So Much More Than A Kid’s Chorus

You were excited when Phoenix’s last album, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, came out, weren’t you? (If you weren’t, you should have been, and if you just go become obsessed with it now, no one will be the wiser.) You didn’t think their music could possibly get any better. Hey, they probably didn’t think their music could get any better.

And then it did.

And then go check out these guys’ website and become obsessed with them too. Maybe read the article where the awestruck Phoenix band members said this video “would… bring a tear to the eye of an SS officer.” I love these guys.

Glee…on stage?

I hope you all watch Glee, and are similarly suffering through the long wait until it’s back on air, because then you will understand exactly why I want tickets to this. Too bad I’m too broke to afford it. If someone goes, please take pictures.

Bad Pop Wednesdays

It’s a well known fact that I have hundreds of bad Japanese pop songs in my music library to compliment other thousands of types of bad pop songs residing there. One of the best things about Jpop tends to be the ridiculous videos. And thus, I share one with you today to get you past humpday.

It’s only rock’n'roll but I like it

Lars Ulrich’s son plays Guitar Hero. I find this both really, really cool and kind of sad. I mean, how awesome would it be to have members of Metallica shredding on your video game with you (even if you do just consider them to be dad’s crazy friends since you’re only 10)? Still, wouldn’t it be cooler to be shredding on Hetfield or Hammett’s REAL guitars?
