Needs more metal in here.

Isn't that the one that's pretty much "lager lager lager lager lager" all the way through?

Yup. A lot of shouting lager lager lager lager. And every line other than them ending in boy.

The dutch word 'lager' means 'lower', this was a spot with somebody shouting that song part, and somebody else holding a painting or something like that, and then putting it lower and lower until it dropped.
Of course, the joke only worked with people who knew the song.

East Londoner wrote:My Bloody Valentine - To Here Knows When

Loveless is probably the most far-out album I've ever listened to. There's honestly nothing that sounds similar. NOTHING.

I highly doubt there'll ever be an album as mental as Loveless again, unfortunately.

I wouldn't say that nothing sounds like Loveless; you should try Slowdive's stuff. Loveless is certainly an all time classic though.

Dance music needs to go underground again .

GRRR.
Now i did manage to see a few things for free (because of my obvious musical connections), but not such an epic band. And actually getting paid for it?
Now anyway, i do know a guy who got paid to see a Justin Bieber concert (a security agent), and he was courageous enough to actually go to that concert, respect!

No longer will we get awesome hit songs like "Baby", the best song so far this decade. I know we are all waiting for a comeback which will surely be more awesome than anything that has happened since Friesacher's sixth place in Indianapolis. To finish this tribute to a true musical genius, I will present this awesome remix I found of his biggest hit:

Sarcasm of the finest order.

But here's something I really want to know about the world's least-favourite Sebastian Vettel lookalike. All those articles along the lines of "10/20/101/a million reasons why you should hate Justin Bieber" - how many of them are actually real? So the fact that he became rich and famous and popular with girls (in single figures) meant it was almost inevitable he would be disliked by those who hadn't had that success, but he's become so much of an internet punching bag that it makes me wonder how many of those "reasons we should hate him" have been completely fabricated to make it look like going for a pint with Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Breivik all at once would be the preferable option.

It can't all be true. Can it?
