Land of the Dead Capitalists

Critique of American Capitalism as told through Zombies, starring John Leguizmo?
Sign me up!
Gorey but it has a point and takes a slightly different spin than most Zambie films (yes I meant to type Zambie-say it in a southern accent its funny)

Weeds is not only entertaining, funny, and quite enjoyable for any member of the drug/marijuana subculture but is also very smart, offering much commentary on American life in the suburbs, the current political atmosphere in this country, and other mundane quips about a variety of issues.
The female lead is both likable and attractive despite her massive character flaws and bad decision making habits. Kevin Nealon is hilarious and very real as the pot smoking councilman in the first season and unemployed adulterer in this season.
If you like comedies, drugs, social commentary, or any of the actors involved this is a MUST see.

Tracks:
1-Amazing message and great vocals
2-Top 3 favorite song about friendship I quote it all the time
3-BRILLIANT listen to this song to be amazed by the human vocal chords
4-Great moral message awesome lyrics
5-7861 is their most popular and for good reason its remarkable
6-Fantastic
7/8-Christian I refuse to listen
9-Continues the heavy music
10-Different sounding than the rest of the album
11-AMAZING message

Kezia tells the story of the ill fated main character namesake. She is a "working girl" and lives in a time when all women are. In a genius turn of creativity Protest the Hero tells her tell in Dostovesky style-from 3 perspectives: The Priest/Prison Guard, The Executioner, Kezia herself. Each narrator is given 3 songs each and the last song summerizes the tale.
A MUST LISTEN

Tell All Your Friends is most enjoyed with sufficient analysis.
This CD tells the story of a ill fated relationship through the eyes of a narrator who finds himself simultaneously reflecting on and living through the horrors of a relationship. The narrator through out the tale is at varying levels of despair, anger, longing, regret, and (perhaps surprisingly) self confidence and determination.
Track 1-You Know How I Do
The tale begins with the central relationship flailing. "SO SICK so sick of being tired and OH SO TIRED of being sick". The culpability of each party is immediately questioned: "We're BOTH such magnificent liars...". The self-confidence/determination motif of the album is introduced front and center with the refrain: "WE WONT STAND FOR HAZY EYES ANYMORE".
Track 2-Bike Scene
The narrator has moved to action in this song "I'll leave the lights down low so she knows I MEAN BUSINESS and maybe we could talk this over". He also retains hope "I COULD BE YOUR BEST BET" although it is tempered with fear "LET ALONE YOUR WORST EX". By the end of the song we know the tables have turned and it is not our narrator with the power in the situation "YOU'VE GOT ME RIGHT WHERE YOU WANT ME"
Track 3- Cute without the "e" (Cut from the Team)
With the narrator still in the villain's clutches we are treated to one of my favorite TBS songs as the narrator muses about the nature of his conundrum: "And will you TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS you've got your gun to my head....THIS ALL WAS ONLY WISHFUL THINKING". Also-importantly-we begin to compile a list of the villain's misdeeds: "Your lipstick, his collar don't bother angel I know exactly what goes on"; "I wont ever ask if you don't ever tell me I know you well enough to know you never loved me'; (more specifically) "AND ALL OF THIS WAS ALL YOUR FAULT"...."I stay WRECKED and JEALOUS for this". After cute without the e when know the narrator has been wronged and that his transgressor is not done yet...
Track 4-Theres no I in Team
This song moves away from the central relationship to friendship heartbreak-pains which are just as damning. Learning that "BEST FRIENDS MEANS I PULLED THE TRIGGER BEST FRIENDS MEANS YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE" makes us question who the people are that we let into our lives....As unloving girlfriends cheat what are our friends up to behind our backs?
Track 5-Great Romances of the 21st Century
Back to the central relationship-and things have gotten worse. "I said 'this wont mean a thing come tomorrow' and that's exactly how I'll make it seem cause Im still not sleepin thinkin 'i've crawled home from worse than this'". Although the narrator is slowly crumbling inside there is still optimistic resolve "I NEVER SAID ID TAKE THIS LYING DOWN". The song ends with the narrator begging for positive reinforcement for his efforts.......
Track 6-Ghost Man on Third
The title alone implies the narrator's feelings: he is now a ghost. This song is much more vague than many of the others but it still conjures up the necessary mood. The narrator is waiting for her and knows she is not coming. He begins to rebel against the tides of fate.
Track 7-Timberwolves at New Jersey
"...that's what girls dreams are made of...and that's all you need to know you have it or you don't"
"THIS IS ME WITH THE WORDS ON THE TIP OF MY TONGUE AND MY EYE DOWN THE SCOPE OF THE BARREL OF A GUN....remind me not to ever act this way again/remind me not to ever think of you again".
What does it take to get girls? What do we put ourselves through to impress them? The narrator is trying to find validation with those other than the villain and is not finding much luck.
**Also notice the many gun references
Track 3- "which would you prefer my finger on the TRIGGER or me face down down across your floor JUST SO LONG AS THIS THINGS LOADED...will you tell all your friends you've got your GUN to my head?"
Track 4- "best friends means I pulled the TRIGGER best friends means you get what you deserve"
TRACK 7-"this is me with the words on the tip of my tongue and my eye through the scope down the BARREL OF A GUN"
Timberwovles at New Jersey is a very important turning point in the story. The narrator is fed up, he feels like he does not exist (is a ghost), that he is not okay (you have it or you DONT), and he's in so much danger that it is comparable to staring down the barrel of a gun....he decides something must change.
Track 8-The Blue Channel
"This is the last night that you'll be keeping secrets from me." proclaims the angry narrator who continues to be wronged: "you know of the TEN MILLION THINGS YOU HAD TO SAY 'sorry' just might found its way there somehow, somewhere". Unfortunately, as is often the case, the narrator still desires the attention he was never given: "If this is the LAST TIME I see you, I'll STILL wait for your call". As a final jab to the heart: "Do you know what your girl's been up to?"
The narrator and listener are well aware of the situation's magnitude: the cheating, loveless villain still has the power to raise our hopes and lower our spirits, we know she is evil and now have the pleasure of milling over it for eternity....
Track 9-You're SO Last Summer
"She said 'don't, don't let go to your head. boys like you are a dime a dozen. boys like you are a dime a dozen." she said 'you're a touch overrated. you're a lush and I hate it but these grass stains on my knees they won't mean a thing"
With the wounds still fresh a generous serving of salt is poured on top with the villain showing no remorse and instead making audacious counterclaims. Sadly the narrator still cannot completely remove himself from the horrendous woman "maybe I should hate you for this...never really did ever quite get that far".
Most importantly this song holds one of the most classic lyrics of all time SO amazing in fact that I cannot in good conscience ruin them for someone considering buying the CD.
The song begs "All I need to know is that I'm something you'll be missing....". The narrator hates the villain knows her crimes but still needs to know that he meant SOMETHING to her.
Track 10-Head Club
Life Changing Anthem.
The story resolves itself and I wont say how. But our hero triumphs and so does the listener....
been through a break up?
had your heart broken?
been made to feel you are worthless?
