cover of the rolling stone
I’m of the mindset that musical artists have a responsibility to maintain some level of separation from other musical artists. I mean, it’s ok to do a mash up or feature another artist on a song or two, but when that influence changes the landscape of one artist’s music forever? A fan has to draw […]
i hate everything about you
There was a time, perhaps 10 years ago, that Madonna was relevant. While anyone with half a brain has since stopped paying attention to that rancid bag of wind, for some reason she continues to fight tooth and nail against the ravages of time and fame. I don’t think I am in the minority believing […]
jane says
[xspf]_start(FALSE, ‘order=5′)[/xspf] Few songs have meant as much to me as the 1988 Jane’s Addiction anthem, Jane Says. Apparently I am not the only one who likes that song. In fact, in the first six months of 2001, it was broadcast more than 12,000 times, according to Mediabase, a company that monitors radio airplay. Despite […]
music for the masses
Many of you are probably unaware how much music influences my daily life. I wake in the morning and before I even rub the goo out of my eyes, I have music setting the tone for the day. Most often, it is so I can generate the motivation to walk the 25 feet into my […]
rock and roll high school
Taking my cue from Chai & Apple Pie, I thought I’d write a post about music. I’ve attended a lot of concerts in my day… the following is the list of all the bands i’ve seen perform live… well, a list of all the bands I remember seeing anyway. Oingo Boingo (35x) Nine Inch Nails […]
crazy
I want to introduce you to the next big thing… maybe you’ve heard of them… maybe you haven’t. I live on a volcanic rock in the middle of the pacific ocean so I rarely get news before most of you. Chances are I’m late on this, but I’m holding out hope that I’m one step […]
(I’m Not Your) Steppin’ Stone
There is nothing worse than a hypocrite… someone, or some group for that matter, that preaches one thing, then practices something else. Rock & Roll stars are possibly the biggest hypocrites this side of televangelists and that is one of the reasons why I think the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is a joke. […]
waiting for the night
I will, if asked, by you my adoring bloggaratti (ED. NOTE: it means fellow bloggers), burn a custom CD for your listening pleasure… I will fill said CD with the music I think you should listen to as it is often the music I have on in the background as I peruse your website. This […]
keep on rocking in the free world
You know something that I can’t get my head around? Dumb fuckers who are buzz killers. I know, kind of vague, but I didn’t want to miss anyone. Here are the dumb fuckers who I would slap the shit out of if I was ever presented with the opportunity… 10. Anyone who throws pies as […]
whole lotta rosie
[xspf]_start(FALSE, ‘order=11’)[/xspf] There are few things that are as infuriating as overcomplicated something that is supposed to be simple. A case in point is Microsoft’s attempt to simplify the use of usernames and passwords for both your own network and the web. Lets say you use Internet Explorer to access a webpage that has a […]
