RANDOM THOUGHTS 25

If it actually ends up being what they described (waterfalls, fire, riots, flashing lights, Molotev cocktails, cannons...), it's gonna be the best performance of all time. OF ALL TIME.

Plus they're mashing up some of their best songs. I mean... Radioactive + M.A.A.D City?

 

If the first Rambo movie is titled "First Blood," and the second is "Rambo: First Blood, Part II," then shouldn't the 3rd installment logically be named "Rambo II: First Blood, Part III" instead of "Rambo III?" And the fourth Rambo is "Rambo." Their titles make no sense....

 

First Blood and First Blood, Part II are 2 chapters (Vietnam) - consider them one big film. Rambo III (Afghanistan) is simply the third in the entire franchise, and Rambo (Burma) came out 20 years after III, so it was just a marketing stunt.

 

Haha. This reminds me of our cat that was named after Rambo.

Thanks!

I think I have the worst immune system ever. Oh, hi Flu!

 

That's what you get for washing your hands.

 

Hot Shots Part Deux have ruined Rambo for me...

 

Dear CBS,

I appreciate the Beatles reunion, the awesome combinations and the Daft Punk Album of the Year win and all, but:

1) Giving Kendrick and Kanye zero awards sucks, even if Macklemore & Ryan Lewis were pretty decent.

2) Haven't you learned your lesson all these years? YOU DO NOT CUT OFF TRENT REZNOR.

 

7 freaking nominations for Kendrick, and they gave him nothing. Bullshit. And he was part of the best performance of the night.

Kanye should have won Best Rap Song.

Agreed.

 

Trent Reznor gave a massive "fuck you" to CBS in Twitter. I mean this was once in a lifetime. It was exactly like the Adam Yauch tribute last year.

 

Christopher Lee is cooler than you could ever possibly hope to be.

 

You know what man, there's nothing like watching the Grammys to renew my misanthropy. Metallica was in poor form, they snubbed Jeff Hanneman (some ass clown nobody knows plays jazz piano gets recognized but not one of the greatest riff writers of all time?!), and then! and then they fucking cut off the best act of the night. Horse shit. This why I had separated from myself from all that bullshit. I watch one night and I remember why I hate pop culture.

It's snowing. I just hope it sticks. It's been raining, so I'm not sure.

 

Being in Biology today has reminded my on how much I fucking HATE Biology.

 

I only hated Biology because I had to memorize a lot of stuff. And then chemistry and physics came.

 

Thankfully, the only amount of credit I need for science in college is 1 semester. Once May comes, I'm done with science!

 

To be honest, since I'm only in my mid-teens, "Closer" was the only NIN song I know before Hesitation Marks came out. I became interested in Trent Reznor after his amazing The Social Network soundtrack. "Came Back Haunted" was the first NIN song I've ever heard, and for some reason I got instantly hooked. I wasn't interested in listening to the album, until, ironically, I saw them at the Grammys, where they performed "Copy of A" before the Queens of the Stone Age performance that was cut off towards the middle of the song. Despite this lame mishap, I decided to listen to "Copy of A" and the other single, "Everything". I love both songs, but "Everything" stood out for me as the better one of the three singles. I also listened to "Satellite" and I was impressed on how diverse the album is. "Came Back Haunted" is progressive NIN, "Copy of A" is indie-electro, "Satellite" is hip hop-like pop and "Everything" is pop punk. I'm curious about getting the album now.

 

Get Hesitation Marks, The Downward Spiral, and the most important of all, The Fragile. The Fragile is one hell of an album, and definitely Trent Reznor's best.

EDIT: The "Broken" EP is also fucking awesome.
