MAC SABBATH Takes Tribute Band To New Level

Welcome to Today’s FYB Post featuring the Novelty Act MAC SABBATH a Macdonald’s Parody Themed Black Sabbath Tribute Band. Now many of People are Apt to assume Musical Novelty Acts are a Niche Market. When People think about a Niche Musical Acts They think that “Oh so that’s some Weird ass bullshit Band an insanely small number of People actually for some reason find it Entertaining.”, and A Lot of the Time that is the Case but Not Always Mind You. There have been or Currently are Some World Famous Novelty Bands/Acts Starting with the Godfather Weird Al Yankovic then there’s KISS, Gwar, Daft Punk, Slipknot, King Diamond, Alice Cooper, Dead Mouse, Ghost, and Lordi for Example. While MAC SABBTH is No Where that Level of Fame and Fortune They have the Talent and Creativity to do so, Yet being Rich and Famous is Not always the End Goal and Damn Well may not be as Far as MAC SABBATH is Concerned.

First off here’s all the Usual Bullshit. MAC SABBATH was formed in 2014 and is Based Out of Los Angeles, California. MAC SABBATH has Almost Exclusively Toured within the California for almost Their Entire Career. The Band’s MacDonald’s Parody was Aesthetically inspired by Macdonald’s Characters from the Fictional MacDonaldland. The Cast of Characters (such as Mayor McCheese, Hamburger, Ronald MacDonald, and More) were used by the Fast Food Chain for Advertising Campaigns back in the Day when MacDonald’s Catered to Children. I mean let’s fucking face it since MacDonald’s switched Their Target Demographic from Kids to Adults every MacDonald’s looks like a fucking Generic Drab Coffee House bathed in Black and Beige, and Now back to the Post at Hand. The Band Debuted Online with Their Demo Recording “Chicken For The Slaves” which is the Parody of the Song “Children Of The Grave” on March 26, 2014 referring to Their Musial Style as “Drive Thru Metal”.

The Band makes Extreme Attempt to Retain Totally Anonymity behind Their Characters much like the Band Ghost for Example (though Unfortunately some Asshole discovered and Leaked the Lead Singer of Ghost’s Name like a fucktard). The Band Also Refuses to do Any Interviews or Press opting to Use Their Manager Mike Odd (Who is also the Lead Singer of L.A. Hard Rock Band Rosemary’s Goat) as the Band’s Official Spokesperson. Odd for His part continues to Spread/Back MAC SABBATH’s assorted Outlandish Claims pertaining to the Band’s Origin. One such claim made by the Lead Singer Ronald Osbourne is that He is Comes from a Enchanted Forrest in the 1970s where Hamburgers grow on Trees, and that He traveled through the Time-Space Continuum to War the General Public of the Government’s Control in the Food Market. It all started for Odd with a Random Phone Call back in 2013 from a Complete Stranger inviting Odd to meet Them  at a Fast Food Restaurant in the Area. When Odd showed up He was met by Ronald Osbourne in Full Costume and in Character. One of Odd’s Claims is that Since that Initial Meeting has NEVER seen the Band out of Character or Costume which is Serious Dedication in My fucking Opinion. Anyway after a Lengthy Conversation Ronald managed to Convince Odd to become the Band’s Manager based on Odd’s Reputation with Odd’s Band Rosemary’s Billygoat (what the fuck that means exactly beats Me).

In the Early Days of MAC SABBATH exclusively played Secret Shows in Various Restaurant Basements. As I mentioned earlier MAC SABBATH played Extensively and Exclusively in California that was Until June of 2015. In June of 2015 MAC SABBATH were invited to Play the DOWNLOAD Festival in Leicestershire, England along with Several Additional Shows while Across the Pond. The Band dubbed the Shows in England as “British Royals With Cheese Tour” since a Royal With Cheese is the Common name for MacDonald’s Quarter Pounder Hamburger in Countries that unlike America use the Metric System (Anyone Who has seen the Movie Pulp Fiction knows what I’m talking about). MAC SABBATH’s Live Concerts have been described as Multimedia Shows with Video, Various Theatrics, Audience Participation, Sing-a-Longs, Features Fast Food Themed Props consisting of Inflatable Cheeseburgers, Oversized Ketchup and Mustard, BBQ Grill, A Frying Pan, A Demonic Red Eyed Clown Statue, and a Visual Overload of Radiant Primary Colors.

FOOTNOTE: For those Who may be Wondering Yes Ozzy is Well Aware of the Band as His Son Jack Booked Them to Play during the Filming of the Infamous Reality T.V. Show Series The Osbourne’s. Ozzy’s Official Opinion on MAC SABBATH is that He is Mainly Impressed by the “Clownery” and said the Band was “Fun” and “Funny as Fuck”, and even went as Far as to add on the Subject of Fame “If you can’t stand (being Parodied) Don’t fucking do it.”

Why You Never Became A Dancer

Welcome to Today’s FYB Post featuring the Official Video for the Song Why You Never Became A Dancer by the British Band named Whitehouse. So Who the fuck are/was Whitehouse and Why should Anyone Care? Valid Questions for Sure so here is the Backstory of Whitehouse.

Whitehouse was formed in England in 1980 and the Group is Largely credited for Founding and Pioneering the Power Electronics Genre of Music. The Band is Also Credited with Developing the Genre of Music Known as Noisecore or as it was Originally Know as Noise Music (Yeah Pretty fucking Original), and the Band is Credited for Developing Noisecore in America, England, and Japan. Power Electronics is a Offshoot of Noisecore that typically consists of Static, Screeching Feedback, Analogue Synthesizers making Sub-Base Pulses or High Frequency Squealing Sounds. Some but Not All Noisecore Songs have “Lyrics” that are Heavily Distorted, Screamed, or Guttural Vocalizations. Meanwhile Noisecore for those Unfamiliar is a Niche Genre of Music Characterized by the Expressive use of Noise within a Musical Context.  Noisecore tends to Challenge the Distinction between Musical and Non-Musical Sound. The Band Emerged when Early Industrial Acts that had Heavily Influenced Power Electronics/ Noisecore like THROBBING GRISTLE were backing Away from Extreme Noise. Meanwhile Whitehouse wanted to take Their Fascination with Early Industrial Groups’ Sound and Extreme Subject Matter even Further.

The Band’s Name is Meant as a Mock Tribute to Mary Whitehouse who was a British Morality Campaigner and a Hard-Line Conservative Activist. She Campaigned against Social Liberalism and the Mainstream British Media (Both of Which She Accused of Encouraging a More Permissive Society. That’s Not all as the Band’s Name a Reference to a British Porn Magazine. The Founding Member and Only Sole Constant in the Band William Bennett was Quoted as Saying “I Often Fantasized about creating a Sound that could Bludgeon an Audience into Submission.” , and that His Goal was to Produce “The Most Extreme Music Ever Recorded.”Whitehouse referred to Their Sound as “Extreme Electronic Music” that was Known for its Controversial and Obscene Lyrics and Imagery. The Band’s Lyrics/Imagery Portrayed:

  • Sadistic Sex
  • Misogyny
  • Serial Murder
  • Eating Disorders
  • Child Abuse
  • Extreme Violence in All Forms
  • Neo-Nazi Fetishism

Bennett released His First Album Under the Whitehouse Name in 1980 called Birthdeath Experience that was Released on Bennett’s Own Come Organization Label, and was Immediately followed by the Album Total Sex. In 1981 Bennett released the Album Erector that was Pressed on Red Vinyl, Packaged in a Shiny Black Packaging, and included a Photocopied Picture of a Penis. The Group Started Playing Live Shows in 1982 with Members William Bennett (Whitehouse), Andrew McKenzie (of the Band THE HAFLER TRIO), Steven Stapleton from the Band NURSE WITH WOUND, and Philip Best Who Joined in 1982 After Running away from Home at the Age of 14, and has been an On again/ Off Again Member ever since. Whitehouse was Inactive for the second half of the 1980’s and Re-emerged in 1990 wit the Album “Thank Your Lucky Stars”. During the 1990’s Whitehouse had Stable Line up in Bennett, Best, and Writer Peter Sotos (Sotos Left the Group in 2002). Bennett Decided to Terminate Whitehouse in 2008 to Focus on His Cut Hands Project which was its Music that was Heavily Inspired by African and Haitian Voodoo Music, being Very Rhythmic and Percussion Based.

This Video Cursed Us

Welcome to Today’s FYB Post featuring THIS VIDEO CURSED US by London Based Writer, Director, Visual Artist, and Computer Animator Ben Wheele in a Tribute to Another One of His Videos Called His HENRY EATS (Which We have Posted Here on FYB Previously).

So Who the Fuck is the Deal with Ben Wheele?! Wheele Graduated from The Royal Collage of Art with a Masters in Animation  in 2011, and His Films have been Screened at Festivals Internationally, Including Annecy, Pictoplasma, London Intl.Animation Festival, Rotterdam Film Festival and Stuttgart ITFS. Wheele’s work has also been Exhibited at The Sunday Painter Gallery (London), Gazell.io Digital Art Space, and Broadcast on Adult Swim and Channel 4 (UK). He is also the Founder of ‘Studio Ponk’ and Currently Lectures in 3D Animation and Games at Middlesex University.

       

Description:

“Henry peered underneath the regular videos. He discovered a deep recess beneath all of the channels, a vast chasm. Inside was a network of connected antechambers.

It was very dark here. The air felt wet. He pressed save and downloaded the video. Then saved a bookmark, just to be safe – he wanted to find this place again. His generator didn’t have much diesel left. In fact, he hadn’t filled it for months. How was he still receiving power out here?

He looked out of the window. The woods offered no reply.”

Synopsis: First of All the Video is of the Main Character Henry from the Previous “Henry Eats” Video. Henry is sitting in the Pitch Black on His Computer where He apparently checking out a YouTube like Platform where He stumbles across a Compilation of Reaction Videos Titled “THIS VIDEO CURSED US”. The Video “THIS VIDEO CURSED US” is in Fact a Collection of Reaction Videos of YouTubers Reacting to the Video “Henry Eats”.

“THIS VIDEO CURSED US” appears to be a Commentary on Certain Click Bait Content that Runs Rampant on Video Platforms like YouTube for Example. The Title is a Play on the Over Hyped Click Bait Video Genre “FOUND ON THE DARK WEB!!” Sensationalism where People Over Act in Shock and Awe as They react to Some Mysterious Unexplained New Horror from the Depraved Depths of the Dark Web. Also People have a Tendency when They Don’t Understand Something or Think its Not Normal then They Immediately Label it “CURSED!!” Out of Nothing but Pure fucking Ignorance (and Over Hyped Titles Aimed at Nothing but Getting Views).

So the Main Question is What is the Point of the Video if there Even is Actually One to Begin with. It seems to be Either a Stark Anti-Click Bait Commentary calling Out Reaction Videos. I mean let’s fucking Face it Reaction Videos are fucking Pure Garbage They’re Brainless Bullshit where YouTubers Over Act for the Camera with Grossly Exaggerated Reactions such as Shock, Awe, Disgust, or Fear. I personally think it’s a Commentary by Wheele pertaining to People attempting to Understand,  Interpret, and Speculate on the Intent, Purpose, or Meaning of His Now Notorious Video “Henry Eats” which is Pretty Sucking Surreally Abstract in Nature. Bottom-line is the Simplistic Fact is that Artists in General Enjoy Hearing about How Others Perceive Their Work.

Monday Terror

So it’s fucking MONDAY again! Monday the day we have to end our 48 hours of freedom and return to the grind of daily fucking life. Worse we have to fucking get through 5 fucking days of WORK, BILLS, AND BULLSHIT just to get another fucking pathetic 48 hours to ourselves. That’s why everyone on the fucking planet hates the hell out of Mondays! Mondays represent the beginning of another cycle of suck that reminds us of all the shit in our lives that sucks ass.

Les didn’t have a plan for todays post so I decided to step in since this Monday was an EXCEPTIONALLY SHITTY one. In a tribute to all fucking things Monday I selected the following post for today. It’s fucking loud, abrasive, in your fucking face, absurd as fuck, insanity inducing borderline sensory overload so like I said it’s just like fucking Mondays.

See you whenever I see you,
