It is with a heavy heart that I begin my first post in almost a month. If you haven't heard by now, Yao Ming is out for the rest of the season with a stress fracture in his left foot. This blog isn't about whether or not the Rockets will make the playoffs this year (because they will), it is about the city of Houston having its heart ripped out and getting slapped in the face all at once. What did we do to deserve this? Seriously. No Houston sports team can catch a break. Houston has always been a city where the sports teams are the epitome of the saying "A day late and a dollar short." We've seen it with the Oilers, Astros and, more recently, the Rockets. Its just too much for one fan to bear. I won't go as far as saying the Rockets season is over, but I just don't know how we can overcome this devastating blow. Its truly a sad day in Houston.
On a lighter note, here's a video by Waking the Cadaver titled "Blood Splattered Satisfaction." [Note: this video is pretty disturbing.]
Did you watch it? Pretty fucked up huh? When you finally get past the absurdity of the music (since when did squealing like a pig become acceptable in music?) your mind starts to wonder about the video. Not so much the actions that take place in the video (even though that's pretty fucked up, too) but about the people who find joy in watching things like this. I don't have the strongest stomach when it comes to gore and blood, but what we have here isn't about the blood and guts. Its about glorifying the people who actually do this. As gross as it is may seem, this is what something like this would probably look like if it were to happen in real life. And I think people realize that and take some kind of sick pleasure in it.
The people who enjoy Waking the Cadaver are probably the same people who would enjoy doing this:
Now that looked awesome.
Here's a couple of videos of music with slightly less pig-squealing:
Ratatat-Gettysburg
Fastball-The Way (More like way 1998.)
