Frenzal Rhomb - Knuckleheads

Frenzal Rhomb - Knuckleheads Lyrics

I like football
As much as the next guy,
But fuck all of those,
Those rapist meat-boys.
Some animals are
Much better then that

And everytime we meet it ends up in strife
You fucks have been my enemy my whole fucking life
And I'll never make amends
And you were always not my friend
You fucken' knuckleheads
(Knuckleheads)
You fucken' knuckleheads

But he's one of of the good guys,
And all's forgiven.
Just keep your head down
Crucifixion
Is better than that...

And everytime we meet it ends up in strife
You fucks have been my enemy my whole fucking life
And I'll never make amends
And you were always not my friend
You fucken' knuckleheads

Matt Meola & Albee Layer - "The Isle" Teaser

Is it weird that two BFF’s should surf so well? Maui life-buddies Matt Meola and Albee Layer have been pushing the envelope on all fronts lately: innovative airs, paddle-in Jaws, wonderful wipeouts, online smack-talk. They surf together. Blog together. Enter Internet competitions together. It might be awkward if it weren’t so rad to watch – both together and apart, these guys are raising the freesurfing bar. They can’t even remember how long it’s been going on. “Matt’s just kinda always been there,” says Albee. “He’s one of my oldest friends.”

That’s super cute and all, but they’d just be two more undiscovered island boys if it wasn’t for the power of this thing called “the Internet”: both surfers blew up on Taylor Steele’s Innersection project (Meola won the first $100k and Albee’s a solid contender for this year’s prize); they tandem-post a blog site together (meolalayerproductions.com); and now, they’re launching their own YouTube buddy-surf web-series, called The Isle.

SURFING: Is this just your way of never having to leave Maui?
MATT MEOLA: I personally think Maui is the best place on earth. We called it “The Isle” because this is where we are from and who we are. We love to travel, but in the winter we have no reason to. There will for sure be episodes where we are traveling and surfing other waves.

SURFING: So, what’s this show about?
MEOLA: The premise of this series is to show the world who Albee and I are. To tell the truth, we don’t like where the sport is going right now, and we want to change it. The level of surfing is being pushed harder than ever, but the image around surfers is going down the drain.

SURFING: And what’s that image?

MEOLA: The stereotypical pro surfer these days are fashion-hungry hipsters who surf mostly small waves and do drone interviews telling everybody exactly what they wanna hear. Albee and I are country boys. I feel like we are not on the same page as a lot of the surfers nowadays. So, in this series we will have the chance to state our opinions. We want everybody to get to know us, not only our surfing. We want to show everybody what the life of a pro surfer from Maui is.

SURFING: So, who exactly is putting this show together?
MEOLA: Albee and I are the main surfers, but we’ve got tons of friends from here that are underground rippers. We wouldn’t be who we are with out the people we hang out with. So, if they rub the camera the right way, you can bet your ass they’re getting a shot.

SURFING: You and Albee seem really close. Is it love?
MEOLA: I once snuck in the bathroom when he was taking a shower and pissed on his leg, but that’s the closest our swords have ever come to crossing.

SURFING: Um, let’s change the subject. You’ve been telling people to vote for Albee’s Innersection over your own — do you think he’s gonna win the $100k?
MEOLA: I’m guessing he’s pretty nervous at this point. Albee isn’t the kind of guy who would want to win if he didn’t deserve it. I feel like his part is a step ahead of them all. Mental theme. Huge paddle-ins. Massive barrels. And some of the most progressive airs ever. Plus, he could probably use the money more than most of the people entered.

SURFING: Will we be seeing much of Willie Nelson and Woody Harrelson on “The Isle”?
MEOLA: I don’t know about that, but Willie’s son Lucas is a good friend and I love his music, so there’s a good chance of him showing up in Episode 2.

Albee and Matt’s “THE ISLE” premieres this week on rockstar69.com

Frenzal Rhomb - Hungry Jacks Carpark

Frenzal Rhomb - Hungry Jacks Carpark Lyrics

I'm on another planet,
it could've been 'round June
And she's face down in the oil stain,
of a lowered subaru
And she's turning cold,
at 15 years old,
taking too much slow,
mind's gone out to sea
on the P&O,
don't know what to do,
rotten shade of blue
Another case of
"stupid is as stupid does"

At 45 his better angel
has been shot
right through the head
But he sure knows how to
throw a party,
blue fluorescent flashing overhead

And they're doing smack,
outside Hungry Jacks, Sunday 8am,
I want more for them
than an ambulance,
and a value meal, $120 deal

Another case of
"stupid is as stupid does"

And she's turning cold
at 15 years old,
taking too much slow,
Another case of
"stupid is as stupid does"
Don't know what to do,
rotten shade of blue
Another case of
"stupid is as stupid does" [x3]

Pantera - Fucking Hostile [Live - Donington 1994]

Pantera - Fucking Hostile Lyrics

Almost every day, i see the same face
on broken picture tube, it fits the attitude.
If you could see yourself, you put you on a shelf
your verbal masturbate, promise to nauseate.
Today I'll play the part of non-parent,
not make a hundred rules for you to know about yourself.
Not lie and make you believe what's evil is making love,
making friends and meeting God your own way ...the right way.

To see, to be cannot be taught
In turn, you're making us
Fucking Hostile

We stand alone,
the truth in right and wrong, the boundaries of the law,
you seem to miss the point, arresting for a joint?
You seem to wonder why hundreds of people die,
you're writing tickets man, my mom got jumped they ran!
Now I'll play a public servant,
to serve and protect by the Law and the State.
I'd bust the punks that rape steal and murder
and leave you be, if you crossed me.
I'd shake your hand like a man, not a God!

To see, to be cannot be taught
In turn, you're making us
Fucking Hostile

Come meet your maker boy, somethings you can't enjoy.
Because of Heaven/Hell, a fucking wive's tale.
They put it in your head, then put you in your bed.
He's watching - say your prayers.
'cause God is everywhere.
Now I'll play a man learning priesthood,
who's about to take the ultimate test in life.
I'd question things because I am human,
and call no one my father who's no closer than a stranger.
I won't listen!

To see, to be cannot be taught
In turn, you're making us
Fucking Hostile

Good bye Emerica
