In Da Newz - "Jacqueline Trousdale, Phoenix Mom, Accused Of Injecting Child With Meth"

Even though I don’t really take interest in the Huff Po, they do have some interesting examples of WTF-ism.

Like this article - a combination of bad mothering and junkie/tweeker logic.

Read it and you’d be saying WTF as well.

America's Test Kitchen: This Summer, Beef Will Cost You A Whole Lot More: Your summer barbecue...

Does that mean no more BOGO rib-eye steaks at Sobeys?

[americastestkitchen:

This Summer, Beef Will Cost You A Whole Lot More: Your summer barbecue just got pricier, thanks to multi-year droughts in states that produce most of the country’s beef. Last year ranchers had to cull deep in to their herds due to feed shortages, and some even got rid of their cattle all…

Midweek Music Meltdown: Do we really really want, do you really really want a musical about the Spice Girls?

Do I really really care?

Midweek Music Meltdown: This is from the latest Stranglers release called “Giants”. They still sound like old-school Stranglers. They still sound like they never even left the seventies.

Unfortunately, this vid has only 147 views on YouTube.

Parents: teach your (grand-)children that at one point, music was made by humans.

Midweek Music Meltdown: Who would’ve though that these cats (or at least JJ) would still be alive and kicking, recording and touring in 2013. Many bands that have started in the mid 70s would’ve packed it in and either work at normal jobs, veg or be pushing up daisies.

Even though they were classified “punk” back then (hell, EMI France once proclaimed them as the “most punk of all punk bands” for fuck sakes), their music eventually transcended the genre, predating new wave, the Manchester/Factory Records/Hacienda scene and Britpop.

So let’s give it up for the most punk of punk bands, The Stranglers. Still rocking in 2013.

(It would’ve been nice if Hugh Cormwell were back in the fold, but life happens, eh?)

Other People's Work: "It Happened Here: The cold winter night Muhammad Ali warmed up a Toronto rec centre"

In an instant, the gymnasium grew still. He stood in the doorway: tall and dark and strong, wearing a parka. He pulled his hood back.

Oddly enough, this was never mentioned or even hinted-at in the Will Smith-starred biopic “Ali”. Which is a shame, because the subsequent fight became the talk of the town - and the boxing world - for decades.

Tuesday Music Meltdown: I may have posted this before, but to me, this was Sabbath.

In fact, every day, I would come home from school and drive my family insane playing this tune.

Needless to say, in hindsight, high school sucked.

Tuesday Music Meltdown: Don’t you wish that all festivals can be like California Jam? Don’t you wish that all bands should have a unique sound and not be so goddamned homogenized?

Should I get the new Sabs release? I don’t know. I think I like the old Sabs better.

Tuesday Music Meltdown: It’s true that all metal songs can be derivative. But in the end, it’s all about the delivery, the presentation, and the power to back it up.

That’s why there are people who can handle LOG.

Tuesday Music Meltdown: Once in a while, we need a good angry song.

Once upon a time, Papa Roach came out with “Last Resort”, which wasn’t a bad “Nu-Metal” tune. This one is much superior.
