Guns N Roses circa 2011

Oh. My. Goodness... We already knew what he looked like now, but I didn't know what he sounded like. This is so hard to watch, but you HAVE to see the guitar solo at about 2:30! Like seriously HAVE to.

Big Papi Gives New York a Hug

Go Sox! / Go Screw, Boston

Being opening night of the 2013 World Series, and the Red Sox being an incredibly likeable team for the first time in years, I feel like celebrating and even gloating a little. Here's an article from Philadelphia site crossingbroad.com: Go Screw, Boston I’ve spent the past two hours trying to find something – literally anything – to write about. I came close to posting, in-full, a reader rant on Paul Holmgren, but it got incoherent torwards the end and, well, I’m the only one who is allowed to be incoherent around here. So that was out. And there’s nothing else going on. What the hell are you supposed to write about when local teams have won three games IN THE PAST MONTH and any more posts about ex-Philly folks killing it would be trolling? But then it hit me: Today is Boston day in the sports world. Yet again, Boston. I love Boston as a city. If there’s one place I had to move, it’d probably be there. Big city stuff in a smaller package. Relatively clean. Beaches nearby. History. An indigenous community. Great sports teams… … all of whom can go fuck themselves. Just in the last 10 years: Patriots Won Super Bowl in 2003 Won Super Bowl in 2004 Lost Super Bowl in 2007 Lost Super Bowl in 2011 Four Super Bowls in 10 years, and that’s not counting their Super Bowl win in 2001 and Super Bowl loss in 1996. Bruins Won Stanley Cup in 2011 Lost Stanley Cup in 2013 Two of the last three Stanley Cup Finals. Celtics Won NBA Championship in 2008 Lost NBA Finals in 2010 Two Finals appearances, one win, and a thrilling seven-game series with the Heat in the past five years. Red Sox Won World Series in 2004 Won World Series in 2007 In World Series in 2013 86-year drought and then two World Series wins in three years, followed by another World Series appearance this year. In the past 10 years, Boston teams have won six championships (each at least one) and participated in 11 Finals series. And that doesn’t count the several conference-league finals the Patriots, Celtics and Red Sox have played in and lost. During that same timeframe, Philadelphia has seen three Finals series– 2004 Eagles (lost), 2008 Phillies (won– that’s still hard to write), 2009 Phillies (lost) and 2010 Flyers (lost). Nothing since, and no playoffs in what will wind up being close to two years, if not more. And, as you know, one championship in 30 years. Every fucking six months a Boston team is either competing for a championship or in the semifinals. Like clockwork, the sports world always comes back to and centers on Boston, so we can all talk about their townspeople and beards. The Red Sox break an 86-year drought in epic fashion. Bill Belichick creates a mini dynasty, beats the Eagles along the way, and Tom Brady marries a supermodel. The Bruins win a seven-game Finals series with a 400-year-old goalie and then, two years later, get back there after a three-goal comeback in THE THIRD PERIOD of Game 7 of the first round. The Celtics assemble an unlikable Dream Team, win the title, and Kevin Garnett screams into a microphone. The Red Sox bottom out, bounce back, and, of course with their beards and pine tar, are right back in the World Series. THEY’RE ALWAYS IN THE MIDDLE OF SHIT. And if it’s not winning, it’s drama. Aaron Hernandez. EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE RED SOX. Spygate. Beergate. Gronk’s existence. Doc Rivers and Bill Simmons. You name it, it probably happened in or involves someone from Boston. Obviously, it’s hard to root against the Red Sox this year, as their World Series appearance comes on the heels of the Boston Bombing. They’re the sentimental favorite, and rightfully so. But fuck if their obnoxious beards and we’re not the Yankees shtick isn’t trying really hard to make that not the case. Hey, Mike Napoli– YOU LOOK LIKE AN ASSHOLE. Salt– Do they really fucking call you that? You’re an insanely mediocre baseball player. You can’t grow facial hair, Shane. Oh yeah, just for good, historic measure, let’s grand slam our way into the Series with a former Phillie hitting one, and Big Papi, who doesn’t age, hitting another, which produced an iconic photo with Boston’s finest throwing his fists in the air in a photo composed by God himself because he loves him some Irish Catholic Bostonians. Oh an now there’s a rainbow and a pot of gold over the fucking Monster? Fuck you all. I hate sports right now.

Garnett on Rondo

Rondo is out for the season with a partial ACL tear, but the Celtics are on a 7 game winning streak since he went down. Here's KG on their success: "Well, the only way I can really explain it is when you see that Rondo does so many different great things for this team and you kind of get lackadaisical, if you will. It's very similar to if you have someone cooking for you and you're expecting it every day. All of a sudden someone's not there for you to do that, and now it's up to you to feed yourself. Then all of a sudden you start making these gourmet dishes and have more people over to the house, more people eating. You never know you possessed that unless you lost that person who was cooking. So it's kind of like that, you know what I mean?" ...and speaking of great KG food quotes, here's an oldie but goodie in response to the NBA rushing the 2011-12 season after the lockout: "Chemistry is something that you don't just throw in the frying pan and mix it up with another something, then throw it on top of something, then fry it up and put it in a tortilla and put in a microwave, heat it up and give it to you and expect it to taste good. You know? For those of you who can cook, y'all know what I'm talking about. If y'all can't cook, this doesn't concern you."

JJ DOOM - 'Ello Guv'na

This is MF DOOM's latest incantation. It's some new experimental shit he's doing- but the beat sounds a lot like Radiohead's last 2 albums. That said, it might be hard to get past how weird the beat is, but it's worth it. The video itself is awesome, and his lyrics are once again sublime

Death Angel Hamburgers!

Holy crap! This song is The Ultra Violence by Death Angel; quite possibly the sickest thrash instrumental of all time! There has been no point in my life where I thought anyone would think that this would be a good song to help sell hamburgers, but man am I friggin psyched to hear it!
