Ring ring…
Thursday, May 25th, 2006
After months, nay, years of searching for the perfect ringtone, I finally found one. Yes, I’m finally the proud owner of a Hedwig theme ringtone. It’s just a MIDI file, but it’s not too blaringly loud to give me a heart attack when it rings, but just enough to hear in a crowded room. It […]

I’ve been getting weekly e-mails from ticketmaster.com telling me who’s in concert around my area. Today’s subject was “Don’t miss Meat Loaf.” And you know, they’re right. I don’t.
Being hip…

While grabbing a much needed cup of coffee at Starbucks the other day, I noticed they were selling two CDs at the front counter - the multi-winning Grammy Ray Charles CD and a Nat King Cole compilation.
Nat King Cole?
Whoa! It’s hip to listen to Nat King Cole now! Wow, I was hip 20 years […]

CoolP3 Player
A 128mb MP3 player for kids! At around $30, I’m thinking about getting one. For my daughter. Not me. Really.
music prices…

So, while processing newspapers this morning, I came across an article about the record companies planning on raising the price of legal music downloads.
Now, I’m a recovering P2P user who have switched to legal downloads ever since my lovely other half bought me an iPod for Christmas. I’ve been using iTunes exclusively, but if […]

favorite lyrics of the week, um, part 2 :: Staind - Zoe Jane
[I just heard this song this morning on the ride to work, and nearly got teary-eyed. I believe it’s a song Aaron Lewis wrote for his new daughter, Zoe Jane. It’s pretty moving, along the lines of Creed’s With Arms Wide Open. ]
Well […]

True, true…so very true…
Blame Johnny Rotten. Back in the late ’70s, he declared that anyone could make a record.
Yes, anyone can make a record, but, for the love of God, not anyone should.
The airwaves are now chockablock with seething hordes of celebrity-seeking so-called pop singers, with not a decent songwriter among ‘em.
…from an article about […]

Get Your Biscuits In The Oven, And Your Buns In The Bed, If The Phone Doesn’t Ring, It’s Me , I Would Kiss You Through the Screendoor but It’d Strain Our Love, She Broke My Heart, I Broke Her Jaw, and other really bad country song titles.

favorite lyrics of the week:: Sponge - Treat Me Wrong - “…Sorry that you’re leavin’ / but I’m happy that you’re gone”
Amazingly enough, I couldn’t find the complete lyrics online. I’m losing my touch. And I’m way too lazy to transcribe it too.
