current bands i just dont get

a lot has happened since 2001, it seems there has been many genres sprouting out and to me its sounds really ridiculous. first on the list is the emo, i dont know much about it except it seems like a fugly off shoot of the period Marilyn Manson had his antchrist superstar album. that period was when black was cool and being some kind of pseudo-goth/Manson disciple was the in thing. but this emo trend (in my humble opinion) adds the feelings of about being sad, gloomy, moody and depressed. emo’s should jump off a clif  if it really meant to be an emo. screw emo.

next is the cookie monster bands which arereally heavy except its cookie monster on the vocals. thats why i still listen to Slayer. Slayer has meaning, not mindless growls and you can sing with the lyrics included in the inlay card of the cd.  contohnya, cannibal corpse, opeth, and anything remotely scandinavian metal. the forests of darkness theme is getting old. kids are not scared of the dark, in fact in this age of internet, kids are de-sensitized (spelling?) with the copious amounts of violence they see everyday. i think if metallers’ of old were to hang around with the weakling brats of today, they’d probably raise a couple of eyebrows. i’m still holding on to slayer. i have a kid now. let him have sesame street for as long as he possibly can , i’ll  try to hide the slayer cd’s for as long as i can.

lamb of god, trivium, MCR, … i just dont get it.

Something else..

I have a Mac Air in front of me. its my father in laws and its a elegant little, slim thing. i dont have the knack for all things Mac (even uploading songs on an Ipod is troublesome…) but this slim-lined laptop is amazing.makes this black compaq im using look fat. cost my father in law rm 10 grand.  the power outlet to the Mac air is somewhat magnetized and sticks automatically when you place the charger near it. the interface is just the same as any conventional mac but i cant find the cd/dvd drive anywhere. cant have em all , i guess.
