Welcome to 2010

It's gonna be shit, isn't it?

No, really, Tories coming into power in Britain in May (western democracy is such a farce, no?); everyone's favourite disappointment President Obama (where is your federal healthcare, dickhead?) wants to escalate the war in Afghanistan; Margaret Thatcher still isn't dead...what's to like?

Furthermore, "2010" doesnt exactly roll of the toungue, but 2011 will be even worse.

Maybe there will be a nuclear holocaust this year and we will all die - some dipshite says that at the start of every year, presumably in the hope that one year they will actually be right, and can use their last breath to shout "HA! I told you so!" at the mountains of charred corpses in the streets.

Perhaps the £5,000,000,000 Large Hadron Collider will actually work this year, and suck us all into a black hole - people who don't understand science seem oddly certain that this is a substantial threat.

Maybe there will be a new anti-climactic epidemic of viral disappointment. First foot & mouth was going to kill us all, and nowt happened besides a spot of cow burning; then bird flu came along, and did shit all except kill 2 swans in scotland, we had SARS...which did fuck all; bluetoungue...which did fuck all; and then swine flu...which gave a few people a nasty cough.

Maybe WWIII will finally kick off, though I think we need to wait for Sarah Palin to win a 2012 US presidential election before there's any chance of that...oh god that will be fun.

Perhaps I shall die an entertaining death from drug and alcohol abuse, a noble way to meet one's end.

Maybe aliens will attack...that would be awesome. "We come in peace!" "Eat this!"

Maybe I can incite extremists to murder me: Nick Griffin, Mohammed, Jesus and Abraham - all dickheads...no seriously, they are all war mongering homophobic shit weeds...and didnt abraham nearly knife his own son? What a cunt. Actually Jesus was alright, but his dad's a right twat.

Basically, we're all fucked.

Hey, here's an interesting anecdote

On the way back from town today, I saw a pile of quite long cardboard boxes outside the Durham Society for the Blind and Visually Impaired. All the boxes bore the following moniker:

CAUTION:

BARACUDA

HANDLE WITH CARE

I was like "fuck me!" - then I realised "Baracuda" was the name of the company that makes the boxes.

That is all

Here is my Epitaph

I hate all forms of chauvinism, except my own.

We Live in a Twisted World

'Nuff said

Why Aren't 10 Years more popular?

I have little understanding of the social mysticism weaved by bands and music. Why is it that, simply because of given musical styles, we have these "Emos" who think its a good idea to halve their visual field by combing their hair over one eye, and who all look scarily identical - its like attack of the clones - and yet think they are all "individuals". Music also gives us "goths" - who wear black and have shit piercings, and often wear makeup, making them look more camp than gothic, then there are "punks" who wear key chains on their jeans...for no discernible reason - I thought key-ring torches were taking it too far, but key-chain jeans? Fucking hell.

Similarly, I fail to understand the apparent lack of any correlation between the quality of a band's music and their popularity. Hence this post, in reference to the little known band 10 years, whose musical style seems very similar to many really popular bands, yet nobody has heard of them, and you never see their albums in stores. But I think a lot of their stuff is really good, so what gives?

I present some of their songs, so someone with musical knowledge can perhaps shed some light on the issue:

Daydreamer:



All your lies:



Dying Youth:



Russian Roulette:



Wasteland:




Beautiful

So, why are they not popular, tell me that?

I haven't made a post this month

...but I have now.
