Bums O mnly

Well, fellow milkshake expert Collin Decker called me today and said it was time for another post and I do agree it has been a good while since I've done a must post well more like a month if you want to be all scientific. For this post I decided I would only use the letter B I don't really know why I chose B but it probably has something to do with me being totally afraid of Bees so they are always on my mind Because you never know when some big nasty rogue bee is going to come out of nowhere and pow you in the nose. You know fucking bees these days I swear they drive me crazy I'm so glad its almost winter because I love to see them all die because I always think to myself, "Ha you stupid bee whose scared now!!" You know its really sad I wrote the actual post for this a long while back (I'd say about last Tuesday) but somehow I deleted it so i'm really half assing this one because I'm not really in the mood for writing right now but the people need my music or else they'll get the bends or something horrible like that. The reason I bring up my long lost post is because I only used B words for the entire thing and that took quite some time and effort so much effort in fact that there is no way in hell I'm doing that again.
So about this playlist! It really makes me mad that I can't put any of the music I buy on here because there were so many awesome songs I wanted to use but the files were protected, DAMN YOU ITUNES! Its funny because you can steal a song easier than buying one so why they take the effort to write crazy codes I don't know. People don't even think of music like they used to I mean I really don't know that many people that take the time to save up some money to buy some music and If I were to have purchased all my music it would be $14.000 plus some tax and there is no way I would ever buy that much music. You know people might come out at me and yell at me about how i'm not supporting the artist but I don't think they should be saying anything because I don't really care. I mean why should musicians be rich weren't all music people dirt poor before the advent of recording and record companies. Besides If I made music and was signed to some major label I know I wouldn't be to happy I mean i'm sure theY boss you around and tell you what you can and can't put on your next record because they are the ones producing it. I think bands should just record at home and jack up the prices for concerts because with this whole internet thing we have its pretty hard to miss a concert you want to see. Anyway it is crucial that when you download this and open the folder you put them on a playlist and burn to a CD and listen to it in your car just make sure that you keep them in the same order you found them because I put all the tracks in a good order so it kinda flows or at least I think it does.
That reminds me when I made this post I was going to make sons that talk about Alex in them but that would take forever but believe it or not I've heard like 7 good songs I have that say my name and I like to pretend they are talking about me and only me I also like to think that no one else on the plant has my name so I feel really. I'm pretty tired so I don't think i'm going to write anymore e

Poor Phil




I feel like a asshole my friend Phil in Austin sent me some milkshake pics and I totally forgot to put them up on the last post. While phil really wasn't drinking a milkshake in his pics he got close enough and at least took the effort to take a picture and show his pride. In these pics he is eating/drinking some home grown shit he has a bowl of ice cream covered in milk which i think is totally revolutionary and new to the scene. I really think anyone who comes to this blog needs to realise the significance of this... think about it your there at your house totally blenderless and out of cash and you are really itching for a fix. What do you do?? make do with what you've got. Phil's methods totally remind me of a young karl marx or the unabomber or even an asian bob sagget.

One year of mayhem
Ah yes, here it is. Today is a day of glory and pride, for it is the first anniversary of all the mayhem. As we continue on life endeavors, we still share one thing in common: being able to stop, relax, and enjoy a milkshake.
At this time, I'd like to announce that milkshake mayhem has gone international! Here's some sweet pictures sent to us from australia.




When you go to have a milkshake, don't forget to take a picture to remember how awesome it is!
create mayhem. have fun.

Deerhunter

Well I was going to write a post for a really long stereolab album I have but it turns out that album is so long that I would need to pay for a mediafire account and I say fuck that! why would I pay for something people are downloading for free?? well on second thought I probably would have done it but I don't have a credit card because one way or another the bank seems to have it out for me. So I guess technologically I'm in a sort of decompensating condition. Thats why I just decided to not put a stereolab album up(It brings up thoughts of my technological inadequacy). So ashes to ashes dust to dust.
Any way I decided i'd put up my favourite album of all time by one of my favourite bands ever. The album if i'm right came as a bonus when you bought the album Microcastles. I can't tell you how much I love this album and this band I actually went out of state once just to see this band where they were going to play some songs from this album. I don't need to say much about this band here because the lead singer Bradford Cox is a little internet extraordinaire. You can read everything he has to say and download tonssssss of music off his blog.
I'm happy to say that it looks like milkshakes are coming back into style I have 5 photos just itching to be posted from a Mr. Phil Baire down in Austin. I would have more if a girl named Hazel from Queensland Australia will stop being lazy and send me her photos. I'm sure your asking your self why I'm not doing that whole milkshake dance still? And I ask that same question to my self every single day and night and to tell you the truth I really don't know but I'm definitely going to just blame Collin and only Collin.

Alight of Night.zip
For my next post I thought I would cover an album that is pretty new its by a band called crystal stilts. The albums called Alight of Night and I guess this is the part where I'm supposed to say something about how this album name fits the feel of the album but I can't think of any good real reason of why so I'm going to go ahead and stop there before I say something stupid. Anyway this album came out in 2008 and I think it's a totally awesome album its real Lo-fi and not Lo-Fi in the hipster douche bag sense of making it Lo-Fi purely to be cool its Lo-Fi because recording it in Lo-Fi sound gives it a real neo-garage sixties garage feel. Everything is distorted even the vocals scratch the walls of your ears its like if scratching a chalk board suddenly sounded appealing or something. some of the lyrics really stand out to me like in one song the singer says "thats not the real sun and i'm not a real boy" which to me makes me think of waking up in a tangent universe and knowing that you're not where your supposed to be and saying thats not the sun as i know and i'm not a boy as they know me to be. Don't ask me why and i know he doesn't sound anything like him but for some reason whenever I listen to the crystal stilts I can't help but think of the misfits singer if he got kicked in the balls a couple of times and don't get me wrong this is anything but a punk album (well i don't know its more punk than lets say a rap album but unless you're a total idiot you get what I mean). But the reason I say that is because the way the singer carries on in a low pitch howling meets humming kind of style. I think the way the singer projects his sound is really what makes the band. This album was definitely made in some sort of strung out state I'm coming to this conclusion because the singer says things like "were snorting dreams" which makes me think of some sort of drug induced ambition. You know the kind of thing someone says they'll do one day when they are all fucked up but if they were sober they would probably never get around to it. The singer goes on to saying other things like "we knew we had to leave as soon as the sun rose...we have to leave this town to keep our selves in tact now if we can only get our bodies to react" like waking up after some crazy party gone wrong and trying to get the hell out of their but you can hardly force your self to make it to the door the song also makes tones of references to the sin king which is obviously some vice lord or something. I don't know these are totally un-scolicted opinions but I like what I think and i'm staying with that. All I can say other than that is that this Brooklyn band's album has crazy distorted garage rock riffs reverb crazy organ and vocals that must be purposely maxed out in the red on a Mixer but they don't pierce your ears so it's really hard to explain. I highly recommend this album to anyone who likes lo-fi.

Cut Copy
Bright Like Neon Love.zipThe Milkshake thing is kinda dying and I really wanted to keep up with this blog so I decide I'd change it up a little bit and have it serve dual purposes. One purpose is to secure and promote the proper function of milkshakes in mainstream society and the other is to encourage the masses to listen to what I deem good music. If there were two things I could not go without in this world one would be milkshakes and the other would be music. I've always wanted to do this but for the most part I have been far to lazy to do so but the other day my good friend Steven sent me a link to his blog and he inspired me to do the same. Fellow milkshake contributor Collin Decker has been a long time music evangelist until one day he got lame and stopped making posts. The problem with Collin is that he doesn't understand that music is eternal and must be tended to like a flock of sheep in the summer (you know like shaving and whatnot). So I took it upon my self to exhume the ashes of what once was CD-panda and have taken the liberty of moving its mission over to Milkshake Mayhem. So without further to say I bring you the first music oriented post
