If you listen to music on YouTube, no doubt you’ve heard of the “VEVO” channels used by the major record labels. However, if you listen to non-dance, non-soft-rock, or older music, you probably wonder why VEVO channels’ “Related Videos” are anything but related. You may put on some Alice in Chains or Nirvana, but be [...]

Looping the same few seconds over and over, with repeated buffering notices in between. 23 people are supposedly listening, but it’s totally screwed up. No other Shoutcast radio station, including those of the same bandwidth, is giving me probs. It’s a real shame, haven’t listened to that station (KQLZ Pirate Radio) in a long time. [...]

Diablo II is getting tough. Any possibility of addiction is not coming true. The shoutbox breaks the Cynthia Says compliance, so this page is no longer compliant with those standards and the button has been removed. The tapes are all backed up. They rock.

Sorry for the lack of updates. A few weeks ago, I won a lot of 20 tapes off eBay, and I’m about halfway done backing them up to my computer, holding the seller off on a rating. So far all work and great music. The tapes are various obscure and popular 80s pop-metal and pop-rock [...]

There were actually 3 parts to the review I posted yesterday, I only put up Part 2. Here are all 3. Apparently Warner fucks are roughing up minors again, so #3 might get “muted” in its entirety for a Whitesnake clip in the credits (it is muted on other usernames). (Click here for the previous [...]

I haven’t written here in a while, been busy. Slackware is back on my machine. I remember someone years ago in a chat room saying that “Slackware eats your soul” and it does. Yet I can’t stand the “easier” ones – I always come back to Slackware. Using the 64-bit version, which gives me more [...]

AOL’s metal/hard-rock site Noisecreep released “Best Songs of the 2000s” (click here to see) I think the choices are based on the band more than the song, but check it out anyway.
