Steel Sponge

After finally giving myself the time to watch NC's Last Airbender review I've decided that I never want to hear Doug Walker doing an acapella cover of A:TLA's credits theme again.

This month's cheese is gouda-feta

While my top/bottom 10 countdown for the Alternative Songs chart for 2019 will be on hold till after I finish my my top 10 hit songs for 2019 and as well as my decade-end music lists. In the meantime, I'm going to unveil my top/bottom 10 for every other year of the 2010s for the chart that I didn't cover, from 2010-2017. The same rules from my alternative charts countdowns apply to these lists where every song that charted during the respective tracking period and repeats count towards my rankings.

My bottom 10 for 2010:

10. "Issues" - Escape the Fate
9. "Oildale (Leave Me Alone)" - Korn
8. "Dignity" - New Politics
7. "Yeah Yeah Yeah" - New Politics
6. "Cryin' Like a Bitch!" - Godsmack
5. "Skinny Little Bitch" - Hole
4. "Blood on My Hands" - The Used
3. "Lights Out" - Breaking Benjamin
2. "Porn Star Dancing" - My Darkest Days featuring Zakk Wylde
1. "Spaceship" - Puddle of Mudd

My top 10 for 2010:

10. "1901" - Phoenix
9. "Undisclosed Desires" - Muse
8. "Ignorance" - Paramore
7. "Fuck You" - Cee Lo Green
6. "Giving Up the Gun" - Vampire Weekend

4. "Use Somebody" - Kings of Leon
3. "Stylo" - Gorillaz featuring Mos Def and Bobby Womack

Will publish these lists once a week until I've gotten up to 2017. While I can't do commentary for every single one of the songs, I will accept any feedback or questions regarding my choices.

yes, it is i, the best christmas special

2019: A year where most of the blink-182 alumni would release several projects inside and outside of the band's name, and yet the best thing to come from anyone associated with blink this year to me is from former member Tom DeLonge:

Before my next avatar-related takeover starts during this year's Snowcember Ball, I'd like to know what some of you guys think is the best Christmas special (besides "Christmas Who?")

In this installment of Steel makes you feel very old, the cartoon character, Felix the Cat, just recently became 100 years old.

End results.

I'm planning on another avatar-related takeover this month, but for the time being, I'm returning to an old favorite.

a ub40 throwback

tony hawk it later homie

Solemn reminder to all that the 1994 animated film The Swan Princess has spawned eight direct-to-video sequels. That's one more film than the also apparent Alpha & Omega film series while the SP film series is still going as we speak.

Say, whatever happened to Close Enough?
