Try To Understand

2009-10-31T23:31:41Z

Why do I always think of these things at the last minute? M. & I will be in the city of brotherly love @ a Dead Milkmen show. *shut up, Crankypants*. I know you last saw them in the 80s. Anyways, here's the close-out to another brilliant Rocktober...

Don't Move Your Lips

2009-10-30T20:49:40Z

Shit. Blogging from work. I know I'm in for it now. But, hell it's 4:45pm on a Friday. I think I can excuse myself this one time, even if nobody else here will. It's the weekend, and not only that, a Halloween weekend. It's time for some satanic,...

It Seems You're Having Some Trouble

2009-10-29T23:57:41Z

In case you didn't know, allow me to reiterate that I'm full of surprises. You had me pegged for nothing but classic rock all week to round out Rocktober 2009. First of all, classic rock is evolving 24 hours a day. So where do you draw the line t...

This Won't Help

2009-10-28T23:12:38Z

I have this twisted obsession about, well, never mind the specifics. That's right, it's cryptic. Surprise, surprise. And if you have a problem with that, don't read any further. In fact, just leave. Anyway, this song I'm about to present to you wi...

Come On Baby, Don't Be Cold As Ice

2009-10-27T22:52:45Z

Now here’s a pet peeve I’m sure we can all agree on: the constant attention seeker. You know the type. And let me preference this by using the German pronoun “seinen” when referring to he/she, since seinen represents both genders in the plural se...

I Need A Drink Of Cool Rain

2009-10-26T23:04:13Z

Judging by the calendar, I see we're in the week that matters most in Rocktober. Time to bring out the heavy artillery in the form of hair-raising vocals, electric guitar, synthesizer, and a one-minute drum solo for good measure. The next song is...

Melting Like An Ice Cream Bar

2009-10-25T22:04:37Z

One of my oversights from last year was not including The Dead Kennedys on the 31 Days of Rocktober calendar. I won't make that same mistake this year, I can promise you that. What gravitates to me a band like the Kennedys is their endless, satiri...

The 3/4 Rule

2009-10-25T04:48:30Z

Considering it's still October 24th in the: Central, Mountain, and Pacific time zones, I'm just getting this Rocktober post in on time. Back in the late 80s, one of my good friends coerced me to join the town pee-wee football team after many faile...

I Have Cursed, Bled, and Sworn

2009-10-24T02:14:15Z

The skies are raining dogs outside on this miserable night in the mid-atlantic, leaving me to consume lots of Flying Fish within these four walls. A fitting Rocktober entry on this delightful evening comes from that dear Englishman, Shane MacGowa...

Sweetness, I Was Only Joking

2009-10-22T23:12:03Z

There was a mass genocide of angels last night after the Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers (again) in 5 games. I'm sure Crankypants is letting Austin hear all about it. Does this now mean vengeance will be accomplished by ano...
