Concerts, Concerts, and more Concerts!
So this month I will get to see both Black Label Society and Cake, both in small venues, and then today I bought tickets to see Metallica as they come to town for their Death Magnetic tour… Just thought I’d share what concerts I plan on seeing this year…
Death Magnetic just laid the SMACKDOWN on St. Anger!
Metallica’s newest album is out… DEATH MAGNETIC. They fired Bob Rock – their producer on the Black Album through St. Anger… and went with Rick Rubin who has worked with U2, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Run D.M.C., Johnny Cash (he’s responsible for Johnny’s cover of NIN’s Hurt), Mick Jagger, Tom Petty… oh and Slayer, Danzig, [...]
Notes from Ozzfest
1. Metal played on cellos really does rock 2. There’s no such thing as being too close to the pyro (but once your hair catches on fire, it’s a good idea to take a break… get some water… sit a song or two out.) 3. Despite his age, Ozzy is A-Mazing. (So is King Diamond… [...]
The Black Crowes!
On presale today, and regular sale tomorrow are tickets to see the Black Crowes at the Palladium Ballroom here in Dallas… If anyone wants to go, buy tickets and let Ann and I know. It’s all general admission, so we can just meet up in line and enjoy the show together! If you don’t know [...]
Ozzfest Update
Alright all you closet Metal fans! (I know you wanna go Jason Cole) Tickets to Ozzfest 2008 go on sale next Saturday, May 31st. I don’t have a time because ticketmaster is lame, but the nice DJ lady said May 31st is the day. If you wanna go, get your own ticket… festivals usually don’t [...]
Birthdays and Haircuts
So I woke up this morning and had a little email alert waiting for me. This email told me two things: 1. What I wanted to do for my birthday and 2. The earliest possible date I would cut my hair. The earliest possible date of hair cutting will be August 10th. The reason for [...]
A Requiem for FairPlay
Fairplay is the digital rights management created by Apple and it’s used on all of iTunes Store purchases (with the exception of non-DRM’d iTunes Plus purchases). Ever since version 5 or so of iTunes, no one has been able to crack it. Now, I don’t need to crack DRM to pirate music (there’s easier ways [...]
Dwight Schrute’s Hardcore Jams
Okay, I’ve had enough. I can’t figure it out and I’ve gotta know. If your iTunes library at Lake Pointe is named Dwight Schrute’s Hardcore Jams, please email me and let me know who you are. Also, let me know what’s so bad in your library that it has to be locked… I mean it [...]
My idea for an alarm clock.
So one of my favorite albums is Van Halen’s very first (and eponymous) album. It’s a great album top to bottom and is (in my opinion) a near perfect party album… it’s got ups and downs, it’s never too hard and it’s just oozing fun. If I may change gears for a moment (and I [...]
So I’m practically famous
A while back, some of you may remember a little video I posted of Jason Castro… Well, not only has it been resubmitted to youtube.com, AOL video, Truevo Video and a host of other blogs, it has also been linked from the official American Idol forums and nearly every other Jason Castro/American Idol forum out [...]
10.5.2 is the best Leopard upgrade ever!
Because it fixed the bug where my iTunes Artwork Screensaver isn’t tinted red on my secondary display. Thanks Apple for paying attention to the little things!
Christopher Walken is Awesome
I signed onto Last.fm today for the first time in a long time and I noticed a new “Recommended Videos” section. So I took a peek at what Last.fm was recommending to me, and lo and behold this Fatboy Slim video was on it… I love this thing:
Interactive Blog Post #1
I figured it was about time I invited other people to participate around here, so I decided to ask a little question: What are some of your favorite single lines from songs, and why? I’ll start us off with a couple: “I’m only faking, when I get it right.” – I’ve always liked this line [...]
One Heckuva Rock Show!
So last night was a little bit of amazing. I dragged Ann to see the Foo Fighters on her birthday, a band she’s never really listened to that much (I don’t know how, I listen to them all the time). Anyway, she picked me up from work, we grabbed a quick dinner at La Madeline’s [...]
