Weezer

    Original URL: xthekingisdeadx.wordpress.com/2010/09/0… just got the new Weezer record Hurley and for me it’s their best record next to the Green album. They also did a cover of Coldplay’s Viva La Vida.

    Rhod Gilbert

    Original URL: xthekingisdeadx.wordpress.com/2010/08/2… He could very well be the funniest stand-up comedian.

    Straight Edge Comic

    Original URL: xthekingisdeadx.wordpress.com/2010/08/0… I stumbled upon this on the web. The comic’s called One Path, they said it’s the first ever straight edge comic by Shane Durgee (No idea who) of Framework, Gatekeeper. I cannot confirm but I had fun reading.

    Trapped Under Ice

    Original URL: xthekingisdeadx.wordpress.com/2010/08/0… If one would say that this is a typical American Hardcore, then that fellow is right. Nonetheless, a very interesting record and Trapped Under Ice will be a household name in the hardcore scene. Visit www.myspace.com/underdaic…

    The Ghost Writer

    Original URL: xthekingisdeadx.wordpress.com/2010/08/0… I’ve watched this film two days ago, I laughed at the dark humor in it and at the same time thrilled. It was fucking worth it.

    Straight Edge and Proud

    Original URL: xthekingisdeadx.wordpress.com/2010/08/0… I’ve been straight edge since May 1, 2006. How bout you do the math for a change. But to the common person who does not know what this means, straight edge is a lifetime personal choice based on a principle of strict discipline. Abstinence of all alcoholic substance, weed or cigarettes and casual sex. Straight edge is a punk lifestyle, according to my own understanding that there’s no way you’ll be straight edge without being involved and supporting the hardcore punk scene.

    Perspectives on Drug Free Culture

    Original URL: xthekingisdeadx.wordpress.com/2010/08/0… Outside looking in, the filmmakers shed light about what really is Straight Edge. Admittedly, I didn’t really enjoyed the whole documentary, it was kinda boring but the interviews are amazing.Visit www.theedgeprojectmovie.com

    Off With Their Heads

    Original URL: xthekingisdeadx.wordpress.com/2010/08/0… A good ol’ punk rock album is hard to come by nowadays. As far as i can remember the last time I enjoyed punk rock was listening to Bombshell Rock’s From Here and On. Then, the band from Minnesota Off With Their Heads released In Desolation and this could be the best punk rock album this year. Combine the artistry of Hot Water Music and the melody of Face to Face.

    I’m Here by Spike Jonze

    I was introduced to Spike Jonze by the movie “Where the Wild Things Are” and nothing else. Researched a bit and found out he’s some ex-boyfriend of Karen O of Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Anyway, this film can catch anyone’s attention, why do I say so? Look at the film poster and you’ll know what I’m talking about. Yes! Those are robots. I forgot, this is a fucking short film so it won’t take much of your time.

    Alpha and Omega

    Original URL: xthekingisdeadx.wordpress.com/2010/08/0… At the back of my mind I always hold true the phrase “Keep Metal out of Hardcore”, like any classic youth crew kid would do, but this fucking record is an exception. From the first track, Fueled by Sin, one band came into my mind and that is Merauder. As the record goes on, I could hear some Pantera rip-offs in which Fight Like Hell has also done.
