Since I LIVE ON THE INTERNET AT ALL TIMES, the least I can do for you is weed out all the nonsense and crap and tell you what's worth your time. Each week, your friendly Buzz Guides will find the best in music, cinema, memes, literature, and all things creative and share it with you. This week, Buzznet's Community Manager PanasonicYouth spills his love for powerviolence-tinged hardcore, the best movie of 2009, and a bunch of other things that will probably make you want to cry.

MUSIC

Ever since it was announced that Ceremony would be opening all of the dates of AFI's west coast tour, I've been listening pretty extensively to this band. Their most recent record, 2008's Still Nothing Moves You, is one intense piece of thrashy hardcore. This band is savage and their lyrics are so over-the-top and ridiculous that they somehow seem…

I give you The Golden Triangle's Cowboy Church

Station on a dirt road away from the town and proper street lighting "The Cowboy Church" is a mystery to the residents of Starkville, Mississippi.

*You come on horseback wearing your best Wrangler jeans, button up shirt, and your big belt buckle of Jesus

The sermon starts off by singing hymns as you tear ass though wild fields on your horse with your fellow god fearing good-ole boys

Once the sun goes…

and the top or most popular members are still the same people? hanna beth and audrey kitching? really guys???

eh. i guess i haven't missed much then. i could care less about the goings-on in either of those lives.

however, i really love aim & ignite by fun and i listen to it every day. join me.

Hey there. This here blog is coming at you all the way from the sweltering paradise that is Tempe, AZ. Some of you may remember our old friend Ryan Mendez. Well, he has created quite the studio set up at his house here in AZ. Why AZ you ask? Ryan's wife is in graduate school for architecture at Arizona State. So over the last 8 months Sean and I have been traveling between my home in Athens, and his in San Diego to write songs.

When we feel like they are ready to go we head here to AZ where Mendez slaps the lead guitars on and produces the sweet sounding demos you have all been listening to. (He won't be playing lead guitar in the band, however. That duty has been bestowed upon our friend Josh Portman, previously of the band Near Miss.) We have been writing and recording these…
