Isengard.Gov: Blazing New Link Trails

A forward from the President in Exile- you know the guy with the science book prize from some left wing media cabal- links both Fox News and Entertainment Weekly.

You know I love weird band names. “Hornets Attack Victor Mature” is still my favorite. So I enjoyed this short post and the related Fox News interview, which is heavily bleeped.

Fucked Up are quickly becoming the most popular "fuck" band, at least of the current crop of "fuck" bands: Fuck Buttons, the Fucking Wrath, Holy Fuck!, Total Fucking Destruction, Starfucker, Jackie-O Motherfucker, Fuck The Facts, the Fucking Champs (do they count as "current"?), etc. Why? The Chemistry of Common Life is a really good album -- one of '08s best -- but the Torontonians have also embraced the old-fashioned publicity stunt and/or album tie-in. Can't blame them, life is rough in the lightbulb factory, especially in this economy. As far as crossover, take a look at Pink Eyes/Damian Abraham's recent appearance on Fox News' Red Eye. Greg Gutfeld loves the band (and their antics). In fact, he says of Abraham, "If musical genius were a satellite dish, I'd screw him on my roof."

Also, the following is a funny interview. I know you don’t usually link to Entertainment Weekly, but it really is:

One of your new songs, ''Not Fair,'' is about a boyfriend who isn't very good in bed. Are you saying some men are not just naturally great at sex?
That's what I'm saying. I've witnessed it.

If I may add, I am disappointed that my latest addition to the language, the interjection "Fuckbeans!" has not been picked up as a band name.
