Hello
computer and computer world. I
think it necessary to begin, well shit, at the beginning I guess. I am Bradley Wik, yes, of the world
famous and internationally renown Bradley Wik and the Charlatans; and this is
an interwebs blog-type-thing. For
years now, people, and by that I mean our innumerable die-hard BWC lovers, have
been telling me to get with the now and get online and stuff or whatever the
fuck. They say that this is the
information age and there really isn’t much out there in the way of a BWC
backstory or much information about the individual members. People want to get to know Bradley Wik,
for some odd reason, and see what makes him(me) tick. In the olden days, musicians were shrouded in mystery and
rumors and we loved every goddamned minute of it. That was half the fun.
They were like mystical characters, geniuses hidden from the public. But now that’s all gone. People need a constant feeding of
information regarding their favorite public figures and since I’m morally
opposed to Facebooks and Twitters and am in no way capable of keeping myself
limited to rigid word or character counts, I figured a blog would be the best
way to do this. No one cares, or
should care, what I do on a daily basis anyways or what band I’m going to see
tonight or what the sandwich I just ate for lunch looks like(whichever turkey
was on sale, I can’t remember, and spinach, not too great) or what movie I just
saw and if I liked it. They just
shouldn’t. You get what I choose
to give you, however much or little that may be. And that’s the way it should be. And if you don’t like it, there’s plenty of bridges in
Portland. Raise the collective IQ
a little bit. Just saying…
Speaking
of intelligence quotients, let me clarify that this is in no way an
intellectual blog. Please do not
come in expecting to be enlightened or learn anything relevant to the world,
outside of pop culture. I will not
explain why carbon is natures best natural binding element or why fusion
creates four times the amount of energy as fission. You do not need to know the quadratic formula nor do you
need to understand what a hypotenuse is and how to calculate such information. This is merely me, Bradley Wik, ranting
and raving and rambling through various topics which strike my fancy and are,
at least hopefully, somewhat entertaining and funny. That being said, this blog is mostly just for me. My girlfriend, my friends and my band
are most certainly tired of listening to this shit and would love for me to
have an alternate means of expressing these ridiculous, but well thought out,
arguments on why I hate this or love that and so on and so forth. I’m going to talk about whatever the
fuck I want and you can, freely I might add, choose whether or not to care or
keep reading. If you love Mumford
& Sons and don’t want to read about how much I hate them, then don’t,
unless you have a sense of humor about it(I read everything I can find about
why people hate the Boss and just laugh and laugh since he’s my favorite
musician ever). Keep in mind this
is mainly for entertainment purposes.
But before going any further, I should mention that I do use a bit of
“blue” language and cover some topics not really geared towards the younger
people(read: children). So, if you are a small child, or the
parent of a small child that catches said small child reading this and are
super overprotective and don’t want them to read this, then stop reading, or,
parents, make them stop reading… NOW…
Phew,
now that they’re gone, we’ll continue with the rest of you. If YOU, yourself, are just easily
offended and have no sense of humor, then, does Fuck You sound simple
enough? Get the fuck out of here
and stop ruining it for all the normal people who like good shit. OK, now that we’ve weeded out all the
kiddies and assholes, I’ll move on…
Like
I said before, this is mainly about pop culture: music, movies, maybe even books and art(though I wouldn’t
want to make your brain hurt too much.
Remember, not an intellectual blog), sports(GO PACK GO!) and basically
whatever else passes through this brilliant mind of mine. As I mentioned earlier, this is mostly
just for me; to get this nonsensical bullshit out of my head and for you to get
to know me better; which hey, you wanted, not me. Keep in mind, also, that this has nothing to do with the
rest of the band. It is merely the
views and opinions of Bradley Wik(me, but I like to say my name. It makes me feel good and more
important than I actually am) and is in no way reflective of the band as a
whole; but seeing as my name is kind of all over the band, I guess it is, at
least a little. Anyways, if you
want to read a more well-thought out, well-written, not as rambling or angry or
as offensive blog where you might actually learn something, please check out
Nick Kostenborder’s(our drummer’s, if you’re keeeping score at home) blog at: http://capncrash.blogspot.com. So, finally, if I haven’t chased you
away and your interest is piqued, hopefully sexually as well, welcome to the
OFFICIAL BLOG of Bradley Wik. Read
on and enjoy, motherfuckers…
