Music: An Island of Reality in a Sea of Diarrhea

As your PCTI Multimedia Officer and that Token Music Guy (as so aptly labeled by my boy DK), what better time than now to offer up some of my thoughts about my PCTI brethren.  During one of my gear-grinding sessions the other day, I was thinking about PCTI and all the idiots in it.  I thought to myself, "If I had to link a musical act to each person in PCTI, who would I pick and why?"  That deep pondering brings me to our post: a two-part piece that compares everyone to some musical act that reminds me of each person, and why.  Part 1 will chronicle Breaking Bad and its members; and you guessed it, Part 2 will take care of the Kittens.  Without further ado, let's get into it...

Josh Stephenson:  We'll start with the captain.  Getting to know this guy throughout college, I learned quickly what most of you already knew: dude is a slut.  No way around it.  Just gets it in and gets on his way.  After his stellar showing last year with Ms. Cougar Town, he squashed any rumors or musings about a change in personality that might have been swirling.  He is what he is: he doesn't care about much, he loves hard drugs, he's a total whore, and he doesn't give a shit what you think.  That made his musical choice easy...



Josh Pitto:  When you think Josh Pitto, you think annoying.  I couldn't stand playing against this guy until I started playing with him.  He whines more than Lebron, and his voice is shrill and unmistakeable.  He's just this awful noise that lingers in your head for days at a time, in our cases 4 days in early April.  This was another easy one...

Pat Higdon:  I literally have no idea who this guy is.  He has come out of nowhere as the newest addition to PCTI.  As the new kid on the block, he will be dying to fit in and be liked.  From learning what I have about the guy up to this point, I'm confident that he will be a non-contributor both on the basketball floor and to the betterment of society as a whole.  He will fade as quick as he came, so his musical act choice was also a no-brainer...

Brent Carney:  BC was a tough one, as he is pretty much a mystery to me.  I consulted his Facebook page to help guide me in a musical act for him, as he doesn't remind me of anyone in particular.  Just covering my eyes and pointing at the screen, I landed on this one.  And it worked out pretty good, as there's a funny guy in the video and we all know Brent thinks he's a funny guy.

Tony Hopskins:  I LOL'ed a little bit when I was dubbed the music guy, as AHOP would undoubtedly piss off DK more than I do if he knew about his musical style.  If you've heard of the artist, than it's garbage to Anthony's ears.  He's so hipster, man.  The less you can understand the lyrics, the better for this guy.  IRL, Anthony talks very slow, rarely showers, and has fantastic hair.  My first choice for him was Bon Iver, but after a little digging I found a musical act way more underground to suit his style...

Brian Esksdlfhgreoerkbnflvkjebrqksen:  Make no mistake: this dude is tough.  I mean slap-you-in-the-mouth-and-steal-your-girl tough.  LOL, no.  His tough guy act is a farce to those of us who know this teddy bear, but nonetheless he's sticking to his guns for PCTI III, and for that I gotta give him some credit.  For his musical comparison, I went with someone puts up a nice badass front while being a big pu$$y in real life...even more fitting the video is edited.

Dr. Joe Thompson:  When you think Joe, the first thing that comes to mind is Colgate.  After that, it's humble.  This dude is so L.A. it hurts, and I wanted to capture that in his musical comparison.  The similarities are endless: both are L.A. til they die, both are newborn hipsters, both have IT band-itis, and both are former teenage heartthrobs that have the SAME NAME.  I mean, I can barely tell the two apart...

Scott Donley:  Last and least, Scotty 2 Hotty.  Kid was born and raised in the nitty gritty Natti, and his roots are nestled deep within the fibers of his soul.  I cannot confirm nor deny that he was actually born and raised there, but let's go with it for now.  He brings a ruggedness to this thing that you can't just pick up off the street.  He also brings a burning desire to compete for his guys and a yearning to see a battle to its bitter end...you can't coach that.  For Scotty's musical act, I wanted a group of tough guys that ran the streets of Cincy and know what it's like to make it out the hood.  Had these guys had the smarts to add a guy like Scott Donley to their group, who knows how hot these guys could have been (see what I did there?)

That concludes Part 1 of this super post.  Part 2 will be available in the next day or two.  For now, enjoy...
