5. the nuclear fear mongering on behalf of the media I understand that shit is scary right now. I also understand that the majority of the earth's population doesn't know SHIT about nuclear power. What I don't understand is why certain media outlets feel it necessary to not only blow things out of proportion, but to directly contradict their published materials from one article to the next. If you understand nuclear power, and how it could relieve us of our dependence on fossil fuels and foreign sources of oil, you might actually understand the amount of safeguards in place to protect the earth when these power plants are being constructed. Not only that, but look at who we're talking about in regards to building shit. The Japanese are the best in so many engineering categories it's not...

I have two friends I like to call my Besties. They are my left and my right nut. I have two other, quasi-besties friendsies that are besties with each other, their names are Sean Daley aka Slug of hip hop group Atmosphere, and Joel Frieders, which also happens to be the names of my lefty and righty. I have always dreamt about the amazing conversations my balls must have, and since I don't speak testicalian I will never know the wonders of their unique culture. However, I do have a website and I know the two people who are named after my testos and I figured why not have them chat it up so I can live vicariously through my balls through them. And with that was born The Weekly Taint which is actually more like the every ten day taint, but hey my balls lead very busy lives, they can just...

We @ SYFFAL love great cover songs way too much. There's something comforting about hearing a familiar song reworked by a new artist. It's like going to a McDonalds in a new state. Taking the bun off reveals deviations from the norm. There are quaint little differences to the experience but it still holds on to the key aspects that made you fall in love with the original in the first place. Del and Joel take the buns off their 2010 burgers in a totally hetero way to reveal the best cover songs of the year... and Fuck yeah it was a good year. Del LeFevre's Top 25 Best Cover Songs of 2010 Note: This started off as the Top Ten Best Cover Songs list. I have commitment issues. 25.

A little over a week ago I ventured out to my 2nd show in as many weeks. This time I was heading out to see Los Angeles hip hop collective Odd Future also known as OFWGKTA which is short for Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All. If you aren't familiar with the act you must have been living under a rock for the past few months, or as they like to point out, old. Odd Future has been getting an excessive level of much deserved buzz due to the finely crafted albums, nine in the last year, which they release for free on the Odd Future tumblr site. Additionally they have released self created videos that are unlike anything that has come out of the genre in, well in like forever. The collective carries an unhinged energy that harkens back to the days of Suicidal Tendencies self titled...

5. Some people take parenting way too fucking seriously. When I was a kid, I honestly don't remember many other parents. Like I remember that one dad was a drunk and we couldn't talk sports or politics without him throwing a High Life can at our heads. I remember one dad was a minister and we had to watch our language. One mom was a basketcase and we could pretty much get anything out of her food/treat/toy-wise without too much trouble or scheming. But I don't remember seeing this many asshole parents when I was walking amongst those potentially in the category to be "parented by assholes". Now that I am a parent, I see a lot of traits in other parents that make me want to strangle them or stab their necks with a syringe full of Drain-o. The most notable of these qualities is the parents...
