I just happened to come across an infomercial for "Classic Soft Rock." They happened to be showing a clip from the Beach Boy's "Kokomo." In this video, they were showing a close up of Uncle Jesse rocking out on the drums. Man, I miss Jesse & The Rippers.

Disgraced
The U.S. Men's National Team played today against arch-rival Mexico in the final of the Gold Cup. We lost 5 - 0 in a most disgraceful performance. While it was our "B" team out there, there is no excuse to get beat so bad. Ever.
Hopefully the World Cup Qualifier against Mexico, at the Azteca, on August 12th will have a different result.
Anyways, here's a video from a game that I was at, when USA really gave it to Mexico.

The Flaming Lips @ Pitchfork Fest...
...perfectly described in one picture, taking by my boy Will:
It looks like the stage is exploding.
Look at Megan Davey pointing at the stage, her mind exploding.

Ben
Ben is the most fucked up kid I have ever met. Here is a picture of him:
He is a coworker of mine. I was really confused about this kid at first. When I started my job, he was working but I barely talked to him. Then he disappeared. Now he is back, almost a year later. I think he got abducted by aliens, because this kid is fucking out of his mind. Here are some basic stats about him:
-Ben is 5 ft 6 inches.
-Ben lives in Larchmont, New York
-Ben collects pictures from the 70's of dudes making out with other dudes in nightclubs, such as Studio 54
-Ben goes to college, and majors in international relations
-Ben is afraid of lightning
-Ben's phone number is 914-536-3940
-Ben's favorite movie is Top Gun, followed closely by Eyes Wide Shut (he told me that Tom Cruise was dreamy)
-Ben is related to John Jay, the first Chief Justice of the United States (John Jay is his father)
-Ben is fucking crazy
On a ranking of the top 5 crazy kids I have ever met, Ben is number 1. And number 4. He is indeed that crazy.
I am afraid that he might stab me one of these days. Either that, or I will punch him in the face. Until then, I will continue to just yell out his name whenever I see him, and give him high fives throughout the day.

Top 10 Things Ever (no specific order)
-Eating wings, and drinking beer
-Watching sports with "the dudes," while drinking beer, either at a bar or even just chilling at home. This is even more meaningful if it is watching a Liverpool game, or watching the USA beat Spain!!!!
-Eating sandwiches, and drinking beer
-Taking a nice shower, while drinking a beer. For real. Ask any of my old roommates, I love to drink a beer while I am in the shower.
-Summer (grilling out, drinking beer, no shirt on, playing catch)
-Melodic hardcore bands circa 1996-2004
-Being a nut/yelling at people randomly.
-Beer
-Playing 4square while drinking beer
-Playing Tony Hawk with Joey and Jon, laughing when our character falls through glass, and us drinking some beer.

Rise Against - The Unraveling
While growing up as a kid from Illinois who loved melodic hardcore, I absolutely loved 88 Fingers Louie. My best friend Joey and I ate them up, as evidenced by a home video of Joey dancing/bedroom moshing along to a song of theirs. So when they broke up, we were both sad, but anxious to hear their new band. I remember specifically pre-ordering "The Unraveling" by Rise Against and going apeshit when it finally came out. I even saw them play one of their first shows opening up for Thursday, The Movielife, and Boy Sets Fire at the original Creepy Crawl in St. Louis. Soon after that, they probably weren't too happy with me when seeing them at a basement show in Carbondale (I can't remember if it was at Lost Cross or 303 Elm), and me yelling at them to play Everchanging every single song. I even yelled at them to play it again after they finally did close the set out with it. Goddamn, I love that song.

Deathwish Rules
So I posted a few days ago about the 5 cds I ordered from Deathwish for just a dollar each. Well, I also paid another 5 bucks for them to randomly send me 5 more cds. It just came in the mail today, and the 5 cds they sent me are:
Trash Talk - Plagues...Walking Disease
Damage - Final
Blacklisted - We're Unstoppable
Cold World - Dedicated to Babies Who Came Feet First
Blacklisted - Heavier Thank Heaven Lonelier Than God
I'm super-stoked about this. $10 for 10 cds. $10 well spent!
