omebody had to do it. Velvet Revolver begged off immediately and The Rolling Stones are just too old. So doing a cover of Nirvana’s “Rape Me” as a lounge act is none other than Richard Cheese.
Richard Cheese? Who the heck… I’m kind of repulsed enough by the song (having listened to it 3 times) that I can’t bring myself to Google him for a bio.
The song is from Cheese’s album Lounge Against the Machine, a title I found to be amusing.
He begins the song by announcing “This one’s for the ladies.”
What’s better than kicking back and playing a little acoustic guitar? Playing that guitar on film with amazon.com advertisements to help make you a less-starving artist.
I wish I had a clever way to celebrate this momentous achievement for any music collector — an astounding Nineteen-thousand nine-hundred sixty-one songs in my digital music collection. If those songs were played one after the other it would take 53.9 days to finish listening to all of them (my iTunes tells me so).
Official word today is that The Pirate Bay crew has been indicted in Sweden for being “accessories” to infringing copyright laws. Could this be the trial of the century? OJ will get a run for his (blood) money.
The entertainment industry has got it all wrong. Shutting down The Pirate Bay and similar torrent sites would [...]
The Gods of Rock looked down upon our humble apartment today and smiled widely as two young aspiring musicians jammed their socks off playing Rock Band on the PS3 with Kaitlin switching between drums and singing.
I made a few cameos, singing my personal karaoke classic “Creep” by Radiohead and a shaky rendition of rapping on [...]
My buddy/some-time employer/overall nice guy, Paul, recently turned me on to Joomla!, an open source programming language. Learning to develop websites with it has been consuming great chunks of my days and nights. I feel like a whole new world of web development has opened up to me.
I am such a geek.
One site I’ve been [...]
I’ve been using this amazing keyword-building tool for website search optimization, Wordtracker, and the coolest thing to do is query search terms from the past two months from a mammoth database that holds 400 million searches.
So for the record, the phrase “crack whores” gets searched 268,000 times every two months, “jumpin jack flash” gets 24,300 searches, “Halo 3” 167,690 [...]
My beloved iPod died two days ago with barely a whimper. Nothing extraordinary happened: I didn’t drop it, or kick it, or immerse it in water. I simply plugged it into my PC for a normal synchronization.
Alas, nothing normal came from this activity. My computer froze, the iPod would not stop flashing “Do Not Disconnect” (which has happened [...]
My troubles with smoking have been well documented here, and I continue to feel unhealthy and guilty (because Abby wants me to quit) over it.
Even trying to cut down has proven to be pointless, because I can’t do it. Cigarettes are a nasty, expensive, and suicidal addiction–and a legal one, no less–that will probably take years off my life.
Unless I [...]
