interpol

they’re baaaaaaaaaaack. 19 yo me is super psyched! remember that shitty “our love to admire” record? well, “barricade” is prob better than anything on that, save maybe “the lighthouse”, but how much is that saying? you decide!

woooooo rock and roll friday. on this fresh new remix of “let’s go surfing”, the raves make the drums tune a fave, by owning the shit out of the sustain function/pedal/button on their guitars/amps/rock and roll soundboards/laptops. we’re feeling it.

right, so here it goes. although now relocated (LA BOS), (and if we haven’t given it away by now!) the b3sci crew is cleveland-born and bred. blah blah blah, anyway, this shit’s been all over the internet the last 24 hours/entire summer/last 3-4 years/since bron was first drafted. but anyway, miami is way cooler than cleveland, no shit. we get that. but to punk out your hometown on natl tv? bron, please. and the whole akron/cleveland thing is bullshit. all that really separates ak and cle is 30 miles of I-77. it’s like asking someone from texas if he’s from dallas, and dude replying, “fuck nah! i’m from fort WORTH!” (accent on worth). or “nah, dude, you thought WRONG! i rep that g-a-r-l-a-n-d (garland, tx) “minneapolis? fuck what ya heard! st. paul is in the building!”. keep it classy in mia, lbj

COMMENTARY: Independence Day (1996) .. PC or MAC?

alien

so i was watching the film Independence Day the other day, i mean why not right? it’s fourth of july weekend and i guess that’s what you do. and everytime i watch the film i think (other than, man, why wasn’t harvey fierstein’s character more developed), holy shit why didn’t the aliens invade packing mac computers? RIGHT?! i mean a computer virus actually wipes them out?! c’mon.. as was called out in the movie, the aliens knew when to attack us, how to attack us, all that bullshit, supposedly studied the human race for decades and then they neglect the whole mac/pc virus thing???

anyway, can you say bitchin’ sequel? the aliens return + macs……i see the screenplay (this is just an idea) playing out in three basic phases, 1) aliens blow shit up….this is good for at least 45 minutes of film time, 2) Goldblum’s fuckin’ puzzled…..this should go on for about 45 minutes too….Goldblum puzzled = $$$$$$, trust us! 3) we make millions. you know Vivica Fox’s plastic surgery fund is runnin’ a bit thin, she’d be down for sure and we could prob get Bill Pullman to work for weed. so Roland Emmerich, ball is in your court, dude, call us!
