Yes I am alive here. But more on that later. Anyhow, I know a good portion of you friends list are into the Japanese music scene and can either name practically every album every group put out or know where to find such information. I have a buddy who's big into the early hip hop and Jazz funk sounds. He loves anything that has to do with 80s ( Read more... )

Amy Weinhouse, I used to think she had a decent voice and that I could get into a good female artist again. She sounded soulful and black and that's who I thought she was. I thought she was a soulful black female artist that would be a throwback to people like Ella and all the jazzy big band singers. What I didn't know at the time was that her ( Read more... )

For someone who really isn't into shoot-em-up type movies where the director focuses on all the blood and bullets, I really enjoy this series. Maybe it's the fact that I loved reading the manga and see past all the blood and bullets and look at the actual plot of the story.

I've been taking a walk down music's good time bubblgum family filled past this week. With the passing of the head of the Osmond family this week and a local talk radio host playing a snippet of One Bad Apple, I've been inspired to find Osmond Brothers stuff be it music or video. So I went to ye old iTunes and downloaded a few songs from a "Best ( Read more... )

I know I should be asleep right now but I'm finding it a little hard to actually fall asleep. I could be reading more Peter and the Starcatchers but I'm finding that next chapter to be such a chore that the thought of having to trudge through twenty pages just to get to the next chapter is making dread reading it. So instead of doing something ( Read more... )

I'm a little bored this afternoon and to help combat my bordom I decided to upload some holiday music to my iPod. All in all I'll have a total of 130 new songs on my iPod just for the holidays. Of course, once the Christmas season is over with I'll remove them and save them for next year's festive season. I'm definately going to try and get me a ( Read more... )

I never really thought about the number of CDs that I own. For some strange reason as I was putting things where they belong and doing a final straightening of my room before the weekend I decided to count all the CDs I have. This counting includes all the mix CDs I made. I consider anything that was burned to be a mix CD. The final count came ( Read more... )
