HTML Editor Sample Page

Enjoy.

 

5. Justin is feeling a little under the weather

2. And down right cocky

10 Songs to Shotgun Cheap Beers to This May 2-4


Although Friday seems like an eternity from now, with May 2-4 happening this weekend, we wanted to give you a list of songs to fuel your beer binging, cottage going, shenanigan-filled long weekend. From chill Sublime to upbeat EDM, let this list guide you on your journey to a long weekend you probably won’t remember.

1.       Sublime – 40 Ounces to Freedom

Couldn't have a list destined for a long weekend without something from Sublime. 

 

2.       Spirit of the west – Home for a Rest

Essentially the anthem for any form of drinking-related activities. 

3.       Thin Lizzy – Whiskey in the Jar

Most people would know the Metalica version, but we like to keep it classic (and no one likes a metal head drunk...)

4.       Banjo & Sullivan – I’m Home Getting Hammered While She’s Out Getting Nailed

Not our first choice to write about but hilarious drunken conversation starter. 

5.       Jimmy Buffet - Why Don’t We Get Drunk and Screw

Another classic from Jimmy Buffet, the ukulele is endearing though.

6.       The Champs – Tequila

Let's be honest, this is just a great song, not to mention it has a pretty simple message. 

7.       Andrew W K – Party Till You Puke

If you aren't able to accomplish puking from your activities this weekend, this video will surely help.

 

8.       LMFAO ft. Lil Jon – Shots

Partying out in full force in this one, and let's be honest you must have shotgunned a few before throwing together 97% of the outfits in this video. Also a dangerously good drinking game.

 

9. R3hab – The Bottle Song

Instead of taking shots, why not just cut out the middle man and move straight to bottles?

 

10. Avicii – Alcoholic 

First there were shots, then bottles, and now? An original track that is as good for drinking as the title suggests.

Exposed: Cats Forced to Perform in Drug-Fuelled Doors Cover Band


HTML Editor Sample Page

 

Anyone who's seen the masterful Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Cats will know that humans are more than capable of dressing up as felines and singing such lines as "The Rum Tum Tugger is a terrible bore/ When you let me in, then I want to go out/ I'm always on the wrong side of every door" with grace and eloquence.  
 
Less known, perhaps, is that there exists a shadowy underground scene in cities like Berlin and Auckland where actual cats are fed a strict diet of ecstasy and meth-infused silly putty and forced to listen to Doors albums on repeat for months at a time. Upon graduating from "Jimmy's Kitty Kamp," the cats are then made to play to crowds of pilled-up youth bellowing requests for "Whisky Bar" and "The Wasp (Texas Radio and The Big Beat.)" 
 
Below are photos exposing this cruel practice. Be warned -- armed with the knowledge that these cats are being forced to perform an endless parade of Doors cover songs against their will, they're truly heartbreaking.

 

Left to right: Meowby Krieger, John Pawsmore and Ray Catzarek perform at Meowrrison Hotel, Berlin. (Not pictured, Jim Whiskerson.)

 

Dimebag Sockswell of opening act Pawtera.

 

After free-pouring a pint of Jack Daniels into his mouth, Jim Whiskerson performs a surly solo rendition of "Hello, I Love You."

 

Meowrrison Hotel resident DJ, Catnip Bluntz. 

 

This young DJ has the glazed over look consistent with a mispent, drug-fuelled youth.

 

Jimmy's Kitty Kamp is a gruelling, months-long ordeal that some cats fail to survive.

 

The younger the better, say the patrons of Meowrrison Hotel.

 

Word on the street is that there's a new Bob Segar-themed club in town, Brand New Meowning.

3 Artists With Multiple Creepy Album Covers


HTML Editor Sample Page

Have you ever been flipping through your records, CDs, or itunes album covers only to find yourself thinking: "Wow, this band is really creeping me out." Well, so did we and here are the results:

 

Iron Maiden:

A great band that also took the route of making their albums covers worthy of giving children nightmares. With all of their albums, these are the creepiest of the bunch.

(1990 - No Prayer For The Dying)

(1992 - Fear of the Dark)

(1995 - The X Factor)

 

Korn:

A Nu-Metal band coming from sunny California have earned the number two slot in our list.  We only included the 3 creepiest covers, but we assure you that the rest are just as bad. The band actually has their 11th album releasing later this year, we will have to wait and see if this cover will make the next list.

(1994 - Korn)

(1996 - Life Is Peachy)

(2005 - See You On The Other Side)

 

Aphex Twin: 

The fact that he was able to make multiple albums covers mainly depicting his face and still succeeds in making them creepy, earns Aphex Twin our number one spot for the creepiest multiple album covers. 

(1995 - ..I Care Because You Do)

(1996 - Richard D. James)

(1999 - Windowlicker)

Just incase the album covers aren’t creepy enough for you, check out this video…

 

Honourable Mention: Justin Bieber.

He has millions of screaming fans, he still creeps me out.

(2010 - My World)

10 Worst Festival Fashion Fails


HTML Editor Sample Page

With the summer fast approaching, festivals are the next big thing to hit the music world, and we wanted to give you a quick overview on what outfits we will be avoiding this season. Although festivals are bound to bring tons of fun, and certainly some colorful individuals, you do not need to look like a confused rainbow who forgot a piece or two of a socially acceptable outfit.

Whether you're bound for an EDM festival like Electric Daisy Carnival or more of a hippie festival like Bonnaroo or Burning Man, make sure you're dressed for the occasion. But you should also take a couple of minutes extra to plan a functional outfit over a ridiculous one.

 

Let’s start out with couples:

1. Let the ascot/neck bandana and fanny pack act as bonus fail points.

 

 

2. Major highlight being the morphsuit that, although allowing you to be easily spotted in a crowd, may give the impression that you're covered in horrible scars from drunken knife fights on a boat in international waters.

 

 

  

3. Our last couple has hilariously planned outfits. Unfortunately the awkwardly tight pants in the heat can’t have been that comfortable, and those wigs must have just been a nuisance.

 

 

Let’s call this the “hats” section:

          

4. This guy’s strategy appears to be the mounted deer look, which is fine mixed with the irony that he looks like a deer in headlights who's decided to attack the car barreling towards him.

 

 

              

5. The best part is, he appears to be pleased with himself. 

 

 

Next, the inexplicably weird:

6. Glasses... Enough said.

 

 

7. Mask, tights, socks, fanny pack... etc.

 

 

Finally the just plain frightening:

    

8. Although hair can be expressive, this appears to be more of a hazard.

 

 

   

             

9. The common pale guy with no shirt: Keeping aloe vera sales alive since 1969.

 

 

10. This is the one sure way to be the most memorably terrifying individual at the entire festival.

Watch: Coachella Festivalgoers Love Fake Bands


HTML Editor Sample Page

Sure we've probably all pretended to be into some obscure anti-folk band or another while cornered by a decidedly hipper-than-thou individual filtering artisinal bourbon through a perfectly waxed mustache at a party. But this? This is too much -- and too funny. 
 
Watch as Coachella festivalgoers claim to be totally into fake bands with names like Doctor Shlomo and the GI Clinic while being questioned by a correspondent from The Jimmy Kimmel Show.

Watch: "Space Ducks," a new single from Daniel Johnston


HTML Editor Sample Page
 
If you've never seen the 2005 documentary The Devil and Daniel Johnston, do yourself a solid and rent it from your local video store. If your hamlet/town/city no longer boasts a video store, do yourself an even bigger solid and drive to the nearest hamlet/town/city that does and pick it up there. Don't have a car? Ride a bicycle -- it's spring and you probably need exercise. Flat tires after a winter chained to a gas line in an alley that smells like wet sand? Take a local bus or Greyhound. Why? Because this is a good documentary.
 
Here's a new song called "Space Ducks" from the subject of that documentary -- the manic-depressive, multi-talented Daniel Johnston.

Watch: The Horrors Cover Bowie


HTML Editor Sample Page

The Horrors have spanned many a genre over their almost decade-long career -- from their goth-punk infused debut Strangehouse and krautrock-y follow-up to their post-punk gem Skying -- but they've never tackled the genre that is David Bowie. Until now.

Watch The Horrors work their dark magic on "Suffragette City," from Bowie's 1972 classic The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.

Only complaint? The omission of the "Wham bam thank you ma'am" line. Why?

Watch: Tyler, The Creator is Stuck Inside a Dollhouse


HTML Editor Sample Page

If there's one dude we can count on to consistently turn out deliciously twisted videos (besides Flaming Lips ringleader Wayne Coyne) it's Tyler, the Creator. In his latest, for the song "IFHY," we find Tyler wearing a Vanilla Sky-esque facial prosthetic and stuck inside a dollhouse with an equally creepy female companion. Better to just see for yourself -- unless you're in any way f-bomb averse, of course.
