Jack White admits that he once aspired to be a Catholic priest. Y'know, apart from the whole celibacy thing, being a priest does sound kinda badass. You get to be in this top secret brotherhood thingy that murders people! Er wait, that was just that terrible Tom Hanks movie. Anyway, obviously Jack didn't become a priest. He eventually discovered Meg White's awe-inspiring breasts and plus, that last button on his frock was really hard to do up.
It always was the hardest button to button.
Reaching #1 on the album charts = a good thing. Breaking a record to get to the #1 spot = also a good thing. Breaking the record for lowest number of albums sold to hit #1 = a really, really shitty thing. That was the dubious honour awarded to Cake this week. Their latest album, Showroom of Compassion, is number one on on the Billboard album charts with only 44,000 copies sold. Turns out the music industry can't keep cranking out shiny crap every year (ie albums with 1 or 2 good songs and then 8-10 filler songs) and expect the purchasing masses to not tune out. Do you still buy CDs/vinyl or do you just download singles since you pretty much know the rest of the record will blow?
Even this cake could have sold more copies. And this cake sucks (sorry George).
I know a lot of people who are fans of The Matrix. I know a few people who are fans of The Matrix Reloaded. I know one person who is a fan of The Matrix Revolutions, and he was declared a vegetable in 1997. Rumours broke out this week that the Wachowski brothers were going to shoot another few hundred hours' worth of footage of Keanu Reeves staring blankly into the camera and some bad guys shooting holes in the ceiling, or at least enough tape for 2 more installments of the Matrix series. Fortunately for all of us, it turns out that it was just a rumour.
What are you talking about? I love The Matrix Revolutions!
