Fred Durst's Blog

xanga.com/home.aspx?user=americanalien?

"Interests: i love my son, daughter, music and films the most. i also love skateboarding and the culture of the skateboarder's whole existance."

Thanks Nicole for the heads up.

"Sometimes I don't want to take my frustrations, fears, or troubles out on the Limp site," Durst explains in one post. "I made American Aliens a place specifically for that. ... So just know Limp Bizkit is Limp Bizkit, and American Aliens is me and you. It's not very hard to grasp."

Also his band is not breaking up.

Since everyone loves rock stars' high school photos, here's Fred in his prom outfit:

Nice Flock Of Seagulls hair.

Fred should totally blogroll Stereogum (for all the Britney photos obvs).

i particularly enjoyed the post where he quotes "tainted love"...

but is it weird that i'm not as disgusted by him now that i know he listens to loveless?

i think the appropriate response to his saying that he likes 'loveless' is to hate his music even more. now we know that he's heard at least one great record, and should thus know better. also, nice try with that sonic youth t-shirt, fred.

of course he's deep. did you look at his 'about' page?

"i see too much with my eyes and i feel too much with my soul."

those are exactly the right qualities to help you paint, write, direct, and think.

I think we all envy Fred. He has sold out tours, and you gotta give him credit. He's gotten more ass than any of us ever will. so maybe we should all just fuck off with our pretend hate and admit we want him to fuck us up the ass. i mean hell, isnt that what you really want? Isnt that really why we give him the time of day? Maybe we should be making fun of pee wee herman, or some other common day jack off. The fred things getting old, and im not even a fan.

Occupation: Artist

you don't need to hate Fred Durst. trust me, his punishment is worse than anything we can ever say about him. I mean, come on. He's Fred Durst, and he is known for being in a band called Limp Bizkit. You don't have to do anything else. he's always been worthless, and it isn't personal opinion, or bias, it's fact! If it weren't, the millions of people who bought his bullshit when it came out (ala' 'flavor of the month') would keep buying his bullshit- and they aren't. it's called staying power. and if he was as deep as he thought he was, he'd have considered that rather than be a waste.

I'm also confused by all the Fred Durst hate.

Fred Durst is a quadruped which lives in the big rivers like the Amazon. He has two ears, a heart, a forehead, and a beak for eating honey. But he is provided with fins for swimming.
- Fred Durst is larger than frogs.
Fred Durst is are dangerous, so if you see him where people are swimming, you shout...
-Look out, there goes rhymin' Fred Durst!

Band To Watch: Blank Dogs

Blank Dogs are actually singular: It's the insanely prolific one-man Brooklyn-based band of Mr. Blank Dog. We don't know too much about the biography of the guy behind the bedroom new-wave pop/punk and he's usually covering his face with masks...

Quit Your Day Job: Megafaun

Raleigh-via-Eau Clair BTW Megafaun debuted impressively earlier this year with Bury The Square. The trio nip-and-tuck experimental tendencies (tape splicing, white noise colliding with banjo, junkyard-laced spring reverb, screeching feedback at the tail end of a quiet back porch lament)...

Premature Evaluation: of Montreal - Skeletal Lamping

Skeletal Lamping is anything but skeletal. When we took a close listen to album closer "Id Engager" we mentioned it wasn't the strangest, most ambitious, or best tune on of Montreal's new one, but after absorbing the other 14 tracks,...
