Zayn Malik Left One Direction & People Are Losing Their Goddamn Minds
If you’ve been on the internet in the last 24 hours, you’ll know that Zayn Malik left One Direction. While that means absolutely nothing to me and most of the population, there are still people who are taking it very badly. One Direction is THE boy band right now, and all their fans are teetering on the brink of insanity as it is, and I’m afraid this story is going to send them over the edge. Here are some sample tweets:

Zayn means more to me than everything I can’t imagine my life without my life 💔
— Hearts&Flowers&Zayn (@JumeBegum_x1Dx) March 26, 2015
Obviously I can’t relate to any of these people, and I’m sure that One Direction is an important part of their life, but some of this is a little overboard. Zayn related tweets occupy two of the top three trends in the world right now, so obviously a lot of people are affected positively or negatively. He’s one member of a five person group. so I can’t imagine their songs are going to sound a lot different, but in the Internet age, people feel like they’re a lot closer to their favorite celebrities than they actually are. They follow them on Twitter and are friends with them on Facebook and that’s when things get weird. I can only imagine some of the shit that this guy Zayn is hearing from his fans, and if I were him, I’d stay as far away from the spotlight as possible.

If You Haven’t Been Following The Robert Flores/Nick Young War of Words, It’s Not Too Late To Jump On Board
In case you missed it, Sportscenter anchor Robert Flores took a dig at Lakers guard Nick Young, aka Swaggy P’s girlfriend Iggy Izalea. Here’s the original video from Sportscenter:
ESPN is trying this new thing with Sportscenter where they give a hot take on certain issues, which is making the show and their anchors a little more edgy. I’m not sure why Flores decided to pick on Azalea, but Nick Young took offense and semi threatened Flores on Twitter, which of course he soon deleted. But as we’ve seen before, nothing is REALLY deleted from the internet:
Flores, not one to be upstaged, might have landed the knockout blow last night:
.@RoFloESPN will never stop going in 🔥🔥🔥 http://t.co/2eMhzC0uUtpic.twitter.com/qBkWgRzbi3

Although Flores initiated it, Nick Young should know better than to enter a war of words with a Sportscenter anchor. These guys are brilliant, quick witted professionals with an entire staff waiting to look up stats. Also, Nick Young is shooting 36% from the field this year, so technically Flores isn’t wrong. This is entertaining stuff, and will continue to be until one of these two is suspended or something stupid happens because we live in the most sensitive society in the history of the world.

Afroman Went Temporarily Insane And Decked A Female Fan During A Performance
The story I read on this stated that Afroman’s side of the story is “the girl startled him and this was a reflex reaction”. You don’t have to be Nancy Drew to be able to watch this video and see how that statement is bullshit. He saw the girl come on stage, made eye contact with her, then hit her as hard as he could. I never had a strong opinion on Afroman from either side of the spectrum, but if you hit women, you’re pretty much a piece of garbage. It’s one of those things that is very much black and white. The one thing we don’t have to worry about is jail time getting in the way of his sky rocketing music career.

Monster Blog – Fantasy Bands
Everyone has their favorite musicians. Some come from very different genres of music and would never cross vocal or musical sound waves, but what if, for one day, you could have those musicians and singers combine for one mega show? That is what we did on this week’s Monster Blog. Here we go!
The Dementors
This was probably a combination of the easiest decisions I’ve ever had to make. Sam Smith on the vocals is a no brainer. I just saw him at MSG and he has the voice of an angel wrapped inside another angel. Prince on the guitar is a bit of a wildcard and keeps everyone on their toes, plus if we ever need backup vocals we have PRINCE. Louie Armstrong on the trumpet instead of a bass player because if your band doesn’t have a trumpet I’m not sure what the point is. Keith Moon on the drums because someone needs to party with the band manager, The Iron Sheik. Since Sam Smith is the vocalist, the band would have a soulful blues type of sound, but with Louie on the trumpet we can get really weird when we need to. Maybe record a song or two with Sam, Louie and Prince on vocals? Dabble in this, dabble in that. I honestly just really want to hear The Iron Sheik call everyone he comes into contact with a ‘raisin dick’.

Freddy’s Crew
Let me start by saying that no matter what hypothetical situation we did for this week’s monster blog I was going to pick Freddy Mercury. I have been on a mega Queen kick for approximately the last 22 years so The mustachio melody maker was a no brainer. For my drummer the man from Rush and arguably greatest drummer of all-time, Neil Peart, was a solid choice. On Bass I selected the man who single handedly changed the 4 stringed axe, Les Claypool. If you have ever listened to the band Primus then you know how crucial the bass was to their sound. For lead guitar I went with the guy I idolized growing up, Joe Perry. Aerosmith was and still is my favorite rock and roll band, so the man behind the vocals and solos from ‘Mama Kim’ was obviously my selection. And to manage this squad of talented gentlemen? Artie Lange. Sure, he may be unstable and on the verge of a heart attack, but nobody would get us more money per venue than him. This band is built for one thing, and one thing only…classic rock covers. Cover bands are so hot right now!

Ryan’s Music Monday: Sam Smith – Life Support
I went to see Sam Smith on Thursday night at Madison Square Garden, and good Lord can that son of a bitch sing. He only has one album out, so the set was shorter than most acts that play the Garden, but anyone worried about his voice translating to a live crowd should go check him out. Top notch performer.

Insane Instagram Comments: Come on Down, Niykee Heaton
Aug 4
Posted by ryanfoges
For those that don’t know, Niykee Heaton is an up and coming singer. She also happens to be one of the hottest girls these eyes have ever seen. Any good looking semi famous girl is going to get her share of insane Instagram comments, and my only hope is to catch some of these people in the act. Well I got ya, _princessallison_! I don’t know if this is an admission of cannibalism on princesses part or if she just really likes Niykee’s butt (can’t blame her there) but either way it’s a little odd. My favorite part about the comment is how casual it all seems. Just straight to the point, I would like some of your butt, please and thank you. The only thing better than following beautiful women on Instagram is catching an insane comment every once in awhile. Girl gimme that butt.
