Anyone else remember this tune? I don’t know what made me think of it – probably just the firing of some random synapses that I haven’t used since high school.

Anyways, I’m pretty sure I still enjoy the track. What does this mean?!

Steve Jobs is a bad motherfucker. I’ve known this since it became clear that Apple was going toe-to-toe with Google to take over the world and mind-rape us with telepathic waves emanating from their devices. However, I have begun to fear that the Apple-pocalypse is sooner than we think. Why? Well, remember when Steve Jobs was sick last year or some shit? And looked awful? Recent news has made one thing clear: Steve Jobs actually passed away and was resurrected by The Hand. Oh wait? You think the Hand is just an undead ninja clan from the Marvel Universe?

Then check this out: Steve Jobs was stopped last year by airport security from boarding his own private plane. Why? ‘Cause the dude was trying to bring shuriken aboard. How else do you explain it? It’s obvious.

According to a Japanese magazine, Spa!, Jobs was stopped by what were obviously Forces of Good from boarding his own plane last year. They stopped him because he was trying to bring ninja stars aboard. He then pointed out to them that it seemed a bit absurd to worry that he was going to hijack his own plane, not revealing his true intentions: planning to kill everyone who complained about the forthcoming Death Grip on the iPhone 4, and the price of an iPad. Jobs then swore off ever going to Japan again (I’m not making this up), and probably sent Hand ninjas to assaassainate the grandmothers of those who stopped him.

As I said, Steve Jobs is a bad motherfucker.

Monday mornings can be a real drag. But they’re a bit more tolerable if you blare ridiculous rap. G’ahead, it doesn’t matter if you’re at work – your boss will love this shit. For your listening/viewing pleasure, I present the Ying Yang Twins’ Badd. Gahdamn, this is has to be one of my favorite music videos of all time.

I just hope the aliens don’t stumble across it when they’re doing their assessment of humanity.

According to both his Twitter and his forum, Mike Portnoy is leaving Dream Theater.

Wait, huh? Yeah, that’s right – Mike Portnoy is leaving the most respected progressive-metal group on the planet, the very band he helped found twenty-five years ago and launched him to the status of music-nerd-legend. As the group’s most vocal member, the drummer has basically become synonymous with the Dream Theater franchise. This move is like James Hetfield leaving Metallica, Dave Mustaine leaving Megadeth, or maybe even Bruce Dickinson leaving Iron Maiden…Hey…wait a second…

So why did he leave? His reasoning:

We have been on an endless write/record/tour cycle for almost 20 years now (of which I have overseen EVERY aspect without a break) and while a few months apart from each other here & there over the years has been much needed and helpful, I honestly hoped the band could simply agree with me to taking a bit of a “hiatus” to recharge our batteries and “save me from ourselves”…

Sadly, in discussing this with the guys, they determined they do not share my feelings and have decided to continue without me rather than take a breather…I even offered to do some occasional work throughout 2011 against my initial wishes, but it was not to be…

My Interpretation: Portnoy has been sullied by playing with Avenged Sevenfold. He’s probably enjoying a level of recognition and luxury that Dream Theater could never afford him. While this is understandable, DT’s other members don’t have the same opportunities and probably don’t feel like waiting for him to finish living the life to start making music again. I’m sort of troubled by Portnoy’s offering to “do some occasional work” for the band.

Seems like priorities are shifting; he originally made it seem as though it was Avenged Sevenfold he’d be doing some occasional work for, not his own band.

My Prediction: This is going to create a huge riff in the Dream Theater fan community – I’m talking some David Lee Roth/Van Halen type of shit. But just like that classic rock feud, I can’t imagine this will last.

Behold! A fucking dog worthy of your nightmares. Nothing says Fear and Trembling like a gamma-irradiated Godzilla-Puppy.

Why not, right?

Geeks have spoken. They care about very particular things. Like, Duke Nukem Forever blow jobs.

Devin Townsend just released a video preview from the sessions for Ghost, the final component of his four-album DTP sequence. From his YouTube channel, Townsend explains:

So this is record 4 of the dtp, but I’m recording it third, because Deconstruction (3) is a nightmare technically and I wanted to make something lovely before diving into that.
There are a number of guests on the album, but the core is me, Dave Young (Keyboards) Mike St-Jean (Drums) and the fabulous Kat Epple of flute.

I’m about 2 weeks into this one, and I’ve got about a month and a half more work to do if I keep my schnoz to the grindstone.

I’ll keep you posted…

Oh yeah, please remember (and tell your friends…):

THIS IS NOT THE HEAVY ALBUM, that one is next…but they both get released simultaneously so all us misanthropes will have something to vent with before reading a National Geo to Ghost.
