Stuck at the End of the Internet? WRONG, FOOL. The Official Seal Generator is a fun way to waste valueable time summarizing your being / site / mojo.

With no further ado (maybe a wordpress theme change is in order):

rds com seal

That tagger was the best I could come up with, after snickering to myself while cycling through a number of motorhead motifs that I also felt summed up the spirit of the site, such as:

1. “Caveat Emptor”
1. “Eat the Rich”
1. “Don’t Forget the Bastard”
1. “Take One Look and Die”
1. “Going For the High One”

… and… well…

Future Rock Hall throws down nomination predictions for 2007 induction

Filed under: Meta, Music — rshangle @ 9:45 pm

Here.

I’m thinking Patti Smith, MC5, J. Mellencamp[1]… Joy Division.

Tom Waits is on the cusp, but needs to be [more] gnarled and wizened[er] first.

Grandmaster Flash will (soon; has been nominated last two years) open the floodgates for rap acts. How will go once Flash is inducted?

1. Grandmaster Flash
1. Dr. Octagon

What, Dr. O isn’t up for nomination until like… 2020? Bummer.

[1] (not that I’m a big fan, but he has integrity and he’s a rebel or smokes three packs of cigs (post heart attack) a day)

[supernova] Will Farrell signed to play Rockstar: Toby in biopic

Ok, not really. But that would be awesome. Maybe I’m drawing a connection between Toby’s performance of “Plush” that was straight outta Sigma Chi, and WF’s performace in Old School.

In other news, this week we learned Dilana is a raging, trash-talking bley-otch. BFD? That was coming. Maybe we can chalk it up to PMS, MS, P-MS, P+MS, or the fact that “[she doesn't] know how to lie” combined with the fact that yes, Ryan “Dark Horse” Star is no “Sweet” Suzy McNeil, and that “Ryan ‘Dark Horse’ Star” is not really that great a nickname when compared to “‘Sweet’ Suzy McNeil”, “Old Hickory”, or “Old Scratch and Sniff”.

As Patrice was packing it in tonight, KLA indicated that she sensed Patrice had a thing going on with Lukas. I for one, much like Qui-Gon Ginn, did not sense anything.

Bruno Kirby packs it in at 57

A damned shame to see a great go so young. He did it his way.

Also a shame that the obit fails to mention BK’s bit in This is Spinal Tap, undoubtedly his greatest role.
