Sorry for the lack of posting recently everyone not reading this. Our internet has given out, bit the big one. It's up in the great big router in the sky. Anyways I went down to the loop today to hit y'all up with a super Saturday's Monday Memes, and what better topic for the special saturday edition than Days of the Week!
1: Monday
Not really a meme. Just one of the best songs of the 80s. And who says that Ian Curtis' death was ALL bad. Any ways.
2: Tuesday
I have never asked this question. Ever. I've also never voted.
3: Wensday
Ohhhhh, I thought you meant the OTHER kind of Race Wars. Oooops. I'll tell the druid to wait in the van.
4: Thursday
He already said it.
5: Friday
Just watch him chew.
6: Saturday
thisamericancrisis.blogspot.com
Meta.
7: Sunday
Another non meme just amazing song. Also I had no idea Macaulay was in this shit.
Tune in Monday for (hopefully) Kevin Patrick Gannon.
Stay easy America.

Monday Meme's #5 - Which State Are You From?
So the theme with these Monday Meme's go along with our guest, Shawn from the Netherfriends being on the show today. The Netherfriends are a pretty huge deal, played Pitchfork, and even embarked on a mission to write one song in each state of This American Crisis.
They've got some shows coming up in Chicago, and you'll go if you know what's good for you. And as always you might see dan or DJ LIONFACE there and who knows, get lucky?
The WhistlerTue, Nov 16 Chicago, Illinois
Saki Records in-store with DarlingSat, Nov 20 Chicago
Schubas w/Bear HandsFri, Nov 26 Chicago, Illinois
All these videos show how stupid American's can get.
#5 - Iowa?
#4 - Indiana....
#3 - Study guide for 4th grade Standardized Testing that needs good scores for funding
#2 - Colorado Springs (a different state than the rest of Colorado)
#1 - And now YOU SHOULD PROBABLY KILL YOURSELF #2
California/The UK
1. You should probably die because when you released this you said "this BP scare was two months ago" in August of 2010, shit started happening in late April. You're off.
2. I feel like you're actually just riding this "I'm going to make fun of Ke$ha kick everyone has been on recently.
3. A Beatles T-shirt and an emo haircut? How haven't you hung yourself yet, for real.
4. Your protest really did a bunch with a whopping 6,000 views. Did you know that uploading shit like this takes up bandwith and server space somewhere in the infrastructure of what runs what we call the "interwebz" and you only added to your carbon footprint sending this data into the ether. This post is also doing the same thing, but at least I know that.
5. I didn't realize British people gave a crap, this reason is actually anti-"YSPKYS" thanx 4 da support bro.

Monday MEME's #4 - Prose before Bros
That is indeed our Monday Meme topic this week, Prose before Bros, and yeah, Bros gets capitalized Bitches.
To keep up with being literary, bcuz dan & DJ LYIN/PHACE is rly lyterarie, DJlionphase, has brought you extensive posts with longwinded references to things you hopefully shouldn't get because he made half of them up or stole them from obscure one liners in obscure things to keep up with the whole "literary" theme. But right now, he's introducing the newest installment of the weekly Monday MEME's, "Y-I-S-A-C-U-S-P-J-K-Y" for short. Each week I'll pick a new subject to examine.
4. CREATIVE NON-FICTION (FEAT J. CARE-OH-WHACK)
This video proves I'm a literary nerd guy. Dinty W. Moore, who makes Brevity Mag, a really awesome flash-CNF (not CTF like Capture the Flag, that'd be cool though) online journal, that sorta made the whole "I'm online and legit" concept way more chill/acceptable/attainable through being a badass. I forgot how I stumbled on this, but the account that uploaded it is DintyWMoore that has 1 video, it is this one, it has 3,641 views from the time I post this, 4 almost 5 in the morning. That means only lit nerds have seen this.
3. META-PHYCSHUN (NOT POST-MODERN)
This guy performs with us under the name "DJ-Dub-Step-Dad".
2. TO "WRITE" LOVE ON HER ARMS vs. TO "WRITE OMG R U 4 SRS" ON HER ARMS
This is one of the more "I think this guy broke all seven deadly sins making this video"-video I've ever stumbled across on the internet. He made a parody video to the "Intro" for the real To Write Love on Her Arms 'organization'/'movement'/whatever they are. The original clocks at 5 min. long and is more of a joke, because it is not intended to be a joke. The guy who parodied it made a 7 min. vid that is more serious & hilarious to a creepily stalkerish exactness and perfection on a more professional caliber too. With my Degree in Internet Psychology Interpreter, I know that means he has way to much time on his hands to just 'whip this up' or anything. Personally, my favorite part is at the end when he makes who I assume is his mom read a fake suicide/redemption/diary entry/letter/I literally have no idea what the fuck it is piece of writing for a few minutes, making fun of To Write Love on Her Arms in such a beautiful way. Like flowers and ponies on a summer day... yeah.
This is the original video if you really don't believe how much more legitimate the parody is to the original.
2. CHEAP SHOTS AT DANZIG (and an unfair judgement later)
Again, funnier than the real one, right? I guess only to me. Probably because this is just another dark corner of the internet that shouldn't be shown to people, but that's what I'm here for at the end of the day right guys? Crisis!
This is Danzig talking about his comics. Apparently violence is "necessary" for some reason to make them good or something.
1. PROSE WINS V. BROS! ALSO DANZIG DECLARED GAY!!!
This is just here to be more literary and respectable, so I'm going to just say Prose wins by default because I have otherwise useless information about Holden Caulfield being more aggressive about Prose to his bro than Danzig was to his bro because I tried to re-read the Catcher in the Rye one summer and thirty pages in didn't care anymore, but I remembered this one scene for no reason at all.
In the Catcher in the Rye there's this scene, where Holden, who is pretending to know how to read sitting in his chair, getting off believing he is getting a short cut to being 'cultured' reading about 'African History' when his pimply ginger (all reference and connotation toward gingers from this point on it will be assumed they are pimply) roommate ALDI or whatever barges in he asks Holden what he's reading and Holden clearly says "Fuckin' Book".
When Danzig was asked what he was reading (both comic and book) he didn't say "Fuckin' Book" or "Fuckin' Comic" or "Fucking Comic Book 'bout my dick watchu think bitch?" giving us circumstancial evidence, that when compared to Holden Caulfield when disturbed reading, Holden is a snarkier fart. That is it for your internet trash heap of the day. Hopefully you learned something disturbing about yourself along the way!

5. New Weekly Kickoff-YOU'RE IN SUCH A CRISIS U SHOULD PROBABLY JUST KILL YRSLF: SPECIMEN #1
You should probably just kill yourself because:
1. Green Day covers on youtube are the most abundant and useless things ever (second to the My Chemical Romance cover contest, which I may cover at one point or another in the future) during the apocalypse when all of youtube and humanity (and you if you manage to live that long) is erased, that file and moment in time will be worth less than a bent tin can with radiation on it.
2. I can tell that a guitar is from Costco.
3. You didn't put your eyes in the camera, bad craftsmanship.
4. Maybe you just wanted to hide who you really were because you were born in 1993 taking into consideration your youtube name is AndEis93, and your name is Ande because your parents are brain fried hippies who named you after mountains the probably came from or lost their minds on and encourage this pop-punk crisis that you are going through.
5. All that practice of Green Day covers and putting them on the internet for 'critique' and 'support' and 'advertising' and 'putting yourself out there' and whatever the fuck, ACTUALLY DID PAY OFF when your band played a Green Day Cover of "Basket Case" (my personal fav TBH), but at the same time, there was a guy who actually ran away from the stage as you start, and then returns later with headphones... I'm pretty sure I don't need to scar you anymore then that did, but incase your eyes were closed because you were so 'in the zone' to Green Day, you should know to never do that again unless its 40 years from now and you still haven't died yet and nobody will get the reference, which thus sets the theme for PROSE BEFORE BROS: "BEING SO LITERARY THAT YOU REFERENCE THINGS YOU KNOW PEOPE NEVER HEARD OF TO BE A DOUCHE-BAG", but before we move on, there's more to the whole "kill yourself" post.
6. This is your equivalent of Pete Wentz putting his dick on Twitter and pretending that Gawker, Fox News, HipsterRunoff, and LATFH all deny to put his penis on their websites to promote your emo band. And your accent makes me feel you ARE Holden Caulfield, or that your dad is forcing you to be in this band to make money like Kings of Leon or something. Can't wait for Pitchfork to hype your new EP when it drops dude.
7. Emo is over, and it might help your music, y'know?

Monday Memes #3 - "Hair-itage"
This week dan will be covering the Memes. 3rd Person Y'all. Hope you all enjoyed the beautiful Mckenzie Toma on the show today. For being hung over and almost murdering the DJ who goes on before us, it was a lot of fun.
Anyways down to business.
#5. HAIR TALK!
How do I not start with this. It's a youtube channel devoted to hair. Though you may assume that this is going to be a fairly mundane and girly series of videos devoted to hair products, which is all true, I can't help but thinking back to the screaming lessons from last week.
I can see it now.
"DANI!!!! IT'S TIME FOR YOUR...HAIR EXTENSIONS!!!!"
#4. What does Spike Lee think about hair.
Only one way to find out...WESTSIDE STORY SONG FIGHT!
My guess is it's gonna be Nappy.
#3. Mama Mia
Mario's recent video "Braid my Hair" is actually not a conventional music video, like most people think, it's actually a miss posted video post he was trying to put on craigslist. If there are any stylists out there, I think he is still hiring.
#2. Do I know you?
Seriously is this the same kid who taught us how to pig squeal, his older brother, or his mentor? There has to be some connection here. Oh wait, maybe I'm just thinking of DJ LIONFACE in High School.
Anyways, read the comments. You'll see what I mean.
#1. MAN HAIR
Ok so that last kid was a little (gay). Want to take your hair advice from a burly manly man? Let's take a trip to the mountain.
Hope you enjoyed.
Stick around America.
Also check out McKenzie's myspace here for some more beautiful music, and your homework is to check out Alec's tunes here for next week.
You will be quizzed.

Hey dude, Tatatat
DJ LIONFACE and I are currently getting free tattoos. I'll post images later, I want to blog in the moment, you know, journalistic integrity and that shit.
Anyways don't have much to say. Listening to African Swim cause everything on Gorilla vs Bear has sucked, except that new Tapes & Tapes single, and one of the two Reading Rainbow tracks. I can't take this chillwave much longer.
Oh yeah, also, Where the fuck has Tapes & Tapes been? Last time any of us saw them was on that Human Giant bit where they were out shined by Ted Leo, Devendra Banhart, and Nick Kroll ALL AT ONCE. Anyways, here comes the second wave.
Pics and tracks to come.

We're Not in Love, I promise, we just run this blog.
This is DJ LionFace signing in here to bring you guys a new MP3/video/remix/something y'all probably heard about. dj dan thinks that he's on the blogosphere, but I am pretty sure he hasn't even heard of Crystal Castles, or the Cure, since he likes the Smiths, tape decks, and stupid shit like that that can break. Digital MP3's can't break, unless I can't figure out how to embed the video like he did on the post before, I don't really feel like asking him, thus making me look foolish, so whatever.
This is a new mix to a Crystal Castles song, and Robert Smith (totally riding off the "I was a freaky dude then, how freaky do you think I am now?" wave) added vocals, giving us "Not in Love" which after a few listens I can't tell if it is the greatest song of all time, worst song of all time, or if it just sounds like what the Cure wanted to be in the 1980s.
Really digging it the more I listen to it. Sorta feel like this was the song that Robert Smith was trying to write for his entire career.
"We are not in love" gotta love that line, right?
Wonder who he is singing to?
Wonder how much better this sounds to melodramatic high school kids walking home cranking it through their iPods tapping the rewind button each time the track gets close to ending. I know I did that shit with Cure songs.
Are there even still Cure kids around?
Did Robert Smith show Johnny Barrechord the 'wakkawakka' pedal on "How Soon is Now?"
Can Robert Smith even 'play' guitar?
If Pete Wentz <3's the Cure, what cookie cutter emo band <3's the Smiths?
Is Crystal Castles the best band of all time?
Are they going to save us?
Are these recycled lyrics from every Cure song of all time? Like that High School Creative Writing Project where you make a story out of song titles:
"When you coming home?"
"Its cold outside"
"When you coming home?"
"Its hot inside"
"I'm not in love" x a million
(in audible vocals about the temperature)
"We're not in love"
Did English Club DJ's who hung themselves to Smith's songs circa 1990 probably mix music that sounded exactly like this, but since everyone was rolling nobody even knew?

Monday Memes #2 - This Week's Theme: SCREAM!!!
Hey guys, DJ LIONFACE here again for your second internet trash Monday (done on Sunday nights) post so that we can hype up our radio show that I know you're all listening to!
CLICK THIS TO LISTEN TO OUR SHOW AT 4-6 WHEN WE'RE ON, CLICK LISTEN I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!!!
This weeks topic is inspired by a long time listener Jennifer D'Benetto (not D'Benneto, D'Bennetoo, D'Bennetttttooo, and certainly NEVER D'Ben for short) showing me the new Scream 4 trailer.
1.
Do u lyke scarie moovies?
I do!
2.
What about scarie boobies?
3.
Have you ever wanted to scream so loud in a scary movie? I scream like this guy does
My mom gets mad when I do this
4.
With all these cat MEME's out here, I'm glad this guy finally decided to show them whose boss.
FUCKING JUMP!!!
5.
Da Zen of Skreamz 2 Trailer
Now, incase you're all riled up and inspired to scream, you need to make sure you know all the health concerns: Some "screaming" vocalists have had problems with their throats, voices, vocal cords, and have even had major migraines from screaming when doing it incorrectly. Some vocalists of metalcore bands have had to stop screaming, or making music altogether, or even undergo surgery due to screaming in harmful ways that damage the vocal cords.

So, if you're scared of hurting your vocal chords, do not fear! There is a DVD out there to help you, just consider it the Tae Bao of hXc music.
Here is Melissa Cross calling out Dani Filth from the 'band' Cradle of Filth.

American Hero: 10-23-10
American Hero of the Week.
UNH Professor, Accomplished Author, and Bad Ass Mountain Man; Sam Southworth.
This American Crisis faithfuls may have tuned in for a brief interview with Sam on the October 18th show, featuring Sasha Feldman. You know, the guy who talked about the French resistance and all that great stuff.
Sam isn't just a military expert though, as we mentioned. When I was but a wee lad, Sam was a trip leader at the camp I got lost at most summers. For those of you who aren't sure what I mean by trip leader, I mean someone who is crazy enough to venture out into the wilderness with 10 or so 14 year olds in tow, and brave enough to hope he gets them all back alive.
When I was 14, Sam brought me and those 9 other 14 year olds up to a big ol' lake in Maine. After paddling around for several days, Sam could not help himself and decided to go off the beaten trail. We pulled up to the bank of some sort of ranger station, disembarked from our canoes, and set off up a logging trail into the mountains to find a secret lake, that supposedly was where Presidents and other important people would fly in to fish. I still don't think Sam actually knew where it was, just some sort of vague idea.
It took us most of the day but eventually we made it to Lake Parmachini, (or something like that) and I don't think I have ever experienced anything like it to this day. The lake was perfectly still, not even a ripple until we stepped in, and so clean that it was like looking across a sheet of glass. There was no sand on the banks, only rocks carried to this little alcove of the Appalachians by ancient glaciers.
See what I mean,
American Hero.
Sam regrets to inform me that he is blissfully non-present on the internet, but here is my favorite of his books, available for purchase on Amazon,
Great Raids
and a more cohesive bio,
Sam Southworth: The Legend
Keep your eyes peeled for the new Military Espionage book coming out soon, and good hunting.

Monday Memes #1 - This Week's Theme: Being "gay"
So us here at This American Crisis love Internet trash videos, well, mainly just DJ Lion Face, and by "mainly just DJ Lion Face" I mean "only DJ Lion Face" and by that I mean me.
Monday Isn't Boring is going to be a weekly list of five videos or links on the Internet that all dance around a certain theme for your boredom/procrastination to start the week off right!

This is a great video. The little kid is now a gay porn star, and is still acting, see if you can spot him in this next video.

Did you see him? No? How about in this other one he's in!

RUB IT OUT GUYS!

Now this, I don't even know what to say about this, but it is people like this, people that spent so much time trying to create that parody of the GaGa song that isn't even EQ'ed right into the video, un listenable and totally off whack. What are these costumes? Mother fucking rejects from a 1950s Godzilla villain monster open cast call? I hope so. And yes, I found this video typing in "gay stuff"
So this just about wraps up our Sunday isn't Boring Meme list. I'm going to send you guys off with a song, because at the end of the day, we're really just a music blog with an ambition to be the best and the greatest evar! Dreaming of getting blow jobs in the back rooms of the old TRL set being VJ's.
All this talk of VJ's makes me think, why are Suchin Pac and Sway, those old 1990s "serious" VJ's gone, same with Kurt Russell. Are they just given jobs where they are forced to look on the internet and not have a tumblr/facebook/social media presence? I digress.
Here is your last video, and even though you might not be gay, we can all get down on some love, so send this list to your favorite bro/gal/heterosexual life-mate/mom&dad and tell them how much you love them!

A Letter to Avey Tare
Dear Avey Tare,
We get it. You pulled an On Kawara. You are still alive. We know. Is this really an excuse to release your new crocodile songs even before you finished editing the garage band track.
We really get it. Panda Bear just had his huge release. Panda Bear just got the closest anyone from Animal Collective ever will at Pitchfork, and he got to see a mediocre Pavement show for free, if he even stuck around for it. We get it. You just wanted the option to leave early and make a statement about skipping Pavement.
Being humble is still a virtue according to my last supper tv dinner trays.
I'm going to tell you a story. One time my roommate had a really cute girl come over. My other roommate and I totally wanted to get into that shit. He spent the whole night trying to upstage roommate number 1 and look super cool and totally rad, and sooooooo into crocodiles, and just came off as a pretty weird dude. So who do you think slept with her? Yeah that's right, roommate number 1. That's Panda Bear. Which one of them do you think you are? Uhuh. Roommate number 2. And all I did was smoke weed and hunt beavers in Red Dead Redemption. So I guess that makes me Deacon.
