like a king without a crown....

Hey wow! Did you guys know that Run DMC is working on a broadway musical? Or that Metallica is joining the search for their missing fan? How about matisyahu? He’s got a new record coming out! Yay! That’s great right? Sure it is…sigh. These, my sweet little dogs of war, are clues to my insane frustration. I have to go to work, and I’m trying to set this shit up so if IF this exciting news posts today I can keep you all informed by updating my blog using my phone. Don’t really know if that’s gonna work though. I’m sorry. I was led astray. I got everyone excited early (including myself) only to drag our collective dicks/dangling lips through the dirt for two days. Fuck.
Well, if it’s any consolation, practice was great last night. We played through the setlist for our ten year anniversary show on Saturday, and it’s cool. It’s about thirty songs, which is a ton. Hope you’re ready for it, Dogs.
God, I hate Matisyahu. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, liking matisyahu is proof positive that you’re racist. He’s terrible. His flow is weak, his rhymes are lAAAAAAAAme, his singing, barely in tune. If he was a black guy, Jamaican or otherwise, he’d be recognized as the untalented dildo box that he is, but since he’s “quirky” (read: dipshit Phish fan turned fake Hasid) he’s suddenly recognized as bringing something legit to the table? Huh. That’s odd. I don’t recall Phish fans or Hasids being galvanizing hip-cultural phenomena ever before…or since. So, well, can’t be that. What else does he have that no other dancehall reggaeton types have? Oh yes. Whiteness. Stop staring at me, Matisyahu. You’re a dipshit and I know, I KNOW that you at one point in your life wore sandals and smoked ‘dank buds’ through a hand blown chillum while listening to ‘run like an antelope.’ Now, you’re pushing the jew-black racial tensions even more than anyone ever thought possible by pissing off everyone. Look out, Professor Griff. Your Neo has arrived.
I can’t even talk about this anymore. I’m frustrated.
Again, sorry for the lack of info. Believe me, this bums me out as much as, or more than it does you.

I can’t take it anymore!

I hereby submit my resignation as not only a sock but also as a Do(n)g of War.

B-Dawg,

I don't think you can comprehend how blue my balls are right now. Why is this, you may ask? Well, first of all, you've teased my penis hardcore in the past 48 hours with your empty promises. Second, tomorrow I board a plane from Texas with my best friends to see what I expect to be the most epic show of my life. I'll even be sleeping on a stranger's floor, a lad I met on the .org boards. Oh! How I need a release!

Let's bang fuckin' hard,
Sir Franklin

seems like it won't even be exciting anymore.

30 songs will totally make up for these past few days of psychological torture

Jesus said...

I think anyone who's going has any right to complain. Period.

In fact, all the poor losers who aren't should recieve some sort of consolidation prize; like a hat or buttsex with someones dog. I don't know. Maybe a live DVD of the show?

I'm just chucking ideas around.

Unknown said...

If you guys aren't gonna film this for a live DVD you're fucking stupid. :)

Scott said...

really wish I could be at the show, however I am seeing your boyfriend Dan at the Trocadero tonight, so that should be fun.

Bukakkalypse Now!

Don't complain guys. BK is doing this FOR US. Blue-balled or not, we still love him, and him us. When he can unload his package on us, he will. Period.

Also, 30 songs? Shit. I can't imagine what the set list will look like, but I'm sure it will be grand.

-Your intern (although you never emailed me back congratulating me on 'getting the job' or telling me when I start, or settling my pay or anything).

I completely endorse Joseph's comment. If this extravaganza is not transmitted to a visual format in one way or another, hell will be raised!

If this isn't announced before your 10th anniversary show, your brother will be in the crowd with his football buddies and start the chant "Brendan has a man-gina!"

However, this is all assumption.

Ted Yang said...

And my guess is that The Lawrence Arms are putting on an off-off-Broadway musical about finding their missing fan, but it will all be a distraction for the real thing - a Matisyahu covers album.

the fact that I am missing this makes me so sad.

You owe me a new pair of pants. Because I destroyed them upon discovering this thirty song nonsense.

Jesus.

that shit about matisyahu is true. I have a buddy who went to high school with him in white plains, ny. He said that the bastard smoked until his eyes bled every day.
