MUSIC NOTES
- Worst of the month: Rae Sremmurd, Breaking Benjamin, Family Force 5
- Rae Sremmurd is some of the absolute worst music I've ever heard and I don't understand how its popular whatsoever...They're like, children and I can't take any of their gangsterisms seriously
- Favorite 'new finds' of the month: Celeste, Krokodil, Vegan Reich, Cardio Kazan, Incendiary, Jon Hopkins
- Man those 90's Fat Wreck compilations were fuckin CRUCIAL
- "Sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year."
- tUnE-yArDs is hella overrated. Same thing with Infest.
- "There will be silence..."
- Wow Vegan Reich sounds so much different than I had imagined...I mean obviously I'm not about Hardline politics but there's all sorts of bands I don't see eye to eye with that are worse than them
- I listened to that Slipknot album while loading the tracks from my latest acoustic EP onto bandcamp....Itg also includes the first song my brother Troy ever finished and recorded; check it out https://endofthesummer.bandcamp.com/album/living-situations
- The dog days are over.
- "Inconvenient, immoral people..."
- I like trance music so much better when there's no vocals...vocals ruin it like 90% of the time
- Man o man Serj Tankian is annoying
- Yes, THAT Minnie Driver
- 20 Eyes In My Head
- That Shattered Faith 7" was really disappointing
- She's lump, she's lump, she's lump, she's in my head. She might be dead.
- My god Billy Talent is fucking ANNOYING how in the hell did they manage a career much less one long enough to warrant a "Hits" album?
- "Don't forget your roots"
- Their early association with deathcore has maligned both their fanbase's opinion of them and the larger metal world's opinion of them, but I feel confident in saying that Job For A Cowboy is one of the best death metal bands operating currently

- "Mad Men" certainly lives up to its hype ; "Orange Is The New Black" is good too but very, very unrealistic
- Jake Gyllenhaal is fucking intense in "Nightwatcher," that movie was pretty tight
- "How do I freshy???"
- Holy shit Scarlett Johansson is so goddamn hot
- Holy shit Jennifer Lawrence is so goddamn hot
