Fallen off the face of the earth

There is no finer feeling, most days, than the feeling disconnected from the world in such a "connected" electronic obsessed society. Just the thought of no one knowing where you are, what you are doing, who you are with, what you are saying...I suppose, nowadays, that may cause people some kind of despair? For me, it is bliss.

If angry is what you want, angry is what I got

So I woke up in the mood for some angry music today, and created a nice compilation of songs you want to listen to if you're about ready to overflow. Of course, the list can go on if you ask me to get into death metal or black metal (grind core, death core, noise core, hardcore punk...etc.etc.etc), but to keep it simple here's my top picks for today...

Angry anthem #0001
Megadeth - Angry Again

(A personal favorite, story of my life, story of Dave's life...and so the story goes!)

Angry anthem #0002
Alice in Chains - Angry Chair

(Who can forget Alice in Chains? When Kurt went missing, they kept rocking and pulling the grunge.)

Angry anthem #0003

Morbid Angel - Dawn of the Angry

(Morbid Angel, the godfathers of death metal. Much respect, and who doesn't like speeding in their car to this?)

And lastly...well, since we're on the topic.

A very angry bird.

I remember you

So this past Saturday (November 12, 2011) I crashed the party at the KEY CLUB to watch Pretty Boy Floyd and Crashdiet in an 80's Sunset strip revival of sorts. Little did I know, as I put on my high heels so early on that day, that there would be roughly about 287459082374523409523 opening bands. Painful, definitely, with each band playing about 5 songs by the time Pretty Boy Floyd appeared it had to be after midnight already! Ahh but the pain was worth it, dress to impress right? (It was in Hollywood, needless to say that is the law of the land) Some of the opening bands were fun to watch, I thoroughly enjoyed it since the younger scene is much more entertaining to observe, its almost like it was back in the 80's, maybe the revival is truly underway? Bands of note that night were Vicious Outlaws, Skarlet and Electric Child.

Like I mentioned before, there were dozens of bands! Its unfair to only mention 3 but those were the most memorable to me in all honesty. So anyhow, by the time Pretty Boy Floyd first came out I was feeling a bit tired but they managed to get the crowd all worked up which was fantastic. They rocked out like they would in their day, being as I was in front row I got a partial "lap dance" (what I call it when one of the band members crouches in your face, basically) from 2 of the members hahaha Also, I received an awesome sequin bracelet from Steve Sex (vocalist) so that was a great souvenir!

Once Crashdiet finally entered the stage I was MORE than exhausted, but again, I stuck to my guns, ignored the high heels and rocked out along with the band. They were very shy to be a sleaze metal band, at least, I believe their singer was the most charismatic, but then again when most foreign bands finally have a chance to play in LA they seem nervous regardless. Anyway, I leave you with some eye candy from the show and a song from Skid Row I dearly love, hope to see more of these bands in the near future!

From the amazing movie DRIVE

And the award for best film of 2011 goes to... DRIVE starring Ryan Gosling.

So after long debate I have decided that the best film I've seen so far of 2011 is Drive.

You can't beat the combination of masterful elements this film has, including the ever constant truth that shit does happen, to better people. With a phenomenal soundtrack (so phenomenal I dare compare it to KUBRICK, the master of tactful and mind blowing soundtrack dictation.), superb lead and supporting actors, danger lurking in every turn of a riveting plot, beautiful action sequences on cars (that top, in a most believable way, even Fast and the Furious) and a taste of rage and love; its all the elements of a new age greek drama, but better, because we have fast cars and firearms now. Not to mention Ryan Gosling.

I never watched the Notebook, and here's why: The Notebook is to Ryan Gosling like Titanic is to Leonardo DiCaprio, its a heart throbbing tragic love story made for women, don't get me wrong a guy may enjoy that movie too (or a girl, like me, may not find it interesting at all) because honestly, to me, The Notebook wasn't the movie who made Ryan Gosling, he came full circle with Drive. Drama isn't just about love and pain, its also about the harsh reality of violence, consequence, and tragedy in a pool of tangled lives. Blue Valentine wasn't left far behind in the dust as far as Gosling evolving into a wider range of independent films, so its a movie of note if you want to look up something new in his growing resume and put aside the Notebook once and for all. No more type casting for Ryan, my hats off to you.   

Stray angel

Stray angel

Bright the light shines all night

Casting odd shadows amongst the fallen angels

Hidden in the high alcoves

Rootless through the deep alleyways and stark streets

They dare not look you in the eye as they pass,

And you can only admire as they sweep away every gaze in their direction

Floating almost, unaware of the stares or sighs

It is like limbo, we pass one another

Intertwined roads in contradictory paths

Why is it then, when one reaches out,

That they tremble at our touch?

I was asked once,

I do not know

I answered, quite aware of my own fear of men

And how a touch may lift the soul

Or spin a tangled tragedy to mark the man

For we angels can no longer feel

Or scar

We only observe

Sisters

Beautiful song, absorbing lyrics...great for writing, if you're listening =)

"So many ways to break a man
with the food or the fall
so many ways to break a man
but one is not to touch him at all..."

Blue Valentine

What endless grey fills yours eyes
They were never colder until today
Reflecting the clouded, tear stricken skies
The breeze bit my skin when you spoke
I knew what you would say,
The grey turned dark like smoke
Ever since that day
When we met, and you smiled sadly
I knew I could not say goodbye
My will had broken madly
Every day with you I had to sigh
Knowing I'd miss your sad grey eyes

(Written by Celene ©Sicario Sideral)

Good people in ****ed up situations = Metal.

So I've come to the conclusion...that good people have bad luck. And the only way to fight it is to join the dark side. So join me.

Attack the Block (Horror Movie Review #003)

Horror Movie Review #003

Attack the Block 2011

I know what anyone sane would say in this situation "Horror? THIS? SERIOUSLY?" But come ON, this is from the makers of Shaun of the Dead, I couldn't let it pass me without a chop at it. So you may think that street thugs versus aliens sounds like a bad film plot from the Syfy channel, but to my own surprise this movie had more grit than it may lead to believe. Sure, its a horror scifi comedy, but its a true gem of its kind. If you like to laugh while watching people get beasted upon or enjoy movies like EVIL DEAD and DEAD ALIVE then you'll definitely appreciate this raw, hilarious, sarcastic trip of a movie with all the juvenile nostalgia one of its kind deserves. 

American Horror Story (Fox Network decides not to drop DirecTV)

So top news today for me was the fact I still had all my Fox Network channels on my DirecTV, this means American Horror Story tomorrow!

Season 7 Supernatural (Progress!)

Credits to LaylaBlack@Tumblr

Anyway, so I was becoming gradually impatient with this new season, especially since the opener was so strong but all of a sudden Castiel disappeared and we were back to the same roadhouse routine with easy nukes. Last Friday though...there was progress! To my pleasant surprise, a captured leviathan and some blood! Can't wait to see how long Dean and Sam will last separately. Most impressive was Crowley, because he finally appeared from out of the blue as usual, still crowned king of hell, and ready to start some problems on human grounds. Fun times! :D

Morning

Good morning, and happy day of the dead! (Or dia de los muertos, all saints day etc..etc.) So I woke up in a great mood, always after Halloween, you can't beat the combo of candy, pizza hut, vodka, a stolen projector and watching Let the Right One In at 1am! So here's a bit of fun before I get into the serious business for today...
