Long Live Underground.
Right, you guys are probably bored of this already, but fuck, I have to get this off my chest.
Orlando Voorn. Dude... WTF? Don't you ever, EVER assume something about me ever again. Just because I'm a Deadmau5 fan, doesn't mean I don't know who you are. It doens't mean I worship him like a God. And it doesn't mean I'm a retard. Yes, there are a lot of fucktards in the Deadmau5 fanbase, but there are fucktards in EVERY fanbase. DO NOT attack an entire fanbase, dick.
As for 'Long live underground'... NOTHING is underground, there is no fucking underground. Deal with it. As long as people are uploading their music to the world wide web, nothing will ever be underground. If you want to be 'underground' stop uploading your tracks to fucking SoundCloud, go and sit in a basement listening to them on vinyl and jacking off to them. Because thats all underground is worth today. And I don't give two shits how long you've been in the music business, it doesn't give you the right to slag off A) other artists and B) (most importantly) the people buying that artists work. This may be why the world forgot about you, I dunno, it's just my personal opinion. I've been listening to House music for, I can't even count how many years now and before that, I was listening to all sorts of Genres, and still do, but the House scene has always, to me, been one of the most loving and sharing music scenes I've come across. And occationally, dickheads like you fuck that all up and make everyone else looks like twats. I look like a twat right now, blogging about how much of a twat you are, but at this moment in time, I don't care. I'll probably care tomorrow and think "I should have stayed of Blogger yesterday"... But yet again, you've fucked me off. More than you did yesterday with your childish bullshit track. That was, in it's own way, humourous. Now you're just being a cunt. There look, you've made me use the C-word... THE FUCKING C-WORD.
Surely if you had a problem with Joel, you'd fucking message him and say "Yo, whats the deal?" and fucking talk to him about it, not be a childish little fucker and write a track about it. After all, you have him on Skype right? And yes, I do realise I'm being childish by writing this blog, but hey, fuck off, I'm 19, I'm young, I don't know when to shut up. If I had you on Skype I'd definitely say "Dude, wtf?" and talk to you about it. But I don't, all I have is this blog and right now, my anger.
Oh and, one more thing... Do you really think Joel would only want the track so he could bang his head on his mau5head... Grow up.
Orlando Voorn. Dude... WTF? Don't you ever, EVER assume something about me ever again. Just because I'm a Deadmau5 fan, doesn't mean I don't know who you are.

Paco di Bango's world of bullshit.
Whats hot right now? Don't listen to 'Heat' magazine, because they're way off the mark... I'll tell you whats hot... Having an online rivalry with Deadmau5. Yes that right, Rusko started off the craze a few months ago, then Mr. Oizo joined in, and now, Hilarious little fucker, Orlando Voorn has taken the craze to a brand new level... By writing a song about Deadmau5. You can hear the track here.
If you don't know the story.. It coz a little something like this. Mr. Voorn made a lovely track called 'Paco Di Bango's World' and then Mr. Zimmerman (aka Deadmau5) heard it and thought "I wanna do something with that" so he didn't. Mr. Voorn never gave Deadmau5 permission to release the track, so he didn't. It was simply a track he made for shit n giggles. So about half an hour ago, I get a message from a good friend of mine, just after reading a blog post from Deadmau5, asking if I had heard of what Orlando was up to. I hadn't, so my pal explained what had happened and sent me a link to the track. And it's 2:12 in the morning, I should be in bed, asleep, but instead I'm blogging because Mr. Voorn has pissed me off something rotten. And I know I shouldn't let shit like this get to me, but it does. Along with Top Gear and Daft Punk, Deadmau5 is one of the things I will always jump in a defend.
So now there's this bitter rivalry between Orlando and Joel, which Joel didn't even know existed until today. Just because Mr. Voorn is upset that Deadmau5 has a little more success than him and used one of his tracks for a sample. Earth to Orlando.. Thats what musicians do! Now, I don't know anything about Orlandos music, 'paco di Bango's world' is the only track I've ever heard of his, but I'm willing to put money on the fact that he has actually sampled at least one other track during his career. And I'm doing exactly what Orlando wants by writing this blog... Giving him publicity, but I'll be damned if some jumped up little prick like him tries to take down something I've helped build. Whatever kinda of stage Joel is on at the moment... We put him there, it didn't just happen over night. Which is maybe something Orlando should think about... His fans. And not a stupid and childish attempt to ruin fellow producers career. What on earth did he think he would accomplish from this? Did he think this would make all the Deadmau5 fans sit up and think "Holy Fuck! He's right, why did I buy all those Tickets and CD's and download all of his tracks, he's so obviously crap and a sell out" It's fucking playground behaviour.... I know a song that will get on your nerves type bullshit. "My dad could beat up your dad" mentalities. You're a fucking adult, not a 5 year old. So, Mr. Voorn, why don't you get off of your high horse and back to ground level where you belong and while you're down there, suck my dick.

Sundays Hate Campaign... A Little Early.
Tomorrow, I will still have my 'Sundays Hate Campaign, in which I remind Ben Collins of my hatred for him. I actually don't hate a lot of people, and hate is a strong word, I only use it when I really mean it. And when you take something that I love away from, thats when I use it... Ruthlessly. Today was the launch of The Suns new Saturday Magazine called 'The Buzz' almost instantly I was slapped in the face with this image...
The paragraph underneath reads:
"He May look a bit 'Middle Managment', But behind that drives-a-Mondeo exterior is a superhero. For Ben Collins - Formerly Top Gears The Stig - is ex-military and Bond movie stunt man.
"Your readers can judge whether I look like superman" He says. "All I see when I look in the mirror is a bloke who hasn't slept in a week."
Could that be down to the court case that followed The Stig's removal of his helmet after six years of anonymity?
Ben says: "I felt The Stig's life span was over, so it was a case of jump or get pushed.""
What. The. Actual. Fuck? Read that last line again..
"I felt The Stig's life span was over, so it was a case of jump or get pushed"
Excuse me Mr. Collins, but who said you can choose when The Stigs life was over? And why do you think it's okay to destroy something that somebody else has created? Just because YOU think it's over? That doesn't sound like a superhero to me. Sounds a lot like a supervillian. Selfish and greedy. Remember the famous Barack Obama quote "People will judge you on what you can build, not what you can destroy." Andy Willman and Jeremy Clarkson created The Stig, so it's down to them to decide when his time is up, not some snotty twat from Bristol. Or anyone else for that matter. What makes this a lot worse, to me at least, is that he's being put on a pedelstal by 'The Buzz'. I mean, you read it yourself, they actually called him a superhero. That pissed me right off. I know for a fact that it's not just me who loved The Stig, I also nkow for a fact a lot of kids looked up to The Stig. I've actually had a child say to me "I want to be like The Stig when I'm older" Well, not now you don't kid, because if you turned out like him, everyone will hate you. Ben hasn't just destroyed The Stig, he's destroyed something within the Top Gear basis, and any respect people had for him. And yes, I used to respect Ben. I used to wacth him in F3 and both Le Mans races he raced in. I would have even called myself a 'fan' of sorts, just as I'm a fan of Schumacher, or anyone in racing (With exception to Alonso, I dislike him a lot) And now I have nothing be hatred for him. He's the personification of everything I hate. Greed, deceit, show boating, you name it, I bet he has the quality. And no amount of Military work of Bond films will ever change that for me. It's something impressive. A lot of people are in the military or were, whats so exciting about him being in the military? Anyone could have been that Bond stunt driver.
Ben, do yourself a favour will you... Put your clothes back on, no one wants to see your chest, take that smug look off your face and fuck off. You are now a media puppet. Enjoy it while it lasts and lets hope you get enough money from it to replace the money you would still be getting from The BBC if you'd kept your whiney little trap shut. And in the future, if you want to take your clothes off for a free newspaper magazine, don't use The Stigs image... It's not yours.

Grump Free Zone
So, this week, I've been pretty grump free. Only thing I can think of that pissed me of was a pair of socks. And weeing a lot, because that means getting out of my chair. Which I hate doing. I think, possibly this has a lot to do with the amount of sugar I've consumed this week. It's been a lot, I'm better on almost like, 2 tonne or something. So I'm literally running around my house after the cat just to touch it's fuzzyness and then run back up stairs to post on facebook... AGAIN. So I've been getting grumpy about stupid things, The Sun, Socks, my rug.. ect, and then fogetting about them. I'm drinking a least like a litre of Dr Pepper a day. I made cakes yesterday, two of which I ate, Trifle, and when I say Trifle I mean 'Whipped cream', cookies, chocolate biscuits, you name it. I, however, have no idea why, I don't even really like sweet foods anyways.
Anyways, because I've been super hyper this week and not grumpy, I thought I'd tell you about how t0ttaly PWND a Spitter on Left 4 dead 2. Because even I was impressed with myself, and I suck. So I was playing 'The Parish' campaing and was up in the little attic room, the one where you can either go straight throough into the kitchen or up the stairs into the attic bedroom and then through the hole in the ceiling into the kitchen. So anyways, I was up there collecting ammo and various other things when all of a sudden I hear "EEAAIIIAIIAEIEIEAI" which is obviously the spitter, So I'm like "Fucking bitch, I'm gonna get you for that you you spat on me while I was being raped by a hunter" (See, I suck) so I stand next to the wall on which the door is. The door btw is blocked by like a chest of drawers or something similar. So I'm standing there waiting for this spitter to do her dirty business, the bots are all freaking out coz the can hear her gobbing around. I switch from my Melee to my gun and hear her getting closer. By now, she's at the door, you know when you just know that a spitter is at the door, it was pretty much like that. And I bet she's thinking "Well where the hell is Ellis?" She doesn't realy care because she spits all over the other three, but JUST as she leans forward to spit *BOOM* Head shot. Spitter brains everywhere. I even drew a picture detailing the event.
Also, another little window into how I suck. Tank. Molotov. Small room. Not a great idea. Though I did live through it.

FREE PORN ON THE NHS!!
Fuck yeah! Free porn. No wait... it's wasting tax payers money...
I read about this story today and it made me immediately grumpy. Apparently, the National Health Service here in The UK provides pornographic magazine and films for sperm donors to get their baby making juices flowing. But people have been accusing the NHS of wasting money (whats new there?) and supporting the pornographic industry. I have a few things to say to these people. The first being that if you think the NHS is wasting money, on whatever it is you think it's wasting money on, why don't you go private, hmm? We're a country lucky enough to have free health care so shut up or fuck off and pay for it yourself. Secondly, the pornographic industry is one of the richest in the world, so even if The NHS wasn't buying dirty mags, a porn star will be far richer than you will ever be. Another issue I have with these complaints is it's 2010... Grow the fuck up! You have half naked ladies dancing around in music videos and jumping around in their underwear on adverts, so who gives a damn if a hospital has a few porn mags under the desk for a man who is essentially doing someone a favour? It's not as if they're leaving these magazines in the fucking rainbow ward is it. This is very similar to what happened in The South Park Movie... If you're not careful, Satan and Saddam Hessian WILL come back and kill everyone...
Some couples, whether or not they're trying for a baby, will watch a pornographic movie together to get in the mood for the bump and grind... What exactly is the difference here? If it takes a few pictures of a naked lady to get some baby making juice.. So be it. Imagine the scene... You're in the baby making clinic, going in for IVF treatment because unfortunately, nature has other plans for you and your partner and you cannot conceive naturally, but you are absolutely DYING to have a little baby of your own. The doctor walks into the room and says "We have a sperm donor ready (or whatever they say) ... I hope you don't mind that he jerked of to a few pictures the get the sperm for you" What is your response.
A. "No I don't mind, I just want baby making juice"
B. "OMG THAT DISGRACEFUL!! How dare he do that! It's disgusting, my baby will turn out to be a pervert"
The answer is A. Obviously. Because that's how they get all the sperm you know... MASTURBATION! It's nothing new to anyone and it's completely natural so just grow up and get your turkey baster out. You want that kid right? Right. And if you're lucky enough to have children already or are able to... Shut the fuck up, it has nothing to do with you.

Whats got me grumpy..
A few things over the past week have made me grumpy. My head phones breaking, not getting enough sleep and still being grumpy about Ben Collins are all fine examples, but not enough to write about, so this week, since I haven't been grumpy about most of the headlines, or anything major in any way, I've decided to be grumpy about a number of little things I've spotted in the news. I want to start with one from today...
30st worker is laid off....
Now, I don't wish to insult anyone here... Weight is always a delicate issue, but, the guy worked in a factory where he had to climb on platforms to install something or rather. He suffers from diabetes and heart problems. Think to yourself and be honest... Would you employ a 30-Stone man for this type of job? The heart problems are enough to worry any employer, but then you have to think of your other employees out on the floor. What if, one day, he does blackout due to his blood sugar levels, You have a few issues here... 1) What the hell do you do? You don't know what he needs for his diabetes, you don't know what type he has and you can't run to the first aid box because all that in there is a rusty safety pin, three plasters and an empty box of Paracetamol. 2) What if he had fallen onto another employee? Then you have to worry about number 1 and now, a second injured employee. It's bad enough when two people crash into another, but it's worse when one is double the weight of the other. Again, I am genuinely trying not to insult anyone here. 3) What if there's a claim involved? This may sound selfish, but when your company is at risk, you have to be selfish, otherwise you'll go under, very quickly. And the claim thing goes for any accidents in the work place, but when you have someone with health issues working for you and they begin to creep into view, you're more likely to have accidents happening at work.
Anyway, that isn't really the part that bugged me, because even though he took up his employers offer of redundancy and despite his medical issues, he was refused incapacity allowance. This is what irritated me, because people who are completely capable of working get away with hundreds of moneys a year from incapacity allowance, and when someone genuinely needs it, they're turned away. Barry get £21.65 a week from Job-Seekers allowance. That's it, nothing more, nothing less. Just £21.65. I know people less than half his age getting £30 a week on Job Seekers. And they don't even go out and look for jobs.
35ft trees make neighbours angry n shit.
So you want some threes in your front garden? Well, no... It's horrible. If you did that, I wont be able to see your house, you'd get no sunlight into your living room, it would be an eye-sore AND anti-social.... And we don't want that now do we? Well apparently David Alvand did. He has a few small trees in his front garden, they're not even that noticeable at 35ft tall. His neighbours all hate him and want to council to sort it out because it's 'ugly'... Two things 1) THEY'RE TREES! On what planet are trees ugly? 2) Stop overreacting, it's his garden, if he wants to plant a few small trees, let him.
Mother brings baby back to life with her heartbeat.
I have to admit, I started off loving this story. It's an amazing thing, it really is. The idea that, essentially a cuddle brought that baby back into the realm of the living. Then someone thought it would be a great idea for the parents to go travelling around the world with said baby, promoting the technique... Calling it 'Kango Care' (Because Kangaroo use a similar technique to keep their young warm) This is where I got grumpy. Not only is that a ridiculously stupid name, but going around telling women that hugging their dead babies is just cruel. It's giving them yet another false hope. Yes, it worked for this women, doesn't mean it will work for you. And then someone had the audacity to call it a 'miracle'... No it isn't. It's called SCIENCE. It's a basic biological method of survival. I did that same thing when I was maybe 12 years old. Not with a baby, but with a kitten. When our little Louie was born, he wasn't breathing, my immediate reaction was to grab a towel and rub his chest. He's now 10 years old and alive because of me. It's the same thing with this story, except with a heartbeat instead of a hand and a towel. It's naturally built into every living thing. You respond to vibrations and temperatures. It is very far from being a 'miracle'.

You don't know what he needs for his diabetes, you don't know what type he has and you can't run to the first aid box because all that in there is a rusty safety pin, three plasters and an empty box of Paracetamol. 2) What if he had fallen onto another employee? Then you have to worry about number 1 and now, a second injured employee. It's bad enough when two people crash into another, but it's worse when one is double the weight of the other. Again, I am genuinely trying not to insult anyone here. 3) What if there's a claim involved? This may sound selfish, but when your company is at risk, you have to be selfish, otherwise you'll go under, very quickly. And the claim thing goes for any accidents in the work place, but when you have someone with health issues working for you and they begin to creep into view, you're more likely to have accidents happening at work.
Anyway, that isn't really the part that bugged me, because even though he took up his employers offer of redundancy and despite his medical issues, he was refused incapacity allowance. This is what irritated me, because people who are completely capable of working get away with hundreds of moneys a year from incapacity allowance, and when someone genuinely needs it, they're turned away. Barry get £21.65 a week from Job-Seekers allowance. That's it, nothing more, nothing less. Just £21.65. I know people less than half his age getting £30 a week on Job Seekers. And they don't even go out and look for jobs.
35ft trees make neighbours angry n shit.
So you want some threes in your front garden? Well, no... It's horrible. If you did that, I wont be able to see your house, you'd get no sunlight into your living room, it would be an eye-sore AND anti-social.... And we don't want that now do we? Well apparently David Alvand did. He has a few small trees in his front garden, they're not even that noticeable at 35ft tall. His neighbours all hate him and want to council to sort it out because it's 'ugly'... Two things 1) THEY'RE TREES! On what planet are trees ugly? 2) Stop overreacting, it's his garden, if he wants to plant a few small trees, let him.
Mother brings baby back to life with her heartbeat.
I have to admit, I started off loving this story. It's an amazing thing, it really is. The idea that, essentially a cuddle brought that baby back into the realm of the living. Then someone thought it would be a great idea for the parents to go travelling around the world with said baby, promoting the technique... Calling it 'Kango Care' (Because Kangaroo use a similar technique to keep their young warm) This is where I got grumpy. Not only is that a ridiculously stupid name, but going around telling women that hugging their dead babies is just cruel. It's giving them yet another false hope. Yes, it worked for this women, doesn't mean it will work for you. And then someone had the audacity to call it a 'miracle'... No it isn't. It's called SCIENCE. It's a basic biological method of survival. I did that same thing when I was maybe 12 years old. Not with a baby, but with a kitten. When our little Louie was born, he wasn't breathing, my immediate reaction was to grab a towel and rub his chest. He's now 10 years old and alive because of me. It's the same thing with this story, except with a heartbeat instead of a hand and a towel. It's naturally built into every living thing. You respond to vibrations and temperatures. It is very far from being a 'miracle'.

A message to Ben Collins...
.. You slimy little man. What was it? You wasn’t making enough money from your company? You wasn’t making enough money from the BBC? Or did Andy Wilman just piss you off? I mean really, the nation, no, not just the fucking nation, people from all of the world love The Stig and they loved the anonymity of him, but you had to go and write a book and ruin it all. For what? A few extra pounds in your bank account? All the kids that look up to The Stig as a hero, did you think of them while arguing your case in court? All the Top Gear fans who watch the show every Sunday, buy the magazine, buy the tee shirts and toys and Stig Soap-on-a-fucking-rope. I’m guessing we all slipped your mind as you were too busy thinking about all the money you were gonna make from this. And I guess you never thought about the fact that it is us, the viewer, that made it able for you to be The Stig in the first place by watching the show and being loyal fans, and you go and throw it in our faces for, what I’m imagining to you, is petty fucking cash. I highly doubt that any respectable Top Gear fan will be asking for your auto-biography from Santa this Christmas.
You could have written a book, no one was stopping you from writing a book, despite your complaints about the other three presenters getting book deals, but you figured you’d sell more copies if you outed the big secret didn’t you. It’s so blindingly obvious why you’ve done it; It wasn’t enough to sell just to be ‘Ben Collins’ and write about your racing experiences. You’re probably thinking “Yeah, well Perry McCarthy did the same thing” and yes, he wrote an autobiography, revealing he was indeed ‘The Stig’, difference is, The stig didn’t reach a cult status when Perry McCarthy was on the scene. He didn’t have a horde of loyal Top Gear fans like todays Stig. Top Gear (‘Jeremys’ era of Top Gear that is) was still a baby back then.
And I know, I shouldn’t just be ranting about you, Ben Fucking Collins, the court is at blame too, after all they’re the ones who refused the court junction and is allowing this book to be published. And HarperCollins is also at blame for publishing the book. But if you hadn’t written the book, intending on outing The Stigs identity, none of this would have happened. You’d still have a book, and we’d still have our Stig. This is embarrasing for Top Gear, it’s embarrassing for the BBC, most mostly it’s embarrasing for you, Ben Fucking Collins. I feel confident in saying that you have made a lot of enemies today.
