And now this: http://blog.wired.com/business/2008/12/warner-pulls-mu.html
I can just imagine a bunch of executives trying to figure out how to squeeze more money from this “New Media” thing, and since it’s not the kind of guarantees they’re used to from the coked up 80s, they get all nostalgic, and are like “Fuck New Media! It ain’t gonna change us, so it’s up to use to change IT!”
Meanwhile everyone else seems to think Rock Band/Guitar Hero and YouTube is a pretty good way to get your stuff out there. It certainly results in more music sales as far as Rock Band/Guitar Hero goes.
Also, hilariously, it looks like most of the blathering masses are blaming YouTube for removing the videos. Nice try – seeing as other music labels seem to think millions of hits generates revenue in other streams and have no problems with the ad revenue YouTube sends their way (According to Universal, it’s “tens of millions“, and given Warner’s past actions, I’m putting the blame solely on Warner for gettin’ all dem SLIPKNOT VIDEOZ DELETTETD!

Why does everyone get on my ass for wearing socks with sandals? You have the convenience of sandals, tied with the warmth of socks. It is literally the best of both worlds.
Why do sandals suck? Your feet get cold.
Why do socks suck? They get dirty and you can’t walk around with them outside.
Plus at any point, you can jettison the sandals and slide across a polished wood floor!
For everyone waiting eagerly to hear about the results of the Peavey contest – the video and stuff is being worked on. You’ll hear in the next couple of days.

How many thousands of straws go WASTED every day because people have that weird psychological thing where if they see a straw that’s been dispensed and sitting there for an indeterminate amount of time, they’ll press the dispenser lever to get ANOTHER STRAW?
That straw that’s sitting there is probably just fine. Think before you dispense a straw needlessly.
Every little bit counts!

All my old posts are now on Wordpress. Half are missing images or formatted improperly, but those images are lost to TIME and I don’t have enough TIME to fix all the formatting.

One of my fans, who is 7 years old and CLEARLY MY #1 FAN OF ALL TIME, sent me this. It is the Greatest Work of Art of all time:
All of you wish you were this awesome when you were seven. I am having it framed.

Gamestop has this contest where you can win a gift certificate, but more importantly, you win the chance at being a character in the next Guitar Hero game, which is frankly hilarious. If I win this, I will lay down my plastic guitar forever, closing this ridiculous chapter of my life with digital immortality.
Here’s how you can help me out. In return, I’m giving away my full size Peavey Riffmaster AG Guitar Hero controller that I won at SxSW at the Dell Lounge. It’s worth $400. I stand to win a $400 gift certificate, so it’s one $400 item for another.
1. Vote my insane video a 5 here: CLICK HERE
2. Send me an email to contest@facerocker.com with your full name and YouTube account name
3. If you send me a ROCK HAIKU, a haiku regarding rock and roll, you get another entry into this contest.
In about a week, I’ll put everything into an spreadsheet and pick the winner at random.
Here’s the announcement video I made for it:
My friend Brian has started a website 5 Second Films, where each movie is 5 seconds long.
Watch me in one get punched in the face!
The T9 text messaging system is absolutely worthless. In fact, all those systems that try and guess what you’re typing to save you time are worthless because they don’t account for the fact that I am a salty dude.
Seriously, I have never and will never use “ducking” in a sentance, and unless I’m texting you from prison, I’m never going to “give a shiv.”
HD looks pretty rad! Now just let me link to it from the annotation and we’d be all set!
