Green Day Smite Paramore.. Barely..

 VS 

PARAMORE          GREEN DAY

As two of my favourite bands went head to head in the final of MTV's 'Musical March Madness', I decided not to get involved. I decided if I voted one way I'd be disappointed if my side didn't win. So I stayed neutral!

Those that know me well know that my allegiance usually rests with Paramore. They've been going through a rough time though, what with losing the Farro brothers (who posted this awfully blunt blog following their resignation from the band) and continuing on as a trio regardless. I still feel that because both the Farro's and Paramore's remaining members were biased in their accounts of what happened, the truth became a clouded mess that made me go "WTF Just Happened?". I still love their music, but I'm not sure where I stand with them as a band any more. They'll have to prove themselves to me again.

As for with Green Day, I was never an overly obsessed fan like some of my friends are, but I do love them a lot! They've done more with three power chords than most of today's modern punk rock/pop punk bands combined could ever dream of. Still haven't seen them live though, much to my disappointment and sadness! D=

Getting to the point, I didn't vote but I eagerly anticipated the result of this meaningless but coveted title! Considering the aforementioned turmoil surrounded Paramore recently, and taking into account Green Day's broad and ever growing loyal fan base, it was no surprise that in the end, Green Day won the title.

What was surprising, however, is that they scraped victory by a mere 2,500 (less, even). With over 120,000 votes cast in total, this means it was nail-bitingly close!

The original MTV article can be found here.

Am I happy Green Day won? Yeah, they deserve it. Hopefully by next year Paramore will have cleared the air, replaced the Farro's, released a new album, and then I will feel justified in leading a rally of Parawhore's to help Paramore take the title in 2012.

Music related lolcat. Still working on my own, but until I make one that puts me in stitches of laughter, I won't start uploading them. ^_^

Au revoir,

John.

April Fools!

Google always seems to go all out for April Fools day. This year was no exception. 


"Are you an incredibly fast Google searcher? Like, so fast that you can do 20 searches before your mom does 1?"


If so, you may be eligible for Google's job position as an 'Autocompleter':

They also announced that, as of April 4th, they would be changing to Comic Sans font, as people apparently preferred it. They were rolling it out as a Google Chrome Extension under the title "Comic Sans for Everyone". The best part, it actually works! Funny stuff! - http://www.google.com/landing/csfe/


Google China also claimed to have invented a teleportation machine! =P


Google's main prank of the year though, inspired by the Xbox Kinect:

As for other well known websites, Youtube celebrated their '100th year anniversary" by uploading some videos of the popular viral videos of the time, and I think it was "Hulu" that went retro, displaying their site in a format that would've been popular in 1996, and committing all the horrible HTML formatting horrors of the time! 


Seeing what the big corporations come up with is one of my favourite aspects of April Fools Day, apart from pulling pranks on your friends and teachers, of course! ^_^

Very fitting lolcat, I've been feeling 'bleh' all day..

Au revoir,

John.
