comments, thoughts? like maybe this is beating a dead horse but i'm always super interested in what you guys have to say (also i have a paper i need to write but i don't want to). do you think gabe/cobra starship is misogynistic?

my official stance: relax people. an artist is only as good as his final product, i.e., the music. and this video simply wasn't that great. screaming rape at the screen isn't doing anyone favors. all the ridiculous symbolism aside (that was very poorly contrived from a few people who saw what they wanted to see), this video isn't inspiring anyone to go out and rape/be raped. and yeah i know it's not that simple but if you're gonna jump down gabe's throat for this then you might as well attack every single artist with misogynistic lyrics.

remember tipper gore? trying to ban rap and heavy metal music because of their lyrics? YEAH I REMEMBER THAT TOO. because of her we have the 'parental advisory' sticker on the front of cds with questionable content. hot mess has that sticker. i absolutely do not agree with that fucking sticker on ANY cd because music again is all about the final product. it's not entirely about the lyrics. and we have a first amendment right to say whatever the fuck we want. you don't like it, you don't have to listen to it. going after cobra starship for this video is one of the most pointless things you can do and i'm sure almost everyone here agrees that censorship is a stupid idea. well what do you think the outcome of this would be. that's right. censorship.

i like this band too much (and music in general) to let that kind of thing happen. but that's just my stance. go!

aw this is so cute. from ryland's twitter. who would you want to see touring with cobra starship in the future?

OFF TOPIX

this is an ot-post because i'm doing a paper i don't want to do. if it is successful we can start doing these more often. how are you tonight? tell me what your favorite kind of potato chip is because i might go groshry shopping later and i am craving potato chips but i'm not sure what kind

and a car alarm outside has been going off for 15 minutes now, life is wonderful

WATCH IT HERE.

try and find me, i'm one of the grey shadowy figures stomping behind all the action. so what do you guys think? it reminds me a lot of the gggb video but i guess that's what it's supposed to be. guilty pleasure will always be my favorite video but this is definitely up there!

EDIT: if there's anyone who can rip the video for our non-american members, it would be much appreciated!

EDIT 2: click here for HD. it's way clearer than the above link!

skip to 1:30 for cobra, its just a bunch of clips from the halloween show mostly
