Chick drummers are hot

For some reason everyone (okay, not everyone...just ignorant rock fans) thinks electro music isn't "real" music. Just because it's electro does NOT mean it's just some twerp playing around on a Casio.

To illustrate my point, I have Exhibit A and Exhibit B. The first is a video for one of my current favorite tracks, "Trash" by The Whip. I am obsessed with its catchy beat. I looked up the video and realized the drummer was a female, and I became an even bigger fan of The Whip. I don't know what it is about female drummers, but they're hot! Maybe that's why I insist on playing drums on Rock Band as much as possible. I refuse to play anything else.

Anyhow, Exhibit B is also The Whip. Here they perform "Trash" live in Manchester. I also wanted to express that these electro rockers can actually perform live, and well.

Weak blog post today, I know. But I'm busy at work people! So step off!

I wanna be trash


As I explained yesterday, while visiting San Francisco, I meandered into an awesome record shop on Haight St. I gave you a little sampling of one of the albums I jammed to in the listening station. Well, here's another. I actually purchased this one, but of course I forgot it in California. I don't know what's wrong with me...I forget and/or lose everything.

This song is everything I need on a Friday. It's hard. It's aggressive. It's upbeat. If you aren't quite ready for the weekend yet, listen to this track! It'll put you in just the right mood to get silly tonight. Oh, I'm sorry, were you thinking about staying in this evening? Yea... throw THAT ridiculous idea out the window!

"I wanna be traaaaaash..."

Sure it might be repetitive, but man is it catchy. Just give it 45 seconds, you'll be pumping your fist in no time... popping bottles, popping pills, throwing objects in the air, dancing in front of the mirror, running in place, screaming at the top of your lungs, doing push-ups, etc.
