Blur, one of the greatest rock bands in the UK??? I think so!

1 Comment

Last week, I took some time to listen to all of Blur’s albums in their discography. I’ve been a longtime fan of this band. The only albums I’ve heard by Blur over the years was “Parklife” and their 1997 self titled album with the hit song, “Song 2” on it. I decided to listen to the rest of their albums and all 8 Blur albums are really great. They’re really great songwriters. Their music can get pretty tight and unique.

I even listened to their new album, “The Magic Whip” a couple of times which is a really good record. You should check it out yourself. “The Magic Whip” is definitely one of the best new records of this year. I heard all 8 of their albums, thanks to Apple Music.

I’m sure you’ve heard of Blur before but you’ve probably only heard their songs on the radio, the internet or have seen their videos. You should listen to their records too. The singer has a good voice and I dig their guitar playing as well.

Blur rocks.

Sorry to disappoint you again, libs. I wonder what they’re gonna try on him next? Dinesh is not insane and delusional.

He’s a very smart and intelligent guy. Libs can’t stand it.

When conservatives attack Donald Trump, they weren’t real conservatives to begin with… so f**k them…

Leave a comment

So because more conservatives and more GOP candidates have been attacking Donald Trump lately doesn’t mean he’s wrong. All that is proving is how politically correct the right can be as well. Some right wingers think they are “conservative” but they are not. They’re just liberals pretending to be “conservative”. Donald Trump is the true hardcore conservative and everybody knows it. That’s a big part of why I think a lot of people are getting scared of the guy. He’s driving both parties crazy and that’s a good thing.

Why are some of the GOP candidates attacking Donald Trump and disagreeing with him a lot lately? Probably because they’re just trying to take away some of Trump’s voters which isn’t working. More and more conservatives attack those who condemn Trump for saying things. Notice that?

Keep in mind that the elections are just around the corner and Trump’s “haters” are gonna do whatever it takes to destroy the guy hoping he would step down from the election. As the election gets closer, people will always do whatever they can to destroy him. People are just scared of Trump becoming the next president. Trump made the other GOP candidates look weak and they are forgettable now.

I have been noticing that some so-called “conservatives” have been bashing Donald Trump on twitter so I just block them all. This is the only reason why some are siding with McCain, they’re hoping to turn off Trump’s voters. Some of Trump’s voters already turned their backs on him but they were fake conservatives too. You’re a true conservative when you stand by him and not take anything he says seriously.

Obama has been doing so many offensive things to the military over the years like the Chattanooga shootings for example and Obama never gets any outrage. What about when Obama left 4 Americans dead in Benghazi but libtard media and the left never gave him any outrage for it. People give Obama a free pass in everything. Obama can say and do all kinds of offensive things to the military and Obama gets no flak.

Yet everybody is worried about what Trump says. If you’re a Trump hater then you are probably a liberal. They’re always gonna find ways to make Trump look bad but all it’s doing is helping him like I said before. More and more people support Trump ’cause they love how he fights back at the PC crowd. Everybody wants to be politically correct on everything and Trump is fed up with it.
That’s why Trumps polls are surging and getting higher.

Some predict that Trump is not gonna win the nomination but I think he will so keep the hate going. He’s doing good driving both sides crazy. It’s what he needs to do to win the nomination.

So when people condemn Trump for his comments they are only making themselves look bad. When you side with McCain instead of Trump, you know what that tells me? It means that you agree with McCain’s comments that we’re all crazy. John McCain wasn’t just referring to Trump’s supporters either, McCain was referring to America as a whole. So to give Trump the backlash instead of McCain is absolutely ludicrous. Like I said, it’s McCain who went out of line but everybody gave him a free pass ’cause of his “war hero” status. Are you freakin’ kidding me? Get fucking real, people! *yawn*

Bruce Springsteen plays surprise two hour bar show in New Jersey…

Leave a comment

The Boss maybe taking a break from the E Street band at this time but he decided to make a surprise appearance at a small bar in New Jersey called, The Wonder Bar. Musician Joe Gruschecky had a gig there and all of a sudden he invited a surprise special guest.

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/bruce-springsteen-plays-surprise-two-hour-bar-show-in-new-jersey-20150719

Some of you may find this a little strange but before Springsteen got big and famous, he was just like the rest of us local musicians. When the Boss first started rockin’ in bands, he started playing in small bars where only a few people would show up. So fame and fortune didn’t happen for him over night for sure. He came a long way to get where he is today.

Why did he accept this gig at the Wonder Bar?

Probably because since the E Street Band is on a break or something, he probably couldn’t stand sitting around and doing nothing so he took upon the opportunity since he was free. He just wanted to play again.

Hmmm, Apple won’t let me sync Apple Music albums to my Ipod Touch…

Leave a comment

Today, I tried syncing a few albums I wanted to check out to my old Ipod Touch but it won’t let me. It will only let me sync albums I bought from the Itunes store but they won’t let you sync albums downloaded from Apple Music. Ah well, if I want to listen to Apple Music on the go, I’m gonna have to buy a recent edition of the Ipod Touch, the latest version so I can get Apple Music on it. I read somewhere you can get Apple Music on the Ipod Touch but only the newer versions.

So I should probably get the Ipod Touch 5th Generation and I could get a 32 GB player for $250 which isn’t bad.

Maybe next time I win the jackpot at the Bingo games, I’ll definitely buy one then. Yeah, I’ve been going to Bingo games on a weekly basis for a while now hoping to win some extra cash. I did win the jackpot once before and hoping to win it again. I did win a couple of Bingo games. I go to Bingo ’cause it’s fun and something to do, ya know? I just hope to win some extra cash for myself. When I win the jackpot again, I’ll buy myself a new Ipod touch. Bingo is tough but you win out of luck, it’s kind of like the lottery.

I think it’s time for a new Ipod Touch ’cause honestly, I don’t like the one I have now ’cause it’s an older edition, the 4th edition.

Finally saw “Ex Machina” last night and WOW! What a film!

1 Comment

So far I think this film, “Ex Machine” is the best film I’ve seen this year. It’s a science fiction movie about the Artificial Intelligence, you know robot & android kind of stuff. The film stars, Domhnall Gleeson and Oscar Isaac which both of those actors will have roles in the upcoming, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”.

I thought “Ex Machina” was very powerful, moving and intense. The writing was pretty intelligent I thought. Kept you guessing ’til the end and I thought the ending was kind of shocking. The visuals of this movie was pretty impressive and the music score, WOW. The musical score was beautiful. I thought Domhnall and Oscar both delivered excellent performances too. Plus, the actress who voiced Ava did a great job too.

I wanted to see this movie in theater but didn’t get around to it so I rented it through Netflix and now I want my own copy of this movie on Blu Ray soon.

This movie is not just a sci-fi movie, it’s also a sexy and romantic movie too. You’ve seen robot movies like “Blade Runner” and “Artificial Intelligence” but “Ex Machina” is kind of different. “Ex Machina” is a good guy vs. bad guy kind of movie, I kind of don’t wanna spoil things.

I thought “Ex Machina” was a masterpiece and it’s worth checking out. I hope this film gets some Oscar nominations. Will this film get a Best Picture nod? Not sure but I think the actress who played Ava deserves a nod for that role for sure. I’m glad I finally got around to seeing this film ’cause I’ve been wanting to see it for a pretty long time. I kind of figure it was gonna be real good and it is.

More on Apple Music…

Leave a comment

Well, as some of you know, I’ve been listening to Apple Music a lot lately. Apple does give you the full three month free trial as promised ’cause I just found out when my free trial ends. My free trial ends on Oct. 3 ’cause I looked it up in the subscriptions menu on my Ipad.

While Apple Music is great, my only gripe with the service is that when you stream albums online, it’ll eat up your gigabytes on your hard drive. When you stream an album, it’ll take away 1 gb. I’ve noticed it has eaten up a little bit on my PC and my Ipad. So if you subscribe to Apple Music and don’t want your gb’s to get all eaten up, I would recommend you listen to the album offline. Download the album from the Icloud and listen to the album. Just remember to “Remove album download” after you get done listening so you can get your gb back. It’s just like any other streaming service, though. I’m sure Spotify and Tidal does the same thing.

I do love Apple Music though… I’ve got to listen to every studio album by Joe Satriani, Joe Bonamassa, the Black Sabbath Ozzy era, Blur and Beth Hart. I’ve also been listening to Janet Jackson a lot… listened to 4 of her albums this week including her 1993 album, “Janet” and “Rhythm Nation 1814”. When I was in high school, I used to be a huge fan of Janet Jackson. Used to own her albums and used to listen to her all the time so I decided to give “Janet” and “Rhythm Nation” a listen again and I enjoy them still. Yeah, I dig both Michael and Janet… always had.

As I type this, I’m listening to Dream Theater’s “Falling Into Infinity”.

Apple Music is really good stuff… just make sure you have a big enough space if you wanna stream albums. Just listen to albums offline like I said. It’s better that way. My trial ends Oct. 3 so I have plenty of time to think about whether I wanna keep it or not and probably will.

Sharyl Attkisson facts checks on Trump’s “McCain is no war hero” comment, screw the Washington Post…

1 Comment

Did anybody actually listen to Trump’s speech when he made that statement about “McCain being no war hero”? I think Republicans and Liberals are taking it way out of context…

Sharyl Attkisson here clears it all up pretty good.

Read and learn…

https://sharylattkisson.com/fact-check-the-washington-post-on-donald-trump-and-john-mccain/

I believe it was the Washington Post that first reported the story and this was the article she was referring to:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2015/07/18/trump-slams-mccain-for-being-captured-in-vietnam/

You gotta watch out. The mainstream media will do anything for “click bait” and will do anything to destroy people for the elections. The Washington Post trying to make Trump look bad. That’s what the media does, they wait for Trump to say something and they will “cherry pick” and leave out things to make it look like that Trump said something “offensive” when he didn’t.

Fuck the Washington Post, seriously. Anybody who reads that liberal rag is a loser.

Media trying to do whatever it takes to destroy Trump but it’s not working. It’s only making him more popular and more powerful so they should keep it going. Just giving him more reasons to be elected.

Liberals have no right to defend John McCain when all they did was call Chris Kyle a traitor and a coward!!!

1 Comment

Oh wow… liberals defending a republican Senator who was once a POW war vet. Liberals have no right to defend McCain and his war hero status when all they did was attack Navy Seal Chris Kyle. Libs attacked Chris Kyle’s war hero status by calling him a traitor and a coward. Now they’re feeling sorry for McCain? More libtard hypocrisy, nothing new here people.

Like I said before, liberals bashed the hell out of McCain during the 2008 elections and now they’re being all “lovable” over him since Trump is calling him out.

When was the last time liberals respected war heroes and military men? They continue to show disrespect toward the 4 men who were killed at Benghazi.

So yeah, libtards have no right to feel sorry for McCain. Hypocrites they are. Libtards are hypocritical idiots like they usually are. Move along, folks!
