Linkus X-1. Check it out! It’s a guy’s ass! A guy’s naked ass! Seriously! Check out the video link! Okay, that only lasts for about a minute. Then there’s a pic of Rush from about 1976. Followed by more pics by the time you hear Geddy’s bass kick in. Fuck, this song is SWEEEEEEET. It’s […]
The Link. Have I done a Black Sabbath song before here? Let me check. Negative. Fuck, I’m going to betray Humanity when the robots take over, I just know it. How could I resist a hot android chick who strides mechanically up to me and seduces me with her synthetic charms? Then again, the rest […]
Okay, this isn’t a song that I like much. But my friend Uncle Furry has never even heard of this meme. Actually, he’s never even heard of the word “meme”. This can only mean one thing. Uncle Furry spends his free time doing far more productive things than me. So be it. Would you believe […]
So now the time has come to reinstall Ubuntu on my very first PC, and this thing will go from Ubuntu 8.04 with LXDE to Ubuntu 10.04 with LXDE. But I’m going about things a little differently on this machine. First of all, when I tried to load the computer using the Ubuntu 10.04 Live […]
I made a post a while back about how I upgraded my parents’ laptop from Xubuntu 9.04 to 10.04. It went well. But since I upgraded, I didn’t get to take advantage of the vast improvements in boot times that came along with the newest version. Also, I didn’t get my chance to try setting […]
I wanted to play on the phone again tonight, but I’m too damn tired. So here’s a funny comic instead. And because I’m such a nice guy, here’s your chance to download a version of Adobe Photoshop for free! Yes indeed! Just save this link and you’ll have your very own copy of Adobe Photoshop! […]
I’ve had this song popping into my head a lot lately. I don’t know why that should be, because I’m not an “R.E.M. Fan”. I do remember that this was played all over the radio back in 1994. And every time I think about this song, I think of Dan Rather. Here’s an explanation, from […]
The Smershing Pampkins are one of those bands that you either like or don’t like. I quite like them… most of the time. I worked with a guy who was a Smoshing Pimpkuns fanatic, and he extolled their virtues up and down and all around. But I had known them from before, with their neato […]
Some things just belong together. Peanut butter and chocolate. Erica Campbell and lingerie. The female form and electromechanics. They match. They mesh. They meld. But here’s a less obvious combo. You may not see how these two songs fit together at first, but try bashing your head against something hard while holding your breath. If […]
I’m feeling lousy today, so I’ll make this post an easy one. Part 1 Part 2 Wait a minute… didn’t I already talk about this song on this here blog? <checks> Okay, I mentioned it. And I mentioned how the band members had not considered it to be in their top ten accomplishments of fave […]
I’m a lazy guy. I read a lot while I surf the net, and I have a screen reader do all the work for me. Currently, I have TextAloud mp3 do that for me on this computer. It runs in a virtual Windows XP installation that I have in “seamless mode” in VirtualBox on my […]
My experience with upgrading my Ubuntu (and Xubuntu) systems from version 9.04 through 10.04 seems to have gone well. As I blabbed about in a post below, I upgraded my parents’ laptop first, then did the same to my own laptop. Now, I’ve done the process to my music computer. I was worried about this […]
You can watch this song here, and listen to it here. Actually, both links just require you to listen. But listen you should! This band was from England, and I don’t know a whole lot about them. All I know is that they crafted this fucking AWESOME song and had a chick who sang for […]
It wasn’t so long ago that the nation of South Africa was under the racist rule of a white supremacist government. Plenty other world governments and leaders at the time were just fine with this arrangement. It took agitation by individuals and rights groups, both from within and without the country to get people to […]
It’s raining like the blazes here right now. How do the blazes rain, you ask? You’re asking, perhaps, the wrong fellow as I am not in much of a coherent mood right now. And if you suspect that this post will devolve into a rant about the weather, you just might be correct. See, Calgary’s […]
So… what the fuck is this song about anyway? Here are the lyrics: Unsealed, on a porch a letter sat Then you said, ‘I wanna leave it again’ Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand And on the sand I wanna leave it again, yeah On a weekend, I wanna wish it […]
Well, the time has come again for me to run the “Distribution Upgrade” from the Update Manager window. This usually means certain destruction. I think I’ve only successfully upgraded an Ubuntu system once before. Every other time I’ve done it, it has gone horribly wrong and left me with a broken and irreparable system. Like […]
Ah, Vegetation Day. Actually, I took yesterday off as a day of vacation, so I’ve already had a day of doing nothing. But I did stuff yesterday. In fact, I was quite busy. Since moving back into my parents’ house, I’ve had to put up with the fact that it’s not my house and I […]
This is a silly little song. A silly, fun, odd little song. But it actually contains a line that made me think, and that then made me realize something very profound and important. First, the lyrics: Shot his mother down With a gun that he had found Dragged her by the hair And sat her […]
Yvonne was a woman I worked with at my first job. She was one of the most annoying people I have ever met. She had a habit of talking in a “baby talk” voice all the fucking time. She smoked like a chimney and always smelled of cigarettes. Her and her husband were miserly to […]
Break out the schmaltz! Dress up in your Sunday best and be careful not to tap your toes to vigorously! Now, for some reason, this song has been popping up in my head frequently since I went and put about 22 hours and 55 minutes of Elvis on my iPod. The tune comes from a […]
These are some things. Not a few of my favorite things, but just some things I know. My parents’ 18 year old orange cat took over my new guitar’s case within a time span of five seconds I like big butts and I can not lie I’m sleepy I wish my parents were millionaires On […]
Here’s a predictable statement from me… I need to talk to one of those sexy NiteFlirt ladies in a MAJOR way. I didn’t get to play at all last week because of all the tired and sore I brought home from work. And that statement segues quite nicely into this next one: I’m hella fucking […]
First, something I have to get out of the way. Is it wrong to want 500 robot copies of Zooey Deschanel? Apparently this scene is from a movie. And apparently these aren’t supposed to be androids in that movie. What a wasted opportunity. Anyway, If I can’t have 500 robot copies of Zooey Deschanel, I’ll […]
35 years ago today, Syd Barrett wandered suddenly into Abbey Road studios and visited his former bandmates in Pink Floyd as they were working on the final mix of this song. I just noticed this coincidence of a coincidence as I coincidentally listened to some articles about Pink Floyd on Wikipedia. My usual Vegetation Day […]
This is related to the post directly below about my seven guitars.
I gave myself a treat today. I went to the music store and bought another guitar. I now own seven of them. Holy fuck! What the hell is wrong with me!? Why the fuck do I own so many guitars!? There is a logical explanation for this all. Bear with me. First of all, one […]
Why, you ask, am I a raccoon? Here are the facts: I am a lovable scamp with a fluffy and ringed tail My adorable whiskers twitch when I sniff around for morsels of food I wash my food in a stream before I eat it I have large black circles under my eyes Now it’s […]
You’ve probably never heard of this band. You may have heard this song though. But only if you live in Canada, and especially in Calgary. The Villains were a band that existed from the late 90s in Grande Prarie until around 2007 in Calgary. I worked with two of the members at my last job, […]
