EPIC

God, there are times where I forget just how much I FUCKING LOVE Lord of the Rings.

Then, I am reminded by things like this:

"Hold your ground! Hold your ground! Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers,I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails,when we forsake our friendsand break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields,when the age of men comes crashing down,but it is not this day! This day we fight!! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!!!"

THIS IS FRREALS THIS TIME

I'm going to try and post regularly on this again.

OK, so the Dead Weather. New Jack band. He's playing drums this time, quite well (I don't know why everyone is so surprised, he's playing drums in that song for the James Bond movie). Singer= hipster girl from the Kills, which makes me suspicious. QOTSA guitarist, awesome. Jack from Greenhornes. As my favorite Detroit nommer says (http://eatthiscity.com/?p=4707),I don't hate them yet. I really wanted to do that cool link thing where the text just then was a link to his blog, but I can't figure it out. Ever since I shut down my Myspace and Facebook, I'm no good with computers.

ANYway, I actually really like them, but more than anything it makes me miss the White Stripes. Sighh.

Disc is due out in June, in the meantime there's a cover of Gary Numan's "Are Friends Electric?" and the original "Hang You from the Heavens" which has a really nice riff going on. Allison's voice is better in the former, though. But why does she have to wear an Urban Outfitter's scarf, black glasses, and smoke a cigarette? Oh well, she's hot. Hot people can do whatever they want (Lindsay Lohan).
