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.

who: Hayden Panettiere | Rachel Bilson | Blake | Olivia Munn | Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian - Halloween

Attention! - The Venetia Fair

who: The Venetia Fair
why: because I think you'll like em. My first impression was the Hush Sound on drugs. While the production of their debut album, 'The Circus', is well short of perfect, this Boston quintet has crafted a chaotically catchy sound that's pretty hard to explain. But take it from me, they're good and I expect to see more from them in the future.

Rating: aight.
FFO: Foxy Shazam!, The Hush Sound, Panic! at the Disco

The Circus - The Venetia Fair

lmao - Weezer Snuggie

New Release Tuesday - November 3, 2009

who: Say Anything | We Came As Romans | Weezer
why: because it's a pretty good week for new releases.

Say Anything's self-titled has finally dropped after a few annoying delays, and I actually like it a lot. Bemis has taken his lyricism to a new level and a new place on this record and the songs are blended together in a well-crafted manner unlike in their last release 'In Defense of the Genre'.

Say Anything - Say Anything

We Came As Romans' debut release 'To Plant a Seed' is the latest and greatest from Equal Vision and it doesn't disappoint. If you liked Rise Records' The Color Morale in their debut 'We All Have Demons', you should be happy to find a resemblance in this release.

To Plant A Seed - We Came As R...

And then there's Weezer... who honestly doesn't really always have my attention unless I'm pounding out a Rock Band performance, but 'Raditude' is good. It's a guilty pleasure CD, because it's nothing fancy... but no one can right hooks like these motherfuckers. If you didn't see my previous Weezer post, they have a really different, hip-hop styled song with Lil Wayne that's probably my favorite track off the album, but a solid disc in general for sure.

Raditude - Weezer

Notables: The Almost | Foo Fighters

Premature Infatuation - Angels and Airwaves

who: Angels and Airwaves
why: are in the process of recording an entire film score for the soon to be released movie titled 'Love'. The movie is set to be released in the Spring of next year, and the trailer has just officially been released (below). I'm not positive on many of the specific details, but a brief synopsis entails an astronaut named Lee Miller who becomes stranded on the International Space Station and struggles to maintain his sanity and life. I'm mostly looking forward to seeing whether or not director William Eubank made a good decision in giving Angels and Airwaves the creative ability to craft the soundtrack.
