I’m goin’ in to Sin City
I’m gonna win in Sin City
Where the lights are bright
Do the town tonight
I’m gonna win in Sin City
AC-DC – Sin City
…so said Uncle Scratch’s Gospel Revival Friday night (the quote in the title, not the song lyric). I thought it was a pretty funny line. Ruth bought us tickets to [...]

“First ten rows, class room seats
Dirty movies, twenty bucks a piece
You won’t regret it, Led Zeppelin IV
Another no show, the Gremlin roars
Don’t fear the reaper, lincoln surrenders
Jefferson, my little brother
Earth wind fire
Another f@#$in’ scalper, you owe me for this one
Another f@#$in’ scalper, you owe me for this one”
“Damone”, 16 , Zoloft Smile
Rant of the day…
I [...]

OMG it’s been along time since I last wrote here! Someone asked me the other day why I haven’t posted in so long, and my response was “dunno…just haven’t felt the muse, I guess”. Weak-sauce! So…time to post. Although…I can’t say as I have a whole lot to say. Not much is sticking in my [...]

A few things on my mind today:
Wayne Gretzky for commissioner. Why not? Chris Chelios suggested this like 3 years ago, and I don’t think I’ve heard anything about it since. Let’s look at the facts: A: Gretzky was and is probably the best ambassador hockey ever had. Perhaps [...]

Apparently Scott Weiland was once again arrested on a drug related charge. On Nov. 21 he crashed his car in Los Angeles, and refused to take a blood or urine test while acting all wacked out on the scooby snacks. This totally bums me out for some reason. It’s not that I was a huge [...]

Kevin Dubrow dead at 52…
I was surprised last night to hear “Metal Health: Bang Your Head” on the Fox Rock report; it’s not a “Mullet Madness Weekend” or anything…what the heck? It turns out they were playing it because earlier this week, Quiet Riot’s singer Kevin Dubrow was found dead. He apparently had been dead for several days [...]

I don’t know who’s worse…the judges or the contestants, but overall what a load of crap this show is. I watched last week and this week to see the 20 finalists, and I gotta say…if this is the best that America’s got to give on the talent side, I fear greatly for the artistic [...]

Shame on us, doomed from the start
May God have mercy on our dirty little hearts
Shame on us for all we have done
And all we are worth is just zeroes and ones
“Zero Sum” Year Zero
Over the past few albums Nine Inch Nails has gotten more and more rock and roll, and a little bit away [...]

While driving Ruth home from work the other day, the Rock Report guys on CFOX (the local rock station) was interviewing the bass player from Bad Religion and asked him who he’d put in the ultimate rock band, alive or dead. I liked his answers in a lot of cases, but it got me [...]

“It has to start somewhere, it has to start sometime
What better place than here? What better time than now?“
(Rage Against the Machine, Guerilla Radio)
So I haven’t written about it cuz last time I did so, it jinxed me. But I figure I’m solid now, so it’s ok. I’m 9 weeks on Wednesday without a cigarette!! [...]

“I wish I woulda met you,
but now it’s a little late.” Filter: “Hey Man Nice Shot”, Short Bus, EMI 1995
That song wasn’t actually written about Kurt Cobain, but I’ve always associated it to him. For 13 years now, April 5 has been a day of mild sadness for me. In the early 90’s Nevermind kind [...]

Isn’t it ironic? Dontcha think?
Ahhh Alanis Morrisette we love you, we really do. A parody of a song that in itself is probably a parody…does it make sense? In keeping with my theme from earlier in the week of putting up a real cool cover song… Posting this for my girlfriend Ruth cuz we were just talking yesterday about [...]

That (Annoying?) Vonage Song
One of the search terms to my blog the other day was “Who does the Vonage song?” So I figured I’d post it here. The Vonage song is called, interestingly enough “WooHoo” and it’s by a Japanese band called “The 5,6,7,8’s“. They are a 3 piece all girl band that plays [...]

“It makes no difference
If it’s sweet or hot
Just give that rhythm
Everything you’ve got
It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing
It don’t mean a thing all you got to do is sing” – Ella Fitzgerald and/or Duke Ellington (sorry not sure who wrote it, possibly the duke for the music and [...]

The Good:
1: I had said in my New Years’ resolution blog that I’d be quit smoking by the 15th. Well, today is the 15th and it’s day 3 without a cigarette. It hasn’t been especially difficult other than the odd moment where I get a massive urge to light one up…usually [...]

Every decade or so a CD comes out that kind of grabs a group of people and speaks so intimately to them it becomes a part of their souls. Won’t Get Fooled Again, Goat’s Head Soup, Revolver, Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, Led Zeppelin IV, The Joshua Tree, Appetite for Destruction, The [...]

…and I’m a Canadian, I had to dig thru all the fan vids for Wierd Al’s take on the song. The funniest thing about this song is that it’s way less offensive to Canadians than American Idiot should be to Americans… Anyways, after filtering thru a bunch of crap on U-Tube, this one is by [...]

Billy Talent is one of my guilty pleasures. I have both their Cd’s and think they’re a great bit of rock and roll. It’s loud, aggressive, and these guys are great live too. They are touring the north eastern US right now, and if you have a chance and are into punky pop, check it [...]

I picked up this CD on an impulse purchase the other day and I’ve listened to it a few times now. It’s really growing on me. I have always been a fan of somewhat self indulgent and probably over produced rock opera type of CD’s, and this one fits in pretty well. The one thing [...]

My Heavy Metal week
It’s been an oddly nostalgia ridden week and a half or so for ancient heavy metal and me. For some reason the 80’s has been reborn in media recently and it’s all landed in my vision this week. In 1983 while in High school I heard Motley Crue’s Shout at the Devil and became a [...]
