The Death of Bieber

Is it just me that pictures the two girls from Baby Got Back saying this,

"Oh My Gawd! Becky, look at her hair. It is sooo butch."

"Honey, that's just Justin Bieber.

I hate on the brother a lot, but he's got it going on right now. He's like herpes. He'll keep coming back.
Author Note: I in fact do not have herpes. Thank You.

So when I titled this blog; I was going in a totally different direction, but my cognitive abilities overwhelmed my senseless hate of this 16-year-old boy. Anyways I'm going to give the boy his props. I just hope he doesn't get addicted to cocaine or meth. Well maybe that would be a little entertaining.

So after you just read that very A.D.D introduction you're probably wondering something along these lines, "Cody, what on earth are you talking about." (and THAT my friends is the nice version) Well good people of the internets I'll tell you exactly what I'm talking about. (crickets chirping)... I got nothing.

Ok so let us dear friends go back to February of last year. No, I did not have a girlfriend that looked like your boyfriend. (I just made that up. Aren't I clever? NO!) We're gonna check up on a couple of bands I introduced you to that day.

First off: Mistress Stephanie and Her Melodic Cat.

I know what you guys are thinking. "Really again." I really am in your head I swear. To my newer readers let me introduce you. Click Here for Instant Brain Damage 

They have an album and I am never going to Austin. THE END!

You say "Cody, why did you just waste my time." I say, "Because I'm evil."

Now lets get serious. (really took awhile huh?)

Big If: The frontmen of two wonderfully awesome rock bands and they have yet to produce an album or be signed. This might have something to do with what I'm currently freaking out about. And if there is a God someone will buy it for me for my birthday. See Yellowcard.

Yellowcard! I'm giddy with excitement boys and girls.

This is Yellowcard's upcoming album

When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes

To be released on March 22. Yes the week of my birthday. Who wants me to love them like a new puppy? Also, Former Reeve Oliver frontman and Big If co-frontman. Sean O' Donnell is Yellowcard's new bassist.







So now that I'm done trippin', lets check out what came out this week.

Iron & Wine
You guys may know them from the Twilight soundtrack, which is cool and all, but their new release is not at all what I expected. It's called "Kiss Each Other Clean" and sounds nothing like a Sam Beam led band. I wondered if iTunes had made a mistake. Still awesome though. If you like The Boxer Rebellion and BRMC then this album is for you. It's got a edgy feel to it which is completely different than their pretty vocals of the past. If you liked "The Creek Drank the Cradle" don't expect it to sound anything like that.

Cold War Kids:
Released Mine is Yours a couple days ago, and I am in love. I must admit that I was not a fan until this album came out. So that says a lot about how much they have evolved their sound. They no longer sound like hyperactive children jumping on a piano. Much respect.


What I missed.

Corrine Bailey Rae who is a wonderful musician has a new EP out called The Love
Rise Against has a new single out called Help is on the Way
Foster the People who I've been following on my_ has Foster the People EP out. FINALLY!
Say Hi is amazing. The new album Um, Uh Oh is my favorite from them. and is the best album released this year. So far...

Porn Star Dancing

There's one good thing Chad Kroeger has done. Oh man that was a tough sentence to write. Fans if you haven't figured out anything about me you should know one thing. There is no reason Nickelback should be allowed to write any kind of music. From the boring hope filled balads to the hopeless rants about sex and partying, Nickelback has won over many people. How have they done it? The same formula over and over again. I don't know why people like them just they they have become a huge part of the new rock scene and have given the modern rock scene its most exposure.

In 2002 Kroeger and lawyer, Johnathon Simkin founded 604 Records. You may recognize 604 for signing a lot of top talent out of Canada. Which of course was Nickelback's roots. Thornly, Theory of a Deadman, and most recently My Darkest Days have signed on with Kroeger who has given these bands plenty of exposure.

My Darkest Days lead singer Matt Walst, the brother of Three Days Grace bassist Brad Walst, had become quite the musician and instead of playing for his brothers band decided to form his own.

When Kroeger heard this band he immediately signed them. The first song they wrote for their new label. "Porn Star Dancing." They filmed the video in Vegas with Kroeger, Black Label Society founder and former guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne Zak Wylde, and the most recent version includes rapper, Ludacris. It has Post-Grunge written all over it. If it reminds you anything of Theory of a Deadman with a little Buckcherry thrown in? There you go!! Its party rock for sure and this song is gonna be HUGE!!

Unfortunately... and fortunately. This is an excellent band with a lot of musicality thrown in their music, but they missed the mark here. This may be a publicity stunt, and it will certainly generate a lot of interest. Lets hope we see the real band before long.

The Video is posted below for anyone who wants to watch it.

Once again lets move on to some good stuff

Not much more is as exciting to me than thinking about next week. Oh man!!! Linkin Park and one of the most excellent bands ever Jimmy Eat World will return!! Why aren't you all screaming like little school girls...is it just me...oh well I don't care!!

To be honest not a whole ton to be excited about this week. Some things I recently got!

Untouchable by Before their Eyes. I've always loved this band and with every CD they get better.

Audio Secrecy by StoneSour. You may call it the Slipknot B team. I call them Corey Taylor's BEST BAND, and you can quote me on that.

Anberlin's new album. Dark is the Way, Light is a Place. For anyone that loved BluePrints For The Blackmarket. This album is for you. I'm so in Love.

This CD has been out since last month, but I just now got my virtual hands on it. Red Jumpsuit Apparatus The Hell or High Water. Its a decent effort from RJA. This band seems to be on their way out. Sadly.

Well guys there wasn't much for me to rant and rave about this week. Let me hear from you guys. I really appreciate everyone that reads this, but I'd love to get some comments. Either on this page, our facebook page, or if any of you are Twitter fans. Follow us. ReTweet. Even word of mouth is ok. Tell all your friends. Really get out there and Shamelessly whore us out like I do!

If anyone wants to request an album review please comment. Tell us what you like. IF you tell us what you don't like I'll tell you to shove it. I'm just kidding. We want to improve and you are the only ones who can help us do that. Tell me what you think about my comments. You don't have to agree, there is this wonderful world of music out there with many different influences and sounds. It is such a beautiful place and everyone will like something different. I'm gonna do some album reviews this week hopefully one a day if I get some ideas from you guys. I think I've begged enough... Can't wait to hear back from everyone. Much Love be safe!

One Love,
