Music to Kill to

[aggienaut]

   When I ride around with Bobby, his truck has no CD player, nor even a tape player, so we are stuck with the radio. I've found that he usually ends up with it on this hip-hop station most of the time. Now I've never been fond of this kind of music, but I had managed to avoid it heretofore at least enough not to realize they only ever have like three songs in their rotation. There's the song where every line ends in "me" (oh now there's a clever rhyme), the one where 80% of the lines are "go 'head girl get down," and the one where the singer is talking about the slimey ass pickup lines he uses (though in context he acts like he's the shit). Also, how can any female be into this music?? -- every single song on the hip-hop rotations is ridiculously chauvinistic and sexist.

   With Jeremy the fair is more varied because he has a CD player and we usually listen to his CDs, which tend to be in a generally indie direction. Once we committed mass bee murder to the postal service.
   Anyway, since Jeremy has a CD player and decent musical taste, I thought I'd burn a CD of my favourite music for us to rock out to on occasion. So I selected a variety of what I consider to be some of the best songs ever written. In the order they are on on the CD I made (which is very roughly in order of best to 22nd best, but arranged to space out songs by the same artist as much as possible), they are:

1. Flogging Molly - Selfish Man
2. Against Me! - Pints of Guinness Make You Strong
3. Dropkick Murphys - Drinking and Driving
4. Momsex - Zombies vs Pirates
5. Bloodhound Gang - I Hope You Die
6. Cocksparrer - Take `Em All
7. Cockney Rejects - Oi Oi Oi
8. D Generation - Hatred
9. Flogging Molly - Devil's Dance Floor
10.Against Me! - Walking Is Still Honest
11.Dropkick Murphys - Which Side Are You On?
12.Momsex - Necrophilia (A Metaphor)
13.Flogging Molly - Tobacco Island
14.Dropkick Murphys - Irish Stout vs German Lager
15.Momsex - Stuart
16.Flogging Molly - The Worst Day Since Yesterday
17.Dropkick Murphys - Do Or Die
18.Flogging Molly - Another Bag of Bricks
19.Dropkick Murphys - Boys on the Docks
20.Flogging Molly - Black Friday Rule
21.Flogging Molly - Drunken Lullabies
22.Dropkick Murphys - Gonna be a Blackout Tonight

Picture of the Day

Previously on Emosnail
   Two Years Ago Friday: The Last Time I Saw Brianna LeMay & Carissa Romanini - They randomly showed up at Diedrichs one day. I think I hadn't seem them in nine months and I haven't seen them since. I'd really like to get back in touch with them.
   Two Years Ago Yesterday: Being xHoney.Bee.Corex - if only I knew, eh? Manned a booth for the OC Beekeepers Assn at the OC Faire.
   Year Ago Friday: Show at Jesska Ornstein's House - Jack Bighead (Robin Kivlin's band) plays. ambiguouscase and eatrice are also there. Also I poll Emosnail readers to see how well they are paying attention: only a little over half of you got the sea lion's name correct (Bolderic), readers overwhelmingly indicated that Kristy "possesses breathtaking beauty," and most of you totally failed to guess where my father and his father before him were born (Rio de Jeniero, Brazil, NOT Kilkenny, Ireland. Sheesh).. and more.
   Year Ago Today: R.I.P. Eric Bartrum - and polls indicate that most readers (35.7%), if they were to name Bolderic the Sea Lion a name other than Bolderic, they would name him "Trogdor of the Sea," followed by "The Sneak" (21.4%).

I'm wearing one of my Flizogging Molly shirts right now! Hee, Sasha jocked your voice message! Missing.

I actually find the Country stations to be the most tolerable of the radio stations when a 'college' station isn't available; and sometimes even when one is.

Cocksparrer - Take `Em All

You don't even know the Momsex songs? Download them asap! (they're linked from the entry)

And research the rest with the swiftness!

man, i remember that show

that was a year ago?!

I feel old

ohhhhh and

hip-pop crap on the radio is very demeaning to women...
the feminist part of me just wants to rage and say to all women who support that crappy chauvinistic "music", "You are only perpetuating the status quo! Calling yourself a ho only lets more men call you a ho, and you're just helping society demean women!!!" But then again...I wish they'd keep those nice dance beats and put some good, fun lyrics to them, lyrics that don't make me feel like some cheap hooker.

Feminist Rap

[emosnail.livejournal.com]

There should be feminist rap and hip-hop. That would be some funny shit -- they could rap about how they make their man go make them a sandwich and then they go downtown and check out all the fly man honeys...

[emosnail.livejournal.com]
