Boycottage - Green Day

who: Green Day

why: because I would have rather watched Jennifer Lopez fail at reading. The only reason I'm posting this is because it was actually entertaining to watch UNTIL Green Day got on the stage. Rock album of the year? Shut the fuck up.

Oh and in case you didn't already hate this song... it's a complete ripoff. They titled their album 'American Idiot' after the dumbasses they got to waste their money on it.

Watch real musicians. With afros.

Boycottage - You Suck, You Dirty Pirates

who: Roger Manganelli (Less Than Jake and Rehasher)
why: was quoted on Punknews.org with the following statement concerning piracy:

"If you had to guess, how many Rehasher CDs were sold in the first month? The actual number is 60 CDs. Illegal downloading is killing bands, and a band like Rehasher feels it. I have found some download sites and added up over 3000 illegal downloads of the new record. With over $3600 invested in the making of the new record, the light at the end of the tunnel is very, very dim.

So, why don't we tour? Because, we would not be able to pay our bills. No one buys music, it's just accepted that you pay for your iPod or your computer, but the content, the music and movies,, Everyone just accepts that as "free" and there is no way to stop anyone from breaking those laws.

If you were one of the 60, thank you. i hope you enjoy the record. If you were one of the 3000, i still hope you enjoy the record, but, fuck. you suck."

I could potentially take some heat for this... but fuck YOU Rehasher, okay? You just made the worst move possible, by basically telling any of the 3000 people who have actually HEARD OF YOU that they suck. Do you think that's gonna make em buy your next record? No, so shut the hell up and remember that your music is nothing unless you're making it because you're doing what you love. I understand you need to get paid, and I do think something needs to be done about the music industry. Something needs to be done so that bands like yours are getting paid and Lady Gaga is left in the streets to shoot heroine or whatever drug it is she HAS to be on, but telling your fans they suck is plain uncalled for, dude. Who the hell do you think you are?

Where do you think you would be if something COULD be done about piracy? Do you honestly think more people would be paying to hear your shit? I mean seriously give it a rest... the bands that are successful are the ones who love what they do, don't bitch about how hard it is, and find their success through doing what they love and rocking the shit out of it. Not everyone gets to live out their dreams, do you see me making music? No. Because I don't have any talent... But I'm not gonna put out a shitty record and cry about how no one's buying it. If I bought every album I've ever wanted to listen to, I wouldn't be able to eat, clothe myself, or put a roof above my head... so I prioritize. And so is everyone else. You should feel lucky 60 people found the $10 to give you. If you're not making it, and you're gonna come out and tell your own fans that they suck, then go get a different job you dumbass.

A lot of bands today are getting the chance of a lifetime to live their dreams of playing music for crowds. I was just at a show a couple of weeks ago where after the show the bands were asking for donations so they could eat, but they put on a stellar fucking show and they appreciated that we were all there. We had to pay to drive there. We had to pay to buy the ticket for admission. We had to buy our own food. If they would have told us we sucked because we didn't buy their record, I would have punched them in the face, but I didn't have to - because they're musicians who love what they do. You should feel disgraced for your comments, Roger. It's pathetic.

Here's Rehasher's 2009 album 'High Speed Access to Brain'.
Check it out for yourself and see if it's worth it. If you don't like it, tell Roger you think HE sucks.

High Speed Access To Brain - R...

Boycottage - PETA

who: PETA
why: because you don't f*ck with my McDonalds. PETA's McCruelty campaign has struck again, this time targeting young children by introducing "Unhappy Meals". A good idea in theory, let the imagination of young minds absorb the undoubtedly horrid things that are done to animals to produce such delicious food, but c'mon - these pictures are creepy!

These kids aren't young enough to make decisions for themselves, PETA. So could you please refocus your attacks back onto the adults that do control what they eat? I remember when I was a kid, I was sometimes "rewarded" with what I thought was the best dinner ever. Now I know that my parents were just being cheap and trying to make me fat - but I'm not complaining. A Happy Meal was something to brag about at school the next day, not something to have nightmares about you crazy assholes.

This on the other hand, is pretty funny.

Jiminy Glick Interviews 'Ronald McDonald' - watch more funny videos

Boycottage - Twilight: New Moon (cont.)

who: Death Cab for Cutie

why: debuted their new video for Twilight: New Moon's "Meet Me on the Equinox" last night on MTV... and I like the song as long as I'm not watching the video... weird.

Boycottage - Fall Out Boy

who: Fall Out Boy

why: they're releasing a Greatest Hits CD?! Are you kidding me!? This just seems ridiculous. I first heard of Fall Out Boy when I was in 7th grade, it's been 10 years since then and they're releasing a Greatest Hits CD? I'm not gonna knock on Fall Out Boy, people like to hate them and say they sold out (because Infinity On High was one of the worst things I've ever heard, I agree) but they deserve the credit they've got and they've worked extremely hard for it but seriously. This is taking it to a whole new level. They've been non stop producing and playing tours, so I understand if they finally need to take a fucking break and settle down for awhile, but they're money whores. It's shameless and depressing.

On a side note, I commend drummer Andy Hurley for continuing his passion for music as he is working on putting out a new record with hardcore band Burning Empires. Check em out.

Here's the track list for the album which is set to drop in November:

1. Dead on Arrival

2. Grand Theft Autumn

3. Saturday

4. Sugar, We're Goin' Down

5. Dance, Dance

6. A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More Touch Me

7. This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race

8. Thnx Fr Th Mmrs

9. The Takeover, The Break's Over

10. I'm Like a Lawyer the Way I'm Always Trying to Get You Off

11. Beat It

12. I Don't Care

13. America's Suitehearts

14. What a Catch, Donnie

15. New Song

16. New Song

Boycottage - Twilight: New Moon

who: Twilight.

why: okay, okay, okay. Let me be the first to say that I have not seen the first movie in it's entirety... but I reeeeally don't think I need to. And even if I did, I wouldn't watch it with an open mind, and I'd still end up hating it. So I just don't like it. What bothers me most is that it's becoming a cult phenomenon and shows like TrueBlood as well as other authors are basically starting to get rich off the work someone else has already done (I don't know who he/she is... I don't care). I do know that Kristen Stewart sucks and that English dude is a tool. I also know that the bands who've opted to appear on the soundtrack are taking a risky position. Because while a lot of people like Twilight, a lot of people hate it, too.

bold = why?

italic underline = expected.

Soundtrack:

1) Death Cab for Cutie - "Meet Me On the Equinox"

2) Band of Skulls - "Friends"

13) Grizzly Bear - "Slow Life"

14) Editors - "No Sound but the Wind"

15) Alexandre Desplat - "New Moon (The Meadow)"

Hahaha.

Boycottage - Rise Against

who: Rise Against announced they will soon begin work on a new album after their Australian tour ends in Febraury of next year.

why: I will admit that I actually liked one of their CDs... but after that every song started sounding the same. Now I don't even remember what that album was called or one memorable song title from it because their rise to "fame" turned them into pertentious douches.

Look at this album cover.

If you didn't laugh uncomfortably from how stupid this is... you're probably kind of a douche too.
