This aired last night on Spike T.V. A pretty rockin’ song. It will be on the new Guitar Hero game and BC is also going to have an avatar of him in the game.
Were you at the Offramp in Seattle Washington on October 18th 1990? If so you were among the couple hundred to see Pearl Jam’s first ever performance. My obssesion with Pearl Jam did not quite start that early. At that time I was unaware of them but that would soon all change. Before I found Pearl Jam i was listening to the likes of Bruce Springsteen, AC/DC, Guns N Roses, Poison, Motley Crue and many other bands that were more my fathers music then mine. I blame Pearl Jam for my awakening and obsession to acquire music. You see I’m kind of like Syler on Heroes I have a hunger for music and I have to see it and hear it. This all started when I heard Pearl Jam and so easily connected with the lyrics and rock hooks they produced. Something just seemed to click and I said these guys get it!
So 18 years ago today is when it all started. They played their first show as Mookie Blaylock. Here is there Setlist from that night:
Release
Alone
Alive
Once
Even Flow
Black
Breath
Encore Break
Just A Girl
Just A Girl is a B Side from the ten era that has never seen the light of day. It was only played once live at their very first show. It is a pretty jamming song. Check out this Youtube performance that was filmed on that fabled night 18 years ago:
I’ll give you one more clip in case that obscure one was left you salivating for a song you can all headbang along to. This is a blistering version of Porch from the 1992 Pink Pop festival. About two minutes in you can watch Eddie climb out on a ladder and leap about 15 feat into the crowd. Pretty interesting to see the difference in the size of crowds they were playing to in just two years.
Brings back some good memories of my youth. I hope you all enjoy them as well.
This may be kind of old, but it is still very funny.
Rating: 4.3/5.0
The brilliance of this movie is Danny McBride’s portrayal of an inept Tae Kwon Do instructor, Fred Simmons. As an instructor he is on top of the world and clings onto his 1994 championship trophy. He is over weight, drives a ridiculously expensive sports car and bosses kids around like he is the king. The movie is at its best when Fred Simmons starts losing control of his self proclaimed perfect existence due to marital problems. He starts taking it out on his students and the comedy ensues. This is probably the best “comedy” I have seen in a while. I can see why some would compare it to Napoleon Dynamite since it is very much a character driven movie. For those of you who enjoy old women being kicked in the face and arrogant fat Tae Kwon Do instructors, you should go out and rent The Foot Fist Way tonight!
The preview:
So it was a tough weekend for the Gamecocks but what do you expect when you have to not only play a very physical LSU Tiger team hungry for a win AND you also have the refs out on the field sizing your QB up!
LSU defense looks very tough especially when they employ the 12th man on the field in the zebra suit!
Truthfully this play did not cost us the game but i don’t think i’ve ever seen anything quite like this before! Crazy stuff

We all love Mindbomb’s perception of Joe the Plumber, but has anyone noticed the beating this poor guy has been taking from the media? Here’s a simple guy asking a genuine question to a presidential candidate, which gets brought up in a presidential debate, and now he’s getting raked over the coals.
It’s amazing. They’ve trashed this guy for owing back taxes. By the way, anyone know how many people owe back taxes? You’d be suprised! Plus they’ve also trashed him by saying he isn’t even a licesned plumber!
But wait…according to Ohio, only 1 plumber per shop needs to be a master plumber. In fact, only 1 plumber per shop is typically a master plumber based on the costs associated with obtaining this distinction, the experience required, and it really doesn’t make much sense to have more than 1.
I think this is a perfect example of why mainstream media will no longer be credible in a few years based on their coverage of the current election. Gone are any indications of partisanship, as most of the “mainstream” media has appointed Obama the next president, and is making sure that they’re great story of Obama follows through to the White House.
I realize that it’s tough reporting on issues in an unbiased manner, but it seems like they aren’t even trying anymore. It’s gotten so bad, that most “news” shows and stations should be forced to remove the word “news” from any association of their product and replace it with “commentary” and/or “opinion.” This should go for everyone: NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX, CNN, MSNBC, FOX News, and the countless others.
At least talk radio lets you know that their message is the opinion and beliefs of the radio host, and doesn’t try to spin their message under the guise of NEWS – unlike the aforementioned networks.
The funniest example I keep remembering was an interview on the Today show when Matt Lauer was interviewing a correspondent on the college vote in Virgina. When asked how the college voting was shaping out via polls, he said that it was pretty split between McCain and Obama, but he was most familiar with UVA’s student vote which was leaning heavily toward Obama. Then he said that UVA typically has the “smartest” students in the state, so their choice was pretty obvious. Seriously? We’ve come to the point where mainstream media is calling people who vote for Obama “smart” and those who don’t aren’t “smart”?
And we can get into the discussion of FOX News being a right-leaning news channel. And I’d submit to you that if you compared the FOX News coverage with the MSNBC news coverage, you’d easily see that MSNBC is WAY more left than FOX is right, but who cares. They both suck. That’s why they’re both on the list.
Poor Joe. All he wants to do is possibly buy into and own the company he currently works for. Obviously he can’t do it now, but that’s what his question was regarding. Why should he try to buy in and grow it when Obama’s plan is going to tax the crap out of him? At least, that’s what he asked. And Obama answered. And now the media want’s to make poor Joe a fraud because of his dreams.
Can’t a guy have dreams? Are dreams OK, but only if they fit into the Media’s story lines? All I’ve wanted to do since high school was open up an advertising agency in my basement…will my dreams be accepted? Or will you dig through my past and rake me over the coals about every little detail or skeleton in my closet?
Fuck you, media!
My city is definitely not. As a matter of fact, unless you live in a fortified structure away from major population centers you may be in trouble! A recently published article titled, Study Reveals Pittsburgh Unprepared For Full-Scale Zombie Attack, states,
“A zombie-preparedness study, commissioned by Pittsburgh Mayor Tom Murphy and released Monday, indicates that the city could easily succumb to a devastating zombie attack. Insufficient emergency-management-personnel training and poorly conceived undead-defense measures have left the city at great risk for all-out destruction at the hands of the living dead, according to the Zombie Preparedness Institute.”
Does this not greatly concern our world leaders? When is the time to start making the appropriate preperations? The time is now my friends!
Another excerpt from the article states, “Children need to be taught from preschool that they might have to put a bullet between the eyes of their own undead mother,” Fulci said. “‘Destroy The Brain’ banners should be hung above the entrances of schools, churches, and town halls everywhere.”
We spend many hours worrying about the economy as a society and the real concerns are completely ignored! What can you do to better prepare your community for an uprising? The article suggests,
“Cornelius recommends that Pittsburgh residents prepare a “go-bag” containing a Glock 17 pistol and 50 rounds of ammunition. If leaving the house is not an option, Cornelius advises residents to barricade all first-story doors and windows, and have at least one method of suicide prepared, should zombies successfully breach the home.”
