After not having created a podcast music mix in a long time, I got the hankering to do so this week. I had all these perfect songs in my head and as I put it together, noticed that they all fit together quite [...]

Shame On You: Music Critics
Wow! A couple recent reviews are really helping to reinforce the fact that music is purely subjective and that there is a huge difference between a good music critic and a bad one.

Random Tube: Good Will F*cking
Last night on Jimmy Kimmel’s post-Oscar show, Jimmy fought back against his loved one, Sarah Silverman, who a couple months ago revealed to Jimmy on his show via a hilarious music video that she was fucking Matt Damon. The hilarious video was then seen by millions more viewers via YouTube.
So last night Jimmy struck [...]

The Case for (Phil) Collins: Chicago Edition
All right, we all knew this was coming, after the ‘Stay The Night‘ rape-song post. It’s the Chicago Edition of The Case for (Phil) Collins! Now we all know that Chicago has made some cheesy music as most all of us were conscious during the 80’s (’You’re the Inspiration’, ‘Hard Habit To Break’), and [...]

Wow, I just found a MAJOR wrong answer in the Rock Trivia deck with this one:

Blog Jammin’: Parody Guitar Videos Banned from YouTube
I just got an email from Chippy B with a link to some guitar heroics that you’ve got to see for yourself. Here’s Chippy’s email:
In case you haven’t seen these, some dude took actual rock concert footage and overdubbed himself playing really amateurish guitar. It’s pretty hilarious to see Carlos Santana jamming on [...]

Well, let me explain this before you do something drastic and decide to never frequent this blog ever again.

Sh*t L*sts: Live Album Style
I’ve been finding myself more and more drawn to live albums these days, it seems. I’ve always been more into the well-executed studio stuff, at least most of my life. I think it’s just harder to pull off the perfect live album: so many of them are just blah. But I’ve found myself [...]
