Brit Rock

Brit Rock

There’s a great documentary on the rise of British music during the mid-to late 90’s called Live Forever.

The movie focused on bands including Oasis and Blur.

Oasis, once again does not disappoint, here’s a great quote from singer Noel Gallagher about the band’s second album (What’s the Story) Morning Glory:

Noel Gallagher: [describing the success of "What's the Story Morning Glory?" in the UK] I personally think "Definitely Maybe" is a much better album. And for the life a me, I can't understand... why, in this country in particular, that when people were going to buy "Morning Glory", they didn't buy "Definitely Maybe". And I'd just like to say, [looking directly into camera]

Noel Gallagher: where do you fucking get off on that? You know, when you go to HMV to buy a copy a "Morning Glory", you don't buy "Definitely Maybe". What's that all about? Ya know, do you just do it to piss me off? I'd... I would... It's a source of... I could just sit and think about that for hours.
[points at interviewer]

Noel Gallagher: Have you got "Definitely Maybe"?
[pause]

Noel Gallagher: And "Morning"- See? Now, you... I can understand that... People are fucking weird.

Food for Thought

Here is some food for thought, all of the gossip columns and website have reported that Marilyn Manson is now dating Evan Rachel Wood, I think that's a little bit scary, but that's just my opinion.

On Tuesday, The Daily show pointed out a huge error that CNN had made on Jan. 1st. They had a headline "Searching for Osama" for an upcoming piece, unfortunately the headline read "Searching for Obama," he has a real good shot at a presidential nomination (note the sarcasm), and this is coming from a Democrat.

On Wednesday, The Daily Show reported that the Congress was giving off to watch the Florida/Ohio State game.

Now I'm a huge football fan, but give me a break, aren't there a few porblems that need to be addressed?
