Another Futile Ostentation
A narcissistic outlet to express my opinions on things that matter little in the grand scheme. Meant as a companion piece to the other blog I post to, but whose readers may not have the desire to hear my thoughts on such matters as music, sports, and philosophy.

It's a little crazy all over the place, with little hiphop and a punk leaning. No theme really emerged but some of the titles seem appropriate in retrospect. Haven't listened to yet to see how well paced it is, but it looks ok....

When World's Collide 

Verbose music critic attempts a review of grimy-ass, hardcore, crunk music from the streets and comes across like an ass. Worst review ever. Don't get my wrong Crunkjuice ain't a great album by any stretch, but it's just so strange to see it described like this....

My two cents on the album:

-The Rick Rubin track is wicked; an't go wring with Slayer samples.
-Some of the worst mysogenistic lyrics of all time.
-Icecube has fell the fuck off. What happened man? How can I keep pulling for you at movie nights?
- The Ludacris, Usher shit is...well....shit. gah.

Don't waste your money, dowload the singles, and buy a real hiphop record, rather than just a hyped records by a flash in the pan hot producer. (Don't get me wrong, I like Lil Jon's production, but man he needs to learn a few new tricks...don't pull a Neptunes.)

I'm not sure what to make of this... 

saladfingers
You are Salad Fingers. You are deeply, deeply
disturbed. You love rusty spoons, and
tetanus-induced hallucinations wherein you talk
to your finger-puppets. You are most certainly
NOT suitable for children, and I would
recommend you get serious help. Also, you taste
like sunshine dust.

Should I be pissed off? Or happy? Don't get me wrong, I love Salad Fingers, but still....
