ever mishear a lyric so simple?

the girl's got rhythm
(rock and roll rhythm)

I thought for years it was "pocket call rhythm".  I've no idea what that ever meant, but considering it was AC/DC I figured it was some kind of sexual slang.  of course, that would have been far too subtle for the band.

you better learn to play guitar!  got a new electric guitar today, a Fender Stratocaster Squire, complete with mini-amp (I already know I need some reverb and distortion pedals.   it's a beautiful blue shade.  I've never owned a Strat before, and it feels great.  I suppose at some point I may trade up, but for now this is just perfect.  I can't ( Read more... )

off to see the Young Dubliners at the Belly Up!

why is it no music that idiots in cars have to play sounds good?  even Beethoven's 9th would sound awful at that level of decibel.  why do they think everyone wants to hear their music?

oh wait, that was yesterday (hey, isn't that a song title as well ( Read more... )

didja know a scratch on a toe can bleed like Dusty Rhodes in a cage match?  well, they can and do, since i did it at kung fu on Thursday.  doesn't really hurt but i had to leave class since i was oozing all over the mat.  that was a bit of a drag, i gotta say.  but it's OK, better to be safe than sorry and all that.  and since my lesson is tomorrow ( Read more... )

wow, i can't think of any kind of appropriate song for my title.  i'll ponder it whilst i am writing.  i know, i'll go to Pandora and listen a while (though how The Troggs are "new wave" music is beyond me).

anyway, a very interesting week, i gotta say.  from Saturday to Wednesday was really busy at work, which in this day and age is a good thing ( Read more... )

i added this to my facebook account, so now it posts in both places.  but just me, none of my friends posts will appear.  it's pretty interesting that i can do that.  i wonder if i can add my blogspot one?  i know, i've got too damn many of them.  still, it's nice to let some of my other friends see things i post here.  i'll have to do a test to ( Read more... )

i'd never seen it before til youtube.  one of my fondest memories of G-Fest 2000 was quoting the Young Ones with Damon Foster, much to the chagrin of many people who were unfamiliar with the boys.  Rik, the social one, was enamored of Cliff ( Read more... )

somehow i added an extra music file to my 'pictures' and then when i deleted it, all my music left with it.  all of it.  weak, but at least i know where to find it again if and when the need arises.  the worst part was losing my Juluka before i burned it onto a CD.

her gift is here, and it's really cool.  i hope she likes it.  then i hope i have her ( Read more... )
