I am that jerk

The new Pallbearer album is out. I like it. You can listen to it on the hipster station - NPR - in its entirety. It includes two songs rerecorded from the demo. And I am that asshole. The demo versions were better.

Ups and downs

So Van Halen have a new album out.  David Lee Roth is singing on this album.  And here is Diamond Dave predicting it will happen in 2002:



Dave is certainly "on" here.  But in this 1994 interview Dave is a bit of a downer.



How do you convince your wife to let you take your son on tour with this guy?  Or is he just "crazy uncle Dave" around the Van Halen house?

Workout playlist

Seems like everyone in the blogosphere is working on their GTL and sharing their workout playlists.  Sounds like a good excuse for me to recycle an old post.  So sit back and enjoy copy and paste:

Step one is queue up some workout jams.  Lately it is 33rpm Metallica, Danzig II and III, and Pantera's Vulgar Display of Power.  That is pretty much as good as it gets.

So yeah.  I like the way Chuck Biscuits plays a strong downbeat.  It is a good rhythm for me to lift weights.  Not too fast or too slow and the downbeat helps me focus on the reps.



If everything's put together and you feel great and you look great then its awesome.



Word

Remember that you are a product that you are trying to sell to people every day of your life every time you interact with someone face to face.  So you need to look your best in order to successfully market yourself to others.  Go to the gym, fattie.  Go tanning, you look sick.  And for God's sake smell good.  Chew some spearmint for fuck's sake you smell like cheap vodka.



GTS. Gym tan spearmint you fucking wino.
