I’m sorry for the un-MCR related news, but this needed to be said.
Last afternoon we lost one of musics greatest talents and lyricists ever. Michael Jackson. Michael died at 12:26 PM California time at his rented house in L.A. He was with his personal trainer and his father, who never liked Michael much and abused him as a child. Michael was first discovered with the Jackson 5 at the Apollo Theater in New York, where the Jackson 5 won a talent competition and exploded onto the big scene. After a few years peforming with his siblings, Michael split off for a solo career and released Off The Wall; which is considered the best disco album of all time. His next ablum was Thriller, the #2 best selling ablum of all time behind the Eagles Greatest Hits.
Michael is said to have died of cardiac arrest, which is different from a heart attack. Michael’s autopsy is schedualed for today.
I think we should all pay a moment of respect for Michael, who was clearly a musical genius of the past 40 years.
Sorry, I’m not bothering with spell check. And if there’s any mistakes about his life in here feel free to correct me. I’m a little shaken up.
You know, it’s always a terrible thing when someone’s lost their dog. It’s just heartbreaking. It’s even worse when that dog is your best friend, one of the most important things in your life.
Bob Bryar is in the process of suing trainer Daniel Schaffer after his beloved Dixie died in his care. Schaffer’s first story was that a drunk driver was involved. Obviously, Bob demanded the police report which Schaffer couldn’t produce, so the trainer changed his story. All Bob got was Dixie’s cremated remains. He said, “The devastation I feel is beyond words.”
Bob was sent a referral and paid $7,500 in April in hopes that Dixie, rescued from a life of abuse, could get some much needed help to adjust to a new dog. After about a week, after having told Bob that Dixie was “having a blast”, he had to break the news that Dixie had been killed by a drunk driver while Schaffer was transporting her and other dogs. According to the lawsuit, “Schaffer called (Bryar) again and informed him that he could not say goodbye to Dixie for she had been ‘cremated due to her condition.” By the way, if that’s not illegal, it should be. Within days, Schaffer handed over Dixie’s remains to Bob. It should also be noted that Schaffer failed to produce a police report documenting anything had happened. Since that was obviously a lie, he tried again and said she died in her sleep, and then changed that to “other circumstances”.
It sounds like, to me, he screwed up and is trying to cover his tracks. He just picked the wrong drummer to mess with. Bob, you need to wipe the floor with this guy’s face. He can’t get away with this.
Thanks to Vee for the news. Pictures of Dixie are from Bob’s TwitPic which is still active despite the fact he seems to have deleted his Twitter.
Yup. New layout. Let me know if something’s not working or looks off. I’m pretty proud of the way this turned out seeing as how I was in a creative slump until this.
Frank lost his title to sexiest vegetarian. He came in as a runner-up, though. We’ll get it next year
I added Safe and Sound to the music videos download page, and moved the gallery link under Multimedia as well. If all goes well, I’ll also be getting Desolation Row up.
Okay, time for presents. Hope you all enjoy
Also, I have snagged an MP3 off my decrepit old Windows PC (Apple Macs ftw ) so I have no idea who originally recorded this, but it’s Bob and Gerard on K-Rock’s Hostile Take Over. Wild guess but I think this was 2006 so please correct me if I’m wrong. Bob and Gerard on K-Rock Hostile Take Over.
I’m not done with you yet. Anyone pay attention to that little intro track on Bullets? The one with the little acoustic guitar? Yeah. Pretty? How about seeing it live? Apparently it’s an actual song, and the guys have only played it live a few times. I have video Many, many thanks to “rhvdohsetcd” for this one. Download: Right click, save as
I’ve got quite a few more things to add to the media section that were supposed to go into my side project, but it just doesn’t seem like it’s going to happen. So….I don’t see a reason that I have to sit on all this stuff. I’ll keep you guys posted as I add new things
Just some super quick things from my inbox. I’m getting so much spam it’s hard to tell which ones are legit and which ones aren’t, so if you haven’t heard back, your email is probably sitting in my spam folder. Sorry if these have already been posted but I’m still sorting out my flooded inbox .
