Like A Bucket Of Lard On A Bad Day

I was just thinking of this scene from Dirty Work and I thought I would put it up for no reason at all other than it's really fucking funny. All hail Don Rickles.

Cheesy Metal Videos Rule All

I love a lot of things in this life: My fiancee, my family, my friends, my cat Hank. But I'll tell ya, a good old fashioned cheesy metal video gives them all a run for their money. Check out some classic Yngwie Malmsteen. And to answer your question, yes there is a fire breathing dragon.

Okay, So I'm Kinda Digging The Ting Tings

So I know I'm not making some big underground discovery here, but I'm really digging the Ting Tings. They're fun and dumb and catchy as all hell. Sometimes you want something fun like that, you know. Check out a few of their singles. "Shut Up And Let Me Go" and "That's Not My Name". It will make you happy.

One More Christmas Thing, Okay?

Christmas is over? Really? But I just thought of a lame Christmas post! You know what, I'm using it anyway. This is Couldn't Care Less. And the only rule here is that there are no rules. Kind of going on Shade's post from the other day about Christmas movies, I thought of one. Granted it's not on the same level as his. In fact, it's kind of in its own league of awful. It's called Santa's Slay. That's right, a Christmas slasher film. I'll be honest, I haven't seen it, but I remember walking in Blockbuster once and seeing the cover. This movie stars none other than former WCW golden boy Bill Goldberg. So I guess he's an evil Santa who goes around killing people. Not exactly White Christmas, but whatever. I'm not going to go into the whole damn plot or anything. That's what Wikipedia is for. But here's the trailer. Check it out for yourself and maybe it will make it into your Christmas movie rotation.

Holiday Movies You May Have Missed

Every year they show the same ole Christmas specials and Holiday movies. You may have a must watch list already, but I propose you add a few more.

Sure we have all watched Charlie Brown’s pathetic Christmas, but that was nothing compared to the Christmases John McClane had to endure. In the first Die Hard he has to combat a bunch of terrorist thieves barefoot. In Die Hard 2 the action moves to an airport but he is still single handedly outsmarting bad guys all while trying to connect with his wife. And all the action takes place on Christmas. Ah, the holidays.


Still looking for some action, perhaps in a more ecstasy-fueled sort of way? Check out GO! This holiday caper weaves together three different intertwining stories as they relate to a big Christmas Eve rave called Mary SeXMas. Clever Eh? It came out around the time that everyone was trying to create the next Pulp Fiction, but it holds up pretty well aside from the dated rave-culture references. (Is it weird that the 90’s seem dated?) You can catch the whole movie on hulu.com for free.


Though GO! is billed as a comedy, it does not hold a candle to the greatest Holiday comedy of all times, Trading Places. This awesome movie takes place over the Christmas and New Year’s season. What better way to get into the holiday spirit than to watch Dan Akroyd and Eddie Murphy back when they were funny? Also Jaime Lee Curtis (and a couple of other chicks) show their tits, so everybody wins.

My last entry is a pretty popular Christmas movie and it may have made onto your list this year, but it is one of my favorites so I have to mention it. Scrooged. Yeah, it has a sappy ending and a good message but what do you want? It’s Christmas. It still has Bill Murray in one of his best roles ever and Carol Kane as a bad ass angel who hits him with a toaster. Peep the trailer below.

So there you are. Happy Holidays everybody!!!

A Green Christmas

So we all remember the "Hot Topic Is Not Punk Rock" song, right? No? Oh come on! Well, anyways MC Lars did that song and he's back with a new jam for the holidays. It's called "I'm Dreaming of a Green Christmas" and it features the singer of Bowling For Soup. Yeah, I'm struggling with cool Xmas stuff to put up so this is what you get. Enjoy

Okay, 3 More

Okay so in the last week I've gotten the chance to hear a few more albums that could have definitely made my top 10 list. You know, if I didn't already do it. Well, why don't we just call then honorable mentions and leave it that. Here's 5 albums that you should still hear, ya hear?
Made Out Of Babies-The Ruiner
Oh Julie Christmas, you're so angry! And it sounds so good. You ever wonder what Alanis Morisette would sound like fronting a punk/metal band? This gives you a good idea. I kept hearing about how great this record was until I finally gave it a spin. A little of kilter, some killer riffs, and crazy vocals. Hearing Christmas scream "Run, run for your life!" in "Cooker" makes you want to do just that. Solid stuff. Oh yeah she's kinda hot, too.

Misery Index-Traitors
Wow, Holy Shit! This one is is short and to the point. Like hey, we're Misery Index and for the next 30 minutes or so, we're gonna play some insanely good death metal really fucking fast, spit some political knowledge and then we're done. Unreal. Incredible record.
Kings of Leon-Only By The Night
Yeah, I know this is Couldn't Care Less and not Rolling Stone. I know I may be killing whatever cred I have left. But you know what? This is a pretty damn good album. It's pretty chill, you can't have people screaming at you all the time, right? It's a fun little album. And "Sex On Fire" is fucking awesome, and so is the new single "Use Somebody". Solid.

My Top 10 2008...couldnt think of anything else

The mundane mendacity of my macabre morbidity continues.

So my top ten is dumb. Was going to do books but have only read one this year (it was ok as books go, thanks for asking) Then maybe movies but only saw a couple movies so I cant really do that. So doing the top ten deaths of 2008. Dumb, yeah I only got a couple so to round out the ten I am going to need you guys out there to help me out. Send in your ideas on who should make the top ten. To start the countdown we have Frank Lawrence "Lefty" Rosenthal. Died in October, he was the guy that Deniro played in Casino thus the clip. The Mob tried to blow him

up but well they made Caddies special back then. Not like now but still its a Caddie.

(just give me a reason to jazz up the joint and maybe get some sponsers, oh what GM is going bankrupt, Damn)((Ok got to go wrap this puppy up)) Here is a obituary if you want to read more about lefty and his name links to his wikipedia page. So heres to you Lefty hope you hit the jackpot in the sky.

Thumbs Down's Top 3 Albums Of 2008

Well, here we go! Which albums made it into the top 3 for 2008? Let's find out, shall we? I know you're on the edge of your seat, so lets get to it.
3.Guns N Roses-Chinese Democracy. No, that's not a typo. This album is really that good. Okay, maybe I'm a little biased because I'm a big mark for Axl Rose, but these songs are really solid. It's fun to listen to. There's some great melodies and the guitar work is fucking amazing. I still say the Steven Adler was the best drummer they ever had and here the drums aren't exciting. But the songs are just epic. There was no way this album could have lived up to the hype after all these years. But it certainly delivered as far as I'm concerned.
2. Lil Wayne-The Carter 3. It's not all rock and metal on my list. I have to go along with everyone else and admit the greatness that was The Carter 3. Having been a fan of Wayne since the Hot Boys days, it's been fun to watch him turn into one of the biggest names in music today. "Lollipop" was one of the biggest songs of the year. "A Milli" and "Got Money"were right behind it and "Mrs Officer" is following right along. This album still has legs. Not a big fan of Robin Thicke being on this album, but that goes without saying. I have a feeling this will be his peak, but you never know.
And finally the number 1 album of the year is...

Local H- 12 Angry Months-I'm sure this comes as no surprise. The album that isn't on anyones list for the year but really should be. Yes, Local H is still around. Not only that but they've made the best album of their career. If you've ever had a rough breakup, this album is for you. Each song represents a month of feelings about a breakup. From trying to get back your record collection ("Where's all my Kyuss records/You never liked em until you met me") to meeting your ex's new boyfriend ("BMW Man"). From being sad about the split, to trying to move on to someone new ("Taxi Cabs") it covers it all. Not to mention how catchy alot of these songs are. Bottom line: You NEED to hear this album. It's good enough be my #1 album this year.

Yeah! Rock N Roll!

So last night in San Francisco at the Great American Music Hall, High On Fire kicked our collective asses. We've probably seen them 5 or 6 times and they have yet to let us down. Matt Pike was incredible and the band is just so tight. But drummer Des Kensel gets me every time. SO fucking solid. However, I also have to mention Drunk Horse who opened the show. They were jamming some cool bluesy shit last night. All in all it was one to remember. Aside from the crooks who run the parking garage, it was a perfect night. So I figured we'd enjoy something from both bands. Below check out Drunk Horse playing "Skydog" and then after the jump check out High On Fire playing the title track of their last album, Death Is This Communion. Ah yeah!

Santa's Twin Brother?

Santa Clause had an evil twin brother? Who knew? Evidently The WWF knew when they introduced him in 1995. Not surprisingly, he didn't stick around long. Just long enough to torment wrestling fans through the holidays.

Top 10 Albums Of 2008: 6-4

Okay so just like Ratt, I'm back for more (Sorry, I had to). It's time for the next installment in my top 10 albums of 2008 list. I know you've been holding your breath since the last time. Go ahead, let it out. It's okay.
6.Arsis-We Are The Nightmare
Holy Shit! Tech-death played perfectly. This album is phenomenal and I kept going back to it. from the evil vocals to the shredding guitars, everything about this album wins. Oh and the songs are good too.

5.Kataklysm-Prevail
For some reason, this album just defines metal to me. I put this on and there's no doubt what I'm listening to. Solid, brutal metal that should be played really fucking loud. I love this album.
4.Trivium-Shogun
Who needs Metallica in 2008? We've got Trivium. This seems like an underrated record to me. I think it's great. Killer hooks, a little melody, awesome guitars. Shit, what else do you people want? Damn!
Wow it's so excitng. We're getting so close to the end. I hope all (2) of you can sense my sarcasm. Who's in my top 3? Find out at some point. I'm sure it will be before the year ends. Laters.

Another One Bites The Dust

Another wrestler suddenly passes away. This was a much bigger deal last year after Chris Benoit killed his family. There were supposed to be senate hearings and goverment regulation. Uh yeah, not so much. Chris Bell is the wrestler who died. He wasn't well known, however his brother made a documentary called Bigger, Stronger, Faster about steroids in sports. Chris Bell was supposedly a big part of the movie because of his steroid use. However, when I read the name, it sounded familiar for another reason. Then it hit me that he was the jobber in the ring that Perry Saturn took liberties with and beat the shit out of. I remember hearing about that back in the day. Thankfully there's YouTube and we have that video for you. At about the 2:20 mark, Bell blows an armdrag spot and Saturn tears him apart. Not the greatest way to be remembered, but I'm sure there are worse ways. RIP Mike Bell. By the way, what the fuck ever happened to Perry Saturn?

My Top 10 Albums Of 2008...10-7

Okay so here's the deal, I thought I would separate my Top 10 Albums of The Year post instead of just one crazy long post cause I got some stuff to say about them. So little by little my Top 10 list will come to fruition. It will kind of be like a David Lynch movie, only this will all make sense.

10.Electric Wizard: Witchcult Today
So technically I'm cheating here because this album officially dropped in November of 2007, but I haven't gotten into it until recently so fuck off. This record is just massive, riffs so drugged out you can smell the resin. Droned vocals, slow killer groove. This is the soundtrack for being stoned out of your fucking head. Dopethrone was a classic, but I think I would put this one right there with it. Solid shit from the Wizard.

9.Origin-Antithesis
So, yeah this thing is insane. It would be fascinating to know how these guys come up with these songs. But I guess the bigger question would be: How does that guy drum that fucking fast? No, really how? Insane playing all over this album, to the point of amazement. Oh and its mind-blowingly brutal too.

8.Psycroptic-ob(servant)
Technical death metal from Australia is a good thing. I really like this album. I just heard about them, checked em out and was instantly hooked.

7. Radiohead- In Rainbows
What can you say: It's Radiohead. They're just so friggin good its ridiculous. Sometimes it just blows my mind the things they do. I had a great experience with this album: I bought the actual record, read the lyrics while I listened just like I did when I was a kid. I've always gone back and forth on this band. I still don't get Kid A, and I'm not all that crazy about Amnesiac either, but everything else wins. Also I think this one came out last year too but I just don't give a fuuuuck!
Okay so that's it for now. But the rest will follow.

Odds vs Ends, Duff VS goth baller+apologies

No not really, was looking for a picture of a goth basketball player for this post but it would seem goths dont play to many sports. Who woulda of thunk it and that picture would have added that lil dash of humor that would put this post over the top but now well its just another post that would be perfect in OMG. Saw a tease to a post about the Duffer messing around with jesus you cant but not nibble on that hook, and after reading it i was mad as hell. Here is the post that caught my eye. She went and messed around scored a triple double and used personal jesus (wow dont remeber the vid but it looks like a killers vid) by depeche mode for her new song. It isnt bad especially the hook makes you want to do a speedball again.

Now dont get me wrong depeche mode are a legendary musical group that will be forgotten but to have their song misused like that brings a smile to my face. What made me mad is its for Hillary Duff's best of Album. What! She has a best of? You have got to be kidding me.....So onto the apolgy...That Who am I gimmick... I stole that from TMZ....Saw them do the Macho Man one and thought it was a good idea..So in giving them their due here is the orignal post and one of Macho Mans finest moments

along with a another link to TMZ and a sad moment with Bret the hitman Hart. The goth baller thing grew out of the Academy of Art University having a basketball team the URBAN Knights.
They played USF not long ago and got beat bad. But the thought was what if some goth art kid had a great sky hook but got all mopey in the second quarter and just climbed the backboard...ok dumb idea but arent they all especially using personal jesus at least use Depeche Mode's Everything Counts

This post is already to long but in dead of winter thoughts of spring and baseball start to edge into my head. With players signing with new teams I will let scott lucas sum it up for me,
no not lucas scott.(people make these things?) But if the sounds of baseball is something you still would like to hear might I recomend some RBI. Conor Lastowka put together the bottom of the 10th to rbi. So sit back and listen or watch those salient sounds & sights of baseball.

But before i go could i axe Beyonce to cover Fritzs corner by local h in a r&b neo soul kinda of way heres how the H do it.

Get Well, Chi

So for those that haven't heard, Deftones bassist Chi Cheng was in a car accident over a month ago and has been in a coma ever since. Obviously this is some fucked up shit. The last update from the band said that he was transferred to brain rehab facility. Hopefully he pulls out of this soon. We here at CCL wish him the best. I've seen the Deftones I don't know how many times over the years and they never disappoint. Here's the video for "Mein" from the Deftones last (and criminally underrated) album Saturday Night Wrist. And just because i like it, after the jump check out the rarely seen video for "Digital Bath" Get well, man.

A He-Man Christmas

When you think of Christmas, He-Man probably isn't the first thing that pops into your head. Maybe now it will be. Here's the beginning of the He-Man (oh, and She-Ra) Christmas special from God knows how many years ago. This was my favorite cartoon as a kid. I was so young and naive that until years later I never realized how gay Prince Adam was. Not that there's anything wrong with that. However, as young as I was I never thought She-Ra was a good idea. Not that I'm a woman-hater or anything but come one, that flying horse thing she rides is fucking lame. Anyways, enjoy.

Top 10 Lists

It's almost the end of the year and that means it's time for year end lists. I thought I would do a top 10 Album of the year list just for the hell of it. Now some of you may already know what my number #1 may be, however we'll find out for sure in due time. In the latest issue of Decibel, they gave the #1 album spot to Torche's Meanderthal. I was shocked at that, yet can't say it's undeserved. Torche made a great record. Where will it land on my meaningless top 10 list? Who knows and really who cares. I'm probably the only person into it. I'm a big fan of year end magazines, top 10 lists and the like. So I'm challenging the other two writers here at CCL to write up a top 10 list of their choosing before 2008 comes to a close. C'mon let's get our Letterman on, yo. Let's do something fun because this year is almost over, and who knows, maybe someone will actually read it.
In the meantime check out a band who will surely make my top 10 this year: Kataklysm. This is their new video for "Blood In Heaven". This album is what metal is supposed to be. Laters.

A Twisted Christmas...Fuck Yeah!

We continue on looking at Christmas bullshit. Nothing says Christmas time like...uh Twisted Sister? You guessed it. Dee Snider and the boys released a Christmas album last year. Check out their rendition of "O Come All Ye Faithful"


I know what you're thinking: Damn, dude, I want more! I couldn't agree more. But lets tweek things just a little bit. How about Twisted Sister, joined by Lita Ford?!?! I gotta say, Lita is still looking pretty hot after all these years.

There you go. Keep checking back for more dumb stuff that's Christmans related. All right, Oh Yeah.

For Those About To Rock!...Uh Yeah I Saw AC/DC Last Night

It seems as if 75% of AC/DC songs are either about Hell or Rock N Roll, or some combination of the two. Not that there's anything wrong with that. In fact, that's what makes AC/DC so fucking great.

I can't lie, it was an incredible feeling to see this band live. It took me back to being a kid. To be being in high school when my old friend Ryan used to do the Angus Young walk while playing his guitar. I've always wanted to see these guys and finally my wish came true.
The show started with their new single "Rock N Roll Train". It's classic AC/DC. In fact, their new songs fit right in with the classics, like "Back In Black" and "Highway To Hell". I was surprised that they played "Shoot To Thrill", but enjoyed it noonetheless. But the fact that they played "Whole Lotta Rosie" made the night for me. And after an Angus guitar solo, they finished the night off with "For Those About To Rock (FIRE!). All in all a tremendous night. And, although they didn't play it, here's a clip of one of my favorite AC/DC james, "Flick Of The Switch.

He Didn't Say That! Tell Me He Didn't Just Say That!

Who said hockey was boring? Dallas Stars forward Sean Avery made some interesting comments about his ex-girlfriend, actress Elisha Cuthbert. Referencing Cuthbert's new boyfriend, Calgary Flames defenseman Dion Phaneuf he had this to say:



Wow! So what happened in all of this? Well, the NHL has decided to suspend Avery indefinitely. I guess the question would be, Really? Isn't that a little much. I mean sure the guy was being an asshole for saying it, but come on it's sports, you know? The NHL should be happy that people are talking about them right now. Christ, it's not like the guy shot himself in a nightclub. Give the guy a break. He's just being a guy. I mean it's not like anyone gives a shit about hockey.*




*I actually like hockey, but I never really watch it like i used to. Go Sharks.

It's Christmas Time In Hollis, Queens!

Well, it's that time of year again. Time for egg nog and trees and presents and Jingle All The Way. So how about getting into the holdiday spirit, huh? I will make it my personal mission to give you plenty of reasons to enjoy the holidays this year. And what better way to do that than Run DMC's "Christmas In Hollis"?. Well, of course, there is no better way. Yeah!

Cereal Obsession - Honeycomb's Big

We all know Honeycomb's big. Yeah Yeah Yeah. It is not small, No No No. After all its got a big honey taste as well as a big big crunch for a big big bite. But maybe you didn't know...

Honeycomb has had a sordid history of just falling off. Back in the 80's they caught fire with an unforgettable jingle (Remember running around screaming it at the top of your lungs? No? I guess you suck then). These commercials always revolved around the Honeycomb Hideout. Some one such as Kung-Fu Louie would come looking for a big cereal and would provoke the singing of the song. Peep this visitor:



And they weren't kidding; Honeycomb was big. It had the biggest box in the cereal isle because it was a super air puffed corn concoction much like Corn Pops. Unlike the Pops (which, by the way, I gotta have) it was infused with honey. This was a clever way of adding sugar without having the parents get their panties in a bunch. Honey is good for you after all, its natural. Problem was, Honeycomb just added sugar anyway. It is the 3rd ingredient; honey is the 5th.

In 1995 Honeycomb changed its ad campaign to include a mascot. I guess they felt kids needed a cartoon character like Lucky or the Captain to sell cereal so they came up with a fuzzy little maniacal CGI critter named (I am not making this up) Crazy Craving. Guess what he was cursed with? That's right a crazy craving for Honeycomb. The commercials sucked and did not have nearly the appeal of the old slogan.

This I did not know. In 2006 Honeycomb changed their flavor to be more health conscious. I know. What could be more healthy than honey flavored sugary corn? Apparently there was a huge backlash amongst die-hard Honeycomb fans. Who are these people? So Post changed the recipe again and sent out free boxes to everyone that wrote them. See what literacy can get you? Free Cereal. (That reminds me of that scene in Summer School where Chainsaw writes the sunglass people about his cheapo busted shades and they send him a whole box of goofy reject sunglasses. I loved that movie. )

Another thing you may not know. M-Fers got Strawberry and Chocolate Honeycomb now.

Anyway, have a bowl of cereal and post a comment.
