Good News for People Who Love Bad Musicians.

A friend of mine has decided to switch her major from Professional Writing and Editing to Anthropology recently. It's an official abandon ship from a journalistic standpoint, and writers worldwide are reconsidering their place in this world. In light of this news, I have decided to change my major from English to Voodoo Economics.

Or, Space Economics.

Or, Underwater Welding.

I haven't quite decided yet.

What's that? I already graduated? You can live through anything if magic made it?

Well, shit.


In Planet Pluto News,

Impending: Reviews of concerts (maybe).

Depending: On my patience and time allocation.

In the meantime, good news:

These people won the good fight and lowered gas prices for the rest of us.

The crumbling economy is being reassembled puzzle-stylee.

Circuit City files for bankruptcy. And, in 2009, they'll celebrate by not honoring your giftcards. Wait, why is this good news? Okay, and one more link.

'Meh' is officially a word! Others feel great excitement. Me, well, I'm indifferent. Humph.

Plus! Yesterday seemed to mark the day of the first 2009 release leaks. Dent May & His Magnificent Ukulele and Ben Kweller leaked. Oh, it's only a matter of time before that great new Animal Collective album surfaces. Until then, oh, nevermind. I was going to link you to Grizzly Bear's blog where they posted "Brothersport", but the Web Sheriff shot 'em (forced them to remove the pirated file). No worries, Sheriff, it's NOT leaked here. Move along.

Finally, everybody's been celebrating the Obama victory lately. Here at Planet Pluto, I plan to celebrate in the most American way possible, by presenting you with a 2005 clip of Scott Stapp performing the "Star Spangled Banner" at the most American of events- a tractor pull or something. Something = some Nascar Ford 400.



Scott Stapp's version of the Star Spangled BANGER is the best eva.!>*# Oh wowie wow wow. He sounded like Triple H running into a steamroller of vocal range. This is what I've become after watching this historic American moment: wrestling references. But wait... what if, what if, what if, what if I...

Okay, and somehow, a hand farting sounds better than Scott Stapp:



And, this, my American friends, just sounds awesome:



Thank you, and tune in next time to the Planet Pluto! We'll be showing you how to turn your unused Scott Stapp notes into a beautiful ballad!

Question of the Day: Who is the better singer- Scott Stapp or Lil Wayne?

At least we know which one plays a meaner guitar. Wait, do we?
