Ian suggested I rank the "top ten Japanese albums" for my next installment of the Friday Top Ten franchise. That's right, it's a franchise now. As far as I know you don't have to do more than two or three of something in order to make it a franchise. They call the Twilight movies a franchise and there are only three of them. I've written nearly 200 top ten lists, I'd say that's a god damned franchise, wouldn't you? Anyway, I thought that Ian had a good idea, but there are so many different kinds of Japanese music, [...]
I forgot to blog yesterday. Too much happened. So I'm back-dating this entry to Sunday Night because...oh, if only my night had gone well enough for me to get this thing done. I keep repeating the words from that Partridge Family song "C'mon, Get Happy" but instead of the traditional lyrics I've been substituting my own version: Trav'lin' along there's a song that I'm singin' / "C'mon get depressed" That said, here's your mix tape. RULES for uninitiated noobs : With roughly 100MB of webspace, I give birth [...]
RULES for uninitiated noobs : With 100MB of webspace, I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or Zunes or Kingklangs or whatever the industry is currently pushing on you. Sometimes there will be themes that link all the songs together, other times I'll just throw songs at a wall (not literally) and see what sticks. This week's theme is sleeplessness, because I have not been sleeping well the past three nights. Stress at work and stress at home, plus Nicci's being away for the week, has really taken its toll on me. So, [...]
In a move reminiscent of, well, just a couple months ago, I drank way too much last night. Lauren and Nick extended a very nice invitation to eat some of their fancy vegan food last night, and since I'm not one to turn down free anything, Nicci and I happily accepted a fine array of pasta, kale, beets, salad, asparagus, mushrooms and fancy olive-packed bread into our bellies. Also, I had a couple Knob Creek drinks, including one which was magically transformed into a mint julep! Before leaving, I grabbed a plastic cup and poured some more Knob into it [...]
- Apparent "Indie" band Smashing Pumpkins have a new album on the horizon, with a release date scheduled for next Tuesday the 17th. Although it's not really Smashing Pumpkins. I mean, Billy might as well have called this band Zwan and it would have made as much sense. The only difference is, he'll sell a few more albums due to brand recognition, and probably play larger venues due to idiots wanting to hear "the classics." Sorry, that's an indefensible position to take, Smashing Pumpkins concertgoers. You're going to line the pockets of a guy who is clearly on his last [...]
