Skirting on the Surface,” and a potential new Radiohead track called “Lotus Flower” (which might also be called “Moon Upon a Stick”).

Check out how Flea drops the funk on Thom's song Harrowdown Hill!! What an awesome collaboration!

For all you "Fake Celebrity" Haters!!!

I recently read this open letter written by Frances Bean Cobain (Kurt Cobain's daughter) to Ali Lohan (Lindsay Lohan's sister, who is like 16 but looks 35 yrs old), which was featured on Perez Hilton's Blog

This letter will be loved by all those who hate those "Celebrities" who are FAMOUS for doing NOTHING!!!

"This is my open letter to Ali Lohan.

Your not entitled to anything simply because your sister has a recognizable name. Your idea of fame isn't fame. It's infamy.You want to be famous? Work your ass off and make decisions that could potentially catapult your career into a lasting one. Notariety for who you are and notaritey for the work you produce are two completely differnt things. I understand that you have been brought up in an envirtoment where the idea of fame is easily achievable but, that's not an excuse. You lack the talent, social understanding and credibility to be anything other then infamous. Your careere choices, thus far, will transcend a future career as someone who attempted to be famous, but never quite achieved it. And if you do, it will be the formality of fame that puts you on the covers of tabloids, while the public idly watches you plumit into the murky abyss shared with the likes of Spencer Pratt & Jon Gosslin who, i'm sure, will steal your money whilst there. Fortunately for the world, there are people who have and don't have recognizable names, who have obtained artistic integrity and will one day, hopefully, bring that tangible artisticness into light again. Though, its hard to think thats achievable when people like You ali lohan are rendering the world of true talent by attempting to make your entitled ass noticed. How is this fair to the people who HAVE artistic integrity, or a mind? How is it fair to those who truly have something to offer the human race other then a dwindling last name and a few shitty films, both of which, solidified the idea that your just a celebrities sibling. I recognize that i might come across as harsh and no, i don't personally know you, but its the actions that you take, that speak for you. You blatently don't care how your recognized, its the objective to get famous and that is what makes you replaceable and a recycled idea .Well, im ashamed to have to be grouped into the same category of person as you. I would rather die a most painful death the be assoicated with the kind of careere your trying to make for your self.I hope i'm wrong because generally i'm not a very judgmental person, but in the case of you, that is MY entitlement."
