KKK's Of Leon

Whenever a band is over hyped, i generally take a step back and if I'm going to get into them, i'll do it in my own time, and not when NME tells me i should. With Kings Of Leon I've believed them to be over hyped from the start. From what I've heard, the singles they've released etc etc, i was never really that impressed and i always summed up my simple analogy of the band to 'fucking hillbillies'

I thought it was about time to perhaps give an album some of my time and base a real evaluation on a listen, so i decided to download the most recent album. 'Only by the night'. I wasn't gonna pay for it.

My initial thoughts on the Jesus freak clan band from the south are only reinforced on first and only listen. Imagine being shot in the chest with a shotgun and then while recovering in the hospital, a fat Axl Rose then appears posing as a doctor who then crawls upon your chest, and proceeds to flat out brick in your open wound while humming 'Paradise city' to himself. If this wasn't bad enough in itself, its proven fact that Axl has been eating nothing but jam sandwiches and pumpkins since 1995. Well, this band and album feels like that, but for your ears.

Fat Ronaldo

The hair gel industry suffered a catastrophic blow in North-West England this week when it was revealed that Christiano Ronaldo was set to leave Manchester United for Real Madrid. I'm sick of hearing about this so i decided to look up his older Brazilian namesake who was a big hit 10 years ago. It turns out 'Fat Ronaldo' as i know him has started to look like Craig David. I didn't even get as far as finding out where or what he does now, only so far into the rabbit hole to find he looks like Craig David. I don't know whats worse, 'Fat Ronaldo' looking like Craig David or 'Regular Ronaldo' dressing like Ricky Martin, remember him?

Hello Kitty

I'm all up for trying new things, but is there something really horrifying about putting hello kitty inside yourself? 'Hello Kitty', 'Hello Kitty'.

North Korea

The looming threat by North Korea according to the worlds media is ever increasing with Nuclear tests and missile launches. Surely I'm not the only one who thinks i could take down this guy with a one swift backhand and some name calling. I'm pretty sure that would make him cry, at least enough that he'd give me his dinner money.

My Favourite Eunuch

Today's topic, considering its such a lovely summer day, is weirdly about my favourite eunuch. Try and spot the Eunuch out of the lineup of President's and assassins.

Thomas P. Corbett, aka Boston Corbett. was the solider who shot and killed John Wilkes Booth, who was the man who shot abe, not that creepy green fella with his lips sewn together from oddworld, but Abe Lincoln.

In an attempt to imitate Jesus, he began to wear his hair very long. On July 16, 1858, in order to avoid the temptation of prostitutes, Corbett castrated himself with a pair of scissors. Afterward, he ate a meal.
