I run a site about one of the most classic heavy metal bands there is. I do work for some metal musicians. Yet, this artist still intrigues me. No idea why, but this song really hooked me. It’s “Hung Up” by Madonna from her “Confessions on Dance Floor” album.  Perhaps it was the Abba riff? […]

Weird Al Yankovic has a new album coming out next week (Sep 26) entitled “Straight Outta Lynwood“. As usual, he’s hit a home run with the first single from the album. This is “White & Nerdy”, which is a parody of the song “Ridin’” by Chamillionaire (. I’ve been listening to Weird Al since his […]

I remember now. I remember how it started. I can’t remember yesterday, I just remember doing what they told me. April 4th – it’s coming! And I can’t wait. I’ve been waiting for this album to be released since 1988 when the original came out. Also, Ronnie James Dio is Dr X – that’s so cool, […]

There’s a new David Gilmour album coming out in 2006. It’s going to be called “On an Island”. It’s been 21 years since Gilmour last released a solo album, and 11 since the last Pink Floyd studio album, so this is very welcome news. I don’t know anything more about it other than it’s title […]

The Beatles are founding fathers of music, and they deserve some respect for that. However, U2 has been more solid over a far longer period of time releasing NEW MUSIC. Yeah, the Beatles have been around for a far longer number of years, but put together the years they were together, and compare it to […]

Read this and weep. It’s scary how nonsensical the MPAA is. These people need to go away. I’m not advocating anarchy and no control, but if you read through all of what I link to above, it’s scary. Spend some time and read this. It made me so mad, I can’t say anything about it, […]

Since I’ve become a father, I’ve spent a lot of time lost in my own memories of my childhood. Most of it is good, and I attribute that to the care and guidance I received from my mother. What I remember that isn’t good is mostly attributable to the fact that I didn’t have a […]

I’ve been a Pink Floyd fan for a very long time. I bought the Wall when it was new, which was right around the time I started High School. As a kid when this was new, that album was very influential in my musical landscape. I’d heard of Pink Floyd before, but it wasn’t until […]

Uh, what’s with Eddie Van Halen’s hair? http://www.vhnd.com/articles/040603-01.shtml (More pictures here)

Radio sucks. I don’t like it. I prefer to listen to my own CD’s. I’d have an iPod, but for the amount of music I have, I’d need the biggest one, and I can’t afford that. What I’m about to write here further puts me in the “radio sucks” camp. When I do listen to […]
