Your Band Fail
August 30, 2009
5) YOUR BAND FAIL PLANTING ROSE
'Plant a seed, plant a flower, plant a rose / You can plant any one of those / Keep planting to find out which one grows / It's a secret no one knows'
I put it to you Hanson, that, if I were to plant a rose seed, I would, in some senses, be planting all three of those, thereby rendering you 'any one of those' contention inaccurate.
Although the question of 'is a rose seed also a rose?' creates a parallel to the Ship of Theseus paradox < http://en.wikipedia.org/wi ki/Ship_of_Theseus >, so you get points for eliciting philosophical inquiry.
Three stars.
4) YOUR BAND FAIL INTRANSITIVE VERB
'If I lay here / If I just lay here / Would you lie with me and just forget the world?'
lay = transitive = 'to place something down'
lie = intransitive = 'to be placed' or 'to lie'
SO IT SHOULD BE 'IF I LIE HERE' BITCHES
MINUS ZERO STARS for ruining Izzy Steven's Denny Guy's death with your poor verb choices.

3) YOUR BAND FAIL IMPLICATION AND DEDUCTION
Despite his linguistic braggadocio on Get Me Gone , Fort Minor's Mike Shinoda misuses the word ‘infer'.
‘Because these people love to put a twist to your words / To infer that you said something fucking absurd / Oh, did I lose you at infer? / Not used to hearing a verse that uses over first grade vocabulary words?'
imply = something is being suggested without being explicitly stated
infer = someone is trying to arrive at a conclusion based on evidence
Did you mean ‘imply' Mike? The magazines imply that you talk crap, you infer from that implication that you talk crap, everybody wins.
Did I lose you at ZERO STARS
2) YOUR BAND FAIL POSSESSIVE APOSTROPHE
The Razors Edge by AC/DC is also notable in showing that the band does not know how to use apostrophes to show possession.
One star.
1) YOUR BAND FAIL QUESTION MARK
Amanda ‘Dresden Dolls' Palmer's album title Who Killed Amanda Palmer shows that she has not mastered the art of using punctuation to end an interrogative sentence.
Two stars.

Absurdist Calendar
August 30, 2009
Some people liked Things I Should Not Have Done and wanted a calendar of it. I made this to depress them instead.
