"Misogynistic, like a lean-back cholo, flipping switches."

The never ending search for free music that isn't wont to suck brings us (via time machine) to The Grammar Club and their album Bremelanotide.

We're sticking with the nerd theme with this nerd-core release and that basically means; White guys rapping nerd-centric lyrics over beats that are positively out of the realm of those actually creating them. And, while that may be true, what with a whole song centering around a professional wrestling career, these guys add a neat little twist to the mix, melody.

As in, Shael Riley can actually sing. (For proof, see Alternate Ending, the obligatory slow song of the album, but no less nerdy as it revolves around DVDs.) Though, at times, with the rapping, singing, beats, and riffs, the album can conjure up memories of Linkin Park (who?) and on such occasions it tends to send a shiver up my spine. Luckily, thanks to the complete lack of screaming and viciously somber emo(tive) lyrics, these moments are few and far between, and, if the drunken, collegiate memories of the rap-rock heydays cause you to wet your bed in a nightmare induced furor, rest easy my friend, for this album is nothing like that.

As stated above, the singer can sing, Beefy can rap, the beats are fantastic, and the rock aspect is used perfectly and only adds another great level to the songs. The best part (and the part the least like those rap-rockers) is the whole album is actually free. That's the part you all love to hear, because that usually means that no record companies are involved and you can finally lie to all your friends that you have a good, diverse taste in music.

You. Yeah, you. You're a liar.

You tell me this and this and this, and you tell me to try, try, try and all I can do is stare, and wonder why all your words suddenly start with "T".

... and we're back.

In photo news and due to my lack of posting, I bring you advertisements disguised as presents. It's a couple desktops, one blue, one red (I'm currently using the blue one), for you to download and use for yourself. It helps grow the brand in a way that makes your stuff look cooler, or, to put it another way, works just like a designer label... only I'm not charging an arm and leg for it. It's also my way of letting you know that my artwork is soon to be more prevalent on this site and it will be up for sale alongside my book as soon as I figure out the best way to go about it. So, until then, enjoy these:

To download simply click on the one you want and when the next page pops up, right click and select Save As... and remember where you stick it. They're both jpeg images, I know, they should be png but, screw that. They're supposed to be desktops and, for most people, that's the format they get switched to. Oh, and they're widescreen, so, 4:3 users, sorry.

In video news:

To those of you who've may have heard, my dad was half Scottish and half Italian, so, the running joke was that he looked like a mixture between Sean Connery and Super Mario (the mustache didn't help). On top of that, Italian jokes are all the rage nowadays and I hear them all the time because of him. That's why I immediately thought of him when I saw this video of the Italian Anti-Defamation League's protest of Super Mario Galaxy 2 at this years E3 expo. My heart beats full of pride.

In music news:

I bought a record. An actual 7" piece of vinyl, hand-cut down from a 10" which allows for edges full of fun, and by fun, I mean jagged slivers and by edges, I mean, edges. It's not round, it's square, but it still plays.

Anyways, it's from a band called Farewell Continental and they're a side project from members of various Minneapolis bands, most importantly Justin Pierre of Motion City Soundtrack. It's a far slower production than that band is known for and it's a perfect outfit for his voice to shine, especially when it's competing against the equally beautiful, female voice of the other lead singer. It's probably not for everybody, but it's only a 4-song EP so it's not a huge financial commitment to legally download the album, in either standard or lossless editions, from the Paper + Plastick store.

Me? No. I'm not sure about anything. From a to z, wine and zombies, I'm not sure how I feel about any of it.
