I must also mention that I got way too fired up over a WTD thread regarding what is and what is not metal. It started out fun, really (and parts of it continued to be quite amusing), but then one guy really seemed to take his metal cliches to the heart and outright lambasted anyone [...]

Oh, the HAPPINESS in my world today! I got a Chroma Key newsletter in my inbox. Just a couple of weeks after Tanya and I discussed what the hell was going on with my dearly beloved Kevin Moore, he pops up with all of the information we were looking for. For anyone who is not [...]

I convinced Sarah that she NEEDED to see Purple Rain. I told her right from the start that it’s not a very good movie to say the least, but it’s just plain required watching. I pulled out my ancient dubbed copy and we enjoyed that which is Wendy & Lisa, Apollonia’s boobs, and Morris Day [...]

Well, I finally decided to start buying up my wish list. I didn’t really have the $100 to spare, but eh, it’s my easter present from me to me. I needed the extra TLC. So I nabbed myself a bunch of my music encyclopedic and history/critical type books: The Mojo Collection: The Ultimate Music Companion: [...]

Perhaps it should disturb me more that I put 2 Live Crew’s Greatest Hits on pause to talk on the phone to my grandma. Ahhahah though, this so takes me back to junior high. I remember hearing Fuck Shop for the first time and running to my albums to throw on Van Halen to hear [...]

2Pac story: when I was in high school, I would eat lunch with this girl Kristen at my table. Kristen was a very nice girl, very pretty with large eyes, but she was kind of a dip. I remember her dilemma when she scored a 15 or 16 on her ACTs (for those who aren’t [...]

I’ve noticed something that I’ve found odd. Dream Theater fans tend to affix themselves to one particular member of the group whom they find particularly incredible (usually Petrucci or Portnoy, although sometimes Myung, and the occasional fevered who-was-the-best-keys-player debate). In fact, I seem to notice that if any DT fans find fault in the band, [...]

It’s readily obvious to pretty much anyone who takes notice that I listen to a little smattering of everything when it comes to the world of music, with some exceptional depth in particular genres, but nonetheless a big giant slab of miscellaneous. But enough about me — what about my family members, the people I [...]

1. Judas Priest: Hell Bent For Leather (deliverin’ the GOODS!) 2. Tommy Lee: Never a Dull Moment (oh, this oughtta be amusing) 3. 2Pac: Me Against The World (he’s gonna win some award for most posthumous albums, just you wait) 4. The Project Hate MCMXCIX: Cyber Sonic Super Christ (it took me far too long [...]

I must include my happiness with the Tara Kemp cd I got on eBay for megacheap. I swear, sometimes I surprise myself with what I like vs. what I dislike. Why do I absolutely adore Tara but would rather set myself on fire than listen to similar artists like Taylor Dayne or Pebbles? I mean, [...]
