The Summer Obsession

Is Punk Rock cool again? I got an email asking me punt a band that sounds similar to Blink and Sum41. I never enjoyed those bands.

The Summer Obsession have just produced their 12 millionth release, just in time for our winter.

If you like, download the album from MediaFire.
They also have a VERY useless website (everything is coming soon...).

Violence, Anger, Wrath!

So, I went to town last night with the thought of going to Mercury for the Taxi Violence acoustic show where they were filming a DVD. I arrived at about 21h30 and met up with Dave, Steve and John at Shak. We had a drink before going across to the show (one door down). At 22h05 we arrived at Mercury. The bouncer would not let us in. I told him I was on the list, but he said it didn't matter. Apparently, because they had been playing for 5 minutes the doors were closed. RI(effing)DICULOUS!! I was livered. So livered.

Have you ever been turned away from a gig because you are late for the show (even if you are on the guestlist)? What do the band think about the guys at the front turning away patrons?

Who do I blame? The band? The organisers? The bouncers?

But we went dancing later in the evening and it was fun. Rad.

Katy Perry's Controversies

So how cool is the dress Katy Perry wore to the EMAs! She introduced the Killers song, Human at the awards. Click here to see it in motion. Anyway in response to her song, I Kissed a Girl, a church posted the following sign outside their building. I don't know what they were trying to accomplish, but they were met with a lot of hostility and confusion.
News crews and gay groups had a field day with this. Check the video.

Sometimes church folk make me mad.

8-bit city

Who is Cevron? Who is the macho boygirl behind 8-bit city? Where does he/she get off telling me how I should present my blog? If you don't like it, stop reading it. "whateverthefuck you're trying to say"? Really Cevron aka Anonymous? Really? I don't have to write about any one thing, thats the beauty of one's own blog. It is personal, deal with it. It's an outlet. If you read the blurb next to my posts, you will see that.

Anyway, I am wasting my time talking to someone who hides behind a name. If you are wondering why I am venting, some blogger wrote something that annoyed me (strangely). It generally takes a lot more than a silly post to get my back up. Check it.

Another reason for the url change is that my name (Richard Cole King) is a lot easier to remember than Smack Talk My Bum. So, it makes sense for the people I meet.

There might be cash prizes for anyone who delivers me info about who cevron is. Truth.

Oh, and happy Halloween if you're into that type of thing.
