Ha, the ewok humor genre has really been untapped, who would have thought, out of all the tv networks, spiketv would be the first to pioneer into the uncharted funnies.


Don t Mess with the Ewoks

FREEDOM IS THE ONLY WAY, YEAH!

Today I was awoken by the sweet American sounds of a flock of eagles scattered in my orchard of apple-pie trees singing the melody of the national anthem. I took a fresh breath of freedom and was ready to kick some ass for the day.

ROCK, FLAG AND EAGLE!!!



happy 4th ya'll,

Introducing: The Scare Bear

Ever seen that t-shirt ad on the side of some website with the girl wearing the t-shirt that says "we're going streaking"? She is also fake taking her top off. Well, call me a pig, but I was won over and HAD to check out this t-shirt website. I'm not the biggest fan of the screen-printed-funny-saying-t-shirt industry, but I was browsing for a few seconds and ran across this creature called the scarebear! Needless to say, I chuckled...now you get to see it.


I don't think I'd pay for it to be in my closet, but it is a pretty funny thought. Anyway, I'm all about the free promotion. So if you are into that kinda thing: snorg tees

Oh yeah, another thing, I heard via pitchfork that Zach de la Rocha of Rage Against The Machine and Jon Theodore, who used to be drum for The Mars Volta, are teaming up to create the band One Day as a Lion. If I remember correctly, Jon is pretty politically charged as well, so hopefully they can channel their strong feelings into some ground breaking stuff. Now I feel the post isn't completely useless. To bad they didn't name the band One Day as a Bear, I would feel clever.

I'll be on the lookout,

A Chuckle For You

Another gem from one of my favorite comic sites,graphjam.com, be sure to check out their stuff.

Songs in my head today:

I had two things stuck in my head today at different times. The first is "My Body is a Cage" by Arcade Fire. I assume it was there because it's so damn good, and in honor of that I've found this neat little video featuring that very song set over scenes from an old western move, "Once Upon a Time in the West" by Sergio Leone. Here it is:



The other thing I had in my head was "Day Man," a 30 second song created by "Charlie" in an episode of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia." Not as serious as the first, but you better believe it's just as awesome ("master of karate, and friendship, for everyone!") I promise you'll be humming it :D

Kangaroos Are Wierd-Looking, And Apparently Relaxed

Have you ever driven down the street to stop at your local bike store only to be starred at by some wanna-be GaNgStER with a "hard" attitude? During this interesting confrontation, I was listening to an Outback Steakhouse ad being played on the glorious "Magic 105.7". Now I knew going into it that it was the Kevin Barnes (Of Montreal) jingle that for some reason exists. However, this time it was different. It was a Father's Day version... Now I love Of Montreal's power pop hooks and indie jams as much as the next guy, but damn. I hope to god he got paid a fair amount of coin for that tomfoolery. Ok, so this obviously got my musical juices flowing, and also caused me to kinda zone out and accidentally return a blank stare that he seemed to misinterpret for a "hard" gangS-T-A-R stare back. I wonder if he wanted to fight me for looking at him. That is pretty impressive, made me wonder what he was listening to. I want to get a hold of whatever it was, because it must be some damn intense stuff if that was his reaction. Then, in a sudden moment enlightenment, I realized he could be listening to Kevin Barnes on that lame ass Father's Day ad. This sensation quickly declined as I passed him in my car only to realize the bike shop had been closed for two hours.

No Rules, Just Right

I went to Ruby Tuesday's later on that night...gg Kevin Barnes, heh.

Listening to "A Night at the Opera", Thinking About Mercury (uh oh)

I think Freddy Mercury was so popular with the ladies (and men, as it were) because he had the gift of SASS. While at mention of that word you probably were haunted with visions of Rosie Perez (and I sincerely apologize), that isn't at all what I mean. Freddie had ATTITUDE, and his singing was bold and ballsy. This comes from someone who has never seen a video of the man singing--and I don't need to. I can hear his intensity and his passion. But, you say, many singers are passionate and many sing very beautifully! True, says I, but singers today often lack a something, an invisible presence, and that is where I think this "sass" word comes in. When I hear Mercury singing I envision him getting all up in someone's biddness, snapping his fingers in their face and cracking a roguish grin. Weird vison? Yes...perhaps I can phrase it in a less repressed-emotion sort of way: If Freddie Mercury were on American Idol he would silence Simon, make that drunk woman fall off her chair, and make the stereotypically black man say something along the lines of, "dogggg you a bomb-diggit madman." (No offense intended). Modern rock doesn't exist without Queen, and Queen wouldn't be Queen without that not-like-a-barrio-girl-sassy-but-sassy-nonetheless lead singer, Freddy Mercury.

Random: "Family History"

Well, it's kinda late... I would start with the reviews (new pornos/okkervil, yeasayer/man man will be up shortly) but, I'm just not up for it tonight. Anyway, a friend of mine sent me this assignment I did in high school to kinda mock my teacher/assignment. Anyway, in case you've been wondering, this is my families history. I hope you can forgive any grammar/ spelling the senior year version of Tony made, and I hope nothing is too offensive or revealing. Anyway, if your bored, take a gander. Those reviews will be up by the end of the week (crosses fingers).

Anthony Schneider, the product of the joining of the Mozetti-Schneider family with the Adams-Leforte family. Families whose origins reside in Italy, Germany and France (the sweet part). This combination of ultimate nations supplied the genes to create a being who would later become the legendary "Tony Schneider". Although myths of mystical intervention have been in circulation for years, I am actually mainly of Italian and German decent with a few ewok alterations here and there. The raw power of my creator blessed me with the 6'7 330lb frame in which i currently reside as a direct result of where my relatives where from. Despite rumors of a mutated genetic code, I am actually considered an offspring of an immigrant based family, contrary to the recent studies and tests of Dr. Xavier himself.(P.h.D in being sweet).

The Mozetti family is where i must start, a family who crossed the borders in a very immigrant-like fashion, unlike modern border hoppers, they went through what is known as Ellis Island during the summer months of 1939. This is where the immigrants went to be cross examined whether or not they deserved to be an American. The Mozetti family easily passed what they need to and decided to move to the town of Alliance to "work" at the brickyards as a front. A front is a job taken to mask the real job of knocking people off and organized crime. They quickly found out the United States had much more opportunity than the war torn skies of Italy. Rather than making wine in the families vineyard, they now "worked at the brick yard", which proved more effective. In honor of the families success they had a child named grandma Schneider, who later became the sweetest lady ever to exist in the world (love you grandma). This is where I learned my street sense and gangster-like walk that I now do on occasion in honor of the Mozetti family.

The Adams family (theme music plays *snap*snap*) on the other hand is where I received my great love for America. They have no record that I could find on arrival into the United States except for the search for work, so therefore I can safely assume that they have been here pretty darn long. The family settled in the small blue-collar town of Phillipsburg Pennsylvania and has had Pennsylvania pride ever since. Records show that they have close relation to the great American John Quincy Adams, who was of course one of our greatest Presidents. As the family progressed, they also developed more of a claim to fame, records also show a direct relation to the king himself, Elvis Presley. Before he was unfortunately abducted by aliens he did a lot for modern rock in the USA. So in conclusion, although the Adams family may have come from from the country of Hungry they have gratefully contributed to my direct love for America and modern rock music...long live Uncle Presley.

A lot like the Mozetti family, the Leforte tribe came to the red, white and blue in search of change and new opportunity. They had a deep french history of beig better than other Frenchmen because of their name which literally means THE STRONG. Upon arrival in 1904, they had little trouble throwing their weight around and striking fear into the hearts of their new American brethren. They slowly ended up in the fine state of Pennsizzle-Vizania where they settled down and developed a breed of hard-nosed football players. Their second son, a bouncing baby boy named Jack CAESER "the strong" Leforte soon became all that there is to be on the football field. Despite contemplating offers from major football squads SUCH AS THE PITTSBURGH STEELERS (according to the main man himself...CAESER), he was drawn into the "gung-ho" attitude of Uncle Sam's aqua team, the U.S Navy. After fighting off all the bad guys every chance he got, he fell into a deep love spell with Anna Adams who later became my grammy who I love. Caesar of course was my grandfather...duh. At an early age his Jedi Masters noticed his mitochlorian count to be above normal, surpassing even the great Yoda. He focused his energy and turned out to be my grandfather, which why i have chosen the path of the Jedi. Anyway, as his family developed, he noticed his great love for camping which has inspired me to go down the lonesome path of a druid and learn the art of wielding nature.

The most obvious part of my heritage would be the Schneiders. They were a prestigious Germanic family who were NOT NAZIs, I REPEAT, NOT NAZIs. They made their living in the field of Tailoring or making clothes, you'll like the way you look, I guarantee it. Although, as the hunch of First World War came around, they decided they had to get out of the country and move to all that is The United States of America. When they first arrived in 1907, they lived in a small town in Ohio and worked in the factories the great state had to offer. Eventually a boy named Frank Schneider was born into the family and began working at an early age. With all his hard work and determined mindset, he soon reaped the rewards of being a successful man. After honorably doing his part in world war two he got married to the previously mentioned Grandma Schneider who was at the time Bruna Mozetti. (Sidenote: Frank also had a boy named Steve, who later developed into Buck Schneider who only lives in local folklore) The two families eventually fused together into one with the marriage of JoAnn Leforte to Gary "G-Diddy" Schneider. The new family decided to have a son, whose name isn’t that important, but its Vinny. Then after two painful years, they had another, more awesome son named Tony or Erodorno in Elvin, he proved to be a direct result of the above awesomeness explained in the brief family histories. The new Schneider family has come to be quite the prodigy family, by fulfilling the prophecies and legacies left behind by their relatives. In conclusion, all the families decided to come to the great country of the United States for search of a better life, and it seems that they all found what they were looking for. After all, we are all sons and daughters of our Lord and Savior, the Son of God, Your Man, the Omnipotent, "the match maker match maker make me a match", Shiva.

Ha, cracks me up.

Damnit!

I waited to long to call for Vampire Weekend tickets, I didn't think they would sell out. But, I mean they have been getting a ton of hype as of these past few weeks. Maybe I'll swing by the Wex and see if there are any scalpers...

What a bummer.

I'll leave you with this. Thanks zakatak.
