On This Day...

by niloc

This is an unexpected post for me. Yesterday was just as any other day. Woke up, went to work, then I read the paper during break. There was a tiny little snippet in the corner that caught my attention:

On this day…
1980 - Led Zeppelin announces their decision to break up.

The iTunes Meme!

by niloc

Jana first saw this meme on L.A. Daddy's site and emailed me about it. Now I know some people view meme's as a cop out for a post but it is about music and I'm an iTunes and iPod geek. We are lucky the mini power failure we had a week ago somehow revived our dead desktop. (It was magically turned on and the hard drive kicked in for the first time in months) The iTunes on the laptop isn't anywhere near as extensive or tweaked.

Intellect without the Melody

We all know that children say some incredibly entertaining things. It is only appropriate that celebrities that entertain us would likely have some great wisdom to share. I have found ten random quotes that have given me something to ponder...

Cover Me

by niloc

When a band releases a cover song it can mean many things. It can break an unknown act wide open. It can be a simple tribute to the original artist. In many cases it can be the theme of the summer blockbuster or something a band adds to their encore after a great live performance.

Ticket Monopoly

It is pretty hard to beat a great band in a small venue when it comes to concerts. The sound beats any arena. You can actually see the band members perform and usually there is a much greater interaction between the stage and the crowd.

First Release

I have been sitting on this intro for a while. I came up with the idea of writing a music column for MBT and bounced it off of Jana. She thought it was brilliant and we were soon brainstorming on topics and ideas for it. I have probably forgotten half of them by now because it has been so long. I started piecing something together and then it slowly started to dawn on me. This is going to be actually read. MBT does have a number of readers. Everyone who contributes has their own respected following. Parents and mommy bloggers alike. I’m just your average schmo that hated any aspect of writing in school. Now I am volunteering to contribute a regular post and even during NaBloPoMo. What the hell am I doing?
