I was watching 24 hours of Jackass a while ago, and they played this annoying song that got stuck in my head. Fast forward to a few days ago and I get forwarded a full length skateboarding video and one of the skaters has the very same song in the background of their skateboarding part and my brain spins out of control!
Let me introduce myself again, my name is Sir Jorge. I call myself Sir Jorge when I’m online, but my real name is just plain Jorge. I started a record label when I was 16 years old, and I know way too much about music. Seriously, I am a human encyclopedia of musical prowess and if you try to test me, you’re going to be shamed because I’m like an idiot savant when it comes to a few things. Those things of course being horror film, music, comic books, video games, the bible, and of course professional wrestling. At least in the scope that I can talk about it like I am reading wikipedia.
Why is there music on this blog again?
Well, let me bring you up to speed…stay with me now.
I ended my music career by crashing my mom’s car and nearly dying in a terrible, unfortunate accident. I then moved to music journalism. I wrote for several magazines and even garnered a paycheck at times. I was then fired from several magazines for writing reviews that were not coherent with their views. Then I moved to Seattle, Wa. I started writing for a zine here, and I had managed to get on the payroll of a nationally distributed full blown monthly magazine! I was on the top of my game for a short while, then I wrote a bad review on an emo band that was on the cover. The editor called me, yelled at me (the editor from New York), and then told me to fix it. I refused. I got fired.
I then wandered around the internet looking at poorly written articles by idiots just like me. So I started a music blog. That thing was awesome, it was getting noticed left and right and people actually started to enjoy what I was talking about.
Then something bad happened.
It’s hard to pinpoint where it happened, but it did. The site crashed in terms of visitors. I went from 400 visitors a day to 50 within a week, then I went on vacation and didn’t post for a few days and the hits just stopped. I now get about 10 hits on that site a day and I’m tired of running like a mouse in a wheel. (Or is it a hamster? Who cares) So I have just allowed that site to sit there. If someone finds it, fine.
So what now? That’s blog #9 that I’ve shut down right? I’ve failed so much at blogging that you would think I was desperate for a second job. (In some ways I am) So I now am going to merge the content that was reserved for that blog and place it here, and hopefully you movie fans can make room for my music fans out there that like me trashing bands and being honest about everything. Along the way, you might learn something as I try to connect the dots in essay format on some of musics dumbest moves.
Oh and expect some changes to my movie reviews too, as I’m tired of fast reviews and want to express more thought in these things. For those of you that are not sure what to expect email me at sirjorge AT gmail dot com and I’ll email you the link to my horror movie site and you can read my epic reviews and thought provoking questions at that blog…which has garnered critical praise and pr 4/10 for no apparent reason.
But back to my story. I was watching this skateboarding video and this song came on and I was floored again. So after much searching and much mental anguish, I found out that the song that has been stuck in my head this whole time was from one of my favorite bands: Supergrass! Yep, the song “Alright” by Supergrass features catchy lyrics and an offbeat video…here’s the lyrics for “Alright” By Supergrass followed by the official music video…cause I want you to have it stuck in your head now too.
We are young, we run green,
Keep our teeth, nice and clean,
See our friends, see the sights, feel alright,
We wake up, we go out, smoke a fag,
Put it out, see our friends,
See the sights, feel alright,
Are we like you?
I can’t be sure,
Of the scene, as she turns,
We are strange in our worlds,
But we are young, we get by,
Can’t go mad, ain’t got time,
Sleep around, if we like,
But we’re alright,
Got some cash, bought some wheels,
Took it out, ‘cross the fields,
Lost control, hit a wall,
But we’re alright,
Are we like you,
I can’t be sure,
Of the scene, as she turns,
We are strange in our worlds,
But we are young, we run green,
Keep our teeth, nice and clean,
See our friends, see the sights, feel alright,
Are we like you,
I can’t be sure,
Of the scene, as she turns,
We are strange in our world,
But we are young, we run green,
Keep our teeth, nice and clean,
See our friends, see the sights, feel alright.
We Are Young We Are Free Song

So now what? Well you can just wait for my next post about some random movie, you can check out my list of 1,000 books to read, or you can purchase Supergrass’s album “I Should Coco” from amazon.com or download Supergrass’s mp3 album “I Should Coco” from amazonmp3.com.
