Loyal readers! I'm sure you have noticed a drop off in posting in the past view weeks. Impatiently waiting for updates to what is surely the most important blog on the internet. Well, school has been destroying my soul and pushing me to the brink of ending it all. I have actually decided to abstain from alcohol and any other inhibiting substances until I am DONE my thesis. Now if you know me in real life you know I can be a pretty serious binge drinker. This is the first time I have gone longer than 6 days of no drink since AT LEAST 2005. I am pretty happy that I haven't gotten cold sweats, shakes and hallucinations from going cold turkey off the granpa juice. Anyways, it's not positive, it sucks, drinking rules. But it proves one thing I do whatever the hell I want to do and I am slave to nothing but my dick. I posted on my facebook that I was straight edge till I was done school and some of my edge friends got all pissed (shout out to real as fuck BLAKE! love you buddy). This post is gonna be all STRAIGHT EDGE.
Let's start with the obvious choice. Before I got into hardcore or even knew that a hardcore scene existed in my city I was down with MINOR THREAT. I was pretty nerdy in high school and I hated jocks and hated everything they did. Drinking and doing drugs was a major reason why I stopped being friends with my elementary crew. I wasn't down with that shit and I was scared of my dad murdering me haha. 2 videos of the song that started it all STRAIGHT EDGE.
Better sound on this one.
Better crowd in this one.
Following up with one of my favorite bands in high school BANE. I was kinda bummed missing them in Ottawa the other day but whatever I just couldn't go. I saw them just a few months ago and there some serious drama which sucked because they didn't play THIS SONG on motherfucking EDGE DAY. SUPERHERO! My number one song during my straight edge till I'm legal phase haha. Whatever that shit probably saved my life so I'm not sweating how cliché and loser it is. This song motivated me so much. Imagine a 250 pound version of me wearing khaki pants that are too short, payless shoes, and a golf shirt barreling down the halls of multi-ethnic hood school hating the fucking world. This was the song on my discman, on motherfucking repeat. The must click video of the day. CRAZY SING ALONG.
And finally probably the best edge song just by how hilariously awesome it is. STRAIGHT EDGE REVENGE by PROJECT X.
BONUS EDGE.
I give you a straight up HARD band The Wrong Side on suggestion of lazeinski. Couldn't find 2 words but whatever.

life as (looking for) a shorty shouldn't be so rough
Today's theme is love. My love. My love for celebrity musician ladies. Simple hotness is not enough to make the list. It's a conjuncture of beauty, STYLE and my love of their music. The women you will see today are all celebrities that, if I met them, the situation would become ultra awkward due to me actually being in love with them. I would abandon my own children for a simple afternoon of hand holding with these mamasitas.
First up is a young woman who has gotten a lot of attention these past years. You might already know her story about her Sri Lankan origin so I'm not going to bore you with that. M.I.A.'s music is straight up awesome arular and kala are easily in my most listened albums on my ipod. She is also a great visual artist and her badassness is unmatched (she was on a terrorism watch list in the u.s.). She also talks about the world wide ghetto which appeals to my white man's guilt. seriously though her videos reminds of the last city bus to leave my high school aka united nations of hood. My chances of getting with her: medium. due to the fact I have U.K. citizenship and could relocate just for her if need be. The song is her first single GALANG I chose this because its the video that showcases her beautiful face the most. When I saw her live I felt like what I imagine first time heroine use to be like.
In a similar vein we have french electrop pop/rap superstar YELLE. Now she's a special case for me. Her biggest hit and the video I am showcasing JE VEUX TE VOIR is a straight up diss track against a previously featured artist Cuizinier. I think she realizes that her fame is based off of his name though. It's like a hot girl that you will temporarily sacrifice key guy friendships for. But I dunno she's so hot she might just be "the girl who ruined iain"for my friends. Sigh... My chances of getting with her: high she's pretty much my age, we have the same native tongue and we have similar interests and backgrounds. Her style is out of this world and she's so hot that she almost makes me feel ugly :( When I saw her live it was like having little cherubs playing music in my heart.
Finally we have CAT POWER aka Chan Marshall. The odd one out. Not poppy or fun but folky and sad. Her voice is super haunting. At first I didn't like her music that much cause it sort of depressed me too much but as I have grown older and the weight of modern life crushes my soul I have started listening to this on a daily basis. Earlier in the blog's life I said that depressed girls suck me in, well she falls into this category. The song is called LIVED IN BARS which I find to be more upbeat than a lot of her stuff. Like for the other videos today it was chosen for hotness showcase more than me loving the song. chances of me and Chan being together: very low. She's a lot older than me and has other shit to deal with. If it would work out her bummed out state would be a black hole consuming and destroying all my love. THAT BEING SAID when I saw her in concert I swear to fucking god we made eye contact and it was magical. (i totally sounded like BSB fan there.).
BONUS: not françoise hardy because she will be back later BUT some MINOR THREAT! wait what? Check the clip at around 35 seconds a girl comes up and starts singing along. I love you mystery girl, wherever you are! The song is called FILLER and it's amazing.
