MOTÖRMUSIC MEETS THE BLITZ-PUNK SOUNDS OF THE SUPER-SEVENTIES.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on the numbered edition (out of 666 copies) of the "Over the Top" 7 inch single by MOTÖRDAMN, released under the UK's Devils Jukebox Records in 2007.

EXTRA INFO: THE DAMNED performing with Lemmy Kilmister of MOTÖRHEAD under the name "THE DOOMED," c. 1978-'79. They later released a single in '79 under the name "MOTÖRDAMN."

"I thought of us more as a punk band than a metal band, we had more in common with THE DAMNED than with JUDAS PRIEST or something like that."

-- LEMMY when asked about MOTÖRHEAD being the only metal band accepted by punks

i know andrew's tan lines have to go crazy

I hate the current music industry. I hate it so much. I hate that artists have to release half of their album as singles before it officially comes out. I hate that they have to spend literal years touring around the world. I hate that they rely so heavily on merch. You get the vinyls in two colors. Three colors. Five colors. Eight colors. Every few months, they put out a new color. You've got exclusive bundles with a poster. One with a poster and a pin. One with a poster and a pin and an alternative cover. You've got figurines. You've got 459 t-shirts. 274 hoodies. 156 tank tops. Bikinis. Bath towels. Water bottles. Tons of plastic. Worldwide shipping. When do we stop.

FYI one of my friends introduced me to Sleep Token…uh…three days ago, and they’ve already become one of my favorite bands of all time. I’ve listened to nothing else in 72 hours, I woke up by crying to their music this morning, and I just bought two t-shirts

I've finished counting all of the nominations for the Best Mechanisms Quote/Line bracket! As of the time of posting, there are 76 responses, and 220 different quotes!!! So many!

The form to submit nominations is still open, and will be until... sometime around noon on Thursday. Maybe a little sooner, maybe a little later. So, make sure to get your last minute nominees in before that closes!!

Question: do you guys want the current list of 32 and current runner ups? I'm pretty much done for tonight, but I could get that together tomorrow if people want that. To clarify, what I mean by runner ups: currently quotes with 4+ nominations are in the bracket, so I'd put the ones with 3 nominations as well. The 3 nominations are runner ups. I am not formatting all of the quotes with 1 and 2 nominations, so if I did post all the quotes, you'd just get the quotes with 3+ nominations.

[silverislander]

i know my anxiety is irrational and comprised of previous negative experiences instead of an accurate prediction of the future bc it still tries to make me feel bad about objectively funny things that no longer even align with my morals as a person

[autism-disco]

[internet-league-blaseball]

[srijellyfishtempura]

Sorry not to sound Protestant but what could be the song? Where begin again? Who could meet us there? Where might we begin? From the shadows climb! Rise to sing again! Where could be the joy? (How do we begin?) Never our despair! Never the least of us! Never turn away NEVER hide your face! Ordinary boy (only ALL of us), free us from our fear! Only in the love!!! Love that lifts us up!!

Dead Boy Detectives does a lot of things very, very well, but one thing I haven't seen touched on very much is set design. It is phenomenal, and the amount of detail that's gone into literally every scene is truly mind-blowing. I'm going to do a couple of posts breaking down the setting details in various locations I think, but I wanted to start with one that does an incredible amount of storytelling in the tiny understated details.

So let's talk about Charles' room from when he was still alive.

Some of the details are quite small, but I've circled and numbered them so that I can discuss them more easily.

First up, and this one doesn't have a number because it's the entire room, but. They have this boy down in the basement. In a cramped little space that looks like it's twice the size of a twin bed.

Then we come to all the little things that make it so much worse:

1: Charles' room is covered with band posters. If you look closely though, these aren't the kind of posters you'd buy in a store. These are the sorts of posters that they display at venues when a band is in town. Every one of them that's readable has locations/dates/sales info. These aren't someone buying Charles something of his own, to decorate his room with. This is Charles "My smile is pretty convincing" Rowland going to venues after the band has finished its run and asking for the posters to take home.

2: It's hard to tell from the angle, but it looks like he has a couple of model airplanes up on the ceiling. Okay, this one's kind of cute.

3: Again, hard to tell from the angle, but it looks like he has a shelf of sports trophies tucked away back there. This boy tries so damn hard.

4: A dart board. Huh. That's funny. Where are the darts?

5: Oh, here they are. They're outside the room! Like his asshole father! Stole his darts! And threw them at the door!!

6: Probably a boombox, presumably the one that he used to play the tape mentioned in the Devlin house episode. Notably, there are no tapes in sight. Did his father break his only tape?

7: The world's saddest bed, with a ratty old pillow and one (1) single sheet.

8: And as if we needed any more heartbreak in this scene, that's Charles' cricket bat there in the corner. His weapon of choice? The thing he picks up to defend Edwin, over and over, episode after episode, for the entire series? He's cowering practically on top of it while his father beats him. He didn't so much as touch it when it was himself that needed defending.

You're welcome. If I have to be heartbroken over set dressing, I'm dragging you all with me.

Green Day - American Idiot 2004

"American Idiot" is a protest song by the American rockband Green Day. The first single released from their seventh studio album American Idiot, the song received positive reviews by critics and was nominated for four 2005 Grammy Awards: Record of the Year, Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, Best Rock Song, and Best Music Video. It is considered one of the band's signature songs. In advance of Donald Trump's visit to the UK in July 2018, a campaign to get "American Idiot" to the top of the UK song charts was launched. On the Official UK Charts dated 13 July 2018, the song re-entered the UK Singles Chart at 25 and the UK Singles Downloads Chart at number 2. In 2019, Billie Joe Armstrong began changing the lyric "I'm not a part of a redneck agenda" to "I'm not a part of a MAGA agenda" during live performances.

The single peaked at number 61 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Green Day's first Billboard Hot 100 chart entry. The appearance of "American Idiot" on the US singles charts occurred just prior to Billboard's inclusion of Internet download purchases into their Billboard Hot 100 chart data, which would have made a significant difference in the song's peak had it benefited from the new chart tabulation system. "American Idiot" became Green Day's first top-five single in the UK, peaking at number 3, and it debuted at number 1 in Canada, their only #1 single there. In Australia, the song reached number 7. At MTV's Video Music Awards, the music video won the Viewer's Choice Award and was also nominated for Best Art Direction. "American Idiot" was ranked the number 13 Single of the Decade by Rolling Stone magazine in 2009. VH1 also placed the song at number 13 on its Top 100 Songs of the 2000s in 2011.

"American Idiot" received a total of 94% yes votes!
