I can look back now and say I had a monsterous crush on a boy I’ll call Ben. We met our freshman year and kept in sporadic contact all of the way to graduation. He dated my best friend for a while. Hell, he was always dating someone. And why not? He was the lanky, [...]

Last time, I recall, I was sent “Rendezvous With Anus” by HIM by Sick. I never really got into HIM but I’m in love with this cover. Naranca sent me something by Amon Duul which was quite pleasant. There was another song that I don’t remember that I think had a season in the title [...]

Aloha, and fear not: there will be many more Totally True Tune Tales to come. Simply, one must come to the realization that even being all grandma-aged at 27, I simply could never spew 52 Tune Tales a year without running out of steam. So now, I’m switchin’ it up. While I still have fifty [...]

HOLY SHIT, I found a bootleg of the last Milwaukee Dream Theater show I went to! The one with shitty seating arrangements! The one where they actually played songs from Awake! It will be on my hard drive shortly! Good lord, how can a bootleg of that show sound any good? It was at the [...]

Review of the new God Lives Underwater disc. I just wrote the review before I went for my walk, actually. I just got back from my walk and listened to GLU’s Empty and Life In the So-Called Space Age. All in all, it’s not exactly the three happiest albums I’ve heard in my life, but [...]

You want the new Eminem album? It’s ALL OVER THE PLACE. He sampled Martika’s “Toy Soldiers.” I’m marking out like a bitch. Nate Dogg guests on a track. His voice makes me melt like few others. I’ll have to set it aside until I get back from working out. November is awesome, regardless of presidential [...]
