The new Ke$ha songs are (unsurprisingly) bangin' choons

Whenever I tell people I genuinely like Ke$ha, they think I'm being a wind up merchant. I'm not. I'm really not. As the 'pop music I like' section on this blog has stated over and over again, I love annoying girls rapping in a sing song voice about partying, and the Ke$hmeister is the be$t in the bu$iness.

It's not even a looks thing, the 'David Bowie in a blonde wig' look never really did it for me. So seeing photos of miss Kesha Sebert in her graduation photo do not horrify me as much as they might.

Do not particularly want without all the glitter either

Moving on, the first single of new album WARRIOR, is the song Die Young, a catchy ditty that furthers the themes expressed on Animal. This theme, as you might have guessed is partying, having fun and living in the moment. In other words #YOLO. And this is the (marketing) genius that is Ke$ha (or at least the team behind her). She 'gets' it. Young ppl liek fun.

A lot has been made, by the top heads that are Youtube commenters, of the imagery in the video (inverted cross, triangles etc). Apparently there is some srs business behind this stuff, I just think she is tapping in to the Madonna/Lady Gaga style of presentation. While the four chord intro is similar to a plethora of songs (the first to mind is Va Va Voom by Nicki Minaj) the tempo drop of the drum chorus is pretty sweet as a buildup into the dance part, right?

Even better (if that's possible!?) is 'C'mon', which has been posted as an audio track online. While the chorus isn't as banging as I'd like, the vaguely faux-reggae verse and DAT SING SONG RAP!

I've only listened to it about 3 times so far so I'm hoping the chorus grows on me. Pumped for the album! Srs.

There is a The Room game and it's sweet

This may be old news but over at Newgrounds you can play The Room Tribute game!

As you can see it is truly a work of art, put together by real fans of the film, incorporating the look, feel and dialogue that we have all grown to love.

HOW GOOD IS THAT?!

Some Disgruntled Old Men cover ALKALINE TRIO

On rare occasions, at full moon when the planets align just in the right way, the Internet Godz meet and decide to throw their loyal subject Alanso a gift. Tonight was one of these times. Aware of my liek for Alkaline Trio, cover versions of songs, old ppl having fun and cringey music videos, I was bequeath the following video...

This is one of my favourite songs from Crimson and despite all the negative comments on Ootube I think the sound quality is good for a live performance and overall this is a pretty good cover. However...

• Dat headband
• DEM MUSIC STANDS
• Dat black nail polish
• 1.26 DEM RING OUT CHORDS AND 'DAD AT A WEDDING' DANCE MOVES

Then there's still the matter of the bassist who looks like he is playing the gig on his break from driving trucks for a living. AND THE GUY BEHIND HIM, WTF IS GOING ON THERE?!!?

After watching the video about 5 times in a row my brain began to melt and it couldn't handle the awesomeness anymore. When I had recharged I searched for it again and found MORE COVER VIDEOS.
*warning: The next videos contains dangerously high amounts of lol

00:03 - Dat hair(line)!!!!
00:06 - Dat head shake
00:09 - *DEAD* DAT LOOK OF DEEP MEANINGFULNESS AND SMUGNESS DUE TO UNPLAYABLE INSTRUMENT

At this point my (10 seconds in) I had to restart but the 'weary, hurt and abused friend/lover' acting at 00:11 set me off again. It was all too much for me really. The guy looks slightly ill, he defo seems to be sweating.

AND IT KEEPS GOING....

I'm sure there's more gold to be found but I think my head would explode if I dig any further right now. For the moment I'm going to leave it here.It's pretty easy for people to hate on these guys, but if you look beyond the initial lols, they're either wizard trolls or DGAF dudes who are more punk than you.

Are you excited for the new BIRDEMIC film?

We asked for it, apparently.

Birdemic was in many ways a masterpiece. With creative visionary James Nguyen (you know, the James Nguyen), a strong message and a cast of hungry, young actors, it is a film that comes close to the brilliance of The Room. So, I should be excited about a sequel, right? Let us consider some pros and/or cons...

Return of Rod/Bagh is Back

That's right, Rod, the all action, all romancing hero from the first film is back! And now he's a big shot something or other. Thankfully Rod was not replaced and all the character development he went through in the first film was not put to waste. Some might say Alan Bagh is one of the finer actors of our generation. His portrayal of Rod, an odd juxtaposition of a confident yet horrifyingly awkward manchild is some of the finest work seen on screen. However, a look at his Twitter account shows that Rod and Alan may not be all that different. Plus we've had some fun lightly trolling him in this very blog.

Sticking to their guns (or coat hangers) with the CGI

Birdemic 2 seems to follow quite rigidly to the theme/plot and budget of its predecessor. So on the plus side, the awful graphics are back. But on the negative side, the awful bird graphics are back. Maybe I'm judging too quickly without seeing the finished product but I would have liked to see some ridiculous 3D, or even worse graphics. A lot of the lol in the first film is partly due to the shock at just how bad the birds look. Some amazing (or amazingly bad) graphics would have been a real kick in the beak to detractors of the film.

Where are they really going with this?

It's pretty clear that ol' James Nguyen is kinda bummed out about The Man polluting the world through machines run on eagle tears, dead baby seals and so on, but is this sequel going to address these srs issues? Is it going to pick up from the cliffhanger ending of the first? Did they really need to make a second? Will there be a thirdemic?

I don't have the answers..All I know is that I'll be seeing this at the nearest opportunity, with a case of beer and a bucket of clothes hangers.
