In Case You Missed It: Limp Bizkit Cancels US Tour Citing Need to See More “Fans Going Bananas” http://www.neurotrust.com/2010/05/in-case-you-missed-it-limp-bizkit-cancels-us-tour-citing-need-to-see-more-fans-going-bananas/ http://www.neurotrust.com/2010/05/in-case-you-missed-it-limp-bizkit-cancels-us-tour-citing-need-to-see-more-fans-going-bananas/#comments Tue, 25 May 2010 17:24:04 +0000 admin http://www.neurotrust.com/?p=94 Limp Bizkit

If you’re the guy that’s been waiting for the Limp Bizkit comeback tour (I’m talking to you, New Jersey), you’re gonna have to wait a little longer.  Fred Durst stated the reason for the cancellations was because they were booked into the wrong types of venues.  ”Basically, Limp is not an amphitheater band,” he said. “We like to see less seats in front of the stage and more floor filled with fans going bananas.  It’s just more fun for all of us that way. Some bands are meant to be seen mainly sitting down, but definitely NOT Limp Bizkit.”

Of course, others are speculating that the band may have had trouble filling the larger spaces, and the move is more economically minded.  But, to suggest such a thing, would be bananas.

Hiatus over… http://www.neurotrust.com/2010/05/hiatus-over/ http://www.neurotrust.com/2010/05/hiatus-over/#comments Tue, 25 May 2010 16:41:06 +0000 admin http://www.neurotrust.com/?p=91 Hey, I’m back.

Quick note:  Since LaLa was purchased by Apple, who in turn, decided to shutter the cloud music service, I can no longer provide my Music Mondays in the same fashion as before.  So until I find a new way to share, I’ve got to put a hold on Music Mondays.  Hopefully, not for very long. :)  In the meantime, I will be uploading various other music-type things from around the interwebs that I find amusing…   Enjoy!

-Jim

Mullet-ness http://www.neurotrust.com/2010/04/mullet-ness/ http://www.neurotrust.com/2010/04/mullet-ness/#comments Tue, 27 Apr 2010 03:11:38 +0000 admin http://www.neurotrust.com/?p=79 Patrick Kane, Chicago Blackhawk Superstar, can not grow a playoff beard.  It is not that he’s unwilling, he was just not blessed with that particular gene…  I can relate.

So, instead of trying to grow a sorry Spencer Pratt flesh colored monstrosity, Kane did what any starry eyed hockey player should do: grew a play-off mulet instead.  Here’s a video showcasing said mullet.  Hats off to the details on the “business end” of the cut, keepin’ it high and tight.  :)

Music Monday- The Airborne Toxic Event http://www.neurotrust.com/2010/04/music-monday-the-airborne-toxic-event/ http://www.neurotrust.com/2010/04/music-monday-the-airborne-toxic-event/#comments Mon, 26 Apr 2010 15:19:38 +0000 admin http://www.neurotrust.com/?p=73 Today’s Music Monday entry is an album I’ve been listening to for about 18 months…  It’s solid all the way through, and worth a listen.  Lately, it’s gotten some commercial play, which is a little jarring, but nice.  Give it a shot.
