Nine Bands you hate but I like

Everyone has one. You know that band or song you totally get, but everyone else thinks your lame for liking it. So you tell no one.
It's your little secret.

Well the secret's out, here are ten bands you hate but I like.




Blink 182 - old and new. Yeah that's right. Self title is actually one of my favorites. I think "All the small things" really did a disservice to this band. Not everyone got that it was a joke. With emotional lyrics of childhood experiences and Travis Barker's god-like drum skills, this band's an underrated classic and should not be on this list.

Eiffel 65- While I never listened to them before or after, there was a period of time when I listened to their album. I particularly like their song about the P>L>A>Y>S>T>A>T>I>O>N>. They even list off a few of my favorite games like res evil and metal gear solid.


David Allen Coe- Crude, lude, racist humor. A lot of people can't stomach Coe and for good reason. Drawing his comedy from a simpler and definitely more Southern flavor. I think it amuses me because of how blatenly obscene it is. like i had to hear it to be leave it.

Gwar - Killing babies, cannibalism, and the sexacutioner. Need I say more?


AFI- Quite possibly the band that started the vamp craze, I still enjoy the noir-style lyrics and metaphors of the children of the night. Their songs are as if there was a love story musical about vampires.

Brotha Lynch - The father of horror-core genre ( yeah wiki said so). this is another one i listened to just  to hear the crazy s@#% he'd come up with. Warning explicit lyrics!

Stabbing Westward - This band was my " Cure". I bought all their cd's at the time ('01) from some
kid at my school for ten bucks all together and listened to them repeatedly after losing my first girlfriend. What, after the two weeks it just felt like it was going to be forever MAGY!:)


Michael Jackson- Another one that shouldn't be on this list. Unfortunately his presence off the stage is what lands him on here. I always get a couple of weird looks if I mention liking Mike. Let's not forget he is the king.


Hollywood Undead- A band that could be easily confused with ICP. I feel like these guys are almost something good. Some of the rappers really are phenomenal, but the singing and other lyrics bring them back down a notch.

Don’t Forget the Cake!


  Fallow “The Bohemian Atheist”: Facebook twitter  tumblr blogger reddit email Youtube




So there’s this video game Portal and not only is it a Perfect game but….
What….
I’m not saying it….
NO it’s a cliche and I have standers good sir
OK how about this ill just say the Cake is a Dark S 7 Maneuver
And if you got that reference congrats you’re as big a loser as I am!
All jokes aside, Portal IS one of the BEST GAMES in recent years! That’s right you heard me. Humor at perfect pitch, controls like the trident of Poseidon controlling the seas themselves, and one of the most compelling diabolically logical psychotic villains ever glad-us. You think the repetitive bosses from bio-shock or the ending to Half life was “challenging” then you’ll flip your shit with this crazy bitch. She’s not bad she’s not good she just is.

And that’s scary as hell.

Oh and she likes science…

AAAAAAALOT!

 shes just a little to excited to see you in peril. In fact, she loves science so much she sings about it.
Make sure when you hear the song you have a extra pair of ball huggers handy because you will reach full release at this moment. (gross I know) Like a gift for complete the science “tests”.

Fever Tangent:

Remember when games would reword you for completing it. SMB gave you a more challenging version of the whole game with easier enemies swopped out for harder enemies. Or silent hills multiple endings depending if you played more conservatively with your supplies. Now adays you get Mass Effect 3 with multiple conclusions so minutely different  (SERIUSLY THE DIFFERENCE IN SOME IS SIMPLY A SWOPPED COOL/WARM EFFECT TO THE COLORS) they had to develop a prolog to black hole of plot holes and the sheer outrage of the fans, reluctantly given away a better prologe for no charge. Now adays if you qwant a reward you have to pay atleast 10 bucks for some dlc you know was in the code of the game and on the disk. 
But I digress
.

After battling and defeating glad us she sings a remorseful and superficial acceptence

Hate, Love,

Regret, Betrayal,

Logic, Emotion,

Realization, Psychosis,

Tragedy, triumph.

It’s all here rapped into a dark humorous yet saddening song burrito.

Jonathan Coulton the writer and performer of the song is also know from his code monkey song depicting the people who punch out line after line of code for gaming as simple people Frito’s and mountain due. Also for Want You Gone” the Sequel  Portal 2’s credit them. 

Now you’d think the first time it was a great game with a great song but can they do it twice. Well hell yeah they can were talking valve here. Their take are sweet ass time make you drool in anticipation and release it when it’s ready (HALF LIFE PART 3 PLEASE….NOW!!)

I put the links to both Still Alive and Want You Gone But I recommend beating the game and hearing it as I did. A reward for your hard work for Science!

oh and this last ones a remix i made of Still Alive. Enjoy!
