Oh man...

OK, this Kidz Bop crap has GOT to stop.
Nevermind that they've already released 7 albums.
Nevermind that people have bought enough copies to even MERIT the release of 7 albums.
Nevermind that any song that could be considered "good" now sounds like a School Bus Sing-along.

I have a problem with the songs that are actually chosen. Apparently the only step in the selection process is "Well, was the song on the Top 40?" I saw a list of the songs in the commercial, and half of them are about things that I do not need to hear children singing about. The one that I have the biggest problem with is the cover of Bowling for Soup's "1985". I'm a fan of Bowling for Soup. And although the hardcore punk fans out there will view me as a poseur for even liking them, the songs are pretty catchy. Anyway, the song is full of references to things that were cool in 1985. And the kids who are singing it have no idea. Most of them were not even BORN in 1985, let alone old enough to appreciate any of the references in the song. It's just not right.

OK.....where the hell did all THAT come from??? Ayway...

Still no news on the Land of 10,000 Lakes.
Tomatohead was in town this week. Good times, glad to see that Seattle is treating him well.
Had to ditch the beard, as I was feeling too sketchy and/or scary.

Check out the Bastards website. It's getting updated by leaps and bounds.

Whoop.
