Lebron James: World's Most Popular Loser

Ahhh yes, Lebron James...what an easy target to aim for.

Every year this man becomes easier and easier to make fun of and while I'd love to chastise society and blame the media for Lebron's constant abuse I can't help but do the opposite--jump on the bandwagon and do everything in my power to humiliate this pathetic piece of basketball trash.

With that said, enjoy the following collections of nicknames, jokes, and well, actual video footage of the sorry excuse of a player. 

TOP 10 LEBRON JAMES JOKES

1. I asked Lebron James for a dollar the other day (figuring he could spare some change). He gave me 3 quarters and walked away. I stood there confused until Dirk Nowitzki said, "Sorry kid, you should have known Lebron never has a 4th Quarter"

2. Lebron James never went to college because he could never pass the finals

3. Maybe Lebron should try hockey, there's only 3 periods

4. Today was Lebron James day at work.....everyone got to leave 12 minutes early!

5. The new Lebron James Cellphone is always on vibrate because they couldn't give it a ring

6. The new Lebron James car had to be automatic because he's terrible with the clutch

7. Lebron's favorite video game is "Sonic the Hedgehog" because it's the only time he can get a ring

8. Lebron only orders boneless buffalo wings because he fears he'll choke

9. Honey, can we name our kids Lebron James?.....No....it just doesn't have a ring to  it

10. Lebron James thought he was traded to the Magic which explains why he disappeared in the finals

Band to Watch: Innerpartysystem

In 2011 it's hard to create a unique sound within the electronic dance genre because everyone and their mother are writing and performing amidst said genre. Even rock, rap, and pop acts are renewing their sound an image to fit in better with the Electro-centric music landscape of the 21st Century. 

Is there anyone that could stand out of the crowd?

Are there any unique bands left to be found?

Who should you care about in 2011?

INNERPARTYSYSTEM


Patrick Nissley (vocals), Jared Piccone (drums), and Kris Barman (synth, guitar) make up the electronic trio who's ready for a break out year in 2011. Their breakout Never Be Content EP was released by Red Bull Records in February 2011 and it's received a lot of attention. Their first single "American Trash" is a heavy hitting electro-anthem that mixes a tongue-in-cheek lyrical satire of American pride with a barrage of addicting soundscapes. 


The rising stars gained even more steam with the release of their longest song to date "Not Getting Any Better" (8:00). The song has displayed a glimpse of what's available on Innerpartysystem's musical palette both visually and aurally. 

You might want to check this out too:

The trio falls under the workaholic category as they have been recording and touring non-stop since they hit the scene in 2007. Which brings me to the big announcement of their tour dates with the almighty Skrillex!!!!

Innerpartysystem and Skrillex Tour Dates:

                           6/17       Las Vegas, NV                     Crown Nightclub
                           6/18       Dallas,TX                              Electric Daisy Carnival

Facebook: Because You Don't Have the Balls to Talk to Me in Person

Ahhh....Facebook....perhaps the most important creation of the 21st Century.

It's popularity has grown from the depths of exclusive Ivy League clubs to the computers of individuals everywhere in the entire world. But why?

Why is Facebook so damn appealing?

Is it because we like to meet new people?

Nah, I don't think so. I mean most of the friends you talk to on Facebook are your friends in the 'real world' anyways. In fact most of the friends I talk to on Facebook were my existing friends far before Facebook was even created.

Is it because Facebook is a strong business tool?

Many could say yes because well, it is. However, so was Myspace and no one gives a damn about Myspace anymore. To say Facebook is a good marketing tool is true, but in comparison to all the other substitute services the world deals with on a daily basis, I would say this is far from the answer we're looking for.

We could sit here all day listing appealing characteristics of the Facebook experience, but in my eyes it comes down to one thing:

Our current generation is afraid of personal interaction or any relationship that could even be considered sensual or emotionally satisfying.

Allow me to explain...

When interacting with someone in person there are certain risks that one must take in order to achieve any rewards in a that relationship; whether romantic, platonic, or otherwise.  To fall in love with some one we must risk hate. To make someone laugh we must risk embarrassment. To attempt any communication is to risk some sort of MIS-communication. This is why Myspace eventually failed. Myspace became far too personal, far too exploited, and of course far too cluttered. Each Myspace profile was cluttered with music, pictures, videos, personal profile layouts, and endless other personalization tools.This sounds great but remember, attempting to communicate always involves the risk of mis-communicating. What was once a fun way to express yourself, became a bulletin board for people to judge your life and show off your flaws. 

Facebook works because there is virtually NO RISK!! Especially in the early days of Facebook there was little to be found on one's profile that would make them look significantly different when compared to another person. Clean interface with only basic information available to the viewer. Facebook has followed the Myspace model a little bit by adding games, gimmicks, and worthless applications however it still remains impersonal (despite an attempt to create personal communication haha). Twitter has gone even farther down the path to impersonal communication and thus we see it's popularity sky rocketing.

So, why is Facebook so awesome?

Because our generation is full of impersonal drones that want to speak their opinion to the world without being judged in a blatantly obvious manner. Say whatever you want on Facebook and if you don't like the responses you get....fuck it...delete them. You don't like a particular person? Fuck it...delete them. The world is available on Facebook, and yet the real beauty of it, is that with Facebook you're able to ignore the world and block out anything you don't want to hear.


So because we're all a bunch of social pussies who can't stand the risk of real social interactions we've created a slippery slope towards a machine driven society.

With all that said I've been on Facebook for 3-4 years now and I fucking LOVE IT!!! hahaha

Subliminal Verse #4

“I, Only”

Second time you called me I ignored it altogether
Hairs in my throat are standing on end and they always warned me that the ‘drip’ was the worst part
Spontaneity is surely underrated
But Let us return to the topic at hand and with time
 go and do likewise

It’s an unfortunate circumstance, essentially solitary
Platonic ventures offer medial indulgence
Of course it is this way
The sniper’s aim is so astute that he has never been seen missing a targeted shot and yet, this one humble desire encompasses only consequences of the refusal nature

Here comes the litigation
I’d like to be read my rights before prosecution

There goes his suffering
Because to be without desire is to follow the way to nirvana

Fractured antiques of memories once lived pile high but just out of sight
We’ll review things as they occuror if they even occur at all

I suppose some stories are left untold
Some destinies unfulfilled
Sanctuary
Immaculate

World.....Meet Jackson Guthy!!!


Jackson Guthy is an aspiring singer-songwriter and while he's only 15 years of age, this kid is well on his way to a successful career. He has been writing songs since the age of 7 with quite a large catalog to his name by now! Articulate both in piano and song structure Jackson Guthy is so talented even Ellen Degeneres had to share his music with the world (video below). Still enjoying life as a teen Guthy is an avid skateboarder and surfer in SoCal. 

His latest single "Loving" is catchy enough for radio while remaining lyrically fascinating enough to appeal to all. 


New on the scene in 2011 Jackson Guthy is someone to look out for but you won't have to look very hard because this young star is on a rocket to the top! 


Get all of his latest news and music:

2011 Revolver Golden Gods Awards


The Third Annual Revolver Golden Gods Awards took place April 20th 
and the Metal Legends blessed the black carpet once more. Avenged Sevenfold cleaned house at the awards this year not only taking home multiple awards, but also by ending the night 
with a powerful live show that included a Pantera cover of "Mouth for War". 

While the award show is certainly a step in the right direction for the metal world
and the anticipation of a growing metal world but there are still many complaints. Metal heads are still annoyed by the "mainstream" attitude of media including this award show. Most in attendance are classic metal heads who are legendary only for their past endeavors while others include modern chart topping acts like the above mentioned A7X. So where's the respect for the new metal scene? The "no-name" metal-ers looking for a break....where are they?

Having Asking Alexandria on the set list was an encouraging move but I wouldn't hold your breath for any 'metal-core' revivals in mass media.

All-in-all the Metal Awards shows are fun and exciting and give metal heads at least 1 award show that's not going to give out an award to fucking Jethro Tull!!!


The full list of winners and presenters for the third annual Revolver Golden Gods Awards is as follows:

* Golden God Award: 
Alice Cooper
(presented by Rob Zombie)

* Ronnie James Dio Lifetime Achievement Award: MÖTLEY CRÜE
(presented by Corey Taylor of SLIPKNOT/STONE SOUR)

* Honorary Headbanger Award: William Shatner 
(presented by Scott Ian of ANTHRAX and THE DAMNED THINGS and comedian Brian Posehn)

* Best Guitarists Award: Synyster Gates and Zacky Vengeance of

* Best Drummer Award: Mike Portnoy for his work with Avenged Sevenfold 
(presented by Vinnie Paul of PANTERA/HELLYEAH)

* Best New Band Award: BLACK VEIL BRIDES 
(presented by Duff McKagan of LOADED/VELVET REVOLVER/GUNS N' ROSES)

* Most Metal Athlete Award: Skateboarder Mike Vallely 
(presented by Chino Moreno of Deftones)

PREMIERE: Hot Korn Track feat. Skrillex!!!!

Skrillex with James "Munky" Shaffer (left) & Jonathan Davis of Korn (Photo: Sébastien Paquet)


Hot Los Angeles DJ Skrillex's set at this weekend's Coachella Festival is sure to be 
a bangin' dance party, and during his performance he'll be playing his new collabo with 
Korn, "Get Up." But you don't need a ticket to the Indio, CA, event to hear the track
 SPIN is Premiering It!!!!
"Get Up," tentatively due on a new Korn EP in May, is a skittering blitzkrieg
 of heavy electro beats and guitars. "I heard a few of Skrillex's re-mixes and really felt
 there would be a good chance that he would have the right sensibility to
 connect us to a new hard sound and direction, but still keeping Korn guitars and 
our vibe," frontman Jonathan Davis tells SPIN. "We were just thinking of trying 
something new, to be honest, so I had my manager reach out to the Skrillex camp. 
When we got into the studio the connection was instant!"
