Just seen the track list for the new Offspring album. Only 12 songs and some pretty crappy titles, such as Cruising California (Bumpin' In My Trunk), I Wanna Secret Family (With You) and Slim Pickens Does The Right Thing And Rides The Bomb To Hell.

The clip of the new single sounded alright, but pretty standard stuff for them. So I'm thinking the album's going to be a bit of a let-down...

Three weeks left of school.

Good thing too, I'm tired of sitting next to 18 year old twerps who recently discovered what pot is.

Fuck, you're not shitting me, those are some of the REAL titles? Oh boy....

Well it can't be worse than Splinter....right?....(I hope...)

I gave up on the Offspring ages ago. Solid band and all, but they just keep doing the same thing over and over. I lost interest.

Shame, as their last album is their best (in my opinion).

I'll give it a listen and see what I think

*Update: About half way through the album and it's still very "eh, whatever" to me. Just doesn't seem to have any attitude or personality anymore. The self titled album back in the day was the shit. That had attitude. This just seems to be trying to follow the same formula but falling a little short because there's nothing daring or unpredictable about it.

*Update 2: "Shit is fucked up" is a pretty awesome song. By far the coolest one on here.

Wow, this has to be the most awsome video game collection ever:

Take it back Epitome, you know I hate it when you talk shit about poor Ixnay!

I've been waiting for the new Offspring album since I saw em on RAFRAG tour. The album better be at least decent for how friggin long it took em to put it out.
IMO, Smash and Ignition were the two best Offspring albums, followed probably by Conspiracy.

Hey guys. I just have a few Pumpkins questions...

Does anyone know what the best Siamese Dream live recording is? Aside from Earphoria, I mean a full show. Also would like to know the same for Gish, I just downloaded the London Hotel, since there seems to be some buzz there...

Also, just out of curiosity, was Billy ever with Darcy? I know she was with James, but I remember reading she was with Billy as well, just never knew whether or not it was true.

I always thought the two Metro shows and the London show at the Astoria were the best.

Those are the both the days they played at the Metro.

Try this one for a Gish era show, I couldn't find too many of those.

As for Billy and Darcy being together, I really don't think so but you never know what happens on those tour buses.

I was really looking forward to this too, after really enjoying RAFRAG and with the long gap since that album, I expected they'd come up with something good. Plus, in a recent interview Noodles was talking about this being a more old-school sound.

But, from the clip of the first single, it sounds just like a typical song from any of their last 4 albums and those track names have me worried. I fear we are in for another Splinter here - i.e. a few really good songs, a few bad ones. Still, maybe I'll be surprised...

Well. You can't spell problems without PMS

Not that I have stopped taking pictures with a real camera or anything, but latley I've been super into street photography with my camera phone, it's 8MP so it is not terrible quality, but still not the absolute best, but that is the point, capturing my current surrounds on a whim.

I take a lot of pictures while driving (not safe I know), pictures of just my day to day life. I'm kinda obsessed with it. I have easily over 500 pictures on my SD card. Now I kinda want to do something with these. I don't really want to use Flickr. I don't really upload them to Facebook either.

I was thinking a Blogspot or a Tumblr, but Tumblr seems so cliche and hipster to me..I guess the entire thing is kinda hipster. Oh well I guess. Any suggestions?

Haha, true. But these girls problems don't stem from PMS but rather from being tone deaf.

So I'm sick from some sinus infection and I took the day off yesterday and went and saw the doctor. He wrote me a school excuse and said that I should take the day off today if I felt lousy. I probably feel decent enough to go to school today but fuck it, he already wrote an excuse for today as well and I don't feel 100%, so I'm staying home, haha.

Eve 6 was kind of a cool band back at the beginning.

Speaking of which, I've been really enjoying the new album.



This song has the great line "despite all my rage I'm just a rat in a cage". If only BC could write lyrics as good as that...
