RE: Sorry, Dudes

Actually, this is going to be hard.

Total Slackers are the worst band I have seen, for dollars or for free, in years and years--in a way that they combine terrible tuneless songs with underage trashcore pretension to make a magnified centerpoint of awful..

So, umm.....

"Sorry, Dudes!"

Sorry, Dudes: It Is Semi-intentional That You Can't Actually See These Dudes

These bros are called Total Slackers, and they are the proud
inaugurators of a new post theme on Slang to replace what used to be
lengthy and belabored blogscreeds of Beaumont hate.

Here they are playing a song called "Secret VHS Tape Collection". It
is, I think, their best song.

"Sorry, Dudes."

An Inconsequential Weigh-in: On Ninjasonik

JeffreyBeaumont: have you ever listened to ninjasonik before?
CabbieM: i havent
CabbieM: they good?
JeffreyBeaumont: they are not the kind of music i want to listen to
CabbieM: haha
CabbieM: what kind of music is it?
JeffreyBeaumont: it's kind of rhythmic beaty punk music with some shitty quasi-rapping on top
CabbieM: oh man
CabbieM: FUCK THAT
CabbieM: i HATE that. huge pet peeve of mine
JeffreyBeaumont: they sound, to me, like music who would appeal to fans of sublime and the bloodhound gang

New Black Lips Album: FAIL



In brief: One Million Thousand is just really not very good.

I had really high--though realistic--hopes for this record, but, wow, NOPE. I couldn't even bear to listen to through the entire album on this first listen--i made it to track eight and then switched to something else.

Opener "Take My Heart" was an underwhelming but acceptable garage "Hi there", but I figured they were just getting warmed up. Then, track 2, "Drugs", well, erm sounds like a weirdly boring(/shitty) Clash song. Track 3, "Starting Over" is the pre-release leak track and I do think it's really good, and positioned at third you might not think things are going so badly (despite the fact that these first three songs also sound illogical lined up against one another).... but then it just goes downhill into the deep and expansive depths of ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. "Short Fuse" sounds like Fleetwood Mac (really??), I'll Be With You" sounds like a shitty, unstudied little brother of "Dirty Hands". By the time i got to "Big Black Baby Jesus Of Today" I was just done.

So this is kinda a "wow" to me. It took me a while to get into Black Lips, as I found their earlier stuff to be kind of boring and tuneless and it wasn't until 2007's Good Bad Not Evil that I finally went, "Oh! I see". For the rest of summer and fall 2007, they were my jam, and I even worked backwards into the "live" album and Let It Bloom. But this, well, this new record is more or less a summation of exactly what I didn&'t like about the band in the first place... a weird garage-y snoozefest.

I will try listening to the album a few more times and promise that I hope I'll eventually hear things differently, but I consider it to be a pretty harsh indictment that I don't even want to make it all the way through a new album by a band I (thought I) love.

Need to listen more but my first.5 impression is kind of "it's okay." Not great, not bad. I do definitely like "Starting Over" a lot and remember liking "Short Fuse." Are you saying Fleetwood Mac is a bad thing?? Check yr Last.fm boyo :--)

...Or Maybe It's The Age Of Universal Stab-Myself-In-The-Eye


I have probably had worse luck with automobiles than just about anybody alive. Today, I discovered that my mom's car--which I was watching while she visited friends in Florida for the week--has been stolen. Awesome, and depressingly hilarious given that I don't even have a car of my own any more (returned home after too many parking tickets and break-in debacles).

A HISTORY OF CAR OWNERSHIP
BY JEFFREY BEAUMONT

From the ages of 16-21, I owned FIVE cars: 

1) '91 Toyota Corolla wagon, light blue
Owned: August 1998-October 2000
From: old car from parents
Issue 1: girl at party backed into my car and then drove away
Issue 2: Car died, October 2000
Reason for loss: Ran the engine dry--my own stupidity

2) '89 Plymouth Sundance, maroon
Owned: November 2000-April 2001
From: grandparents to replace Corolla
Issue 1: only ran on three of four cylinders and had a giant leak in oil tank
Issue 2: Car died, April 2001
Reason for loss: Old age. No fault.

3) '90 Plymouth Sundance V6, white
Owned: May 2001-February 2002
From: Purchased from local car garage for $1700
Issue 1: Unnecessary V6 guzzled hilarious amounts of gas for a tiny car
Reason for loss: found better car to replace; sold for $1500

4) '89 Honda Accord, navy blue
Owned: February 2002-February 2004
From: Purchased from local car garage for $2000
Issue 1: I loved this fucking car, and basically got it for an extra $500
Issue 2: Was 13 years old and 173,000 miles upon purchase and had already had engine replaced
Issue 3: Overheated constantly
Reason for loss: Old age. No fault.

5) 2001 Saturn, beige
Owned: May 2004-December 2004
From: Given to me as college graduation present
Issue 1: I also loved this fucking car, and drove it on five-week cross-country road trip. Driven approximately 17,000 miles throughout ownership
Issue 2: Did not need a car after moving to NYC in October 2004
Issue 3: Dad did not want to continue paying insurance and I didn't want to pay either
Reason for loss: Not needed in New York, or to sit in a garage upstate, so sold (for more than originally purchased).


Seriously--that's fucking ridiculous, right??

I guess I am pretty much done with cars.

Autumntime for Hitler in Fake America

I'm all about freedom of the press n' shit and Americans having a good time, but Halloween is where you sometimes have to say, Do we draw the line here? Or at least, if you're not a hateful dick, is there anything fun about doing this?






And yes, I did literally run off the train after he saw me attempting to discreetly snap this on my iphone.
