Media Consumes Me

Author Archives | Al Kaspar

I am an Al... but I'm far from the typical. I'm a creature of genetics, constantly evolving. I am what Darwin didn't expect to survive, and my species is a rare one. I thrive on music. If I don't hear music of some sort daily, I'm pretty sure I would die. However, this theory has not been tested, and nor do I want to tempt the possibility. I took this passion and created a monster. A monster that has now grown and become sentient. Every now and then it even hugs me and calls me "Dad" or "Friend"... ok... perhaps that's just my imagination. This monster is my band. My band? We're The DnA Project. Initially a top secret project birthed deep in the bowels of TDP Labs and Studio, the moster escaped. It is now rampaging across the Poconos of Pennsylvania, spreading uncontrollable lust to anyone that hears the songs. The DnA Project even has its own webpage, www.myspace.com/dnamusicproject . I beg you to be careful though, you may never be the same (though I highly encourage you to come to shows, buy products and merch and hang with the band online /endcheapplug). My purpose here is to aid you. Aid you in your complete media consumption. While I may occasionally dabble in news, tv, or games, music is my mistress. I will pick albums on a weekly basis. They could be from famous and established bands, to the obscure and unknown. All will be reviewed in the same approach. Why do I like it? What makes it cool/different? Would I give it to my girlfriend tied to a puppy's neck for her birthday? Things like that. I will also be conducting artist interviews. When you're a lead singer like me, you tend to worm, network, and whore your way into getting on to tours with stars, or just finding ways to talk to them. The interviews will be the same as the albums, it could be someone everyone knows, or someone who I feel deserves to be heard. I hope you enjoy my scribbles. I enjoy when you scrob them to your friends... and remember, Mediaconsumesme.com for ALL of your media satiation, satisfaction, and fufillment. /endwebgasm.

It’s Armagoddamutherf*&^)geddon!

I really don’t think there was anyone more skeptical than I when it came to the first glance at a trailer for Zombieland. ANOTHER zombie-apocalypse survival movie? When Zombieland was released, I was certain that, at best, it would be a shitty attempt at recreating Shaun of the Dead. However, at the insistence of a coworker [...]
