I'm pretty sure that Noel Gallagher is England's greatest musical export since the days of Zep/Who. Even if he and his brother are cunts. Noel is way LESS of a cunt, at least.
Beat Happening? You? Did you listen to any shitty bands like Sebadoh or Sonic Youth?
To show my appreciation, I am a big Sepultura fan. Or was...
Sonic Youth, completely, sure. I don't know what a Sebadoh is. There was a time when I would listen Sonic Youth's first album (teenage... something? Riot?) almost every day.
One of the Cavaleras had a store in a shopping near my house, I would often see him there and we would awkwardly stare at each other for some reason. I never really liked his shirts or his music, I think he felt the bad vibe when I walked by.
You know what also came out of Sweden?
These guys:
That's right.
He's alright. His brother is absolutely horrible though. Oasis did some ok stuff.
I'll tell you what though - next to Dolph Lundgren, who is A+ top tier, Sweden's second best export was Alcazar.
Never heard of them. They look waaaay too young to be making gay fuck music like Alcazar does.
Americans never had the A-Teens huh? Lucky you.

Isn't Camera Obscura from sweden? I like them. Had my share of hipster sex by introducing Camera Obscura to girls.
I never liked any form of heavy metal. I was in a crowd that enjoyed stuff like Blind Guardians a lot and I just went "well, if this is what you consider good, then good luck with that". I kind of knew that there were a whole lot of different subgenres and stuff, but then, the people who liked those subgenres also liked Blind Guardians, so yeah, Blind Guardians made me immune to metal.
Is Black Label Society considered heavy metal or some other kind of metal? Regardless, they opened for GNR and were THE WORST. Christ. Just awful. The only band that I've seen that might be worse was the Tragically Hip, who opened for The Who. Straight up garbage. And I worked at a concert venue (Deer Creek 4LYFE) and ended up working Ozfest and Warped Tour, with such great acts like Korn. And Korn was really, really bad. But BLS was on a whole new level of "what the fuck am I listening to".

Breeze needs to be the new narcissist
Had a weird memory just now of the Pointer Sisters playing while I had sex a ways back. He's So Shy - dope-ass song, no idea why it came on at the time.
Weird, I enjoy BLS a lot - and Zakk Wylde is accomplished as fuck. Maybe it was just a shitshow, somehow?
Tragically Hip fucking sucks.
sblargh if I go Max Payne and come visit will I be robbed? Yes I will go to dangerous areas.
We'll consider you protected by the gods if all that happens to you is losing your money. But when people ask me about how dangerous São Paulo is, I just point to The Wire and say that if that's an accurate representation of Baltimore, then it's better than that.
Obviously, you can't joke around about walking into a favela looking like a playboy gym rat and then revealing yourself to be a tourist the first time you say anything. I really fear for the drunk soccer tourists who will come to the world cup and then decided that a favela is a tourist attraction. People won't leave this world cup alive if they are coming thinking like this.
There's actually nothing exotic or mysterious about it. Some parts of the cities are drug trafficking territories, just like they exist everywhere else in the world, and just like everywhere else, if you're there at the wrong time, you will get shot.

- WWE is said to be interested in current IWGP Jr. Champion Kota Ibushi, who is considered by some to be the best high-flyer in wrestling. Last year Ibushi became the first Japanese wrestler to sign a dual contract where he's a regular with the DDT promotion but works big shows for New Japan Pro Wrestling.

Just a rumour?
Plus Luger had that elbow
Thats where it broke down for me. Now, understand, that Im from a certain era called the ATTITUDE ERA. And during the ATTITUDE ERA, yeah-we did things like this. We even brought in Santa Claus so AUSTIN COULD DROP HIM ON HIS HEAD WITH A STUNNER!!! Which is my point-you want to get heat on Swagger? Than LET HIM DROP THE SILLY RABBIT!!! Thats heatATTITUDE heat. OR-are we not allowed to do that because were family friendly now? I dont know-not there-dont know the rules.
World Cup shouldn't even exist. What a fucking mess they are. Unbelievable. There's gotta be a better way.
Oh, and it totally became a scape goat for a lot of bad things around here. Brazillians have this simplistic notion that if money is being invested on the world cup, then it's not being invested in hospitals or schools (like we had a golden age of health care and education that suddenly ended because stadiums had to be built). Anyway, in an actually clever move, sectors of the society like public transportation are threatening to strike during the world cup and they have the support of the population because public transport sucking is also the world cup's fault. I don't think we're in any kind of political instability, there's no revolution waiting to happen or anything like that, but brazillians found out that taking the streets with signs while chanting is an enjoyable outdoor activity that has the plus side of making legitimate demands be heard by the powers that be.
So there's this feeling that will be chaos. Because an influx of tourists for an event this big is always chaotic, and to add to that, we'll riot (in a soft, mostly non-violent, with only a few destruction of public patrimony here and there) whenever we feel we'll be the most inconvenient time for everyone trying to enjoy soccer matches.
I'm just going to stay at home and watch some wrasslin'.

Soccer is one of the worst sports anyway. Kick a ball into a goal - no challenge. Hockey runs a close second, being a room-sweeping challenge on ice.
Luger sucks so much, but I like the elbow and I like the torture rack

Hmm... well they did sign KENTA, so I wouldn't say it's impossible. I like this Triple H thing of actually signing wrestling talent and not just a bunch of "potential"-type guys who have never wrestled before.

Ok Vince... below is two gifs, showing two different sports. One is Hockey, the other one does feature "sweeping". Which is which?
Answers in the spoiler:
Top is Curling (showing sweeping), bottom is Hockey. Both are Olympic Winter Sports.
