Once upon a time, a very beautiful blogger met a ruggedly handsome Internet. Some time later, after many escapades and lots of love, a music blog was born.
Something terrible has happened, Internet. Something that combines one thing that I like very much and one thing which I despise. Never far enough.
Yes. That's right. Nickelback is headlining the 2012 NHL hockey awards.
If you want to find out the specifics and see Chad Kroeger's new, ugly-ass haircut, you'll enjoy this.
The NHL website called Nickelback the "Top Group of the Decade," as well as the following untruth:
"As die-hard hockey fans, we can never get enough of the NHL, even when we're on tour. And there is nothing more exciting for hockey fans than the Playoffs. The NHL Awards is the culmination of celebrating the best players and moments the season has produced. We're honored and humbled to perform at the 2012 NHL Awards in Las Vegas," said Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger.
This is a lie. Chad Kroeger doesn't know how to use the word culmination. Oh God do I hate Nickelback.
What's that? You haven't heard this song yet? Goodness me.
I usually don't like haunting tunes like the ones Good Charlotte tends to put out recently. (Side note, I would like Synyster Gates for Christmas. Make it so, Readers.)
That being said, I am freaking in love with this song and with Gotye in general. In preparation for the rest of my musical obsession, I listened to some more of his music, including his big hits, Eyes Wide Open (one of my now-favorite songs), Easy Way Out, and Smoke and Mirrors. They're all actually quite good, and they have the same dreamy overtone as this one does. But, I would advise you to listen to his music before watching the videos. Some of them are really unusual.
But, the real reason Gotye gets almost an entire blog post to himself is because of two things; first, the following video of the very same song I posted above.
UNF.
I had a violent eargasm at 1:36.
This was recorded live, which means that, yes, boys and girls, his voice is just amazing, no smoke and mirrors. (pun intended.) This also means that Kimbra has some weird performing habits. #handgestures EDIT: Does anyone else notice that when he says "like it never happened and that we were nothing," he puts in a good many unnecessary M sounds? "like it never happmenedm and that we werem nothing."
The second reason is something I must preface. You all know that I am not a superficial person. All the same though, I can appreciate a pretty face.
Gotye has a pretty face. I like it a lot.
This goes to show that you don't have to be extremely attractive to get ladies.
I usually don't have a thing for foreign men in tight pants. Eh, there's a first time for everything.
That concludes this portion of the program. But, as promised, I do have one more good-lookin' Australian I'd like to steal away. His name is Daniel Johns, and he is an Australian musician from the band Silverchair. His music is not that good, in my opinion. But, check it out yourself. His style is not my thing, and I don't like that at times he gets uncomfortably close to being flat. It makes me cringe.
Regardless, HERE is a huge, great photo gallery for those of you who like boys. (And for those of you who like ladies, there is Kylie Minogue. I'd love to post a link to a gallery, but I can't find one that doesn't star her breasts. Google is a thing.)
That's all. I hope I exposed you to some good, new music and/or some beautiful faces.
Keep the messages coming. By the way, I found out that I had comments blocked, so you can now write comments. Sorry about that. I'm not always as smart as I think I am.
See you next time.
