Happy Belated Birthday, Self

Here is a photograph by Ms. Millie Jones of my lovely husband and I at my birthday celebration.
Enjoy.

EDIT: Due to technical difficulties, the full wonder of this .GIF cannot be enjoyed. I'll be working on that.

This may be a little racist, but...

My son looked an awful lot like a cholo this morning.

Chocha O'Clock!

It's been awhile so...

That is all.

Ugh

Once again...nothing to say because I've been slacking in the good music department.
Though, I've been listening to tons of Lady GaGa lately, so maybe I'll have something to say about that eventually.

In other news, have you ever noticed that you really pay way more attention to what underwear you have on when you're on your period?




Over and Out

Why not them?

The Jonas Brothers are on the cover of the new issue of Rolling Stone.

While reading the article online I noticed a sickening number of comments calling them sellouts, disney-channel-bred-labrats, and teenboppers. People are saying that the Jonas Brothers don't deserve to be on the cover of Rolling Stone or even in Rolling Stone at all.

Let me begin by stating that Rolling Stone is a bullshit magazine to begin with and I have trouble truely caring about who is on the cover at all, but I absolutely must defend the JoBros on this one.

Why can't they be on magazine covers? Yes, they're popstars, but in no way would they be "posers" because they don't appear to be posing as anything at all. From what I have seen in my extensive research of these boys they are everything they claim to be. Most importantly they are good people, and if good people can't be on magazine covers then maybe it's time for me to stop reading magazines.

The Jonas Brothers are currently one of the world's largest pop sensations of the moment. Becoming that is something that they worked hard for. As a mother I can appreciate both the family atmosphere they portray for their fans and the energy they put into it. They are clean, safe, and exciting. They love what they do and they do it well. What more could anyone ask for out of them.

If they aren't good enough to be on the cover then who is? Do they need to be drug addicts who play death metal and have rape convictions? Do they have to only play shows to less than 100 people and shun children altogether? Why? None of this seems to make sense to me.

I guess in the end all I really have to say is that if someone hates the Jonas Brothers that much they need to just steer clear of any media whatsoever until Jonas-Mania is over, and from what I've seen, that may be a long time.

Over and Out.

Of the day I guess...

1. Rosemary's Baby is still not that great of a movie. It's just a little too out there and the acting is terrible.

2. Le Disko by The Shiny Toy Guns is still kind of an awesome song, though it can really only be listen to about once a month tops or you'll get sick of it.

3. I just ate Wendy's for lunch, which I swore I wouldn't do and I feel incredibly ill as a result.



Love and Kisses

I don't know how many of you 4chan out there in blog-reader's world, but I saw this photo on a jaunt through Google Image Search and absolutely had to add the caption!
Bahahahahaha!

Vlogs coming soon.

I know I don't update on here very often, but that's sort of the point of this particular blog. It's more of a whatever I feel like type of thing, which is why I'm sort of trying to keep it low key. But, heh, whatever.
Soooo. The good news is that very soon I will be starting a new series of Video posts that I'll hopefully be uploading here as well as on my youtube channel.
You can check me out here in about a month. But don't go yet! There aren't any videos up!
Ok, love ya guys.

There is nothing cute about a Libertarian.

Now I know I'm going to catch alotta flack about this post, but I cannot stand Libertarians. No kidding.
I just read a tiny little snippet from a Libertarian blog regarding information that they believe to have uncovered about John McCain being an anti-Cuban assassin.
Holy Shit. Oh My God.
Srsly? I so wish that Americans could be the educated, mature individuals that we all seem to be so convinced that we are.
I want to live in a 1950's blind utopian society where the personal lives of our nation's leaders aren't scruttenized to the point of appearing to be written and rewritten by the Weekly World News[R.I.P.]
Fuck.

Terrible Music

I haven't updated in awhile because I've been listening to terrible music.
New reviews coming soon.

This is why we can't have nice things...

It was quite recently brought to my attention that I love obscure bands in the same sense as my nine year old sister in law loves the Jonas Brothers and Mylie Cyrus. A great example of this is my So Many Dynamos ringtone. Who are So Many Dynamos? Only four of the most adorable, lovable, and musically breathtaking young men I have personally seen live, and that's really saying something.
I love going to shows and seeing bands I have never seen before. It's similar to my birthday, Christmas, Mother's Day, and an anniversary all rolled into one for me. I show up at Blank Venue in Somewheresville, USA honestly not knowing what's going to happen, who's going to be an asshole, or what sort of people I will meet that day. It's my favorite activity and it is always a surprise, good or bad. I have, unfortunately, seen considerably more dreadful and truly appalling bands than I have decent or even alright bands.
In the case of So Many Dynamos, their show at the Darkroom in Baton Rouge was such a nugget of splendid in a sea of ghastly that I still can't forget it. Even to the extent that I have Search Party as my ringtone on my cellular device. They're that good.

Holy Background Music, Batman!,

I am so excited right now! I have finally and quite officially found the perfect fucking music. Literally fucking music. There is absolutely nothing better to fuck to than Russian Circles. It's heavy, progressive, with a steady, moderate pace, and is completely without all of those pesky lyrics that seem to always ruin the mood. Go ahead. Set your own mood! No one needs to know, it's your bedroom.
Six Russian Circles songs were tested and all of them passed with flying colors.
Oh my God. I just gave myself a boner just thinking about it.

First Order of Business

Neil Diamond is amazing. This is such a fact that it's not even worth stating. It's like Crocs being trashy or Gautier smelling like dog food. Now, some of you may have been considering buying his new record, Home Before Dark. Do it. It's awesome. Trust me on this one. Sadly, you may be thinking, "I love Neil Diamond's voice and remarkable showmanship, but Home Before Dark is too slow to listen to while doing any of my normal daily activities." That isn't true at all. Let me help you out.
Here are some great situations for listening to Home Before Dark:
+Falling asleep
+Driving home either early in the morning or late at night from somewhere far away after a long night of terrible sex with someone you aren't even sure if you like
+Background music while taking a shit or shaving your legs
+Walking slowly
+Reading the newspaper or other publication that doesn't need any actually concentration
+Getting ready for a date, or dinner with your parents if you're anything like me

See. There are plenty of situations that call for slow, acoustic Neil Diamond.
Love it. I know you can!

Allow me to introduce myself.

Hello hello.
I'm Kate. I'm a fairly boring person, I'm mediocre in bed, and I am extremely opinionated.
I had a decent sized local music blog for several years, but I've passed it on to someone with more time on their hands.
Holla.
