F*ck You

As anyone who has been to school knows, Summer 2012 is coming to an end. A summer filled with dreams, friends, and latent homoeroticism. And for those of us who have to go back to school, it's the hellish reality of going back to those stone buildings and groan for the fact we have to go back.

But sometimes, it's nice to let off some steam, because it's been noted that swearing when in pain actually helps you endure it a bit more. So if you have ever been hurt by anyone, been called names, or have cut your finger while cutting a potato, this song and it's main word will help you a lot. 

From the iTunes section of my music archive, and from staunch Bush-hater Lily Allen, off her 2008 album It's Me, Not You is "Fuck You," which was briefly directed at former American President George W. Bush.

Fuck you, fuck you very, very much!

'Cause we hate what you do!

And we hate your whole crew!

So please don't stay in touch!

At the beginning, I really didn't think this song was good. I had gotten it as part of an AmazonMP3 sale where some songs where $.25 each and with $3 in credits, I figured "why not?"

And as I draw comics for main blog, I usually have iTunes open and doing it's thang, but this song has grown on me, like mold on bread or bigots on a gay porn website. And I really like the fact that's it's also British, and that it's not something One Direction-related. Bwah. 

From the English indie band The Wombats, from their latest album The Wombats Proudly Present... This Modern Glitch, is "Jump into the Fog."

What a great achievement it was

To find someone who shirks such little self-restraint

I'm a non believer but

I believe in these dirty little wicked games

Last February

This group was featured last here on The Archenemy a few weeks back and then back in February during Valentine's Day 2012. I've found that I really liked their music, although I'm about six years late for the album. I posted a screenshot of the image and had someone comment that with their iPod being filled with electronic dance music, this is the only non-EDM song left on there.

That's a great achievement if you ask me for any band to be left alone when their competition is being replaced with grinding sounds and beats that can't be physically achieved using a real drum set.

From their 2004 album Hot Fuss, The Killers' "Somebody Told Me."

Well somebody told me/ You had a boyfriend

Who looked like a girlfriend/ That I had in February of last year

La Playa (The Beach)

At my house, we have satellite television subscription. We subscribe to a Spanish television package and thus have a selection of both English and Spanish-language networks and channels. To bring our costs down, we decided to lose a bit of both. The only con of that is we have large gaps in our English channels now, which gets to be disappointing when you realize you don't have TLC or the BBC America.

Well, to get over this, I started to write down what channels to make so we only see the ones we have. And while doing this, I came across a Spanish channel running music videos. When I heard the following song, I actually stopped and waited until the song was over before I continued. That's how much I liked it.

So for this long-coming post (today is August 19th), here from Spanish pop group La Oreja de Van Gogh (Van Gogh's Ear), is "La Playa" ("The Beach").

Te voy a escribir la canción mas bonita del mundo.

Voy a capturar nuestra historia en tan solo un segundo.

Por mucho que pasen los anos de largo en su vida

I Want to Ride it!

If I could get a degree in staying up all night long, I'd get that fucker. It's all I do now. Awake at day; dirty nasty things at night. But I am productive, don't you know. For example, it's 2:18 AM as I write this and I scanned my computer for viruses, so I'm pretty much set tonight. I've also applied for many scholarships, so I'm good.

This song comes from yesterday (the 26th) while working on something, I think a Tofu drawing at 1 AM. From Queen off their 1978 album Jazz, "Bicycle Race."

You say black/ I say white

You say bark/ I say bite

You say shark/ I say 'Hey man!'

Jaws was never my scene/ And I don't like Star Wars
