Morrissey: Greatest Hits



I didn't grow up on Morrissey and The Smiths. In fact, if you had tried to play a cd like this in the car with me in high school I would have undoubtedly ejected it, thrown in out the window, punched you in the face, and commanded you to do some push ups or something to prove you weren't a p*ssy.

My how naive I was.

As obsessed as I am with all things reggae, punk, 90's hip hop and the like I do have very broad musical tastes. Still I have been late to many of the best artists and albums that music as a whole has to offer.

Morrissey was the most glaring omission from my iTunes for a long time. I was first introduced to Moz and The Smiths in 2004. I immediately liked The Smiths. Hearing "This Charming Man" for the first time was amazing. I dove into The Smiths, but didn't warm up to Morrisey sans The Smiths for quite some time. I have to credit my partner Justin for pushing the importance of Morrissey's solo catalogue into my ears. It took a minute, but I saw the light. Now I have 4 Moz albums that continually play all the way through from beginning to end and my life sonically is much better for it.

This copy of his new "Greatest Hits" comes in three different versions. Unfortunately, this is the chincy version that only contains 15 tracks. The other versions contain multiple discs, different studio versions, and other tracks.

Two of them are brand new: "That's How People Grow Up" and "All You Need Is Me."

Track Listing:

1. First Of The Gang To Die (from You Are The Quarry - UK No. 6)
2. In The Future When All’s Well (from Ringleader of the Tormentors - UK No .17)
3. I Just Want To See The Boy Happy (from Ringleader Of The Tormentors - UK No. 16)
4. Irish Blood, English Heart (from You Are The Quarry - UK No. 3)
5. You Have Killed Me (from Ringleader Of The Tormentors - UK No. 3)
6. That’s How People Grow Up (new)
7. Everyday Is Like Sunday (from Viva Hate - UK No. 9)
8. Redondo Beach (from Live From Earls Court - UK No. 11)
9. Suedehead (from Viva Hate - UK No. 5)
10. The Youngest Was The Most Loved (from Ringleader of the Tormentors - UK No. 14)
11. The Last Of The Famous International Playboys (from Bona Drag - UK No. 6)
12. The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get - (from Vauxhall & I - UK No. 8)

The Slickers: "Johnny You're Too Bad"

Lyrics from "Johnny You're Too Bad" by The Slickers


Walking down the road
With your pistol in your waist,
Johnny you're too bad.
Walking down the road
With your ratchet in your waist,
Johnny you're too bad.

You're just robbing and you're stabbing and you're looting and you're shooting
Now you're too bad.
You're just robbing and you're stabbing and you're looting and you're shooting
Now you're too bad.

One of these days when you hear a voice say come
Where you gonna run to
One of these days when you hear a voice say come
Where you gonna run to

You're gonna run to the rock for rescue
There will be no rock
You're gonna run to the rock for rescue
There will be no rock

Go For It!



The best pic of the bunch.

Zach Galifianakis is the best comedian in world and now he has first starring role in a major feature.

Brilliance.

Brutal



I am 26 years old and I watch more cartoons then my son. Yup, I said it.

Right now I am viewing a steady diet of Metalocalypse. It melts posers' faces off.

If you have time watch this episode below:

Metalocalypse New Episode

David Choe



I am very particular about that artists that I truly admire and follow. That being said I have never been into David Choe in the slightest. His work just simply wasn't something that I enjoyed aesthetically. He always seems to be everywhere and even with his huge following I still never payed his work any mind. I had heard stories from different friends of his about how out of pocket he is and how he just racked everything and would bomb on a moment's notice.

Enter his new documentary: Dirty Hands

After watching just the trailer I can see that the stories are quite true. I feel like this is a good lesson for me to learn and share. Although, you may not like someone's work or brand etc simply writing them off truly serves no purpose. Look for the qualities that you can admire or identify with. What has hating on someone ever accomplished? There isn't a single statue in the world that was built for a critic.

All that aside I am not about to go run out and grab a David Choe book, but I can totally respect his urge to grab a can of flat black and just bomb whatever comes into his mind just for the sheer fun and love of it. That is a feeling I can truly identify with.

Album Cover Artwork



This is what we do best.

Iron Maiden

It only took me 26 years, but I finally saw Iron Maiden live. Nick flew in from San Diego just for the occasion and the entire experience was unparalleled to anything I have done in a long time. We managed to snap a few pictures during the process.

Check em out.




The road to hell.



Stuck in concert traffic getting in I found this patriot. WTF? What are you going to boycott genius? Cheese? Champagne? You gotta love America.



Auburn is Indian country. It is also no man's land. This freight yard was calling so hard though.



Fireworks are metal. Mad Dog fireworks are VERY mteal.



One the other side of the street "Pyros R Us." Capitalism at it's finest.



Iron Maiden survival kit. Lip moisture is a definitely not metal though.



This was across the street from the casino. Seriously?



On our way into the belly of the beast. They started playing "Aces High" right as we started getting close. That's when I realized what we were about to see.



We were sort of far away, but it didn't really phase us. Look at the crowd up front.



The dude in front of Nick had this "Disturbed" hockey jersey on. He was also donning a "flaming" motorcycle bandana and knew EVERY word to EVERY f*cking song. His poor girlfriend was with him and just had this look on her face of sheer terror.



Taken during a little song called "The Number of The Beast." What you can't see is the awesome Satan statue that was hauled on stage.



We would have had a lot more photo snipes if the camera we had wasn't so sh*tty. I did however snag this little honey. She was head banging in the isle while smoking a Doral 100 Light (obviously) and she had on a 3X size Rush t shirt. There was 20 other chicks in our section that wore the EXACT same kit. Awesome.



What do you get when you pay $45 a ticket? Oh I don't know just a full set design complete with changing back drops, pyro technics up the ass, explosions, moving statues, fog machines, lights, and face melting solos on the big screen. The art work was so detailed. Even the dude's drum kit was airbrushed in the Egyptian theme, I mean every last tam, snare, everything.



Nick and I kept our eyes peeled for hooked up vans. We only saw this one. Kind of "faggy" for a Maiden show, but an "E" for nice effort and "T" for nice try.



Metal face.



Tour t-shirt. I will wear it everyday for 2 weeks or until embarrassment or smell tell me otherwise.

They played all the old sh*t. We heard every song we wanted except for "Hallowed Be Thy Name."

Oh and when they played "The Trooper" lead singer Bruce Dickinson came running out in full British red coat garb with a tattered British flag. Best thing I've seen all year. Hands down.
