Eagle eyed and regular readers would note that I change my 'Rants' and 'Raves' side column all the time.
For the first time through I will actually explain what has inspired these 'Rants' and 'Raves'.
Rant- Blogger Upload Limits: self explanatory this one. I am annoyed I can't upload my last couple Raged Death Combos to my Apocryphic Videos blog. It's a sucky development for sure.
Rave- Last Season of Lost... so good!: Another easy one, the last season of Lost on ABC is really captivating and really is a reward for watching the show for as long as the fans have. From twists galore to shocking deaths and returns, this season has it all. It's going to be a real dark day when I realize I have no new Lost to look forward too.
Rant- No Promotion Chance for Zaffy: This one is really driving me nutty. I have been the same rank with Zaffy for a minute and for some strange reason Xbox Live is refusing to match me up with people remotely close to my rank. I mean 1st Dan and Mentors? 9th Kyuu's? Really?!? I want my top 10 spot damnit.
Rave- Ninja Gaiden II: Easily one of the blood filled games I have played EVER and it's soo good. The demo is action packed and filled with tons of stuff to do and people to slice. LOVE the new 'obliteration' technique and new Ninpo (Wind Blades... sick!). Kinda sad it didn't end with a boss encounter but eh, more to look forward to when I actually buy the game.
Rant- New season of Heroes, not announced yet: It's crazy, Lost is ending and my other favorite genre show hasn't had a official announcement if it's coming back. I know Heroes is getting flack from everyone and there dog but the show has it's die hard fans (me and my family are in that category) and it's wrong how they are holding out. Renew the show already! I mean, Sylar being a good guy, the world knowing about super powered people? It can't end like that?
Rave- This Sunday is my second anniversary and I am really looking forward to spending time with my lovely wife. Hopefully we can get away.
Well that's that.

Magnetic Shockwave
So as promised, I am back and regular visitors would noticed April's music player is FINALLY up. Yeah it took me a minute to find some good music I wanted to share and nothing out there really has rocked my socks lately. I mean after 'Echo' by Leona Lewis and 'The Fame Monster' by Lady Gaga, I haven't heard or seen anything that has really impressed me. So I went old skool.
I dug into my collection and decided to go with two artists I really like:
First off is Gorillaz
The wackiest cartoon band is back with 'Plastic Beach' but I am still rocking their old tunes. One of my favorites is 'Rockit' with it's uber disturbing video. The demon in the video is also the same demon in the image and one of the reasons why I picked it. I mean how can you not love 'Rockit' with it's 'reject false icons' message and 'blah blah blah' hook (not the Ke$ha song).
Next is Foxy Brown
The incredible lame-ness of newest female rap star Nicki Minaj reminds me of why I miss Foxy Brown and how I wish she was making more music. I know she is still around but I was really feeling her during her 'Broken Silence' days and I was kinda salty her follow up album 'Ill Na Na 2: The Fever" was shelved. Thankfully the internet scores and I was able to find leaked tracks from it including the song 'Magnetic'. I love the old skool Neptune sound and this is a prime example. Add Foxy spitting some hot stuff like "you know your the best when rap dudes got at you". Damn girl is something else.
So 2... not 3 songs. I am feeling different.

P.S. LOL random spammers... I guess spamming in a foreign language means you don't understand me when I say I moderate my comments now. Well keep trying, I'll keep rejecting them.

House keeping
So regular vistors to my blog would notice some little changes. The most obvious is the new color scheme. I decided to go with a 'cool' color scheme, especially after the 'Man on Fire' inspired one I had.
This blog isn't as busy as it used to be mainly because I am focusing alot of my blogging into my Apocryphic Videos blog, especially now I actually have stuff to showcase. I will try to come back and drop some words now and again through.
There will be some more minor changes and yep some new music will be added.
Keep it locked, Rants & Raves isn't going nowhere.

Forever Young
Sorry it took me a minute to come back to my 'main' blog but my other blog (shameless plug www.apocryphicvideos.blogspot.com) has really be taking up most of my time.
One of the sure things 'Rants & Raves' would blog about was the three songs I was feeling for the new month. I was liking them so much that I would want to share them with y'all. However as of late, I haven't really heard anything that blows me away and stuff that I should like, like Ke$ha feat 3OH3!'s 'Blah Blah' isn't really rocking my socks.
The only real song I would want to share would be 'Young Forever' by Jay Z feat Mr. Hudson and that's a shame because I usually have a couple good songs to chat about.
Ah well, maybe the week will change and I'll find some new music (or old music) I would like to share.
Until then...
