I have always not enjoyed the musical stylings of The White Stripes. Tonight, I saw their new video on the Music TeveVision and it just solidified my observation that they do not play good music. Some bands have music that is good but that I don't necessarily like, as is the case with Metallica or perhaps ColdPlay. The difference is that while these bands play technically well and compositionally good music, the white stripes play simple, empty music that sounds like a chicken getting caught in a belt sander. Their new video is the perfect example of how simple and un-entertaining their music really is. It is a sort of a stop-motion animation where there is a new shot every time the drumstick hits the drum kit. Every time. Obviously if they tried to do this with a good band, they would have to take a year off to shoot the video, but my guess is they completed it in about a half hour. Realistically, it probably took a day. Either way I just cant justify someone who drumming style is equivalent to a 7 year old playing the "bonk the gopher on the head" game at Show-Biz Pizza, I can't justify that person getting millions of dollars. Maybe its just me. Oh, speaking of bad music. I also heard the new Blink One Hundred Eighty Two song tonight. 100 bucks says if I were to record it, go back in time to 1994 and play it to them, they would laugh at it and think it was the worst piece of crap they have ever heard. Shows to go ya how much money can affect your self pride. For the first time ever, you can win money on /mark. My sister (Julie) and her friend (Gwen) will be spending their Halloween in Castro, where it is a huge extravaganza. They need costume ideas for the two of them. If you post an idea that they use, Julie will send you 50 bucks. Honestly. Shes that desperate. -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- [after a smoke ring goes up, person1 pokes their finger through it] person1: "Don't let it die a virgin."
