Stone Temple Pilots: Yet Another Victim of Classic Rock Radio

Saturday, August 21st, 2010

I’ve mentioned previously on this blog the treatment of the band Bush based entirely upon their radio hits. Now it appears the same thing is occurring with STP. This band has existed since 1992 (1991 if you count the non-grunge Mighty Joe Young demo material) Stone Temple Pilots – Fast As I Can (Mighty Joe [...]

Beautiful song by a great band, but you do NOT want it stuck in your head before spending the evening at a barbecue!

Amazing HD Quality Evanescence Video

Monday, February 1st, 2010

I know it is unusual to pick out a single music video in the modern HD world, but I was just way too impressed by the HD quality on Evanescence’s “Good Enough” video as uploaded by AmyLeeRocks4EverHD: Video embedded on xcopfly.com

Breathe…

There’s a song I like to listen to called “Please” by Nine Inch Nails. The chorus comes in with a sharp buzz (including his screechy voice), like a surge of electricity. Every time I hear it, I can feel that I’m inhaling my second wind on a day in high school when I was heavily [...]

Tool’s Maynard James Keenan, NIN’s Danny Lohner, with Milla Jovovich rapping

Friday, December 11th, 2009

Neat video from YouTube. Haven’t followed Tool or NIN in a while, but apparently Maynard James Keenan goes by “Puscifer” now and Danny Lohner uses “Renholder” (this was also a Perfect Circle song about him). Puscifer – The Mission A live version is also available on YouTube: Puscifer – The Mission (Live)

Why does everyone hate this album but me?

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

Bush’s Razorblade Suitcase is always criticized and shit on. Their first album, Sixteen Stone, which contains all their classic rock radio hits, was criticized for being a set-up corporate ripoff of then-deceased Nirvana. (And while we all love the hits, it isn’t anything special. I have it.) So for their next album, Razorblade Suitcase, Bush [...]

Top 5 Fatally Catchy Songs

Sunday, September 27th, 2009

Before music and the computer got together, songs would be in your head all day long. One time in 4th grade (1994) I went on a camping trip and as there was no radio there, a Madonna song from the radio on the car was stuck in my head the entire three days I was [...]
