I had to take a detour on the way to work today, because of the unpredictable Atlanta traffic practically shutting down 85N. I was sitting still on the exit from 20E, and I thought, “self, let’s just go down to University, and then pop back up Boulevard”. Well, low and behold, during my little detour, [...]

5SF: april 11 - bad movie soundtrack edition!
Published by April 11th, 2008 in five song friday, listen up!, mixed media, movie musings, music musings and music suggestion. 1 CommentToday, I decided to switch things up a bit, and do a themed five song Friday for fun.

Published by April 4th, 2008 in five song friday, listen up!, mixed media, music musings and music suggestion. 5 CommentsI still can’t believe it’s already April!

Excited, I ran out and got the game for my Xbox 360, because as a major fan of the Guitar Hero franchise, I reveled the chance to have some new, better songs [...]

Holy shit, this week has flown by, and thank goodness too… I am so looking forward to the weekend! This week has a bunch of pretty mellow stuff for whatever reason, and the “flashback” song is one of those instances where I love the song, and think that it is incredible, but don’t [...]
imitation, the sincerest form of flattery?
Published by March 27th, 2008 in hmm interesting, is it just me?, listen up!, mixed media, music musings and wtf?!. 2 CommentsI was reading one of my many music blogs this afternoon, when I happened upon the following music clip (via discopop directory):
