Some Bands to Check Out!

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010


I know I haven’t really been posting lately but that’s for a legitimate reason… Laziness… That and my ever longing quest for more music to fulfill my ears. So this is what’s been on my playlist while I’ve procrastinated my writing & school work!
Caribou
Genius, pure genius. A man with a goal single-handedly makes some of [...]

Jen's Top 10 Feel Like ??? Songs!

Monday, April 12th, 2010


I know that every writer, of any kind, has days (Hell, mine’s been about a week now)!   Joy and Jayson had their first gig under my management at the Perry County Volunteer Fire Dept.  It went well and we got another gig from it.  I have a story on that in the works and they [...]

Easter Basket – Pretty Songs

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010


Having just enjoyed Easter long weekend and its painted eggs I was inspired to write about some “pretty” songs. Generally I’m referring to the sound of the songs, but sometimes content – either in a happy sense or dark in juxtaposition – contributes to the “prettiness” of the songs.
So here are 5 songs I culled [...]

Feelin' Ill

Friday, March 26th, 2010


I recently made an archeological discovery of great significance while putting my snowboard away for the season: an old case of CD’s. Remember those? Actual CD’s musicians released with the intent of sharing their art/making a living/gaining immense fame and fortune. I’m not too proud to admit that there were more than a few CD’s [...]

My Top Five Albums

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010


Being as I’m quite new here, I thought I’d give a sample of what I’m into. Though my iPod is vast with MANY, MANY albums, I’ll choose my favourite 5.

1. Dark Side of the Moon – Pink Floyd
This is by far one of the most influential albums of my entire life, musically and mentally. It [...]

It’s the year of the Tiger and I’ve instructed all my bloggers to go out and get tiger tattoos. While they get that done, I’ll list the top ten songs with the word Tiger in the title. Criteria: I have to like them… and this time, it’s a countdown.

Top 10 Hottest Men in Rock

Thursday, February 4th, 2010


I heard a Silverchair song on the tuner today and it got me wondering what the lovely Daniel Johns, target of my many teenage affections, looks like these days. I gotta say it was a little disappointing. I mean, the man is beautiful, but in a less strapping hot man way and a more he’d-make-a-good-mascara-commercial [...]

Courtney's Top Ten Albums of The Decade

Friday, January 8th, 2010


Alright, here’s my top ten albums of the decade, plus a few honorable mentions. As you can see, Drummer John and I differ quite a bit, but I can promise you this: Slipknot and Kings of Leon probably wouldn’t have made this list if I wasn’t dating Drummer John. These are in order of how [...]
