A major disappointment: handled well


I've been waiting for about 5 months to see Morrissey. I counted down the days and was very excited that the day had finally arrived. We decided to go out to eat at the Munich Haus before the concert. I had one of the best meals I ever had(yes, it really was some of the best food I've ever had). I had the Bavarian Platter which consisted of Schnitzel, Sauerbraten, and various sausages. We always love to fill up on the meat before a Morrissey show. I believe the first time we saw him we ate at White Castle and the second time we had a huge pastrami sandwich at the Carnegie Deli. We had sausage left over and I suggested that we save it to throw at Morrissey.
(I'm just kidding about that. I wouldn't waste this sausage. Remember it was the BEST I've ever had). Anyway, we drove about 20 minutes to the Pines Theater where we saw a sign that the show was cancelled. We assumed that it was due to the weather since it was an outdoor venue and it looked like it was going to storm. When I got home I looked it up and it is actually due to Morrissey being sick. Now normally, I would be extremely upset about this. Don't get me wrong, I'm not happy but I handled it really well. I didn't bitch or cry or swear or anything. For such a major disappointment I was okay with it. Maybe I would've been more upset if I had never seen Morrissey before. I guess the man can't really help if he was sick and plus the weather was really bad. I doubt he will reschedule but you never know.

Avril Lavigne is about as punk as Punky Brewster

I can not stand this stupid little girl. And by little girl I mean 22 year old. She thinks she is punk and loves to spit on people and give the finger, yet she continues to write songs like "Sk8ter Boi" and "Girlfriend". You are so bad ass Avril. Now, I'm not saying she should be bad ass but stop this stupid act. You write really cheesy pop songs.....start acting like who you are. You just look stupid.

Arcadia was Duran Duran-only better


Many people probably don't even know who Arcadia are. They were formed in 1985 by Simon LeBon, Nick Rhodes and Roger Taylor, all of which were in Duran Duran. Arcadia was Duran Duran minus Andy Taylor and John Taylor. They had joined the Power Station with Robert Palmer. Arcadia had a little more depth than Duran Duran. Sting even sang on "The Promise". Arcadia came out with one album called "So Red the Rose".

What is YOUR guilty pleasure?


Everybody has a guilty pleasure when it comes to music. Something you listen to when you know nobody else is around. The song that comes on in your car and you roll up the windows. I'm pretty open about liking really pathetic music but I too have some things I wouldn't openly admit to. For example, I was listening to my Ipod the other day and the "Golden Girls" theme song came on. Yes, I started to sing to it. Oh, I also like the "Growing Pains" theme song. (I'm not the only one who likes that though. It's even been harmonized in my living room.) At work today I was listening to my Ipod and George Michael's "Monkey" came on. Great song. I also like "Word Up" by Cameo. So I ask, what is your guilty pleasure?

Spice up your life!



The year was 1996 and the song "Wannabe" was released. What was this cheesy British music? It was a contrived band called the Spice Girls. They had many hits in the mid-late 90's including "Say You'll Be There", "2 become 1" and "Spice Up Your Life". They also released a movie in 1997 called "Spice World". I remember Javen and his friend Backer went to see that movie when it first came out. I believe they also had some sort of music video that they would dance to(although that may have been George Michael, I can't quite remember. It was a long time ago).
The Spice Girls broke up in 2000. They are still around and there has been a lot of talk about a Spice Girls reunion. I guess we'll just have to have hope that this happens someday(and you know it will. Look at the Police, Eagles, Etc.) We know that Victoria Beckham(Posh Spice) married David Beckham. She does nothing and looks weird.
Mel B (Scary Spice) had a baby by Eddie Murphy. Eddie has stated that the child is not his and left Mel early in her pregnancy. He has yet to take a paternity test and step up. Who knew Eddie Murphy was such a piece of shit?
Mel C(Sporty Spice) had a good techno song in 2000. It was called "I Turn to You".
Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice)isn't really doing anything. She had a baby last year. She caused some controversy when she posed topless before joining the Spice Girls.
Emma Bunton(Baby Spice) hasn't really done anything either. I think she may be having a baby.

Lets start a new blog!


In an attempt to be cool like Bill and Will, I decided to create a new blog. I decided to dedicate it to music. I'm very picky about what I like, but I do know a lot about music.
This blog will concentrate on what I like, hate, and may like in the future.
