This music video by Muse reminds me of a Bruce Campbell meets Fire Fly meets Bruce Lee meets Tom Petty meets Muse.  Seriously, why did I not know of this before?!$#*

This is amazing…I don’t think I’ve seen something that has appealed to all my geekery juices before.  All I can do is smile and let the geek flow!

The following is an excerpt from transcript of KahrlZero’s NeoCon AM Radio Talk Show, “Zero Hour,” episode 46:  ”Fiduciary Controls and how they are a cover for the Leftist takeover of Real America.”

Segment guest: Cash Money

…

Kahrl Zero: …and that’s how fiduciary controls are a cover for the Leftist takeover of Real America.

Cash Money: Wow, I hadn’t really thought about it that way before.  Personally, I have recently found myself obsessed with Avril Lavigne.  Not her music or even her so much as her career.

KZ: How so? Because I know fuck-all.

CM: Well, you know her brand of music. Vacuous, if upbeat. Marketed as “The AntiBrittany,” though she really is the same thing with a different coat of paint and a different time signature.

KZ: (ugh) And more eyeliner.

CM: Right. Which is fine. Or was. She has, at time of recording, three albumns on the market with a fourth set to drop this summer.  However, she is now 25. And has an impending albumn. The question is, when does society demand something more from her.

Something showing an actual working adult brain capable of producing art for and adult audience.  In terms of being an entrepreneur she is no fool; she has and a clothing line through Kohl’s to help market a fashion-style that she single handed created and that swept the teeny-bopper world world by storm and  she has a fragrance with Proctor & Gamble that is expected to ear over $50 million in sales.  So that proves she has brains of some type.  Her 2007  albumn, “Best Damn Thing,” was the #4 albumn that year.  That’s impressive.  Here is my beef: the smash hit from that albumn was a ditty called “Girlfriend.”

It is, as you can see, complete teenybopper nonsense.  Boner inspiring teenybopper nonsense to be sure, but teenybopper nonsense all the same.  Her age at the time this video was made? TWENTY-FUCKING-TWO YEARS OLD.  So I ask: when do we, consumers of music, demand a soul from this person and adult thoughts and behavior? Or will she be singing this pap until she’s 47? Her original audience has outgrown her.  She’s probably two generations of 10-14 year old girls in seeing as girls age 15+ can’t really seem to abide her.

KZ: I think she needs to take all her money and take some time off.

CM: Oh, I think she needs to literally give herself some time to grow up.

KZ: Well, yeah.

CM: But that’s the interesting part!  For once in my life I am preoccupied by the outcome of something.  This is how sports fans must feel!  I am totally and utterly obsessed with seeing if she:

A) will grow up as an artist or

B) will attempt to tempt fate and be 15 forever like some sort of Peter Pan with ovaries

and in that specific case will that choice result in:

1) amusing if bizarre continued success or

2) complete abandonment and subsequent OBLIVION!

KZ: Or,

3) MADNESS!

CM: Yes. See, I think the MADNESS! is already there, lurking.  No more than it has consumed David Bowie, anyway.

KZ: Well, yeah, exactly.   She’ll end up like Burt Ward in the Adam West Batman showing up at old age in his costume.

CM: After beginning a successful visual effects company.   See: Karen Allen who played Marion in Raiders of The Lost Ark. Who has a knitwear design,  Karen Allen – Fiber Arts.

KZ: That’s why my obsession is Lady Gaga. As she has harnessed the MADNESS! and I do not think it will consume her.

CM: I have to give her credit, she sprang full formed from the head of Zeus. With a lot Zeus left on her.  Someone told me she was named “chief creative officer” for a line of imaging products for Polaroid.

KZ: No kidding? All I know is she used to write songs for other artists at Interscope.

CM:  Fucked if I know.

KZ: On that note, let’s open up the phone lines to see who wants to weigh in about fiduciary oversight.  Let’s go to Etruscan. You there?

[caller] Etruscan:  Hi KZ, Cash. Long time listener, first time caller. I really just wanted to say that I think you guys have really hit the nail on the head as far as fiduciary controls over pop icons are concerned. I mean, we’re entrusting these entities and their handlers with millions of misdirected tax dollars in write-offs to execute pop stardom in a reliable revenue generating fashion, and that’s clearly holding them back from achieving a greater measure of cultural influence. It’s a question of building trust, really. I’m holding out hope for Lady Gaga at least in the sense that she’s even more unpredictable than the balance in my 401k, but Lavigne is looking more like keeping Cash under the mattress. Sorry, no pun intended. But I think you’re right that we really need to push for more deregulation of pop stardom, and level the playing field so that a greater number of companies can get in there and be competitive. It will drive the overall cost of iconism down, which is what the free market was intended for.

KZ: Alright, good call, good call.

CM: Lavigne separated from her husband last year, so she might very well want to keep me in the vicinity of her mattress.

KZ: OK, next call.  Nekogirl, you’ve reached Zero Hour.

[caller] Nekogirl: For some reason this topic makes me think of Tiger Woods who is now in rehab for sex addition in Arizona. We all saw him grow up and become the “trust” spokesperson for Nike and that huge ass SUV with all the gold rims. As for Lady Gaga, yes that girl is the ‘moment’. She has stumbled upon an idea of how to change peoples’ thinking when it comes to the music industry. I enjoy watching her videos so much more than listening to her music. If I catch her on the radio, I begin to picture her in some elaborate costume that she has sown together herself. And swinging from the ceiling in a sexual escapade to bring on the “paparazzi” and dead girls screaming who adore her because of her bravery of expression. Is she self-expressing? I don’t think so. I think she is making a point. A point of style and change. Honestly, I don’t want to listen to her, I want to see her perform. Now, that is talent. Go TEAM Gaga! And regarding my opening comment on Tiger Woods, it’s unfortunate that he took on that fiduciary role for certain entertainment titles because now he has failed them. I don’t see his failure but no one can “trust” a cheating husband when he’s been caught.

KZ: Except in instances of international hostage negotiation, of course.

[caller]: So, what would that say about the companies he is representing? That they support an untrustworthy person to hold a role of representation? Nope, not Nike or Cadillac. I don’t blame them for dropping him but to make the man apologize publicly for being human is uncalled for.

CM: Cash Money’s rule #6: Never apologize.

KZ: On that note, I really MUST apologize because it’s become ZERO HOUR!

Just a little perk for your Sunday morning.

A new video. Music by Massive Attack; directed by Edouard Salier. And absolutely wonderful.

No critique needed, just grab the headphones, and pump up your screen resolution.

Doesn’t that feel better?

Spring is right around the corner, although it doesn’t seem like it should be. Where was summer, fall, and for that matter, winter? It was maybe cold for about two weeks and mostly mild for the rest. I am aware that winter isn’t over and we could get a cold-snap bringing us down into the single digits. But I digress…

The mood today is heavy.  I have a lot going on and sometimes metal is the best place for my mind to go when it’s crowded up there.  Buzzing in my ear, on the pod today…this little rocking song. It’s by a band that well, I think got put into the wrong catagory of rock music, but ah well.

So I had to find the song mashed up to a decent anime…Breaking Benjamin and FF for the win! Enjoy!
