Rad music in my car 2/11/2010

Ok beeecheeees!! This is the new and old mu-sick thats been playing my heart strings the last couple months. Jrrrrrr, i do love it!!

My Chemical Romance (Danger Days)


Im not going to lie, Black Parade was a bit of a let down to me... the two albums before that was a combo of beutiful and an insane kid mixed with billy talent, and the Black parade that was just boring. But this new album, Danger Days, is soooooooo rad! Dont be suprised if something smells funny, cus it'll knock your socks off!!!

MIDTOWN (forget what you know)


MIDTOWN (Living well is the best revenge)


I love MIDTOWN thats all im goin to say... seems very poppy, but good lyrics and rad melodies.

SUM 41 (Does this look infected)


I bought this album again, cus.... its the shit! I remember 8/9 years ago i was in Margate with my brother Kruger and best friend Garth and we switched between this CD an Black Sabbath for 2 weeks straight!! This and Chuck, the raddest SUM 41 albums!!

Pennywise (Full Circle)


Cus, it needs to be there when you need some So-Cal!!

Brazil (The philosophy of velocity)

This band i accidently started listeng to cus it was part of my studying mix, somehow, on my bro's mp3 cds... and i loved these songs for like 2 years before i found our what the name of the band was.... weird... but fukn rad... takes a while to get used to tho...

The Cavalier (Album due to release, you can come have a listen in my car)


This is just the raddest CD to come out in this country in a long time, well recorded, good music, good lyrics. Right up my alley with some punk beats, melodic vocals and a bit of screaming.... For those that can let go of their small little minds, with "it doesnt fall in my sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub genre, so it sucks", or "that guy looks so arrogant" attitude, this will be one of the best albums you will ever have...

Dance Gavin Dance (Downtown Battle Mountain)

Good one... im getting lazy to type.... but it is really good tho... im doing it an injustice by not elaborating. but i have ADD and cant concentrate for so long... im goin to have a lil walk before i start typing the last one...

Blink 182 (Enema of the state)

fuk, these dudes just have the same sense of humour as me and mix it in with some seriousness and this roller coaster of meaningfuljokedarklightsillyseriousness is just amazing! So rad listening to this again. People were always so easy to say they're lame cus its commercial... fuk that, they're rad!!!

and so are some people...
but mostly... neh....

Music featuring in my car today 22/04/2010

I am actually a punk rock/emo/screamo/hardcore music lover by heart, but i also like indie and, well, lots of other bands as well, as long as i can relate with the emotion created by the mixture of the music and the lyrics, i like it. Thats why im not a fan of instrumental music (in general)

Ok, there's actually a weird mix in my CD pouch at the moment, and this is what is in it:

Funeral for a friend (Memory an Humanity)

Memory and Humanity i think is again one of FFAF's most awesome CD's because they have brought back their harder and more upbeat feel from their earlier albums, but also mixed in some of the beauty from "The Great Wide Open, which got a little boring for me at times".

-

Alkaline trio (This Addiction)

Ah, Alkaline trio with all their dark irony.... I love it tho! But this album im sorry to say was a bit.... average... This addiction is the best track, then there's a few more cool ones... the rest, i dont NOT like it, but i dont love it.... its just.... average... .but i will still buy their next album.

-

The Vandals (Look What I Almost Stepped In) & (Hitler Bad Vandals Good)

This band is hilarious, holy Shit!!! Its a weird feeling driving alone in your car and singing along to this and laughing so hard at the same time that your eyes tear up.... then realizing the car next to you has been laughing at you for the last 4 blocks, cus you look so rediculous!!

but they are amazing, fukn sharp lyrics! and it takes you months to decifer what he is singing cus he sings super fast, but when you GET IT, is like a revelation of funnyness!!

-

Every Time I Die (Gutter Phenomenon)

What can I say.... Madness!!! This album is just insane, it never stops and goes.... ok, here's a break down... no... just hits you in the face like a anime movie, slomo, for like an half an hour, then BAM!! knocked the fuk out!

-

The Bled (Silent Treatment)

haha!! this album cover reminds me of Kung Pow, somehow... anyway... yeah this album is hard. not all awesomeness for me... some cool parts that i like, so i listen out for those, but i guess its a good one.

-

Billy Talent (I & II & III)

All the Billy Talent albums are awsome!!! I think the III'rd one is maybe slightly less awsome, but the other two definately some of the best storytelling and creative music I have heard in sooooo long!! This will always be in my car!

-

The Hives (Veni Vedi Vicious)

I have gone through a redescovering of The Hives and its sick! You just cant help partying to this music. Doesnt matter if i have a hangover, a shitty day at work, just broke up with my gf, dog shat in front of your room... nothing. You will get amped! Hahaha!! people have laughed at me soooo hard for partying in my car in traffic! Quite embarresing actually, but i'll keep on doing it!

Thanks The Hives. hehe!

-

Taking back sunday (New Again)

It was obviously hard to follow such a rad album "Louder now", and almost anything would be dissapointing.... But "New Again" is actually very very good! I really enjoi this album alot and its one of those that grow on you the more you listen to it. and thats usually the best ones. So... RAD, but not as rad as Louder now.

-

Escape the fate (This war is ours)

Escape the Fate is just the shitballs!! Their previous album, "There's no sympathy for the dead" was the perfect mix between good clean vox and screaming and the style was emo/metal all in one!!! but not too metal that you feel all metally but just enough, to make the guitar sick!! This war is ours, has a new vocalist for the band, because the previous vocalist is in jail after apparently killing someone and ironically tried to escape his fate by running to Las Vegas... well thats the hear-say version... new vocalist, in my opinion, better in vocals, but Ronnie Radke was Rad'er!

-

I think im goin to end there, there is still Less than Jake, Thursday and many more, but i'll talk about them next time... I might actually have to do some work today...

MK Awards

Ok, so last nite was the MK music awards...

The show they put on was amazing!

It was a Circus theme and they had everything

from trapeze artists to guys on stilts,

the tiniest little people and girls with

golden boobs... nice... Oh, and Natalie Roos was awsome!!!

The live performances of the artists were also

real awsomeness!!!

The awards on the other hand was

reasonably fair, in general, but then

there are people like Snotkop and

Nicholas Louw.... ugh...

OH MY FUK!!!

The lamest people in the world!! The only phrase that Snotkop could

say was "sex sells", damn, he is sooooo creative!! and he won the "Porn

star award". Just because the guy is a chronic older man gay porn fan

does not make him a porn star.

This is what the douchbag looks like:

u tell me if he is a porn star or just creepy.

Then the dumb chop Nicholas Louw

wins an award for the best pop tune/video of the

year...

I must say, the bar was set very high in

this catagory... Here's the compition:
1: Kurt Darren

2: Eden (Sorry Chris, you are rad tho)

I always knew I hated Nicholas Louw

but last nite his acceptance went something like this:
"Yeah, i decided a long time ago that i will make commercial music

because otherwise you wont make money"

Fuk him! thats against anything an artist

should stand for! Fukn pisses me off when people

who have no appreciation for music get awards and is all "ya, i dont really want to be doing this" and now he is supposedly a South african artist!

Thats why the music industry in South Africa

still needs to grow, so much. Because there are

people that actually think that kak

afrikaans propaganda techno

sokkie shit is music!!

Well, maybe thats too harsh, i guess the people that do like what they do and

thats the music they make, i respect, but its mostly just

money making schemes, and that takes away listeners from the

real musical artists.

Lets hope people get more open minded!

Lets kick this off... just a party post...

Hmmmmmm first blog post....

This is a bout thoughts of radness and... well... not radness....

It will always have to do with random fashion i like, music

and parties and what our band (Swart) has been up to...

This was one awsome parti!!

Yeah it looks a little rough... its because it was,

this one ended the next nite, Jay still played a show,

about straight 46hours of partying, yipes!

Jay (The Cavalier) & Frannie vanDee

and some days you just feel like leopard print.

and sometimes its two days

Coffee bay! sick! The raddest exclusive

place in South Africa! only like 400 people at

a time in this beautiful bay! Feels like

you are shipwrecked when you are there,

and people love it so much that they just stay there forever!

REALLY!!

Nearest shop, 110km... (and its a shittie one)

Well, i think these three pics gives

you an idea of whats to come, not all

debauchery tho... So welcome!
