LYRICS: "I don't feel a single thing/ Have the pills done too much?/ Haven't caught up with my friends in weeks/ And now we're outta touch/ I've been drivin' in L.A./ And the world, it feels too big/ Like a floating ball that's bound to break/ Snap my psyche like a twig// And I just wanna see/ If you feel the same as me

• [CHORUS] 

  

  This is God's own racist country, the Deep South

  Do you ever get a little bit tired of life?/ Like you're not really happy, but you don't wanna die/ Like you're hangin' by a thread, but you gotta survive/ 'Cause you gotta survive/ Like your body's in the room, but you're not really there/ Like you have empathy inside, but you don't really care/ Like you're fresh outta love, but it's been in the air/ Am I past repair?

Big Pharma's chemical sorcery?

A little bit tired of trying to care when I don't/ A little bit tired of quick repairs to cope/ A little bit tired of sinkin', there's water in my boat/ I'm barely breathin', tryna stay afloat/ So I got these quick repairs to cope/ Guess I'm just broken and broke

[VERSE 2] The prescription's on its way/ With a name I can't pronounce/ And the dose I gotta take/ Boy, I wish that I could count/ 'Cause I just wanna see/ If this could make me happy// [CHORUS]

A little bit tired of trying to care when I don't/ A little bit tired of quick repairs to cope/ A little bit tired of sinkin', there's water in my boat/ I'm barely breathin', tryna stay afloat/ So I got these quick repairs to cope

Ozzy dead at 76, NK death metal, misogyny

Ozzy Osbourne, lead singer of original British dark metal band Black Sabbath, as gone Back to the Beginning. He is dead of Parkinson's, which is a way of saying severe drug abuse, addiction, alcoholism, and the toll this took on his robust body. Born in 1948 in Birmingham, England, he returned recently to play a final farewell concert. (There were going to be return shows, as he admitted on stage, but it was to be his last). A man fond of Hoovering drugs, he became a doddering fool, only regaining some clarity on stage in the middle of song, otherwise seeming like a Joe Biden standing there, surprised to look that a crowd had gathered to chant his name and call for old hit songs to be played: Crazy Train, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Paranoid...

What is "death metal"?

(Occulturation) "Death metal": What does it mean?

Death metal is an extreme subgenre of heavy metal music. It typically employs heavily distorted and low-tuned guitars, played with techniques such as

• palm muting and tremolo picking
• deep growling vocals
• aggressive, powerful drumming, featuring double kick and blast beat techniques
• minor keys or atonality
• abrupt tempo, key, and time signature changes
• chromatic chord progressions [3].

The lyrical themes of death metal may include slasher [horror] film-style violence [4], political conflict, religion, nature, philosophy, true crime, and science fiction [5, 1, 6]. Building from the musical structure of thrash metal and early black metal, death metal emerged during the mid-1980s [7]. More Death metal

Mental decline of molested Justin Bieber

The brutal mental decline of Justin Bieber

That MGK's got a lot of talent, huh?

(Tell Us More) April 23, 2025: Justin Bieber was broken by the music industry as a teen coming to Hollywood and Hollywood coming on to him, but despite now having a beautiful wife and kid, he hasn't escaped his demons -- or what he sold in exchange for fame and riches.

Now, the Justin Bieber, the envy of millions, looks like a very rough version of SNL's Pete Davidson, of Kim Kardashian fame, rubbing it in Kanye West's face, who bounced right back with a KK of his own making in Bianca Censori (who has had many fashion transformations before and after Kanye). The Beebs has a beautiful wife and beautiful memories of Selena Gomez, but his downhill slide is hard to watch, even with schadenfreude. What a screw up. But that's what happens with ACES and SA, molestation and drugs abuse as a maladaptive way to cope.

Are all Catholics "Forgiven," Alanis?

Alanis "Forgiven" (w/ Foo Fighter Taylor Hawkins, The Prince's Trust Masters of Music 1996

It's good to be Catholic, but just for Mardi Gras

"You know how us Catholic girls can be," states Catholic Canadian cool hippie gal Alanis Morrissette, who became famous in the U.S. when she released Jagged Little Pill.

The CD had hit after hit, particularly "You Oughta Know." "Ironic" is dumb. "Head Over Feet" is so heartfelt. The seventh single should have been "Forgiven." It was a long run with millions of copies sold, making it double diamond (rather than mere gold or platinum).

Her ironic sass and probing irreverence are cool

How this song didn't get promoted, we'll never know. It's like P!nk, who's not that good but heck a popular. She had one pretty good song no one seemed to think that much of about her dysfunctional family.

"We all had our reasons to be there. We all had a thing or two to learn," Morrissette and Ballard explain. "My brothers, they never went blind for what they did, but I may as well have. In the name of the Father, the Skeptic, and the Son, I had one more stupid question.... If I jump in this fountain, will I be forgiven?"

Black culture's biggest fraud

Kanye supposedly hates Jews, and Drake is a Jew

(Kahmal) June 4, 2024: Drake (born Mr. Aubrey Graham, called "Drizzy" on the cold streets of Canada) is the biggest fraud of our generation. He's someone who's in a culture he doesn't understand and has no respect for. He's let his insecurities of feeling out of touch with the rap community turn him into something pretty damn bad.

Kid builds Directed Energy Weapon 'death ray'

Make this kid a US citizen, hire him, and send
him to space to work for our new Space Force

The young scientist’s twist on a legendary ancient weapon might just re-write history. Ancient Greece mathematician Archimedes believed a "death ray" was plausible, so a middle school student from Canada put the concept to the test.

Brenden Sener of Ontario won multiple medals for his miniature version of the Archimedes Death Ray, crafted with light and mirrors.

No archaeological evidence [shown to us] proves the death ray was ever [built and] employed, but Sener believes it very well could have been.

It might be surprising to learn that then-12-year-old Brenden Sener of London, Ontario, Canada, was enthralled by Ancient Greek concepts posited by mathematician Archimedes.

But it probably makes more sense when we find out what exactly those concepts were. Archimedes wrote about harnessing the Sun’s energy to create a death ray. And Sener wanted in. More:

System of a Down singer writes book

Book Soup & KPFK Present: Serj Tankian signing Down with the System: A Memoir (of Sorts)

Serj Tankian gets personal about his band System of a Down

(Q with Tom Power) May 14, 2024: System of a Down’s Serj Tankian grew up hearing stories about his family members who died during the Armenian genocide [or what the young Ottoman Turks call a “misunderstanding”], many years before he was born.

In his new memoir Down With the System, he shares his family’s story and looks back on his career through the lens of his Armenian heritage. Tankian joins Tom Power to talk about the origins of his activism, how System of a Down (SOAD) got on the radio (KROQ FM), and whether or not you’ll ever hear any NEW music from the band.

BAT (Bad Acid Trip) performs "Beef Moo" to prove they have chops

• It is notable that we never knew we needed Armenian nu-metal, but it may not just be Serj's genius behind the mic or guitarist Daron coming up with all sorts of great song ideas because there's another very similar band, with frantic starts and stops and screaming. They never made it big. They're called Bad Acid Trip. If it were just about having an Armenian member or raging about genocide and racism in and around Glendale and Little Armenia in Los Angeles (which has a massive Armenian population to rival Armenia and an enclave next to Hollywood that includes Cher and the Kardashians), that was needed, BAT should be as big as batsh*t is to growing strong garden plants. Guano is great fertilizer. Where are all the SOAD copycat bands like Korn engendered? BAT is signed to Tankian's label Serjical Strike Records.

ABOUT: Q with Canadian Tom Power is a daily conversation with the artists, writers, actors, and musicians who define this cultural moment in time. The conversation is informal, wide-ranging, playful, and allows artists to explore their art and the contexts that have shaped them through their career. Visit cbc.ca/Q for more.

Down with the System: A Memoir (of Sorts)

Do SOAD fans read? The hardcover is out today (May 14, 2024) by author, poet, lead singer, KPFK radio host Serj Tankian. It has 5 out of 5 stars with just 2 ratings. It is a #1 New Release in Rock Music.

This is an exhilarating, thoughtful, and beautifully written memoir by musician, songwriter, and lead singer-lyricist of Grammy award-winning metal band Serj Tankian.

Tankian will be the first to admit that his band, System Of A Down, was as “unlikely a chart-topper as had ever existed in modern music history: a band of Armenian-Americans playing a practically unclassifiable clash of wildly aggressive metal riffs, unconventional tempo-twisting rhythms, and Armenian folk melodies, with me alternately growling, screaming, and crooning lyrics that could pivot from avant-garde silliness to raging socio-political rants in the space of a single line.”

After all, as Tankian concedes, “it’s not easy listening.” Even so, there’s no doubt that System’s music had struck a chord with millions of listeners across the world ever since they burst onto the scene in the mid-1990s.

With nearly 40 million albums sold, three albums topping the Billboard charts, and a devoted legion of fans, the band dominated the alt-rock and nu-metal scenes just as the world hurtled into a new millennium, redefining the very idea of what rockstars

• could and couldn’t talk about,
• could and couldn’t do,
• could and couldn’t represent.

With no CD to promote, SOAD still headlines

In Down With the System, he presents readers with a memoir that is far more than just a rock 'n' roll fable. It’s an immigrant's tale, it’s an activist’s awakening, and it’s a spiritual journey from darkness toward light. And all of this comes down to the fact that he himself has had the chance to live an extraordinary life — thanks to a combination of luck, circumstance, struggle, talent, and spiritual awakening.

Born to Armenian parents in Beirut, Lebanon, Tankian grew up hearing bombs drop outside his childhood home during the country’s [Israel-induced] civil war, before moving to Los Angeles at the age of 7.

As a young man, he is immersed in the SoCal community of “Little Armenia,” learning more and more about the brutal genocide faced by his ancestors [under the Ottoman Empire that is now Turkey], while helping his parents adapt to the constraints and contradictions of the American Dream.

Then, during a pivotal drive home from an LSAT class, he decides to turn away from a promising future in business and law to make music instead — a decision that leads him to touring five continents as the lead singer of a hugely popular rock band, hitting Number #1 on the Billboard album charts the morning of 9/11, then having the hit single from the same album BANNED from radio two days later.

In the years that follow, his uniquely singular story continues, as he evades glass bottles hurled at a cancelled show by angry Slayer fans, teams up with fellow KPFK Free Speech Radio host Tom Morello (articulate guitarist for Rage Against the Machine) to push social justice issues on unsuspecting Heshers and metalheads, argues with LAPD officers over the best way to quell rioting fans in Hollywood [we were there and there was no "riot," just a big crowd], and defines new sounds and singing tactics with famous Slayer producer Rick Rubin.

Braiding together Tankian’s thought-provoking insight with heartfelt prose, Down With the System retraces his remarkable and unlikely journey. It explores what it has taught him — about music, about art, about activism, and about himself.

It’s an unforgettable ride that will leave readers breathless — an absolute delight for new and old fans alike. Down with the System: A Memoir (of Sorts)
