MUSIC NOTES
- Favorite "new finds" of the month: Dark Blue, Inservibles, Indian, Andy Stott, Old Man Gloom, Tombs, Crime Desire, Big Talk, Richfield, Antemasque, Bell Witch
- The new Title Fight album is drastically different than their old style but I'm about it
- Why did I listen to multiple Michael Franti albums when I already know I don't like his shit? Sometimes I just don't understand my motives
- The new Xibalba album is AWESOME; I never really dug them too much before but this shit is really good
- "Human rights went on vacation..."
- Bad Religion has released the same album like 6 times in recent years
- "...And only the wounded remain"
- "Merchandise, it keeps us in line"
- Stick To Your Guns adding those strained clean vocals wasn't the best bet IMO...they shoulda stuck to their guns
- Worst of the month: Aer, Redman, Saving Abel, Youth In Revolt, Sister Sparrow & The Dirty Birds, Stick Figure
- "Are You Dead Yet?" may be one of the stupidest album titles of all time but it gets a lot more hate than it deserves
- Maybe its because they're the songs that I always kinda gazed over in my many, many times listening to "Angel Dust" but this time around it was "RV" and especially "Jizzlobber" that got stuck in my head
- Damn that Redman album was AWFUL
- I actually was pleasantly surprised by that Slightly Stoopid album but its just wayyyy too long. On a similar tip, that Tribal Seeds album is also way too long but not nearly as enjoyable
- I am truly befuddled by how insanely popular Imagine Dragons are...I mean they're not horrible, there are like 2 or 3 songs on each of their albums that are decent, but how are they headlining material for so many festivals? I just don't get it.
- That Aquadolls girl is hella cute
- Part of me can't believe Antemasque is the type of music the ATDI guys are doing nowadays but I actually like it alot.
- I guess I really need to check out Turbonegro's 90s albums to understand what the hype is about because every time I've tried to give them a try I'm severely underwhelmed

MOVIE NOTES
- "Road Dogs" was even more disappointing than I had expected it to be
- Man I watched some boring-ass action movies this month.
- I swear to God Rambo teams up with the goddamn Taliban in "Rambo III" and before the credits roll there's a screen commending the freedom fighters of Afghanistan...The movie was made in 1988, before the Gulf War, so the U.S. totally was helping them around this time, it's just bizarre looking at those scenes in hindsight
- "Stranger Than Fiction" is hella underrated
- "I learned the facts of life, from watching 'The Facts Of Life'!"
- I watched 3 Jamie Foxx movies this month. Do with that what you will.
- Holy shit "The Thin Red Line" is a longass movie
- Troy told me that "Superman Returns" was gonna suck but I actually kinda liked it (despite it also being maybe a tad long)
