1. The Giants really, really stunk it up this past weekend. It's like that Space Jam movie, where all the player's ability was stolen by aliens to play against the Loony Tunes for their world. I mean, the Giants didn't show up.
Besides the embarrassing loss, Tiki went TO on the coaching staff, saying they got outcoached. Yikes. Mike Lupica, wrote a good strory about the whole thing, here. To makes things worst, there was this one preview for the Fox sports show Sunday night, where they had a young girls say, the Giants put the P in Pathetic. Ouch, rough. 2. The other day, I watched a repeat of a Saturday Night Live episode with Eva Longoria and musical guests, KORN.
Now, my problem doesn't sit with the lovely, yet not funny, Longoria. It sits with KORN. I mean, beyond the fact that they all look like rejects from the Surreal Life, could they be any worst live. Obviously, their relevance to popular music has dissipated, much like Jonathan Davis' hairline, but could you get a band, that's any worse to watch live on TV. Damn, why didn't they just get Limp Bizkit on stage and retell the story of 1999. I mean, KORN covered Cameo's Word Up. Seriously, get some good bands on SNL, bands whose hey day wasn't in the last century. I'd love to see a band like Wilco, Interpol, Bloc Party or the Shins on there. 3. The whole premise for this TV show, Beauty and the Geek 2 just seems wrong. But damn, does that look like it could be pretty damn funny. What would make it an even funnier show would be celebrities(or semi- Celebs) on the show. I mean, come on, they are everywhere already. Wouldn't it be amazing to see Balki hitting on Giselle, or Seth Green on Tyra Banks.
And while we're at it. The new Celebrity fit club. What is up with the guy from Taxi. Dude needs rehab, not fat farm. Also, why are half the contestants, really not that fat, just seriously out of shape. But lets give it up for Young MC. My man, is hella fat, and not so young anymore!4. Howard Stern finally made his Satellite Radio debut. Amidst rumors of a secret marriage to girlfriend Beth Ostrosky, he went commercial free and couldn't control himself from cursing, though he managed to do it for 20 some odd years on terrestrial radio. Also, what the hell is up with the Black Panther rip off, the "defiant fist."
The logo shows a black fist with the ring and middle fingers forming an "H" for "Howard" against a red background. Does Howard really think he's fighting the good war. I'm a little confused by his whole decision to move to Satellite Radio, and give up his fight against the FCC. I also wonder if everyone that works at Sirius gets a few extra pennies in their check, every time they mention Howard's name on the other stations..
5. Apple Computer Tuesday introduced new Intel-powered desktop and notebook. with the entire Macintosh line moving to Intel chips this year. Yay! So now all Macs purchased before this year will be obsolete faster than they usually are. Steve Jobs, I blame this on you.
6. Oh Marcus Vick, how entertaining you are. Not quite as entertaining as your brother, Ron Mexico, uh... I mean, Michael, but close. Well, the former Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus, who was booted from the team last week for his behavior on and off the field, was charged Monday with pulling a gun on three teenagers during an altercation in a restaurant parking lot.
So, lets see over the last few weeks, he received a speeding ticket and a ticket for driving on a suspended license, while under a "zero tolerance" policy from Virginia Tech, was caught on tape stomping on the left calf of Louisville All-American Elvis Dumervil during the Gator Bowl, got kicked off the team, Saturday, announced he had decided to turn pro and Sunday, manages to get arrested. I'm thinking the Vick's should be nominated for parents of the year, those two kids of theirs, could make any parents proud. 7. Yes! After, what seems like months of waiting, Lost is finally back tonight. I think many will agree, we could use less Ana-Lucia in our life. By the way, did anyone see how both she, Michelle Rodriguez, and Cynthia Watros, who plays the Libby, were busted for drunken driving within 15 minutes of each other. Man, that must have been a crazy party. And apparently, Rodriguez, has a history of bad driving, you can check that out here
Tonight on the show, the Hobbit, gets the smackdown on the Virgin Mary statue he's been carrying around. I think many of us agree, we would like to give him the smackdown, as he's one of the most annoying TV characters since, Grace, on Will and Grace. Listening Pile
I was just listening to Will Haven's El Diablo. The Sacramento band released three fantastic albums on hardcore label, Revelation Records. Dense, aggressive, with monstrous angular riffs, and singer Grady Avenell's desperate growls, this band made great music, that was a bit ahead of their time.
They were fantastic live, sludging through songs about despair, addiction, love and death. They even got on the cover of Kerrang! Just when they seemed at their height of creativity and praise, singer Avenell left not long after the release of their last disc, Carpe Diem. They released a DVD called Foreign Films, featuring their last ever show and a wealth of footage from the last tour. The remaining members of the band went on to form Ghostride. However, at the tail end of last year, the original lineup (guitarist Jeff Irwin, bassist Mike Martin, drummer Mitch Wheeler and vocalist Grady Avenell, plus touring guitarist Cayle Hunter) began writing new material and set to record a brand new album in the Spring. Without even releasing any new material the band finds themselves with tour dates in Australia in the Spring of 2006 and plans are in the works to go out with hometown friends the Deftones in the summer of 2006.
