DUDE!!!  This is a great album and I haven't listened to it in a long time. True story: My wife and I traveled to San Francisco several years ago. We went in Amoeba Records around Haight/Ashbury and Grandaddy just happened to be doing a store performance.

That's a great story, talk about great luck. I just remember sitting behind a desk working and hearing AM180 come on the radio and thinking what a great song. Also catching the video on MTV2 of Summer Here Kids. That one scares my wife

When I went out to San Francisco that year, I was really getting into The Handsome Family and went to Amoeba to find some CDs. I remember buying "Through the Trees" and "Milk and Scissors."

What to hear a scary song?


The guy my wife and I stayed with is an old friend of hers from high school and a big audiophile as well. I came out of that trip with some great pickups like Joanna Newsom's "Milk-eyed Mender" and much greater appreciation for The Replacements and Billy Bragg.  Funny and cool how you can associate music with certain events in your life.

Very true, funny how hearing a band or song takes you back to some distant past.

Well mate, you have a very good and varied taste in music and thats how I like it. From 80s Electro pop to System of a Down. It's was my aim and still is with my kids to have a varied music taste, love your modern stuff but appreciate the old stuff. It's great hearing your son listen to Bob Dylan or Pink Floyd. One of my daughters favourite song at the moment is That Was Yesterday by Foreigner

Yeah, my kids are on a big David Bowie kick right now. My daughter's favorite song is Billy Bragg's "New England" and both kids really like Of Monsters and Men.  Now.......If I could just keep them out of their mother's car.........

The wonderful Neil Hannon under the name The Divine Comedy.

Good man, you have them into retro gaming, good music and try to keep them away from the wife's music. And the award for Father of the Year goes to ..........

It's so odd. My wife was into Fugazi and The Decedents when I met her. Then she moved into an apartment with other girls in college and it became all about the N'Sync........ ugh

Tell your wife that I'm so sorry for her loss.

At least mine is still a big Doors fan.

I was recently introduced to Tame Impala with this song...



...and I've been gradually digging into-- and enjoying-- their discography ever since.

[singlebanana]

Oh yeah Zag, they are great!

never listened to much David Bowie other than a few songs before today, but today is a better day than any to listen to this playlist:

I think with all those different images and sounds, there will be one or two songs that everyone will like.

Glenn Frey of the Eagles and the Miami Vice (TV show) soundtrack tops off the initial celebrity-dirt-nap trifecta of 2016, saddening anyone not named Jeff Bridges. He may have belonged to the city, but when the heat was on, he was singin' the smuggler's blues. I can't tell you why, but just can't take it easy over his passing, 'cuz I really wanted to see him in concert one of these nights. When he performed, he really knew how to take it to the limit, lemme tell ya.

Icelandic singer Björk and her former group before she embarked on her solo career.



I remember getting a Disk drive for my C64 at Xmas and so spent the holidays in my room using it and the song Hit kept coming on the radio and I fell in love with the band and Björk.

As you probably know, I'm a YUUUUGE fan of the WWE. It's true! It really is. I even took a few shots at the company's head honcho a few years back... literally:




ANYway, I'd like to share with you the GREATEST WWE entrance themes of all time. OF ALL TIME-- whoah, I'm channeling Kanye West all of a sudden.


So, without further ado:




Damn straight, D'Lo: The_8-Bit_Donald IS the real deal! And victory is the sweetest!




Preach on, Teddy: EVERYBODY has a price. It's true! It's true...





That's right, I AM THE MOTHERF*CKING GAME, YOU INSIGNIFICANT LITTLE PISSANTS! F*CK OFF!!!

Whew, that was quite the adrenaline rush. It's true!

Time to top things off with my favorite entrance theme-- it's the greatest of all time, it really is. You know it, I know it:

 


WHATCHA GONNA DO, BROTHER, WHEN 8-BIT-DONALDMANIA RUNS WILD ON YOU?!
