http://www.mattvanstone.com "Slogans are for suckers." Tue, 11 Nov 2008 16:27:24 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Sylosis is without a doubt the best metal band of 2008. I challenge anyone to show me a band with better riffs, drums, vocals, and song composition. I can name a handful of bands that excel in one or two of these areas, but Sylosis is the full package. The ... http://www.mattvanstone.com/2008/11/sylosis-transcendence/ Here's another video from the same band I posted last week. This is the second song from their latest album. The opening riff in this song is pretty wicked as well as is the pre-chorus riff. Again, this song has the perfect mix of singing and screaming. http://www.mattvanstone.com/2008/09/all-that-remains-all-alone/ With Ben Stiller movies its always a hit and miss right? Zoolander was a hit, Along Came Polly was a miss as was basically everything since Zoolander. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the best Stiller movie since Zoolander is Tropic Thunder. I can't ... http://www.mattvanstone.com/2008/09/best-scene-from-tropic-thunder/ T and I have been eating a lot of fruit smoothies lately. I found a recipe on Men's Health and made it my own. If you have a blender you can make this, its really easy. Here is the ingredients list: 6 ice cubes (or double it if your tray makes ... http://www.mattvanstone.com/2008/09/super-easy-fruit-smoothie/ I just got into this band a few weeks ago, but I'm hooked. They have some pretty sweet riffs and the vocalist has hit the sweet spot with his mix between singing and screaming. http://www.mattvanstone.com/2008/09/all-that-remains-this-calling/ I really expected to be gripped by this episode, but I wasn't. I can see how this episode is building the story, but not much happened that made me anxious to see the next piece. Vince once again renewed his dedication to the business and E seems to be distancing ... http://www.mattvanstone.com/2008/09/entourage-season-4-episode-2/ I can't say I have been paying too much attention to the American election, but I stumbled upon this video of Matt Damon today. As we all know this election is going to make history no matter who wins. We will either see America's first black President or America's first ... http://www.mattvanstone.com/2008/09/matt-damon-rips-sarah-palin/ It has always been pretty obvious to me that Vince (Adrian Grenier) can grow some mad facial hair, but I never really realized the true potential until I watched last night's episode of Entourage. He looked so badass with his beard and aviators in Mexico. I now have some serious ... http://www.mattvanstone.com/2008/09/adrian-grenier-can-grow-one-badass-beard/ I have always liked how there is a gap between seasons of Entourage. It's like even though we haven't been able to watch them, their lives have continued to go on. They haven't been stuck in some time warp for 6 (or 12 if you include the writers strike) months, ... http://www.mattvanstone.com/2008/09/entourage-season-5-opener/ Well hot on the tails of the Dexter leak, the first two episodes of Californication have also been leaked. I think its pretty obvious that we have an intentional leak here. Showtime would be stupid not to, these shows are awesome and its going to do nothing but drive more ... http://www.mattvanstone.com/2008/09/first-two-episodes-of-californication-season-2-leaked/
