the one with all the stuff

Wednesday, February 21st, 2007

so…according to a piece of spam I received in the wee hours of the morning, 4GB might be Vista’s RAM sweet spot.
Awesome! If I’m ever seducing Vista’s RAM (or it’s sheep, or cow, for that matter) I will have a gameplan!
Who says spam is all bad?
Actually, I think that goes against one of the lesser […]

the one where I’ve got you in a stranglehold

Friday, January 5th, 2007

so…I am not a violent person.
That being said, I’d love to see “Stranglehold”-era Ted Nugent kick Damn Yankees-”High Enough”-era Ted Nugent’s ass.

the one where hell froze over

Thursday, January 4th, 2007

so…I have a problem with the ever-sliding definition of “classic rock” — more on this at a later date and time.
I just want to state, for the record, that at no time will Extreme’s “Hole Hearted” be classic rock!
A classic piece of crap, maybe, but classic rock? No.

the one where I say funk that

Friday, December 8th, 2006

so…
Question: why is that every time I turn on the radio, I hear the same five songs 15 times a day for three months? Maaaannn! Funk That!

Monday Morning Quarter-in-the-Jukebox: just like crazy otto, just like wolfman jack

Wednesday, December 6th, 2006

so…in our neighborhood, all of the houses are separated by a two-car driveway. Our neighbors to the right are amazing cooks. And they have an amazing ventilation system in the kitchen:
My living room smells like bacon!
From their house!
With all the windows closed!
(nobody said it had anything to do with the music below…enjoy)
Al DiMeola, […]

the one where I say hi to all those James Blunt fans

Sunday, December 3rd, 2006

so…in light of my post this morning where I pondered the cruelty of James Blunt:
And, would James Blunt’s music suck any less if his testicals ever dropped?
Why am I being subjected to this? I don’t think there is an hour of the day that would make this sound good.
My first thought, well, second thought after […]

the one where my mp3 player gets a sense of humor

Wednesday, November 29th, 2006

so…every so often my mp3 player will play a couple songs back-to-back while on shuffle that make me wonder if it has some artificial intelligence, like playing Pink Floyd’s “Brain Damage” and “Eclipse” together.
well…today it decided to play Dar William’s “I Won’t Be Your Yoko Ono,” followed by The Beatles’ “Come Together.”
Tomorrow, it’s going to […]

Monday Morning Quarter-in-the-Jukebox: I really don’t know what time it was

Tuesday, November 28th, 2006

so…it’s been some time, but Druzba dusted his jukebox off, so…
…but, before I continue: there are too few cultural references to the Kevin Bacon movie “Quicksilver”. Come on! Laurence Fishburne, Louie Anderson, a couple characters named “Cha Cha” and “Spider”, and Paul Rodriguez with a hot dog cart: now that’s some quality entertainment — the […]

the one where I insult some Canadians

Tuesday, November 14th, 2006

so…Erika has made zero attempt to hide her questionable music tastes — we all have our skeletons and we all dance them out into the living room when no one is home…I don’t, but…
One of Erika’s weaknesses is Canadian pop-rockers: Maroon 5, Jars of Clay, Carbon Leaf, Gavin DeGraw.
I know, I know…but, they’re not from […]
