Music Track of the Week #3

Neon Trees "Everybody Talks"



This is the song I have played most recently and most often. I don't know why other than it is really catchy. It is one of those songs, that 'ends too soon' and once its done, you can easily hit replay and listen to it all over again. I actually even got a guy in Scotland to listen to it and admit it was a great tune. I'm not sure about any of their other stuff, but this is a great one!

Music Track of the Week #2

The Black Keys "Run Right Back"



Nic was supposed to select the track of the week this time around, but seeing as he never got around to it I guess that leaves me to pick something yet again. I suppose I can't complain much. I love sharing music with others. This week's selection has been playing on repeat on my ipod all week. It blends 60's psychedelic rock with the Black Keys already unique blues rock. It's definitely worth a listen.

Not Sure What to Do

With every post since I've changed the URL having zero views, I'm assuming that they are not showing up in people's dashboards. This is likely because their dashboards reference the old URL which does not exist. I think I shall call it the Blogger Conundrum of 2012.

We Need To Talk...

About Kevin. That's right. We Need To Talk About Kevin may be one of the most disturbing films I have ever seen, yet oddly thought provoking at the same time - the latter perhaps being the reason I find it kind of disturbing in the first place. The movie will leave you wondering who is ultimately responsible for the final outcome. I definitely recommend this one for all those movie buffs out there. Not only is it well written, but the cinematography is great as well. And did I mention John C. Reilly is in it? He plays a serious role for once too.

Sony Takes a Hit

It seems as if the co-founders of Eat Sleep Play (God of War/Twisted Metal creators and developers) are going their separate ways to pursue mobile apps and other ventures. What does this mean for Sony? Well I suppose they can kiss those titles goodbye or dump them off on another developer. I personally feel they should just let them go. God of War and Twisted Metal both have been lingering in the video game world long enough. Either way, I can't help but think Sony comes out the biggest loser in all of this. But hey! They scored big with Blue-ray at least. Right?

Round 2: We're Old Farts

My friend's had me back on their podcast again, and it was fun as usual. Our topics weren't as random this time around with our focus primarily being the classic video games we all grew up with and loved. But interspersed are some nerdy gems and a few pop culture references... Maybe. I even selected the intro/outro music for this one. You can click here to listen. As always, thanks for listening and supporting the podcast.

Music Track of the Week #1

Coconut Records "Easy Girl"



I love music. And seeing as I listen to my ipod on shuffle a lot, I figured why not try and highlight a song every week that has stood out most? And why not try and put one up every Thursday? The track this week comes from actor Jason Schwartzman's solo project Coconut Records. This particular track is from his debut album Nighttiming, and is enjoyed by me for it's Weezer-esque hooks, lighthearted lyrics, and toned down production and sound.

Thank You Jill!

For reminding me how awesome Wooly Willy was.

I Do Say I Made a Mess of Things

Or maybe not. If you are following this blog and for whatever reason you are experiencing technical difficulties with something, please let me know in a comment and I will do my best to sort it out. Thanks.

Passwords

They are only good for keeping the right people out. I'm sure some Joe Schmo could have hacked into my Google account long before I ever remembered what I changed my password to.
