Well, I dun finished messin with those Peter Hammill CDs I bought. I now have his solo albums from 1971 to 1988. Eventually I’ll get the 90s stuff, then the 00s. He’s got over 30 freakin albums, people. I need time to digest this music. And before I even listen to it, I go and […]
Grab a tall cool drink, and sit back and relax. This will be your new favorite song. Alternatively, you can grab a short hot drink, and stand up to stretch. I guess. I’m enjoying a beverage myself. It’s a cup of delicious, piping hot Earl Grey tea. Liking the song? Like Salsa? I’m not talking […]
A song from Bruce Dickinson’s solo career (no, really, it is), “Fire Child” is one of those songs that speaks from the perspective of a Native American. Reminds me of all the other similar songs that I have on my iPod. Right now I can only think of “San Jacinto” by Peter Gabriel and “White […]
This was an email I sent to a friend of mine where I work. He had gotten really mad. Really mad. Play the song while gazing at the image and reflecting…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Zd-4aeIUI4
Today’s song is from an interesting album. You see, the story of “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot” is a story about how the “Music Industry” is populated by out of touch business people who wouldn’t know good music if it stood up and smacked them in the fucking head. The album was recorded from the Fall of […]
It’s way past my bedtime. I have however, against sound financial judgment, shelled out more cash for phone sex. I have a big sloppy grin on my face, and I believe it will stay with me for days as it often does. This happiness is important to me because I used to be depressed. For […]
A friend of mine told me that he read my “Pope” post while he was delirious and hallucinating from a bad fever caused by a cold. That’s fucking hilarious. See how I mock you and your infirmity! Mock! Tonight’s post is all about how I got that jones again. Gosh dern, I’m in the need […]
No, not Furries. I have a friend who is a furry, and this shall serve as a shout-out to him. ;) So, what I’m trying to get at is that basically I have all kinds of projects on the back burner and here I am during the weekend and I’m playing games on the computer. […]
Man, these guys is angry! I understand the issues that Mr. de la Rocha is singing about. I’ve got a bookshelf full of books that make me angry. I can’t even read them any more, they make me too angry. At this phase in my life I need to be happy, and I need to […]
It’s Friday, and that means it’s time for another “News in Brief” just like I do every Friday. Every day, in fact. I do this every hour here on this blog. You see this every minute. The week started Monday when my head turned into a giant rear view mirror. I got followed a lot […]
So I borrowed a CD from a friend today. I listened to it on my way home. Not bad. Not original. Not going to listen to it again or get it for myself. The band is called “Big Elf”. Now, at first I thought that Ronnie James Dio had “bulked-up” as they say… taken a […]
Yes, THAT Bob Seger. Apologies, for I can’t find a YouTube link for this song. This isn’t the kind of music that your everyday Bob Seger fans like. This is some Midwestern Psychedelic Rock from back in 1969. Good lord, does it sound different from what he did later! Bob Seger System – White Wall […]
Paddington Bear fucking LOVES this song! No wait… that’s MARMALADE he likes. Onward. But first… isn’t the world of Winnie the Pooh a little ridiculous? This is more like it. Anyway, this song really takes me back. Back in 1992, when I started listening to “Classic Rock”, Steve Miller was among the first artists to […]
I was all set to get lots of stuff done today. I still have a ton of music to Mikeify. I got another album by Peter Hammill today, so I was going to do that one and put it on the iPod. I ordered his 80s albums last week from Amazon.ca, and every single one […]
Now here’s an interesting album cover: I had only heard this song by this band when I bought that album back in 1996. Yes, I bought it on the strength of the one song and the nice image of a girl dressed up to look like a robot. She sure looks like a robot to […]
So I’m in the late stages of “Vegetation Day”. Today, I have been spending time with my Amiga computer emulator and the games I have for it. The emulator, WinUAE, is the most complicated emulator I have. It took me damn near forever to figure out just how to use it properly. And you can’t […]
I just read a Wikipedia article about what this song is about. I can take that or leave it I guess. To me, this song is about oppression. I can hear “Who’ll stop the reign” in that chorus too. That’s one of the reasons I like this song. It can be interpreted in different ways. […]
Looky here! Today’s song of the day is not just meaningless rambling and bad jokes propped up by a YouTube link! No-sirree-Jack! Today, you will be able to download this very song and add it to your music collection! All legit and all for free! Thanks go to the good folks in Slim Cessna’s Auto […]
Okay, printer manufacturers, I’ve got you in my sights. FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU ALL. Greedy, avaricious, gluttonous scum-sucking lowlifes all of you! I’m never buying an inkjet printer again. For the amount of sheer hassle I get, for the wasted money spent on ink and paper when things fuck up, for having to shell out […]
The album “Beelzebubba”, released in 1998, is one of the best albums ever made. I make that statement without hesitation and with the fervor of one who knows what’s inside the album’s grooves… the cassette’s magnetic tracks… the CD’s track-shaped-bits and the mp3’s 1s and 0s. Man, is this a great album. I don’t know […]
EGAD! GADZOOKS! ZOUNDS!!!! So, entirely typical of the way that I shoot my big fucking mouth off about things I don’t completely know or understand, I’ve gone and said a few things on this blog that need to now be corrected. Here’s the original post. None other than George Ou himself has graciously said hello […]
Ah, vegetation day. I try to make that Saturday, but I was too busy yesterday. And now on Sunday I sit around and do as little as possible. That’s a shame because I have a ton of stuff I need to get done. Oh well. Right now, as I did rather recently, I am playing […]
I used to read ZDNet News quite frequently. I still check the site out every other day or so, but the content is nothing like it used to be. A few years ago there was some sort of shakeup at ZDNet. The site’s top editor and most of the genuine journalists went bye-bye. I remember […]
Some things I have just found out from Babelfish: This band’s name translates as “Court of the Miracles” The song title translates as “And L’ Will come; Man” Things I knew before: This is an awesome, majestic, dynamic, emotive song The band is from Italy The lyrics are in Italian, and I have no idea […]
Meet Roxy Epoxy. She is an android. At least that was her stage persona back in 2002 when The Epoxies self-titled album came out. And this song, which popped up on my iPod today, is about her being a female android! Yay! Read the lyrics. I’m not making that up. This band has, sadly, broken […]
AAAAAAH!!! MAKE IT STOP!!!!! Those god damned 80s! The only good thing I can say about this video is that it has brief scenes of ladies dancing robot style. I can say lots of bad things about it. Let’s talk about what Ms. Slick is saying, shall we? As I was telling my friend Keizo […]
Hippie dreams, the passage of time, changing of seasons, and the inevitability of aging. Weariness. This song is one of a few that made me want to get a blog and yap about em. Yap. Bark, even. For that (Bark) is the title of an album released in 1971. An album released by Jefferson Airplane. […]
I bring to you some verse tonight, I hope that in your mind it sticks, A tale of SCIENCE and delight And having sex with robot chicks! My phone sex jones has struck once more And I must make another call To meet up with an android whore Who’ll gladly meet this order tall. I […]
Well, there’s another weekend over with no time to get stuff done. Actually, I got stuff done, but it was all work. Bleh. I do that all fricken week. I didn’t even have time for my usual day of vegetation. Usually on Saturday, I sit around and play video games. Oh well. Those video games […]
So fucking sue me. I’m a huge INXS fan. But I must qualify that statement. I’m a huge fan of the albums they made from 1980 to 1985. Everything after ranges from “great” to “will-these-greedy-fuckers-let-the-past-rest-in-peace-finally”. I mean “awful”. It’s a simpler word. I honestly have never heard a single putrid note of anything the remaining […]
I found another gem. This is something I submitted to the website Urban Dictionary. It was rejected. Some more explanation… I don’t understand Sports. I literally don’t get why people “do” them, why people watch them, or even what the fuck is going on during them. So, I don’t see Sports as useful in any […]
I found it! I freaking found it! This was a dream I had some years ago. I wrote it out as a chat in Yahoo Messenger to my buddy Keizo after I woke up. I’ve tried to find this text file for years now too. I finally found it looking through some old documents in […]
How could a technosexual such as myself not eventually notice a band called Ladytron? I do believe someone on Fembot Central mentioned them many years ago, and that’s how I first heard of them. When Ladytron first came out, they had a kind of “Kraftwerk” look going for them. They’ve long since abandoned that gimmick, […]
Tonight, I give you (as far as my iPod will generate by itself) a mashup. Cryptorchid (live version of) Elektrik These two songs came on one-after-another as I walked home from Wal-Mart. There are no other stores. All glory to Wal-Mart! (Click me!!!) I have a smattering of Marilyn Manson on the iPod. I honestly […]
The 70s. Power Trios. Mustaches. I know a lot of people have heard of The Eagles. I know a lot of people have heard of Joe Walsh. I know that a lot of people have heard of The James Gang, but these three numbers diminish next to each other. If I remember my rawk history, […]
You may or may not know this, but I am a geek. I am a nerd. Dork. Etc. And making maps of Island 1 and Island 2 from a 1986 game made for a computer that no one uses anymore is probably among the geekiest/nerdiest/dorkiest things I’ve ever done. So without further ado, here are […]
Seriously? What the fuck is this company doing calling this thing a robot? And what the fuck gives them the idea that anyone would want to have sex with this ugly fucking thing? “True Companion”? More like “True Mistake”. For the love of all things scientific, I want a fembot of my own more than […]
More to come when I’m not nauseous, when my head isn’t pounding and when all I can do is fall asleep. (Later…) I just slept for 17 hours. Yikes! Zounds! Egad! Gadzooks! ZOMFGBBQWTF! That beats my previous record of sleeping for 16 hours when I was a kid. I had a fever. I still have […]
Isn’t she fucking HOT?!?! The beautiful (and deadly) fembot in that thar pic is Alyssa, also known as ComicBookBabe on Niteflirt. I’ll just quote here what I wrote over at Fembot Central: The image in question The reason for the image More info When I found Alyssa on NiteFlirt I was so impressed (and pleased, […]
I’ve often asked people if they wanted to hear me make an extremely annoying and extremely loud noise. They have wisely chosen not to hear this noise. It is not accomplished with any tools, only my vocal chords. I describe the sound as a cross between fingernails on a chalkboard and a loud screeching sound, […]
So I’m back “fixing” a friends computer. That’s the same computer I talked bout earlier. Apparently, Windows XP got reinstalled on its partition, thus removing the Grub boot loader and the ability to dual boot. That’s fixed now, but OH SWEET JEBUS how awful the display in XP looks now! Even with the latest XP […]
!!! Pronounce THAT! HA! It’s actually pronounced this way: clench your teeth (not tightly) move your tongue to either the left or the right side of your mouth, and push it forward create suction with your tongue, compressing the air underneath and behind it release your tongue, pulling it back and away from your teeth […]
Today – between bouts of doing laundry, working on FembotWiki and wishing I had more time off – I loaded up my Commodore 64 emulator and played a bit (several hours) of Questron. Back when I was a young lad, my Father bought me and my brothers a Commodore 64. It was the first computer […]
Ah, memories. This song is full of em for me. Or maybe it’s me that’s full of memories when this song is nearby. Most Canadians above a certain age have heard of I Mother Earth, and plenty of them know many of the songs from 1996’s “Scenery and Fish” off by heart. This album came […]
It was 1 year ago today that I uploaded my comic “The Robots of Love” to FembotWiki. And it was just over a year ago that I finished it. My final lettering and final addition of “LEDs” to the faceoff scenes occurred just 30 minutes before 2009 started. Of course, I can’t take credit for […]
My friend Barak shared some nice pics with me yesterday. I now present, on my shitty blog… The one and only Kaitie Price robot! (Click on the pics to get a larger view) She sure is perty. And she sure does really look like a robot. Check out that face… it HAS to be made […]
It’s time that we sat down and had a chat about Bob Marley. Today, while I was one of about only seven fucking people at work, I decided to play some music. Normally I can’t do this because I need to hear my name being paged, delivery trucks arriving and stupid people asking for help […]
Wow… GROOVY man! Time to dress like Austin Powers and summon the Fembots, because it’s SWINGING TIME!!! I’m sure lots of you know Deep purple from their international hit “Slow Walking Walter”. You know the one. The song goes “Slow… walking Walter… fire engine guy.” That was from 1972. This song is from 1968. Two […]
God dam those half-Japanese girls indeed! From Weezer’s 1996 album “Pinkerton” comes “El Scorcho“, which is about this chick Rivers Cuomo met at Harvard or something. The lyrics reveal ol’ Rivers to be a depraved creep. Well, at least he was in 1995. Look at him on the cover of The Red Album and you […]
It’s been a very Midnight Oil couple of days for me. I’m in the process of getting all the Oil I have onto my iPod. I had to go through many backup DVDs to get it all together… and I’m Mikeifying them as I go. Some of them I’ve had for so long, I’ve got […]
