@Epitome: Yeah, any animal that looks as dumb as a fish definitely deserves to get eaten. :p
@Venison: So did the alligator taste especially good or just as good as a normal hot dog?

I like when I can partake in musical gluttony (i.e. buying 9 cds at once) but I'm always somewhat overwhelmed and not sure which one to listen to next. Usually I try to focus on no more than 3 CDs at a time which I'll listen to repeatedly.

On my holidays in France some years ago they were offering Frogs and Snails in literally every French restaurant and so I ended up eating at Greek and Italian restaurants or Mc Donald's every day.

Hmmm, I might actually prefer to eat frogs than eat at McDonalds... :dead

Yeah, same here, it can feel a bit overwhelming sometimes. I still have a bunch of CDs I haven't got round to listening to at all yet - including a few from last Xmas! :eek

I still haven't managed to listen to Bass Communion's Cenotaph for almost half a year.

I do that. When I get new music, I put at the top of my CD rack and I start from the first one I bought (that day) and I go straight to the top, I don't skip any over CDs and I become overwhelmed with how much new music I have.

Speaking of which, I'm going to do that right now.

Anyone see Metalocalypse? The episode where Toki says, "You guys didn't tell me it's Kitty-Whiskers Monday!"

I own about 35 CD's that I have yet to listen to... I am overwhelmed.

I don't own any Bass Communion stuff. Shocking, I know.

Wow. Fuck Dave Mustaine.

I've said it once, I'll say it again: can Metallica kick him out again?

I couldn't give a damn about any politican (incl. Obama) but Mustaine would deserve even being kicked out of Guns'n'Roses, Pussy Galore and Nickelback again :D

Not a bad listening strategy. My strategy is usually to listen to whatever I'm most excited for first which could (and has) lead to albums getting left behind. :(

@Ryon and Epitome: Wow, sounds like you guys have it worse than me! The hardest part is recognizing that you are overwhelmed with music and to actually STOP buying new CDs. At least, that's the hardest part for me, haha!

Concerning Mustaine's comments, yeah they were definitely dumbass comments and sometimes I wonder if his mind isn't messed up from all the drugs he did. He is still an incredible guitar player though and I would argue that Megadeth is easily a better overall band than Metallica. Hell, I might argue that thrash wouldn't exist without Dave Mustaine. No matter what stupid shit he says or does, he'll still be a metal prodigy.

Dave Mustaine - pissing the world off since 1980

For any fans of AVGN, looks like James has gone literal with his YKWBS series, haha!

James Rolfe is the man :D
I can't think of any other DIY artist that I love that much.

James posted in the comments that he's moving on to Board James next so I decided to look that up for the first time. I watched them all and thought by far the funniest was this one:



Reminded me of a board game I used to play as a kid called Nightmare. It's soooo funny.

Best episode, hands down, is the doggie doo one.
The quote of James is so epic:
"Seriously, this is a game about a dog that shits!" :D

No way, certainly the best Board James episode is the "Mr Bucket" one. That one was an epic and it was fucking hilarious!


Anyone listen to Frank Ocean's debut album "Channel Orange"? I think it's pretty awesome personally. Check this song out!

^Glad someone agrees with me! :)

Wow, school starts back up for me in less than a week. Almost time for senior year. Guess I should start thinking seriously what I want to go to college for soon, eh?

I just listened to Mellon Collie for the first time in quite a while. As much as I love Oceania, it's leagues behind MCIS. The vocals, the tone of the guitar, the song-writing, the lyrics, the drumming... couldn't really be any better. It's so sad that musicians now (including Billy) fall so far short of this. Then again, not many got close at the time either ;)

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness is the pinnacle of human civilization and we're hopelessly drifting further from it.

Agreed on eveything in your post epitome.
The best classic rock album of the 90s by far.

^What do you mean by classic rock album? Classic 90s alternative seems more fitting.

Yesterday at work, I operated the Ferris Wheel all day. You know how many cute girls I saw? 5! That's a terribly low count! They must have all been at the waterpark or something! :(

I guess I should've been a lifeguard, not a ride operator. ;)
