Rock and Roll Nightmare (a music meme tag thing)

I did this on Facebook, but I know most of you probably don’t even know I have a FB let alone look at it, I’ll torture you with it here as well. I tagged a bunch of FB people but, as usual, if you are reading this, consider yourself tagged. Also, these things are kind [...]

deck the halls with music reviews and zombies

Been playing Left 4 Dead so much that I have neglected to put up any Christmas decorations this weekend, as I told myself – and my kids – I would. My kids said they are taking our Xbox away unless we get our priorities straight. I’m blaming Todd. It’s always “one more level, please one [...]

in which i go on a ridiculous hunt to find the best song of the 80′s (updated with some of mine)

That list got me thinking. First, yea, those are some crappy songs. And it was torturous in a waterboard kind of way to expect any of you to go through that list and pick out favorites. It’s like asking people to choose their favorite Ernest* movie. The other thing I got to thinking about (at [...]

8 musical questions

Here’s a fun little thing to try. It’s one of those musical question things that all the kids seem to like so much. Well, I don’t know about this one. Let’s give it a try. Because it’s late and I don’t have anything else ready to write today. Musical memes are the lazy man’s blogging [...]

i used to love you, now i want to kill you

I was going to write yet another thing about Halloween and then offer up a download of the song Halloween by the Misfits, but they are just one of those bands that I never bothered ripping the discs of when I got the new hard drive. I don’t know what happened. I used to love [...]

lazy blogging music thingie, volume 2

I stole this from Sheila. What music are you currently grooving to? I’m currently stuck on three things: Clutch’s Blast Tyrant, Chamillionaire’s Ultimate Victory and Beck’s GameBoy Variations. Here’s Beck’s “GameBoy/Homeboy” [Que' Onda Guero], remixed by the band 8-bit, using sounds from a GameBoy. Very cool stuff. “Top 25 Most Played Songs on iPod”I have [...]

won’t you take me to spooky town (the sort of annual halloween CD mix thing)

Spooky Town (and we do need a better name for it, rather than the ™ name) is about 3/4 done. Once we get it in the window we are going to need a soundtrack for it. Sure, a lot of these houses and stuff make noises, but what would a Halloween be without my “suggest [...]
