Depth Charge - Stand Out Riot

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! I present to you, the eighth wonder of the world! A terrifying fantasy, from the most twisted of imaginations! I give you the Carnival Militia!

Have we really dropped that low, that we spend our Friday evenings watching Z-listers making fools of themselves? And what about this kinda time, a racial slur or tart opinion, will make a mega-star and gain a fond fairwell.

When did we become a nation of idiots, thinking yogurt has magical properties? I think it’s about time we found some self respect.

Depth charge, the moron revolution. Before I explode, the media confusion. This attitude has got to go.

Have we really dropped that low, that we spend our lunch break reading about who’s dieting, and who’s gotten fat. And 60 useless things, for 60 hard-earned pence, and this is what you’ve got to say in your defence: “And now I’ve got my face, on the cover of some fancy magazine, the tears and tales of death-threats are all part of the routine.”

When did we become a nation of idiots, thinking yogurt has magical properties? I think it’s about time we found some self respect.

Nutrisse doesn’t mean nourish, and grease ain’t the word I’m looking for, a consonant Carol, this one’s a ’D’ for…

Depth charge, the moron revolution. Before I explode, the media confusion. This attitude has got to go.

We’ve reached a stage where fashion dictates, and overweight makes profit from their mistakes, my conscience is a ticking time bomb. We need a world where passion negates; a statement of our tolerance, where greed depreciates.

Don’t believe what you’re told!

Really, really, really liked Stand Out Riot’s album, Carnival Militia. It’s fun to listen to, it’s smart, it’s aggressive, it’s well worth the $7 I paid for it. Let me know if you’d like the whole thing.

I feel like my post about Iron Man 2 yesterday was inadequate, so here’s a bit more information. The plot is pretty simple: there is a bad guy, he does what Tony Stark does (science, building things, hitting people, tricking people) pretty well. The action is cool but never over the top. The dialogue is great, especially everything Robert Downey Jr. says. There’s a sexy spy, and of course she takes off her clothes. Tony Stark has a briefcase that unfolds into the Iron Man suit. He also insists that “he is Iron Man” repeatedly, but curiously, the song Iron Man never plays. I don’t have complete knowledge of Black Sabbath’s discography, but I don’t think there’s any of theirs songs in it at all.

If you watched Transformers 2 hoping for a cool movie where robots fight eachother, then you’ll want to watch Iron Man 2. The bad guy uses electric whips, he builds drones to fight Iron Man, and they’re pretty sweet. I don’t regret spending money to see it, and I doubt anyone would unless they just don’t like action movies.
