I got this from Funnyordie.com, which is a great site. This is a regular feature from the brilliant Zack Galifianakis. This beats the usual way to promote a movie.
Sully Erna has been busy lately! With The Oracle debuting at #1 on the Billboard chart (the 3rd straight time for Godsmack) and a tour that is sure to follow… What is going on with the rumored solo album that he recorded?
You may have noticed that if you buy the deluxe edition of The Oracle on iTunes… You get a bonus track! It’s a song called The Departed featuring Sully and Lisa Guyer.
Check it out below!
This quote was posted on the official Sully Erna facebook page on January 27, 2010. “ SOLO RECORD is also coming this year. Looking like an August release for the entire CD.
This record is by far the best music i’ve ever written, and i really look forward to all of you hearing it. And i really look forward to introducing Lisa Guyer (my singer on this record) to all of you. Girls, you are gonna love her voice. AMAZING!!!
I put everything i know into this record and it is truly a timeless, beautiful piece of art. Completely opposite of what Godsmack does, but nevertheless, very beautiful record. So when you’re not in the mood to crank up and drive 100 mph, this is the record you’re going to want to put on when you need to just zone out and enjoy some wine and candles. Have fun with it!!
I will keep you all posted as we get closer to releasing it. But what i know for now is, the first single titled:
“THE DEPARTED” will be coming out in March attached to a movie called “SOLOMON KANE”.
And then the follow up single titled “SINNER’S PRAYER” will be attached to the new Sylvester Stallone movie called, “THE EXPENDIBLES”. I believe that single should hit radio by July with the release of the movie and the entire solo record in August.”
Keep listening to WAAF for more details!
Everyone knows by now, how much I love and support our troops! Well, I’m not alone! There are many people out there that do, but few have taken their level of commitment to the level that John Gonsalves has. He started Homes For Our Troops as a way to give back to those, who have sacrificed so much in Iraq & Afghanistan. Since then, HFOT has built 60 homes and has another 40 under construction. John is doing amazing work for the people who deserve it most, our troops!
I caught up with John today while he was visiting Walter Reed Army Medical Center. You have to listen to this interview!
John Gonsalves from Homes For Our Troops
I cannot believe how many troops are coming back double, triple and quadruple amputees. He also hooked me up with SSG Robert Canine, who is ready to leave Walter Reed and move into his new home with his family, after recovering from his injuries that he suffered in Iraq. SSG Canine’s new home was custom built to make his life easier, since losing BOTH legs in battle.
Don’t forget the 7th annual HFOT Bike Ride is on Sunday, 8/1/2010!
Come ride with me!!!

This is the Blob Fish. It leaves in extremely deep waters and rarely get’s laid. It spends much of it’s life floating around waiting for food to pass in front of it. Much like Hippies….or Phish fans…get it? PHISH fans? Anyway, you can’t fully enjoy this picture of The Blob Fish without listening to the accompanying audio.

President Obama’s appearance on the view today spurs an interesting question: do Americans want a President who is somewhat removed from the populace and affords the respect that has long gone with the title of Leader of The Free World, or do they want an “everyman” kind of character who they can as easily imagine chatting with at the local dump as they can envision him leading a world climate summit?
Presidents have, for the most part, limited their public appearances to those they are certain are not ”beneath the office”. They will do anything when running…county fairs, ice cream shops, pancake breakfasts, Girls Gone Wild shoots….but once they are the office holder, they have been respectful about who they associate with. That’s why Barack Obama’s choice to visit the daytime cackle-fest that is “The View” is a curious one.
Known more for makeovers, Susan Lucci interviews, and stupid comments from washed up comedians like Whoopi Goldberg, the show is, apparently, the go-to destination for housewives stranded at home and looking for a waxing tip. They aren’t known for a hard hitting, confrontational style of journalism and hence the question about whether any President belongs there. It is, by many, considered to be taking up airwaves space. Kind of like leaving the car running so it’s warm when prime time arrives. Do you think that’s the place the Leader of the Free World belongs?
Of course, the latest Rasmusson poll says more people believe the President should NOT have been elected than believe he should have, for the first time in his 20 months in office. That means….saddle up the horses and get the “soccer moms” on board for the midterm elections. Every 1st term President is already running for his second the day after the election, and Barack Obama is no different. But he ought to reach the people on a serious media outlet that is gonna to ask tough and fair questions and will maintain the dignity of the office. Not to mention that most of these guys want to give the impression that there are more important things to do than sit for an hour while Barbara Walters asks breathlessly if you have ever watched her marvelous program.
“Coming up next, the President of the United States, but first….what to do when annoying female facial hair is bothering your fellow employees.” Hey, Mr. President….come on down…you’re the next contestant on the Price Is Right.
I can’t believe this is actually happening. I can’t believe a state in this Union is dedicating taxpayer dollars to investigating this. Apparently kids are getting “high” off bin-aural audio tones that sound like an angry test tone. The term for this silliness is called “iDosing”. I guess everything consumed that is digital has to have the “i” in front of it.(kudos tom the Apple Marketing Team) These tones are supposed to give the user the same high as pot, cocaine, heroine, or any other narcotic the Government wants to use to scare the sheep. I’ve included a news report below fro Oklahoma, the same state that is ordering it’s Drug Enforcement Agency to investigate this. I guess that whole Crystal-Meth problem has been cleared up. Like the woman says in the video, there is “no research” that proves any of the things they or the companies selling this audio claim. It sounds like somebody with some influence who never pays attention to their kid found him twitching with headphones on and a bandanna over his eyes and freaked out. I’m guessing the kid was already on something he stole from his parents medicine or liquor cabinet and the parents didn’t want their precious snowflake to be labeled a drug addict.
Of course, I had to research it myself. After many attempts to open my mind to this new epidemic, my conclusion is:
This is bullshit.
I agree that audio, especially music can provoke certain emotions in an individual. I agree that music can be used to sooth the savage drunk at closing time. I agree that when I hear auto-tune vocals it make me want to punch that particular artist. I also agree that any ACDC album + a case of beer= PARTY. But this stuff being like pot or cocaine? These people have obviously never been high on either. I once achieved at least 10 minutes of quality R.E.M. sleep at a Jack Johnson concert. Should he be considered a depressant(in my opinion, yes…again, I am not a Doctor)
My uneducated opinion is these kids are so desperate to escape their bad situation that they will themselves to believe they are getting high. Have I ever felt so happy or in love while listening to a song that it has elevated my mood and made me feel invincible? Well, yeah. Have I ever smoked so much pot that I forgot I ordered a pizza and thought the delivery guy was the cops? Unfortunately, yes. But I can tell you this. It doesn’t feel the same.
The great thing about music is everyone hears it differently. We all have filters that are created by life experiences, taste, opinions, situations, and memories. For example: The song you were listening to when you lost your virginity, or during that crazy weekend on the Cape, or during a car accident.
The yahoos looking to get law enforcement involved should also look into banning Glade because kids are huffing that to get high more than iDosing. Also, the companies marketing this as something that will take you to a higher level chemically should cut the crap.
Here’s your chance to experiment. After you’re done, get ready for the smack:
Is this a way for Apple to penetrate youthful minds. Load up subliminal messages to buy iProducts? Is it a marketing scheme for the new “Tron” movie? Are the North Koreans trying to damage impressionable eardrums? Not Likely.
