YOU BOYS LIKE MEXICO?!?!?!?
 
WOOOOOOOOOOO

found a few awesome things at Half Price books yesterday. after loving the first book of the new TMNT series, i found books 2 and 3 for 9 bucks each in perfect condition, as well as the first book of Stephen King's Dark Tower series. i had been wanting to check that out (even if just for Jae Lee's artwork) so i was stoked to find that for only 6 bucks, also in perfect shape.

it's almost 2015 and people still listen to Slipknot?

the whole movie could be an hour and a half of MF chase scenes and i'd be a happy camper.
 
i'll just sit here and watch the gif all day

help me save up for another tattoo and justify buying more records. prices do not include shipping. most prices are soft, so feel free to hit my up if you think i'm totally high. i will make deals for combined orders, ship within two business days, and ship in actual record mailers. i started this sale on Dead Format which is why some stuff is sold already. GO!

sadly (not for you obviously) Liverpool has been sooo inconsistent with winning games like that. I can usually tell within 10 minutes that they'll win or lose, and during that game, it was only 5 minutes in before i realized it was going to be one of those games. You can tell by the looks on their faces, the direction on the field, it was just a 95% performance when they needed all 100 to get that back-to-back against a team like Arsenal.

i still think it's City's title to lose, but Arsenal still have a chance, no question. City have the skill ($$$) but no discipline. and i wouldn't count Chelsea out of it. they're still not playing their best football but they're not dropping as many points as Arsenal and City at the moment.
 
and United, holy shit. this game against Fulham is UGLY. not only are United getting bad results, they're playing dull, uninspiring, and frankly, just boring soccer. i was thinking United would give Moyes time, but i may be changing my mind. not only are they going to miss Champions League for the first time in PL history, they're not even going to make Europe League at this point. they've been talking about a player-exodus, but coaching staff might be out before them?

yawn

there's still a bunch of records i didn't give enough attention to, but here's my last swing at this thing:
 
Best of 2013

Full Lengths:
1. I Not Dance - Thought Leader - holyfuckingshit the riffs, the creativity. fuuuuck. This one was by far and away my favorite release of the year. And i think more people would have jumped on this if they didn't have such a stupid band name...
2. Centuries - Taedium Vitae - everything i want in a hardcore record. one more song to make it a smidge longer and it would’ve been godamn perfect.
3. Deathrite - Into Extinction - no idea why anyone would listen to Black Breath when they could be listening to this. Ultra heavy, super catchy.
4. Hierophant - Great Mother : Holy Monster - one of the heaviest records of the year. this record could make me forget about HHIG (ok not really but still). one of my most played HC records of the year.
5. Mammoth Grinder - Underworlds - much more catchy than Extinction, and much, MUCH better than the Hatred Surge and Impalers records.
6. Rosetta - The Anaesthete - nothing new for them, but it’s still what i always want from them. they can do no wrong.
7. Deafheaven - Sunbather - can’t believe the topped RtJ, but they did. Take out the interludes and I’d like it a whooole lot more. although this record is not as good as it’s hyped up to be.
8. Children of God - We Set Fire To The Sky - one of the most creative bands in HC right now. very honest and unique sound
9. Jungbluth - Part Ache - leaps and bounds better than their demo EP. love the riffs and the ferocity of the vocals. makes the demise of Alpinist much easier to bear.
10. Castevet - Obsian - this one was a grower just like their last one, and rewards with every listen. not quite what i wanted it to be, it’s not quite as dark as Mounds of Ash, but still a goddamn fantastic record.

11. Ruined Families - Blank Language
12. Year of No Light - Tocsin
13. Holy - The Age of Collapse
14. Jackals - No Solution
15. Vaura - The Missing
16. Dead in the Dirt - The Blind Hole
17. Coke Bust - Confined
18. Hoax LP
19. Cloud Rat - Moshka
20. Power Trip - Manifest Decimation

Seven Sisters of Sleep - Opium Morals & Cult of Luna - Vertikal started strong in the year but had no staying power for me.

EP’s & Splits:
1. (tie) Hollowed Tongue - Godsnakes  
1. (tie) Of Feather and Bone - False Healer
1. (tie) Severe - The Gutter Sessions
all three of these are dirty, heavy, mean, and catchy as hell. not just some of my favs of the year, but of the last few years.
4. Heartless - Certain Death - sadly, their final release, but they went out with a huge bang.
5. Moral Void - Vol I
6. Young and in the Way / Moral Void Split
7. False Light - s/t (since the physical version of this was finally released this year, i’m throwing it on here)
8. Skinfather - Succession / Possession
9. Young and in the Way / Withdrawal - split
10. Vaccine / No Faith split - great way for Vaccine to go out. great, insanely pissed off split
11. LIES - 3 song Cassette
12. Hoax - Caged / Sick Punk
13. Rotten Sound - Species at War
14. Vaccine - Dead Inside
15. ARRM - Sand / Blackwater

Biggest Disappointments: (Not necessarily bad - just disappointing)
Society Nurse LP - EP was awesome, and this just felt like a Walls B-side LP.
Iron Lung - White Glove Test - for some reason this record just feels flat to me. The best songs on it are the Brutal Supremacy tracks that aren’t new.
Hatred Surge - Human Overdose - not a bad record, but probably the most boring HS material ever. especially when the Mammoth Grinder record came out two months later and DESTROYED it.
Terra Tenebrosa - The Purging - a couple tracks have the quality to be on the last record, because, well, they sound exactly the same. the rest is either boring or just meandering noise. I’d dare to say the whole record sounds pretentious, which is especially weird for a record with a faux Slipknot cover.

Favorite Soundtracks
M83 - Oblivion
Year of No Light - Vampyr

Best Records From 2012 That I Didn’t Discover Until 2013:
Black Mask - s/t EP
Ayr - Nothing Left to Give
BLCKWVS - 0150

anyone else see how dead it is/was at the Giants/Redskins game? holy shit
 

Avenged Sevenfold and Circa Survive are tied for the worst bands ever award. fuck them.
 
and fuck Lars Ulrich while we're taking shits on things here

yawn

his older stuff had some quality to it and had some half-decent things to say, but his new stuff is fucking terrible and all he does is rap about how awesome he is. hell, that's all he talks about too.he's the most narcissistic, money-grubbing ego-maniac i can even think of. whether or not it's all a "character" version of himself that he's just using as a constant marketing thing, he's an asshole and a douche and he makes terrible, terrible music.

i clapped and screamed like my favorite team scored a goal haha

Taarabt in the Closet!! HAAA! love it

i'm just giving you shit...

after hating the ending so much that i refused to play it pretty much since it came out, i've finally downloaded all the new stuff for Mass Effect 3 and starting a second play through. we'll see if the directors cut and added content help me fall in love with the series again. 

almost no matter who the actor/s is/are, this is a movie with both fucking Superman and Batman in it.
 
it's going to be terrible.

As a Belgian, I'm proud we have so many good players in the Premier League.
 
Mignolet saved the game for Liverpool, Hazard & De Bruyne were great for Chelsea (what an assist from De Bruyne!), and Benteke won the game for Aston Villa.
 
Then there's Lukaku (Chelsea), Fellaini & Mirallas (Everton), Dembélé, Chadli & Vertonghen (Tottenham Hotspur), Vermaelen (Arsenal), Kompany (Manchester City),...
 
Look out for Belgium! When we qualify for Brazil, I am so sure we can make it to the semi finals!!!

And I take the Tottenham side (or Chelsea) over Arsenal. The Gunners are a god damn blast to root against.
 
Everton is a great "Good" club to root for. They're never going to win the league, but they play a very classy, respectful style of play and they always done fairly well for themselves with spending barely any money (especially compared to the bigger clubs). Their coach from last year, David Moyes, just took over for Man United. So that says how well they were coached. It's too early to tell how their new coach Martinez will do, he was coach at Wigan where he was always a better coach than the team's actual level of performance. The US #1 keeper Tim Howard is the starter for Everton.
 
it's pretty entertaining to be impartial for awhile and then find a team that has a style of play that you like. some teams have boat loads of talent and money, making them almost a must to watch, but they have no soul as a team (Chelsea comes to mind). and some teams lack big names players and big budgets but make up for it in determination and heart.
 
dunno if you're from the US, but you should watch the MLS too. the US is really coming up in the world in terms of playing great soccer.

god damn, i listened to an embarrassing amount of Nu Metal in Jr High and High School. Mudvayne, Sevendust, Slipknot, Staind, Limp Bizkit, Korn, Spineshank, Orgy, a bunch of obscure ones, and i think my favorite band was Nothingface.
