Cartoon theme music…
Does anyone remember the music in the ’80s Transformers and GI Joe cartoons that I can only best describe at “battle music”? It was only really played when the good guys were staging some sort of comeback, and the best example I can think of (supreme nerd alert here) is in the GI Joe “Serpentor”… Continue reading Cartoon theme music…
Pandora
The last several weeks I’ve been checking out Pandora, the “Internet Radio” site that lets you build custom stations of music based on your personal preferences (and provides a live stream of said music). You can give it artists or genres to choose from, and from there—and based on what you tell it you like… Continue reading Pandora
The Portland/Bon Jovi writeup
It was a whirlwind tour of Portland, but we managed to make the most of it. We did some quick shopping in Gresham on the way in, stopped to visit with our friends for a bit (had to take over some of my pumpkin ale for a missed birthday), and then went out to lunch… Continue reading The Portland/Bon Jovi writeup
Going to Portland to see Bon Jovi
On Sunday we’ll be heading up to Portland to see Bon Jovi in concert at the Rose Garden. Yes, we’ve done this before (warning: I sound like a drooling fanboy in that post). Anyway, we’re casting about for something to do Sunday after we get to Portland… we’ll be seeing some friends, probably, and of… Continue reading Going to Portland to see Bon Jovi
Geekiest. Music. Ever.
Okay, this will permanently brand me as the geekiest dork ever (I fully expect a “geek” comment from Shannon), but perusing WinAmp’s SHOUTcast Radio list today, I found the ultimate station: …wait for it… Commodore 64 remixes. From SLAY Radio. Yes, you read that correctly. Commodore 64 remixes. I’ve been letting it play in the… Continue reading Geekiest. Music. Ever.

And he said “God, make it a dream!” as he rode his last ride down. And he said “God, make it a dream!” as he rode his last ride down. And he sideswiped nineteen neat parked cars, clipped off thirteen telephone poles, hit two houses, bruised eight trees, and Blue-Crossed seven people. It was then… Continue reading 30,000
Poor choice in words
On the radio today I heard a commercial for the Obsidian Opera, with possibly the dumbest choice of words for promoting opera that I’ve ever heard. They said, “opera is like going to a topless bar for your eyes and ears.” Aside from the crude juxtapositioning of opera and topless bars, wouldn’t something that’s like… Continue reading Poor choice in words
The Beach Boys
It pays to know the right people, I’m realizing. Today we (my wife and I) got invited to The Beach Boys concert at the Les Schwab Amphitheater on August 17. But not just to the general admission—that would be too easy. No, we got invited to join some friends in one of the private VIP… Continue reading The Beach Boys
Bend Venue
Having grown up and spent a significant part of my life here in Bend, I still tend to thing of it as a small town, even though it’s growing by leaps and bounds. A such, I’m always amused at people’s reactions (my own included) when big-name music comes to town—it’s hard to imagine why bands… Continue reading Bend Venue
