I've always been a supporter of the second amendment, yet I've never felt the need to own a firearm myself. I just don't think I'm important enough to want to kill, and statistically I have a better chance of getting attacked by a rabbid dog. But obviously, some people think they are going to need a sub-machine gun when they go out to check their mail. Why do these people feel their lives are in danger on a daily basis? Because of companies like this that employ people like this and make products like this.

So that's what English sounds like
A song written by an Italian composer to sound like English. It's actually kind of frustrating to listen to because the brain wants to make sense of the "English sounding" words, but it can't quite do it.

The way I see it, there are only a few steps one needs to know in order to master the banjo. I have achieved almost all of them. I know exactly how to hold the banjo. I know how to talk about my banjo. I really like bluegrass music. I move my fingers really fast. Now all I have to do is actually learn how to play the banjo. I'm almost there, and if this video is any indication as to how easy it really is then I'll be jamming in no time. Thanks Frank!

Antony and the Johnsons - Music Review
If you mixed Boy George, Elton John, the emotional crescendos of the worst Lifetime movies ever, a splash of orchestra, extreme vibrato and a whole lot of androgyny, you might come close to mimicking the tearful yet high-voltage sound of Antony and the Johnsons. While abrasive at first, Antony finds a way to pound into your frontal lobe and leave you laughing at the ridiculousness of his lyrics while humming the addictive chorus over and over.
His appearance is odd and alien to his own culture, but not unnerving. And when he sings, the spectator soon forgets Antony is wearing a shimmering, space nightgown, and falls into the trance of the peaks and valleys of his quivering vocals.
Maybe it's the carnal effect powerful orchestral sounds have on the emotions, or maybe its the feeling Antony puts into his performance, but I like to think it's his lack of shame, even pride, for who he is and what he represents. And rightly so, for what he does is truly amazing.

Its funny 'cause it's true.
By the way, for those who don't know it already, I am a certified nutritionist. No, really.
