Day 12 - A Song From A Band You Hate

GOD I HATE BOY BANDS... Sorry, I just had to start off with that. I hate N'Sync a lot. Sorry, Timberlake but you've done a lot of damage. More than you can ever imagine. Seriously... You helped ruin Duran Duran with your cancerous plans in "Red Carpet Massacre." I really despise your music. 

So with that, I hate N'Sync and "Bye Bye Bye" comes into my mind as a horrible song that they have created. So I decide to spare you all by not having you hear that song by picking Further Seems Forever's great cover of a horrible song.

Day 11 - A Song From Your Favorite Band

I have way too many favorite bands to pick from so naming one from my favorite band is really like asking me to pick a song from one of my favorite bands... The Airborne Toxic Event has covered a couple of great bands and has clearly been influenced by some of my favorite bands. I guess, because of that, I can justify them as a favorite band...

Day 10 - A Song That Makes You Fall Asleep

The girl I am seeing has me watching the TV series "Bones." We just hit the episode "The Salt In The Wounds" and this song was playing. It's so peaceful with the acoustics. I haven't heard guitar like this in a while.

Mattel, are you listening?

I posed this on Matty's forum here:

Alright, Matty. You've given us a really cool Ecto-1 Exclusive by finally getting us the Rookie. Props for adding on the trap and some other equipment to the tool belt too. But I want to see the Female Rookie from the stylized version made. Ok, so it's going to be a whole new sculpt? I got that. But I can think of four easy uses of this sculpt.

#1 - The Video Game Rookie (Female)

#2 - Real Ghostbusters Janine  - Won't need Annie Potts' permission

#3 - From IDW's Ghostbusters series, the half-sister of Gozer... Rachel Unglighter

#4 - Extreme Ghostbusters Kylie (Stylized by IDW's Ghostbusters Tristan Jones)

Day 09 - A Song That You Can Dance To

I think this song really sums it up for me...

Captain America Review

I saw Captain America the day it came out, and I was pretty impressed. Before I saw it, I was expecting an ok marvel superhero movie. Admit it, without a good Captain America movie, The Avengers movie would be doomed to fail. How could you base an Avengers movie off a bad Captain America movie? Well, marvel accomplished the task very well. The movie didn’t have the most recognizable talent, other than Tommy Lee Jones and Hugo Weaving. Another reason why the movie didn’t seem like it was going to be great.

Well readers, I’ve got some news to give you. Captain America may be the best movie this summer. There, I said it. The acting was great, the story impressive. It had good action scenes. I’m not a huge comic book reader, I know very little of the story according to the comics but it seemed to follow it well from what I know. I’d say it gets four out of five stars. It was very well done, and will lead very well into the movie we are all waiting for, The Avengers in 2012. By the way, stay after the credits. You’ll thank me later!

Day 08 - A Song That You Know All The Words To

Oingo Boingo's "Deadman's Party" is one of the best examples of a song that is a cult classic; and yes, I know all the lyrics to it.

Day 07 - A Song That Reminds You of a Certain Event

Summer of 2008. North Jersey. I was working for Apple and we had what was called C.O.R.E. training. We were opening up a new retail and repair center in Wayne, NJ. There was a lot of new recruits and one of them was an elder gentleman who was really big into Alphaville. 

Day 06 - A Song That Reminds You of Somewhere

"Tidal Wave" by Longwave is definitely a memory from Philadelphia. It was 2009 when I saw them perform this song live when they opened up for OkGo. 

30 Day Song Challenge: Day 05 -A Song That Reminds You of Someone

Many bands and many songs come to mind with this posed challenge to me. Many of these bands arise like gladiators in the arena to come forward. The one that holds the championship for this glorious title is perhaps one of the saddest songs that I know of. Seriously, this song should have been the song for Day 04. Truth be told that this song was a formidable pick for yesterday but I decided to not use it so easily when this challenge would clearly justify this picking. This song is, "Hear You Me" by Jimmy Eat World.

Friday's Fun Photos!

Really not the greatest post but this is how I spent my night... Well, a part of it... at least...

30 Day Song Challenge: Day 04 - A Song That Makes You Sad

"Well I'd like to think i'm the mess you'd wear with pride. Like some empty dress on the bed you've layed out for tonight." That's just the opening lyrics for the song that makes me sad. It really does  because the band, Band of Horses, has an amazing set of vocals and instruments paired together. So what song is it? "I Go To The Barn Because I Like The." 


Now the title itself makes little sense by itself; even with the lyrics and the song it makes no sense. But look at it as this: I Go To The Barn Because I Like The - Band Of Horses. 


I first heard this song while watching Psych. 

30 Day Song Challenge: Day 03 - A Song That Makes You Happy

Ok, so I know that M.I.A. is influenced by Joe Strummer and The Clash, yet I hate M.I.A. Seriously, I get sick every time I hear her music. BUT... I love The Clash. As mentioned with my favorite song in Day 01 of this challenge. 

So what song makes me happy? Let's go with Mick Jones; retired from The Clash. But... his new band; Carbon Silicon. What song? The News! 

Captain America!

Just for those of you who don't know, Captain America comes out tonight!

Check your local theater for times and showings!
