So, I Guess We Can Either Have a Steak or a Shake...

Happy Labor Day, everyone! Or at least it's happy to anyone who either A) didn't have to work, or B) didn't go to school. For me, it's both!

Let's load up some new stuff today, shall we?

Happy Tree Friends. Always fun. In a ridiculously twisted, morbid, and disturbing way...

Anyway. More music downloading! Yay! Still haven't really come up with an official title for this, but I don't really care that much. Today, Linkin Park. A little more commercial than Cold. I couldn't decide which was better: "Hybrid Theory" or "Meteora." So here's both of them. They've got generally the same sound, though personally, I think they're completely different. Hybrid Theory has kind of a cold, wintery sound (if that makes sense), and Meteora is more warm, more of an earthy sound. But whatever, probably doesn't make sense to you. They're both great albums.

Music news, anyone? So next month should be kind of exciting. 30 Seconds to Mars is releasing their first CD in four years, to be titled "This is War." I guess Kanye West has been a part of some of their recording process, and he is singing (without Auto Tune) on a song called "Hurricane."

Creed will also be releasing an album the same day (which happens t obe Ocotber 2), entitled "Full Circle." I think it's funny that they're back together. Mark Tremonti had even said that they would never, ever get back together. But money is money. And he can get more money with Creed. So anyway, it's Creed's first release in five years, and their first studio CD in eight. They have 17 songs right now, but that will most likely be trimmed down before the release.

I'm done for today. I'll catch you later (tomorrow) with new stuff. Until then, adios!

Our Amps Go to 11

Yesterday, I decided that my blogs need to contain more stuff. So there's gonna be more stuff.

First of all, the title deals with music (specifically, it's a quote from "This is Spinal Tap"), so here's some music news. Linkin Park is releasing a new CD, and I'm totally gonna buy it. Which I rarely do. Mike Shinoda says it's so different, they're going to have to come up with a new genre for it. Sounds fucking awesome, Mike. Post-hardcore band Alesana is also planning to release a CD (another I'll probably buy). It's going to focus on one story this time, dealing with the turn of cntury. Other than that,we don't know anything about it. STP also has plans for a new album (Yep, Scott Weiland is back with them, and no, he hasn't died of a heroin overdose yet. He's actually clean!)

Alright, non-related stuff. This news story will make you say "WTF?" This just happened yesterday or the day before...

Like I said. "WTF?" I also found a story about a plant that can eat rats. Couldn't find a good video, though, so Google it.

By the way, did you know you can put your face on an M&M? It's freakin' sweet.

What do you think, one more video? This is one of the most clever things I've ever seen. It's from College Humor.

Told you it was good.

That's it for now. Quit whining, there was a lot of good stuff in here. I'll be back tomorrow, same time, same place.
