Now Playing Tracks

I was born in the RIGHT decade

I’m sick of all these people whining about “I was born in the wrong year/decade.” You know, the ones who whine and complain that nothing good came out of the music world after 1989.

Well fuck the lot of you. I was born in 1990, exposed to music in 2002 and proud of it. I grew up with Linkin Park, Disturbed, Godsmack and System of a Down

Daily Dosage of Metal CCCVI

(lol, for the longest time, my parents were convinced that Geddy Lee had the supernatural ability to play bass and keyboard at the same time during the synth-interlude of this song: even after I saw them in concert and saw Lee take both hands off the bass as he played the interlude, they were convinced that he was still playing both at the same time.)

A modern-day warrior
Mean, mean stride
Today’s Tom Sawyer
Mean mean pride

Though his mind is not for rent
Don’t put him down as arrogant
His reserve, a quiet defense
Riding out the day’s events
The river

What you say about his company
Is what you say about society!
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the drift

The world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his skies are wide

Today’s Tom Sawyer
He gets high on you
And the space he invades
He gets by on you

No his mind is not for rent
To any god or government
Always hopeful, yet discontent
He knows changes aren’t permanent
But change is

What you say about his company
Is what you say about society!
Catch the witness, catch the wit
Catch the spirit, catch the spit

The world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his eyes are wide

Exit the warrior
Today’s Tom Sawyer
He gets high on you
And the energy you trade
He gets right on to the friction of the day

The Tudors 30-Day Challenge; Day 03
Favorite Wife - Anne Boleyn

For many of the same reasons I articulated yesterday, Anne is my favorite of Henry’s wives. She was just as passionate, stubborn, strong-willed, politically savvy, pious, and intelligent as Katherine of Aragon. She suffered (in my opinion) a much crueler fate. Most importantly, as far as history is concerned, she is the mother of Elizabeth I. Natalie, though I liked most of the wives’ actresses, delivered arguably the most powerful overall performance and was incredibly in-touch with her character. Anne was, in her hands, truly a Queen, and she died a Queen as well.  Anne also had the most passion and connection with Henry on the show, and the chemistry between them was intense.

(enough Heaven and Hell! I need some Black Sabbath and Ozzy in my life. That will be my New Year’s resolution.)

Mr. Crowley, what went down in your head?
Oh, Mr. Crowley, did you talk to the dead?
Your lifestyle to me seems so tragic
With the Thrill of it All
You fooled all the people with magic
Yeah! You waited on Satan’s call

Mr. Charming, did you think you were pure?
Mr. Alarming, in nocturnal rapport
Uncovering things that were sacred
Manifest on this earth
Oh, conceived in the eye of a secret
And they scattered the afterbirth

Mr. Crowley, won’t you ride my white horse?
Mr. Crowley, it’s symbolic of course
Approaching a time that is classic
I hear that maiden’s call
Approaching a time that is drastic
Standing with their backs to the wall

Was it polemically sent?
I wanna know what you meant
I wanna know
I wanna know what you meant, yeah!
