An Apology to The Fans...

As I'm sure ALL of you noticed, yesterday was the first day since the Daily Weirdo began, that no posts were made.  This was due to the fact, that I am no longer an unemployed bum, and had a very eventful day.  I must warn you, that although I'd like for it to not, this may happen here and there from time to time.  I will now go through some of the angry emails I received this morning.

Lana Del Rey covers Nirvana..what about Axl?

The much talked about(usually in a negative light, unfortunately) Lana Del Rey, recently covered Nirvana's "Heart Shaped Box" at the Enmore Theater (Sydney, Australia).  While it has been rumored that Lana dates the washed up nut case that is Axl Rose, covering a song by an old nemesis of his, might suggest things are not going too well, if at all...or that Lana Del Rey may now be banned from all Guns N Roses concerts.

Fur Revenge!

There are a few things in this world that totally disgust me.  Okay, well a lot more than a few, but to name a couple, loud car stereo's blasting reggaeton, and fur coats.  Let's talk about fur coats. I am not sure what compels a person to buy one.  I am also not sure how said person can not see how cruel it is to kill multiple animals just to make a really dumb looking coat.  I feel like it is a way for snobby rich people to show off their money.
I decided it was up to me to exact some sort of revenge, while at the same time letting them know how disgusting fur is. While I didn't have the time, skills or mental illness necessary to find some of these people and make a skin coat out of them,  I figured a harmless prank would have to suffice. 

Mick Jagger turns 69, and admits to screwing Bowie.

69 years ago today, Mick Jagger was born in Kent, England.  He would go on to selling over 200 million records as the singer for the Rolling Stones, and become, aside from maybe Lennon or McCartney, the biggest name in Rock n Roll.  Not a bad life.  I can only imagine how he is celebrating sixty-nine years and how many girls are involved.   If you multiply his age by fifty, then add another five hundred and fifty, you will get a number close to the number of women Mick Jagger has slept with.  This was revealed in a new biography "Mick: The Wild Life and Mad Genuis of Mick Jagger" written by Chris Anderson. If you are bad at math, basically he has slept with around 4,000 women....I'm not even sure I have talked to that many women in my lifetime...

the Wallflowers get help from Mick Jones on new single

The Wallflowers, who haven't released an album since "Rebel, Sweetheart" (2005), have finally gotten their shit together to record a new album.  The album is called "Glad All Over", and will be available October 2nd of this year. On the first (of possibly two single's), "Reboot the Mission",  Jakob Dylan recruits Mick Jones of the Clash fame to join on guitar and vocals. When I saw a quote from Dylan saying, the Wallflowers were aspiring to be "a rock band that could make a dance track too" I was a little worried, like, please don't tell me they've also brought in Timbaland...

Tim Heidecker records Bob Dylan song before Bob Dylan

Tim Heidecker, known for the genius of that which is "the Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job" furthered his clever genius-ness (sp???) in song form recently.  Upon hearing the rumor that on Bob Dylan's new album "Tempest", due out on September 11th, there would be a 14 minute song about the titanic, Tim, decided maybe he should make a 15 minute version himself.

Speaking of Gilbert Gottfried...Any "50 Shades of Grey" Fans?

Gilbert Gottfriend, controversial comedian who appalled many with his comments on Japan after the Tsunami, may have redeemed himself.  He recently did a reading of "50 Shades of Grey", the female written novel that has basically become the female equivalent to what pornography is for men.  Not sure this will have women all that aroused, but unlike his Japan comments, this is actually funny.

Bruce Springsteen is a nice guy.

Remember last year when this raving lunatic in Norway planted a bomb in a car in front of some  government buildings which went off and killed eight people?  Then a few hours later, he showed up at summer camp dressed as a police officer and opened fire on a crowd killing sixty-nine more people.  Well this past Sunday, July 22nd, marked the one year anniversary of this event, and to remember the victims, a Memorial concert was scheduled.  Guess who showed up?  I'll give you a hint, it wasn't Gilbert Gottfried...

Pee Wee Herman Exonerated!!!

America can now sleep a little better at night knowing that Pee Wee Herman, was NOT indeed masturbating at an adult movie theater back in July of 1991.  This is actually somewhat dated news, but for some reason, did NOT make national headlines because we live in a world where the media would rather focus on making serial killers famous...

Amy Winehouse has been gone for 1 year/kicked a lot of ass..

Today, July 23rd 2012 marks the one year anniversary of Amy Winehouse's death.  She only made it to the age of 27, but accomplished a ton in that little time, including being a bad-ass singer, as well as just a bad-ass in general.  It's a shame I didn't meet Amy before this Blake Fielder-Civil douchebag, who basically ruined her life.  But I didn't, and like Flavor Flav says "that's the way the ball bounces G"...

Time to ruin your weekend, sorry...

 Daily Weirdo counts down it's 10 most depressing songs of all time...

So maybe none of your friends liked that new facebook picture of you holding the big fish you caught on your trip to Maine?  Or, the person you just went on a really nice date with the other night, tells you they are "actually really busy the next few weeks" but "will let you know when they're free again".  Whatever the case is,  if you ever feel the need to put on some really depressing music, grab a glass of wine and just wallow,  I'm going to help you out.

I've seen lots of these lists on other blogs, but never one that I fully agree with.  It's quite a hard task, but I think I've done a pretty good job.  If you  aren't drowning in a puddle of tears by the end,  I'll be damned. Enjoy, you miserable bastards...
