Baby Poop That Is–The Worst Kind
A few years ago one of my friends was waiting on his wife to get ready for a Christmas party we were both attending and, undoubtedly, enjoying a few cool beverages. He passed the time by putting together a mix CD for me. I never told anybody about all the beautiful love songs he included [...]
Yahoo! Music Store Closing
You know all those songs you “bought” through Yahoo!? Turns out you were just renting. After September 30, 2008, you will not be able to transfer songs to unauthorized computers or re-license these songs after changing operating systems. Please note that your purchased tracks will generally continue to play on your existing authorized computers unless [...]
Back When There Was Some Good Music
I’m away (far away) and had to set this post to publish ahead of time. Badass, huh? Do you remember seeing this video and thinking how cool U2 was? I was watching a special on VH1 Classic about classic albums and they covered The Joshua Tree. It was a pretty cool show because they intereviewed [...]
T Minus Eleven Days
Until Rock Band for Wii is released. I’m so looking forward to the hours I’m sure to lose learning to play the drums. I’ve been getting amped up for this release by watching guys who are good at it play on YouTube–the ultimate in dorkdom. I’ve always heard that Neil Peart of Rush is an [...]
Everything I Need To Know I Learned From Hip Hop
The sad thing is, this isn’t really hip hop, and that’s at least one side of the point of this clip. As the “rapper” states at the beginning of the song, there’s no way to go platinum doing songs with hooks and concepts. I was listening to the Old School Rap channel on cable the [...]
Life Changing Event Today
I played Rock Band. Yeah, I’m old…didn’t even know this game existed, or didn’t pay attention when I saw something about it. Either way, this game rocks. I’ve never understood Guitar Hero. Even my buddy who introduced me to Rock Band says Guitar Hero is boring. I can play a little bit, so it never [...]
Pandora Online Radio–It Rocks
It’s free. No really, it’s completely free. I’ve been using Pandora internet radio for a couple of weeks now. I hesitated to mention it here because I was afraid that by “free” they meant “free to register” or “free for a little while.” Nope–it’s seriously free. It’s good too, and has one of the coolest [...]
Sundown in the City Explained
If you aren’t local to Knoxville, you probably haven’t heard of Sundown in the City. If you are local to Knoxville and haven’t heard of Sundown in the City, I’d make the case that you aren’t really local. The quick skinny is this–it’s a series of outdoor concerts held downtown that features acts that are [...]
5 Reasons Bret Michaels is the Lamest “Rock Star” Ever
I remember when Poison was really popular and I thought they were stupid. Mostly it was because I was a music snob back then, but a lot of it had to do with the fact that they just sucked. Now we have Rock Of Love, and honestly, I can think of 5 people I know [...]
Time For SNL To Get Beat Down By the Hansons
A couple of weeks ago I watched Saturday Night Live for the first time in a long time. It was the first show after the writers’ strike ended, and Tina Fey was hosting. It was one of the best episodes I’ve ever seen. I didn’t get to see last week’s episode, but I started watching [...]
