KinetiQ commented on Is It Too Late To Apologize For Chris Cornell's Solo Career?, at 12:54 AM on Jul 19 "You may remember Chris Cornell as the frontman and lead singer of Audioslave." Man, that's some good trolling there. @Ned Raggett: That's fantastic. more »

KinetiQ commented on Dragonforce Delivers A Visual Beatdown, at 7:11 PM on Jul 15 Considering how much popularity they're gaining from Guitar Hero and Audio Surf, I think a few colored tiles tossed in are understandable. more »

KinetiQ commented on Going Back With Primal Scream, at 7:05 PM on Jul 15 If there are any Audio Surf fans in the audience (and I imagine there are quite a few) try 'Swastika Eyes' off of XTRMNTR - it's absolutely insane. more »

KinetiQ commented on Your Opinions, We Care A Lot, at 10:29 PM on Jun 7 Japancakes' cover of My Bloody Valentine's "Loveless" album, done all instrumentally with steel guitars and cellos and so on. more »

KinetiQ commented on "The Love Guru" Soundtrack Loaded With Campy Tracks And Racist Bullshit, at 11:40 PM on Jun 4 4) Mike Myers - Stop Hitting Yourself (dialog) THAT'S SOME DEEP SHIT RITE THAR I think "racist" is probably the closest term we have for "exceedingly ethnocentric mockery of other cultures" which Austin Powers would fit into nicely. more »

KinetiQ commented on Santogold Shakes The "Rock Sellout" Hornet's Nest, at 11:56 PM on Jun 3 Good article, Maura; very thought provoking, which is odd since this topic pops up on Idolator at least quarterly. I think music's role in society has changed significantly in the last 15 years (just to put an arbitrary line in the sand). more »

KinetiQ commented on The Flobots Make Modern Rock Radio Safe For Rappin' Whitey Again, at 11:13 AM on May 1 I think Flobots is like if the guitarist from Cake had a lovechild with that douchebag from Sublime (he's dead lol) and the kid grew up in an orphanage in Denver and listened to a whole lot of Linkin Park but didn't like the screaming bits. Between the vague political positions of the album and undirected activism of their websites, it seems like it's perfect music for Alex Jones' "wake up sheeple"-shoutin college students. more »

KinetiQ commented on Coldplay Are Pretty Much What You Expect At This Point, at 4:49 PM on Apr 29 Let me guess - another album filled with the blandest of generic brit pop, identical to their other albums. Can't wait till it's tearing up the charts. more »

KinetiQ commented on You Know Who Really Sucks? The Doors, at 4:45 PM on Apr 29 ZOMG ELITISTS Don't forget that time Snoop used "Riders on the Storm." Actually, yeah, forget that. I think the Doors were okay, but I certainly don't understand why they get so much more Love than, well, Love. more »

KinetiQ commented on Roger Waters Somehow Finds A Way To Make Me Loathe Pink Floyd Even More, at 5:47 PM on Apr 28 @KinetiQ: Actually it just occurred to me that I'd probably listen to a loop of "It's Raining Men" equal to the length of Waters' set. more »

KinetiQ commented on Roger Waters Somehow Finds A Way To Make Me Loathe Pink Floyd Even More, at 5:36 PM on Apr 28 I voted for post-Syd era Floyd, but it's really a "lesser of two" situation for me. Had you said Erasure, or even closer just a mix of vintage discopop - I'd take that over Waters in a heartbeat. more »

KinetiQ commented on Blind-Item Bleh: How On Earth Did The Term "Booger Sugar" Get Past A Copyeditor?, at 12:09 PM on Apr 25 Spoiler alert: almost all of them. Not the most awkward slang for coke I've heard though; that award goes to "peruvian marching powder." more »

KinetiQ commented on "Please Don't Go" Gets Remade For The Jock Jams Generation (Again), at 6:34 PM on Apr 22 @NeverEnough: While it was Rockman Rock and King Boy D who sampled "All You Need is Love", they did so under the name "The Jamms." Not really much of a cover, though a lot of the JAMMs tracks were like that. IMO their finest polished turd was K Foundation presents the Red Army Choir: "K Cera Cera." more »
