New Supergroup

Today I heard about a new supergroup. I heard about it twice, and still am in awe of its awesomeness.

It has this guy, who is one of the coolest guys around:



This legendary bass player:



And this Hottie McHotterson:


Yeah, let that sink in.

Dave Grohl, John Paul Jones, and Josh Homme.

They won't have any music out until October, when their CD is due in stores. Cool thing is that they're playing a Lolla aftershow that goes on sale tomorrow. I wish I was going to see Them Crooked Vultures, but I am not that lucky.

Childhood-Related Music 2

When I was a wee one, I used to love this song and video:



Upon adult viewing, it's semi-creepy.

I heard this song on the radio yesterday. I still love the song, and I doubt that even in old age it will change. However, my feelings on the video have definitely changed.

I have been trying to see what I liked about it as a child, and I think I see the appeal. The talking/singing/moving animals. Who doesn't like that as a kid? Most every child has a stuffed animal they treasure (and probably talk to). There's nothing wrong with that. There is, however, something wrong when I look at it now. That moose head is kind of frightening. There's money spitting out from that old Norm Abram-made desk and George doesn't even flinch. I'm pretty sure that Paul got most of the money from the Beatles' tunes, so I would like to think that Mr. Harrison would be thrilled at bills being thrown at him. Maybe Paul was the one throwing? Who knows. (I tried to look closely, but had no luck.)

Let's focus on Harrison himself for a minute. I mean, he strums that guitar and stares DIRECTLY into the camera for about half of the video. He's not smiling, but he's not NOT smiling... Then he does the Tom Cruise "I'm in LOVE!" jump from the chair and does some sort of interpretive dance.

I do, however still love a few things from this said video. That dance may be silly, but I still love it. The mullet is sweet. And that squirrel that plays a pipe for a saxophone is just impressive.

Wow

This song is awesome, and the video is cool too. And, since I've already been rocking out to it all day, you guys need to watch it now. Besides, who doesn't like Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins?

Something to Smile (Especially for Roxanne!)

Today I think I just needed something to make me smile. Having this song suffle itself onto my iPod was great.

This video has so much I don't know where to start. Some things I love, some I hate. But SLJ is awesome no matter what. Enjoy!

it's hot in my apartment, and I keep wanting to sing this:

Childhood-Related Music

Just the other day, I was thinking of the weird things I liked musically when I was a child. I'm sure this list is incomplete, but take it for what it's worth.

Huey Lewis and the News' "Hip To Be Square"
I owned Fore! on tape. I don't know why I liked this. Someone please inform me.

The video for Aerosmith's "Janie's Got a Gun"
Hey, I have always owned up to the fact that my family has always watched Cops. I think this video ties into that theory. Lots of bright, flashing lights. And scarves.

Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire"
What an awful song when I listen to it now. But when I was a child, I absolutely LOVED it. I had this single on tape for sure.

The video for George Harrison's "Got My Mind Set On You"
Confession: I still love this song. And video. It is just really... animated. A lot of fun to watch. I know at one point in time I actually taped it off MTV to have a copy of it. Lord only knows what happened to it.

Anything Roxette or Debbie Gibson.
I had everything Debbie Gibson: dolls, perfume, music. She had a lot of crap, as did I because she sold it. And Roxette was kinda creepy.

Wham!'s "Wake Me Up (Before You Go Go)"
It's still good. So shut up.

Tag Team's "Whoop (There It Is)"
I have a problem with this. I am in shock that my parents let us listen to it. In fact, there's a tape relating to this song that exists that would be great blackmail if only it could be found... But I'm pretty sure it was taped over long ago. This song is disgusting. Seriously.

The Spin Doctor's "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong"
How great were they? Answer: Very.

Rage's Evil Empire
Also, no one should have let me purchase this CD. But somewhere, someone did. Which is really sweet looking back.

Obviously, with this list, someone should have been keeping an eye on me. Keep in mind this is from birth to 6th grade... perhaps one day I'll think of what I liked in junior high.

What were the peculiar things you liked as a child?
