That's right, the RebelBros are based out of Denver and damned proud of it. I've been taking pictures whenever possible throughout my time here and I'd like to share some of my favorites with you. I hope that you enjoy and if you don't, then please don't tell me because I will crack like an egg. I'll try and add new ones every week.
I have a love/hate relationship with the experimental/avant garde music of Kayo Dot. My personal breakdown of their discography is that of a sad one. To this day I still worship and adore their first two records Choirs Of The Eye and Dowsing Anemone With Copper Tongue, both of which are challenging, yet rewarding listens. Then comes Blue Lambency Downward and the infamous Coyote, which made me begin to grapple with the idea that this band that I once found so interesting and important was evolving into a miasma of uninteresting melodies and uncontrolled pompousness. They then released the Stained Glass E.P. which showed a glitter of promise, but nothing that made me want to consider my opinion that this train had left the station.
Then, earlier this year, I heard a trailer for their upcoming double-album, Hubardo. Double album? Hmmm......Toby Driver is playing guitar and singing again? Okay, okay.........FREE CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST?!?!?!?!?!?! If they have bacon I am going to freak out.
Now they've dropped a new track, and ladies and gentlemen, I'm back on board.....kinda. Granted, this will probably be the best song on the album and I'll get my hopes let down again BUT UNTIL THAT TIME I'm going to listen to this over and over until this fucker drops. Only time will tell......but I think this might be in my top ten list at the end of 2013.............
So ok, your diameter octuples when you have a dog on a leash. Take that into consideration. Also, if you're sitting eating a burrito in Chipotle looking out the glass at your dog, tethered to a hitching post, barking, barking, barking her fucking face off, you should probably go get her. Burritos after all, are portable. Also, hair travels, poop requires plastic bags, and pee pee makes grass ochre. Also, your dog is always in someone's way. Refer back to the first sentence of this essay.
But there's a turn! Shyamalaned, bitches. Which either means A. There's a cute moppet kid character in this diatribe or B. it's the twist thing.
Well I recently acquired a lovely dog due to star-crossed lovership. Yes madams and scoundrels, the person you thought abhorred the K9 kind is actually a new man! I was the dude eating a burrito watching my dog bark incessantly at me through Chipotle's window. What did I say when two blonde women judgmentally asked 'geez, that your dog barking?' 'No,' I said. 'She's woofing.'
Having a creature of the Cerberus persuasion is all about manners, people. Dog etiquette. Refer to Emily Post's 18th edition of Etiquette, find 'dog' in the index. Guess what it says about being a proper, respectable dog owner: BE A PROPER, RESPECTABLE DOG OWNER. Clean up after your dog. Minimize spacial invasion and barking. Don't be a scumbag. If there's anything more, throw me a Scooby Snack--zing!
It occurs that everyone should know how much everyone makes. The old class courtesies of keeping quiet about our annual salaries still exist? Why is it you can know exactly where I am and what I'm doing or witness right along with my wife my son's first steps, but you can't ask me how much money I make? The silliest sector of privacy that remains is this, a token of leverage that provides the upperclass with a way to remain casually in control. The privatization of your income is the line in the sand, not how much money you make. Isn't it strange how the more you make, the more you have to hide?
Everyone in America wants to be American, and America is working class. I recently learned the average US CEO makes in a day what the average US worker makes in a year, lack of quotations around 'worker' intentional. Remember Mitt Romney's jettison in a campaign of jettisons when he wouldn't release his tax returns? He would have never encountered this problem if personal finance records were public information. Of course, those to the political right want to know everything about you unless you're a corporation, buying a gun, or a pedophiliac priest. As long as the Supreme Court is even split as it is, well, here we go. I guess I would prefer my illusion of a progressive system to be a little more... progressive. What I'm saying is that the shallow materialism that provides one hit wonders with solid gold grills is actually authentic, while feigning favoritism for Piggly Wiggly over Whole Foods is snidely excessive. Are you working when you clock in or out?
Meanwhile, I contradictorily ride my income like Shadowfax. I love the pity and admiration my 23K a year inspires in people. But then again when it comes to telling income, it's all about who you're telling. Courtesies, The Brothers Rebel
Well, they've been teasing this game for over a year now with screenshots and then more screenshots and then......surprise, more screenshots. Now that we're around two months until the game is released on Xbox360 and Playstation 3, we finally have the first gameplay footage of GTA V. Looks like there will be some interesting changes in the series, such as the ability to switch between three different characters during a mission. It looks like they are implementing some ideas from Rockstar's other well known franchises such as Red Dead Redemption's weapon wheel and Max Payne styled gunplay, which are good things. Check it out for yourself and start drooling over the amount of carnage that is soon to be unleashed. GTA V will be released on September 17th, 2013.
Hey there bro's and lady bro's, hope you had a great July 4th weekend like we did. I, once again, saved the entire planet from being destroyed by successfully stopping a massive army of super intelligent aliens from invading us. I even chased one down in an airplane and when I pulled that son of a bitch out of his ship I jacked him in the face and said something cool like "Welcome to Earth" totally off the cuff. Oh sure, that sounds exactly like the plot from Independence Day you say........well I have a fertile imagination that can get a little carried away sometimes, alright?
Back to business as usual, then. I like this video by the Strawberry Girls for a ton of reasons. First off, it's a killer track. Second, I love strawberries and whoever invented them. Finally, I keep waffling between whether this is actual live footage of the band or a music video. After some deliberation I've decided this is them performing live so.....fuck, man. Fuuuuuuuuck. LISTEN. NOW.
(The Late) Kim Jong-Il VS. (The Late) Zachary Hale Comstock [Enter All Whom by Spoilers Shrug] Both Men… 1. Rule secluded, totalitarian states. 2. Integrate their effigy excessively through statue, pictograph, and monument within state. 3. Revise history. 4. Segregate their ‘useful’ and ‘useless’ populations. 5. Have museums crediting their unfounded, anachronistic achievements. 6. Surround their citizens with auditory incentives, affronts. 7. Reward loyalists of their ideologically bastioned regimes. 8. Run reeducation and life imprisonment zones. 9. Abhor the United States. 10. Live in fear. 11. Exist in a fractious yet infinite loop. 12. Found their successors by tearing a time/space rift and purloining one. 13. Are brutal, dead dictators that ought to have videogames based around them.
