LISTEN to this cover of an old MTV mashup of Toxic and Faint sung by utaite fuku_wa NOW

#fukuwas been around for over 15 years doing his thing. wild to think about #but holy shit i hadnt check up on his covers in a while. but recently he did this one #and it blows my mind. i put it in a playlist that i forgot what i had in it (i make really large playlists and play em on shuffle LOL) #and when i heard the first part i was like ah yes faint i like this song i like the weird strings. only half paying attention. #and it wasnt until we got to the toxic chorus and i was like WAIT THATS NOT MIKE #really good impression of mike's. like. cadence? his flow!!!!!!! if ur not being distracted by the faint strings like i was #their voices have slight diff timbres plus different accents but like he had the flow down PERFECT #and in the choruses he gets chesters cadence and timbre wonderfully too especially in the part near the end of the bridge #the sort of inhaling growl in 'dont turn your back on me' was spot on #his voice is a little more broken in his screams and more melodic in the softer parts than chesters more like. fuller sound? #sorry for the random voice analyses. i am not a professional i just think like this LOL #but yeah blowing my mind. fuku_wa has always had a really versatile voice with a lot of control (LOVED his cover of two faced lovers) #(when i was a kid! its still probably my fav version of that song) but MAN i had to check to screen to make sure i didnt acidentally fall #into another universe where faint had the lyrics of toxic normally. i was so scared and confused. i like to do this #i like to scare myself by putting mashups and their source songs in the same playlists and forget about it. keeps me on my toes #Youtube

I dont normally make text posts anymore, most I actually post is just reblogs and the occasional film photo of whatever, but atm this is the only place I can voidshout into cause fuckin basically no one i know is on here lmao. 

TL;DR: Mate rolled car off mountain, everyone is home safe with very minor injurys.

There is no worse feeling than watching you friend crash his car. I’ve done it at least twice before tonight. Tonight marks the third, and also the worse, dont worry, no ones dead, worst fuckin injury was a minor concussion. I dont fucking know how those two aren’t pancaked between the car and the roof though.

I recently got fancy new semi slick race/street tyres (toyo R888R’s) put on my car, and tonight was my second mountain run on them. The improvement in grip is an incredible improvement over my previous high-performance street tyres (pilot sport 4′s), and because of this I was carrying bulk pace through the corners to really see what they can do, and a lil bit to show off to my mate riding passo. 

Behind me, my best mate of 7 or so years and one of my other really good friends who I met though our love of cars and mountains. The good mate was driving his Mitsubishi fto, with every good handling mod done right, coilovers, solid bushes and engine mounts, all adjustable control arms all aligned properly, and bridgestone re003′s. He’s been running hills for almost as long as I have, but he’s got no where near the track knowledge of this mountain I do, he’s more of a track day kinda guy. His car’s set up well enough and he can drive well enough that he can usually make up for the lack of track knowledge while following me in my lancer wagon thats only got king springs and sticky tyres to make it corner, but I was gaining some distance on him. Thank fucking god that I hadnt gapped him any further. 

We came flying through a medium-high pace corner and for who knows what reason I thought to look in the rear-view. I can see the feint blue of his HID’s disappear, and become red. Brake light. Why can I see fucking tail lights in my rearview. Oh_Shit.jpg

I slow down, handbrake u-turn. Where is the FTO? floor it back though the past two corners, I cant see them anywhere. My passo points off the the side of the road; there they are. All I see is the dim glow of the HID’s on the grass near the ditch, no sign of fto. Pull up to a stop next to them.

They’ve fucking rolled. 

Run over, “YO YOU GUYS ALL GOOD?” Nothing.

The roof is all caved in. All i can think is they’ve lost their heads. I dont want to look.

“Yeah....   We’re alive”

Thank fuck these two are shorter than 6 foot holy shit.

We pry open the door and help them get right way up and out the car, my best mate is bleeding quite a bit from the head and cant remember how we crash. His side is way more collapsed than the drivers side, so he’s hit his head and got a concussion. But they’re both fucking alive breathing and walking. We salvaged what we could out of the car and booked it down to the hospital, got the two all checked in. So me and my passo set of to call a towie and get the car off the mountain, get everyones shit out, and get everything back home. 

So everyone’s all cleared from hospital, both just a bit beat up and very sore but all home safe and in bed. The car’s badly covered and sat on the road out the front my house.

Fuck me what a night.
