Link of the Day [2.17.11]

So, the Republican wankers at the Capitol feel like defunding all of public broadcasting. They want to take away our Cookie Monsters and Reading Rainbows. Most importantly it will hurt local radio station WTMD. They are currently working on their latest fund drive. Give and while you’re at it, listen to their countdown of top songs to take with you to a desert island. While that may sound awesome, I have heard a few that would drive me bonkers like Gilligan did the Skipper.

Anyhow, join WTMD and give a donation. Listen to the awesome music. Enjoy before the wankers take it away.

Link of the Day [2.10.11]

I’ve been meaning to tell you. I play guitar. I haven’t played in a long while not since I stopped being an alcoholic. I suck at it, but I keep playing.

I’ve already told you about buying a new fangled amp.

I’ve been trying to tell you that I want to get a new guitar, preferably, that Fender Jaguar, because I love playing or attempting to play surf music. Yes, that wet, wet reverb sound. With that guitar it and the effects from the new fangled amp it would be the wettest sound you would get.

Then I plugged the amp into my MBP and found out GarageBand can do all that and more. So, now I must check out how to use GarageBand. Today’s link may help in that.

I wonder if I should learn how to play the piano.

Throw Away All the Pain that I’m Living

Crushes, most of the time infatuation, don’t amount to much. They happen, but if you keep the object of your affection at arms length you, they eventually fade. You’re left with only pleasant memories and perhaps a dream of what could’ve been.

We are in grade school but I don’t think it is grade school. I get to class and she’s the only one in there. It is the last day of school. We graduate today. It’s just me and her in the classroom.

I make a move. I kiss her. She kisses me back. I’m looking into her face. She is smiling. I don’t want this to end. I kiss her again and again. I feel her up. We make love. I can’t believe we are doing this. She is my girlfriend because she told me.

We got to go home as we’ve graduated.

Wait! Your phone number! She’s already sent it to my phone. Yup, there’s her text on my flip phone.

I head to the locker room. I say farewell to a couple of people. Most importantly I say farewell to my buddy, JH, Keep in touch, bro!

The girls are giggling by their lockers. My girlfriend and her girlfriends. I can’t wait to see her later…

This was a dream I had the night before. I wasn’t going to post it, but it falls right into the theme this week. I matched it with today’s music break.

Doors of Perception

As promised, here’s that nutty version of Hokago Tea Time’s (K-ON!) “Don’t Say Lazy” done by Scandal with Shoko-tan. A cover of a 2D schoolgirl band done by a live schoolgirl band. My mind asplodes thinking about how awesome this is.

Oh, you’re still here? I thought that you would be off following the music break video and surfing the related YouTube videos spending the hours upon hours lost in the world of anime song covers.

You didn’t? Well, good.

Let me send you on another journey into the land of the rising sun. This one is another excursion into its music scene. I wonder if this is J-POP or J-Rock? Who knows but since I wanted to see K-ON! videos. Here’s a real live all school girl band. Well, they’re not school girls anymore. They’re rockers! (In school girl outfits!! Yes!)

Acoustic Tak!

broderic on November 4, 2010

Every other day, my favorite Ho-kago Tea Time song changes. One day it’s “Fude Pen,” and another day I slip back to loving “Fuwa Fuwa Time.” Then I chase them down on YouTube to see how other folks interpret the songs.

Love this acoustic version of “No, Thank You!” that maybe, currently, at this moment, it’s my favorite. Oops! Just heard the piano arrangement of “Fuwa Fuwa Time.” Here we go again.

Dancehall

broderic on October 8, 2010

Why is old school dancehall so cool? I am not really versed in Jamaican dancehall so when I say old school I mean the late 70s and the 80s of dancehall. When it wasn't too rap influenced.What's good? Is there a Trojan records compilation for dancehall? Or do I have to just console myself with Dancehall Stylee volumes 1, 2 and 3? Of which I only have 2 and 3.This posts exposes me more to liking Jamaican music. Ska? Check. Dub? Check. Dancehall? Check. Where's my reggae post?
