Work Sucks...I Know

The good ol' Huffington Post has released a new series of statistics that reveal what our biggest pet peeves at work are.

One of my biggest (maybe THE biggest) is people that have loud/disruptive discussions right next to my desk even when they have their own private office right down the hall. Go in your big, spacious office, shut the door, and have a high time! Why the hell do you need to carry on three feet from my head? This isn't that complicated!

...but I digress...

Worldwide, here are the top 5 things we hate most at the workplace:
1) Co-workers that don't take responsibility for their actions
2) People who complain all the time
3) Dirty common areas
4) Meetings that start late or run long
5) People who don't respond to e-mails (Should include people who don't return calls/texts)

In America, the leading pet peeve was people that steal others' food from the fridge. Pig. It even had my name on it.

So what do YOU hate the most about the workplace? Leave your comments below!

Sociopathic Social Media

Some interesting new stats have been released by Nielsen that says that 89% of individuals use social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, etc) to "find and maintain old friendships". Yeah...that's "stalking" to you and me.

Another 51% of people use social media as a means to bitch and moan. (Note: What I do may sometimes seem like complaining, but it's actually "raising awareness". Because I said so.)

A mere 16% of of us use social media for the purpose of dating.

All that being said, feel free to friend me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter! Then you can stalk or complain about me to your heart's content! Just don't try to date me. I'm not really a "lower 1/4th" kind of guy...

Super Jesus Bros.

24-year-old Maryland resident Brittany Wampler recently bought a classic Nintendo system on e-bay for $31. But something about this system made it extremely unique...

Jesus was in her Nintendo.

According to Brittany, it isn't a stain or glue residue left over from a sticker. It's actually infused into the plastic.

I guess that pretty much settles it for Sony and Microsoft...turns out God is a Nintendo man.

Give me your take and leave a comment below...

Foo Fighters Vids

I told you I'd post it...and then I forgot.

Better late than never.

Foo Fighters "Walk" Music Video



And here is the "Hot Buns" video that promotes the Foo Fighters' tour. This was also the video that originally outraged the crazies over at Westboro Baptist

Last of all, we have the footage from the Foo Fighters' counter-protest of Westboro Baptist in Kansas City

Death to Capitalism

You might have been heard me talking about it on the air for a while now, but the first bit of hard evidence came down the line over the weekend.

The guys from Five Finger Death Punch have officially announced a title for their new album and also set a tentative timetable for its release. American Capitalist is scheduled for release in the "first week of September", which would be September 6th. But again...this date is only tentative and is subject to change.

However, we DO have a guaranteed release date for the album's first single "Under and Over It", which will debut on July 27th.

Five Finger Death Punch have done nothing but step up their game since they came on the scene in 2007. And being that they are one of my favorite bands, I cannot wait for this new single!

As always, keep it here for updates on this and other New Rock announcements.

Being Human

It's been a hectic year for the guys in 12 Stones.

It all started back in July of 2010 when the band released their EP The Only Easy Day Was Yesterday. This came as a surprise since they had spent months writing and recording for a full-length album. But instead of a new album, we only got an EP. Strange, indeed.

A short time later, in August, 12 Stones announced that they had parted ways with Wind-Up Records, their label of nine years, leading to speculation that Wind-Up had forced the band into a limited release. Though they took the high road and kept things formal, one can't help but notice the tinge of bitterness in their official statement on the matter:

"We felt it was time for a change. We have a vision for this band that we feel is best pursued elsewhere."

Following their split from Wind-Up, 12 Stones expressed their intention to give their fans the full-length album that they had promised. They hit the studio with producer Skidd Mills almost instantly and got right to work.

In February of this year, 12 Stones made an announcement on their website that they had signed a brand new record deal with the EMG label. Even more good news.

And now, just a few days ago, 12 Stones posted a press release on their facebook where they officially announced their new album, Only Human, which will be released on August 23, 2011!

This is awesome, as I wasn't really satisfied with only an EP's worth of new stuff from 12 Stones. Now our thirst will be quenched with a full album! 12 Stones have really shown through this experience that they can overcome difficulties together as a band, and I'm sure their fans are grateful for that. I know I am.

As always, keep it here for updates on this and other New Rock announcements.
