So a while back Laurel asked my what my all time favorite band was, I didn’t have an answer. I still don’t really have an answer, but that’s probably because I’ve never really thought about it.

I was making a play-list for Dave to listen to while he was at ju jit su. I was searching my library for all the hard rock songs that I could find and I came across some good songs. I’ll classify these songs as “Songs that never get old” I would say that these are the cream of the crop in my musical stew.

They are not all hard rock songs… it’s hard to search the library and be exact with genres. They’re just songs that came up and I made a snap judgment that they were awesome. Since I’ve been reading “Fargo Rock City” I’ve been thinking like a amateur music critic. (which just means I know enough to argue) I decided to share some of my favorites and why. Judge not lest ye be judged.

Redman / Methodman – Da Rockwilder – seriously do I have to say why? This has got to be the best beat of the 1990′s. And unlike most hiphop songs, I actually know most of the lyrics. I’d have to say there is no better song to bump down the street in a hunter green chrystler minivan (with the infinity sound system).

Johnny Cash – Hurt – I know most people will say that Cash’s best songs are “Walk the line” and “Ring of Fire” etc. But to me this is the way I want to remember someone that I really don’t remember. I mean come, I was born in 1981, I think it would be pretentious of me to say that he hasn’t made any good music since the 60′s. I don’t judge the man, I give him credit for covering a song made famous by an industrial rock group in the 1990′s. Plus it kicks the originals ass.

Digital Underground – The Humpty Dance - Pronounced with an Umpty! Yo ladies oh how I like to funk thee… This Shakespearian lyrical masterpiece will get the asses on the dance floor like no other song in the history of the world. As we know from the lyrics, it’s your only chance to do the hump, and who in their right mind would pass up a chance like that? Seriously you can’t help but like this song. I like my beats funky and my oatmeal lumpy!

that’s a start. When I come across some more I’ll post it.

I saw this while driving west on rt. 66 last night. I thought it was so cool that I missed my exit and had to take a 15 minute detour to find my way back. (it really wasn’t that bad, I’m just an idiot) Anyway I can’t tell if this is just a cut rate funeral home or if it’s supposed to be ironic. I think it’s the latter.

Later!

Thought I needed to post something here, So I decided to post this sketch of Charlie that I did a while (long while) ago.
More to come!

I had a weird dream this morning. I think it was one of those where you wake up in the dream and it seems like you’re going about your daily routine. I remember being the DJ at a big club, I was up in the DJ booth with all the equipment. Everybody was dancing and having a great time. But I wasn’t really doing anything, I was just playing a CD, somebody next to me was handing me CDs and I was just playing them. So I “wake up” and get ready for work and make it to the Metro, when I pick up the Express the cover picture is of people dancing at a club. There in the DJ booth it’s me! But I have this crazy gnarly blonde beard, it’s all thin and wispy. I’m wearing earphones and have a goofy smile on my face. But when I read the article that follows it, none of the facts are right, and I was credited as Mark McBrian? But it was a really realistic dream, not very crazy but weird!

Later!

wordpress admin pages are really not designed for the mobile internet

I figured out how to upload pictures directly to this blog… it was in a box 2 inches below where I type the blogs in… and I design web pages for a living. Oh well, it’s working now, so I think I’ll spice the place up a little with some camera phone pics of whatever I’m talking about.  Could be fun.

In the same vein, I’ve also decided to use the “notes” feature on the 8125 to get down all the little tidbits of blog comments that I think of. When I’m on the Metro I constantly think of little things to say. But I never have the time to get them up on the blog, not that it really matters because nobody reads this thing. But it would be nice to get the old ideas out of my head (to make room for new ones). I’m pretty sure I can only have like 30 things going on in my head at the same time, that includes appointments, projects, upcoming birthdays.

Today on the way home I’ll try to set up the mo-blog again. I had it working on the Treo but it was never a smooth system. With windows mobile I’m hoping I can just call up this page and log in like normal. Should be a pretty smooth process.

Later!
