Music Blog

Oops I accidentally posted a blank entry by hitting the "Enter" key. x.x

Here are 2 music related topics I'm going to throw all together in a catch all blog.

I'm saddened by the closing of Smart Studios. It's a pretty historic place to the Darkings. Aside from it being a historic place in Garbage history. It is also historic to other bands like Nirvana. Butch has a pretty impressive resume aside from his work with Garbage.

Too bad I didn't get to see it. Well you know I still haven't seen all the historic local No Doubt related places. It's not like I was going to Wisconsin anytime soon. Although I'd like to sample some cheese there.

I'm still working on my Beastie Boys parody song. It's called "Casserole" and is a parody of "Sabotage". I've only written the first 2 paragraphs though.

Casserole

Don’t eat it, you don’t need it
You can’t relate to the food I make
Your insults are really mean
Cause my oven door really isn’t clean
If you don’t want it then say goodbye
Quicker than the omelet I fried
Not blackened or made of coal
I'm tellin' y'all it's a casserole

So, so, so, so listen up 'cause you can't taste nothin'
You act like I cooked something made of mutton
I’m feeling really withdrawn
Good thing I didn’t cook you a prawn. Spam!

Fan Art!

Ok enough about Halloween costumes for now.

Here is a blog showing some of my fan art. I felt this was not worthy of posting on deviantart.

I drew all of these in 2002 except for the Mew Cloudberry one. I drew that one earlier in the month. I decided I’d stop teasing this drawing.
Mew Cloudberry is one of my new Tokyo Mew Mew fan characters. I got the idea for her while I was watching the Dotch Cooking Show and a cloudberry was one of the fruits they mentioned in that episode. After that I looked up what a cloudberry was and where it was grown. It thought it would be fun to add an orange colored Mew. They have a bunch of other colors; Berry-white, Ichgo-pink, Ringo-red, Lettuce-green, Mint-blue, Zakuro-purple, Pudding-yellow. Also I didn’t want her name to be from a common food like Mew Carrot, Mew Orange, Mew Tangerine, or Mew Kumquat.

Character profile; Cloudberry is from the United Kingdom. Her animal is the red fox. Her weapon is the Cloudberry Sword and her attack is “Cloudberry Sword Parade!” I have another Tokyo Mew Mew fan character that I also made up who is from the UK. But I haven’t drawn her yet.
This is a parody of the album cover “Tragic Kingdom”. The joke among my friends was that I liked pikachu and Gwen Stefani so much why not combine them and make Pikagwen? Pikagwen is more pikachu than human. Sometimes Pikagwen has hair. It doesn’t really talk or sing either aside from saying “pika!” and stuff like that. I was bored one day in class at school so I drew this. It was hard to get the pose right since pikachu has a stocky body. I was going to draw other Pokemon in the background besides Togepi, but I never did. I think I was going to draw a Charmander, Squirtle, and a few others. That dotted circle in the background is not an orange it’s the moon.
This drawing was inspired by Casey. A character from Pokemon who loves baseball. If I remember correctly. I added Gwen to the drawing because I had a dream about Gwen playing baseball. Originally Gwen’s bat said “bat” on it. O_o One of my friends said it looks like Gwen is hitting pikachu with the bat. I forget why Gwen’s baseball uniform is red. I had a boring day at school that day, and I was working on the picture throughout the day.

This is a really old Powerpuff Girl style drawing of Shirley Manson. I drew this after I saw her perform during the “Beautifulgarbage” tour. This is a drawing of the outfit she wore at the show. I liked the Powerpuff Girls so much back then I use to draw everybody as a PPG.

Superior Motor Skills

I never realized my dad is a hunt and peck typist. He says he’s been working with computers for all these years. What exactly was he doing? I know he said he worked with old programs, but typing is typing.

After watching him type one day I was thinking about how much I love the Angelfish song “Mummy Can’t Drive”. So I decided to write a parody song about my dad’s lack of typing skills. I also included an unfinished parody of “Please Don‘t Stop the Music”, that I wrote about farting. Farts/farting is a good topic for song parodies. It took me 5 days to write the Angelfish parody.

Daddy Can’t Type (a parody of "Mummy Can't Drive" by Angelfish)

Daddy can’t type
There’s too much pride
I know what I’m doing
He said, I know what I’m doing

Daddy can’t type
Daddy can’t type
Hunt and peck ain’t right

He can’t see the keys
See the site
See the screen
See the font
See anything
Mom’s laughing
Kid’s laughing

Daddy can’t type (he don‘t know, he don‘t know)
Daddy can’t type (he don‘t know, he don‘t know)
Hunt and peck ain’t right
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no,
He can't type

Don’t press the keys too hard
Don’t press the keys too hard
“Hey not too hard” the keys cry out
Mom’s laughing (I know what I’m doing )
Kid’s laughing (I know what I’m doing )
Mom’s laughing (I know what I’m doing )
Kid’s laughing (I know what I’m doing )

Because daddy can’t type (he don‘t know, he don‘t know)
Daddy can’t type (he don‘t know, he don‘t know)
Daddy can’t type (he don‘t know, he don‘t know)
Daddy can’t type (he don‘t know, he don‘t know)
Daddy can’t type (he don‘t know, he don‘t know)
You’ve got to take out your flash drive (take out your flash drive )
You’ve got to take out your flash drive (take out your flash drive )

You know daddy can’t type (daddy can‘t type)
Daddy can’t type (daddy can‘t type)
He’s got a mouse on the side (he‘s got a mouse on the side)
You know daddy can’t type (daddy can‘t type)

Daddy can’t type
Daddy can’t type
Daddy can’t type
Daddy can’t type

Here is the unfinished parody of the Rihanna song ""Please Don't Stop the Music"

My dad also has a hard time using a mouse. I don’t know why he always boasts about his great motor skills and hand eye coordination he has/had because he was athlete. You should see him try to use it. He makes big jerky movements. He also slams it down too. He has a hard time with the scroll wheel.

Red in the Face

So, No Doubt is doing some local shows this weekend concerts and I’m not going. :(

I’m not worried. I’m not even blue in the face.

Of course I am a little upset. Who wouldn’t be? I mean if you are a No Doubt fan who isn’t going. I don’t feel desperation and despair like I felt back when I was a foolish 7th grader.

I did try this week to win No Doubt tickets from KROQ, but I didn’t. My dad wanted me to win the grand prize to Hawaii, but I didn’t really care about that prize. That didn’t mean I didn’t want to win it. I would have been happy just winning the lower tier prize which was tickets to see them at a local show.

This blog isn’t all about No Doubt although I should dedicate a blog to them soon. A few days ago I had a beauty/grooming mishap and I got a red mark on my face. It’s not a pimple though. I’m so embarrassed! >.< I came up with a new parody song today. It’s not quite finished I’m not going to say which song I parodied or what it’s about. If I complete it then I’ll post it.

Twitter Friend- A parody of Bad Boyfriend

I wrote this yesterday night. It took me a couple of hours. I was going to use “Queer”, but it was too hard for me to use to write about twitter. This is the first “nerdy” parody song I wrote. Tell me what you think. I had been working on a parody of Rihannna’s “Umbrella” which was going to be a song about the Winx Club character Stella. Who is my favorite character BTW. Here’s a picture of her. Here’s a sample of the unfinished chorus:
“From the sunlight, she gets her power
Her and Brandon forever
She’ll always help her friends
-
-
-
Her name is Stella
Her name is Stella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Stella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Stella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Stella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)”

I also tried to write a parody of “I Think I‘m Paranoid” about being unemployed called “I Think I‘m Unemployed”, but I couldn’t work out the chorus on that one. I was so inspired by Weird Al’s “White & Nerdy” to write song about the otaku culture. I was going to use Imperial Teen’s “Yoo Hoo”. I never got past the chorus. Here is a sample of the chorus I wrote:
”I otaku , I otaku , I otaku
I otaku , I otaku , I otaku
She said otaku (x4)”

Twitter Friend- A parody of Bad Boyfriend

I wrote a tweet Come read it and see
“I just had some really great tea”

I wrote something really inane
“Look I made a paper plane!”

Come on and be my twitter friend

So ripe so tweet come read it and see
Watch out people I tweet constantly
These kind of tweets are funny to all my friends
Come on and be my twitter friend

This tweet does not suck
“Ate a pound of sugar”
I tweeted what?
I want to be followed by one thousand and ten
Come on and be my twitter friend

Why don’t you RSS feed me?
Why don’t you follow me?
Why don’t you @me?
My tweets were dumb from the start

“Under the couch I found 3 dimes”
“That’s the most money I could find”
I can write something meaningful at least now and then
Come on and be my twitter friend

If you want me to sound important just pretend
Please help my topic trend
If you want me to sound important just pretend
Come on and be my twitter friend
