Metalcore....kinda silly really
another long day at work.
On the up side, we have finally decided to start booking our tour which we will be on through all of June and July with a band called Led By Last who are fucking cool as hell. We'll be doing all the west coast, Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, Boise, Salt Lake City, Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Phoenix, Vegas, Denver, Flagstaff and a bunch of dates in Illinois. So yeah, its big and scary but going to be an experience of a lifetime.
we are calling the tour.... (drumroll please...)
POP PUNKS NOT DEAD TOUR
I thought it was witty, if a little cheesy.
Me and adam were talking about how stupid metalcore has become (don't get me wrong, I like a lot of metalcore) but ALL the singers sound like Jamie from Hatebreed and use words that NO-ONE uses in everyday conversation and all the songs sound like presidential candidate speeches. They are all about rising up, and persevering, and fighting the odds and staying true and straight and shit like that. Confused? lemme give you an example.
Hatebreed's "Perseverance":
"Your world is coming apart
Remain steadfast
Perseverance
Against all opposition
Crushing all limitations
Pure strength through solitude
Discipline and determination"
You see what I mean yet?
Bury Your Dead's "33RPM":
"Bring it back, just because you turned your back,
ill never turn away turn away from this fight,
ill never turn my back on this fight."
or my favorite
Terror's "Less Than Zero"
"You're killing yourself
You gotta fight
Pick yourself back up
And man I've been there too
Numbing my broken dreams
and the love that I've killed
You're killing yourself
You gotta fight or you will self destruct"
Yeah, so I like metalcore...inspiring stuff don't you think?
Oh, and we just got some promotional materials for the new version of Donnie Darko coming out on DVd. You know what they are? Rabbits feet with donnie darko keyrings. Now, I am not going to get all PETA on you, but thats fucking gross. Real fucking rabbit feet. They smell gross and have the nail in them and everything. How many rabbits did they kill for this goddam DVD to sell a few more. I am not normally bothered by this kind of stuff. I think chickens make great nuggets, I love steak and hamburgers are fucking awesome. But real rabbits feet? how is that a good luck charm. It clearly didn't bring any luck to the bastard rabbit.
urgh.
