So, The Lizard Guy is a Good Guy or What?
What happens when you take The Dark Crystal, Star Wars, The Phantom Zone from Superman II, the post-apocalyptic world from Thundarr the Barbarian, and Crow T Robot’s older bartender brother, put them all in a blender, then spill them out over an 80′s dance pop number? You get this. Answers to questions I know you [...]
Romeo and Juliet and Stirrup Pants and High Heels
“Romeo and Juliet” is, for my money, Dire Strait’s best song and easily its worst video. Yes, I’m including the odd video for “Walk of Life” that, for some reason not indicated by the song itself, included baseball blooper clips. Seriously. If you can figure out how what’s happening in the video relates to the [...]
Bang the Drum Not At All Slowly
If you want to get a bunch of rock and roll fans into a knock-down, drag-out argument, just ask them who the greatest drummer who ever lived was. A line will be drawn between the John Bonham fans and the Neal Peart fans with a few folks staking out positions around Keith Moon and a [...]
How About A Wednesday Morning Acoustic Rock-Out
I’m in the mood for some music to get the blood pumping this morning. You? This is one of the best acoustic versions of a guitar rock song I’ve ever heard. It’s from a live convert the group did in England in, I believe, 1995. If you’re up for a challenge, hit the pause button [...]
Shake that Thang!
I’m headed out to a ballgame and won’t be back until early evening. As they don’t have free wi-fi at the park, there won’t be any blogging (I know. Awwwwwwwww). But I’ll leave you with one of the greatest dance songs ever recorded. And it’s live.
Let’s Take a Mid-Afternoon Music Break
It’s kind of a bleary, dreary day here and talking about politics all the time isn’t my idea of a lot of fun, so how about I break up the gloomy, fishy day with a little music? This is Stevie Ray Vaughan performing “Riviera Paradise” live. It’s not what you’d normally expect from SRV, but [...]
Yeah, I Know It’s Rob Thomas. It Still Rocks.
Jimi Hendrix would have approved. Approved? Hell, he would have grabbed up an axe and they would have gone on another ten minutes. And yes, I know that’s Rob Thomas, who I have thought physically incapable of rocking. I was wrong. He brings the voodoo better than anyone since Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan. The [...]
A Virtual Choir? Sure, Why Not?
I can honestly say I’ve never seen anything like this on the internet before. I’m not even a little bit surprised that it came from Eric Whitacre. That video is made up of 116 separate singers, who recorded their own part of the piece on their webcam and sent it to someone who synchronized them [...]
