Free Promotion

Unless this is your first time here you know that I love music and that I have a wide range of musical tastes. As such I am always on the lookout for new bands and new music. It gives me such a rush when I find a hidden gem.

Now I've found a site that allows me to do that and influence whether others find it. It's called the 61, and its become such a treasure trove for me. Check it out, let me know what you think.

Oh and if you sign up, put my username: waybose in there cuz you get points everyday that you use to "bump" songs. It's in this bumping that you promote the songs for others to hear.

Sounds pretty cool, right?

Listenin' in,

Cold War Kids- Hang Me Up to Dry

Hooray for America

Recently some have said I am anti-American due to the things I say on this blog. To them I say, bollocks!

I thought in America we got over the idea that people who speak out about what they don't like with their country, in the hopes of fixing those things through exposure, are not anti-American. In fact they are as pro-American as can be.

I'm curious why people think it is anti- American to question your leaders? Do they think we should follow them blindly, allowing them to take the "ship" where they want? I think people are afraid of free speech, afraid to criticize America's leaders and status, like that will capsize the boat. I am obviously using the boat analogy due to the phrase "don't rock the boat", which is what people are saying when they accuse most of anti-Americanism.

I'll flip the scrip here for a second and say those who practice this are in fact, anti-American. INFLAMMATORY STATEMENT! Seriously though, it's been a hard couple of years for this country and we need to know that only we can fix it by talking about it: lambasting what we don't like and praising what we do. Ignoring things for the sake of happiness/peace of mind is cowardly to me. Now if you don't care, that's fine with me, it's your right. As for me I'm going to stay involved, like it or not.

Rockin' the boat,
'thew

Theatre Experience

And yes I spell it with the e last.

I went to see J.J. Abrams produced Cloverfield this weekend. I usually try to avoid this certain theater because I know the clientèle it pulls in likes to add their own commentary. Due to this fact, my cousin and I went to an 11:30(!) showing on Sunday figuring we'd be safe. We even got there a little after the start so we could sit away from people.

Wouldn't you know it but just a minute into the movie a group sits down behind us that spends at least a minute loudly trying to figure out the very difficult process of sitting down. After that, they obviously needed to have a loud discussion about the sitting down process. Not to get into any more of it but this group did not seem well educated and they were white. I am only saying this because there is a stereotype about black movie patrons and I wanted to specify. Just saying.

Now Cloverfield was very good and unique and I suggest to you all to see it on the big screen, but these........people behind me really had an effect on my engrossment in the movie. I went to see the Simpsons movie in the same theater with a full crowd and that was absolutely RUINED for me.

There is a theatre in Vorhees, NJ that I know I can go to to avoid the masses and watch with people who respect the cinema, but it still feels too much like a art house theatre to me.

I want to start a chain of theatres in which the experience of going to a movie can be perfected celebrated and will bring people back to the big screen.

- First you would have a console where you could have: Drinks and popcorn delivered during the movie so you wouldn't have to miss anything, you could "rat" on people who are talking to loud and do so with anonymity, and engage in premovie events, like onscreen polls or trivia.

- Second, the seating would be spread out and there would be sections for groups or couples. This would require assigned seats of course. The chairs would be comfy enough that your ass would never get numb.

-Third, you could buy an all day pass that would allow you to hop from movie to movie for a Saturday like event. Screenings of old, cult movies would run for those who never got to see them on the big screen or had regrets about skipping them.

-Fourth, sound would always be top notch and condiments would be real....like REAL nachos, the little things would be attended to.


Anyway that's my idea.

Spinnin' the reels,
'thew

Spoon - The Underdog - This song grew on me

Slugworth!

Yeah the title has nothing to do with today, I just felt like putting it down because I was talking to a friend about Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory which you should know I love.

So the NFC & AFC championship games are this weekend and since the Eagles are technically out (In my mind both stadiums could spontaneously combust and the Eagles would be offered the Super Bowl....it could happen), I will offer my picks for this weekend:

Chargers vs. Patriots: Chargers by 3

The Chargers are hot right now and the Patriots are feeling entitled. You can't keep perfection up forever and the Bolts are poised for an UPSET SPECIAL!


Giants vs. Packers: Packers by 10

The Packers are on fire now and looking solid. The Giants are playing on borrowed time. Brett Favre and the Pack know this is something special for them.

Remember, now that I've predicted this, it will come true. I'd bet your house on it.
