I was watching VH1 Classic today and I wondered… in the ’90s, there were a lot of retro ’70s bands that got somewhat popular, like The Black Crowes and Phish and Lenny Kravitz. Were in the ’00s and all I really want is a retro ’80s band. I guess one could argue that a lot [...]

Second time my misheard lyrics calendar has been funny so far this year. Nine Inch Nails: Down In It Correct Lyric: I was up above it Misheard Lyric: I was on the Muppets :)

I get really personally offended when I tell someone that they *need* to download a song and they don’t, or I send them a song and they don’t listen to it. People that know me KNOW that my entire life is explained by music and my music choices, and if I think someone needs to [...]

Sometime soon, I do believe I am heading up to the attic to find my Magical Musical Thing, my most favoritest toy of all time. And it damned sure better still work. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, the description from Inthe80s.com is: Magical Musical Thing Cross between a keyboard and an [...]

I just finished my mother’s day present for my mom. Cuz, you know, I’m broke on my ass, so I had to make something. Sure, she offered to take both me and my brother out shopping to buy her stuff, but that still doesn’t mean I can afford it. My brother can, though. He can [...]

I must remark that yesterday, I saw two of the most hilarious things on television that I’d ever seen: 1. On VH1′s top 100 one hit wonders of all time: VH1 always has those celebrity tidbits where they recall bits and pieces of memories of times gone by or whatever anything has to do with [...]

I feel I can stand tall and say that out of most of the “hair band” scene, Skid Row definitely shouldn’t have been classified as they were (despite “18 and Life” and “I Remember You”). The songwriting got so much better with the next two albums (if you ignore anything Sebastian Bach claims he wrote, [...]

You know you’ve been listening to too much prog when your mp3 player starts skipping but you don’t even blink, thinking it’s a change in time signature and fast stop-starts. MUSIC GEEK POWER!
