It's break time...Peanut Butter Jelly time with a baseball bat!.
I'm taking a break from the Blog for a little bit, got a lot of stuff to take care of so I'll be away for probably the rest of the week at least. If anyone happens to be reading, I thank you for stopping by and hope to resume soon! And now...I'll go out in a fit of Madness!
.
Save us Y2J! - Chris Jericho becomes a World Champion again at Unforgiven. And as an awesome heel. Yeah!
.
Heaven isn't too far away... - Jani Lane is out of Warrant again. I didn't even know he was back in Warrant. "Sometime She Cries" will never sound the same!
.
Who you gonna call? - The word is there's work being done to make Ghostbusters 3. The 80's sequel revival is just going nuts now isn't it? I'm voting for a sequel to Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo then. I just feel there's more story to tell.
.
Don LaFontaine - The voice to many movie trailers has passed on.
.
Web Slingin twofer - Spider Man 4 and 5 are planned to be filmed back to back with Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire. Because back to back sequels worked so well for the Back to the Future sereis. And the Matrix series. Oh well, can always hope for a Lord of the Rings hot streak.
.
The Heart of the Matter - The Wilson sisters express outrage that the Heart song "Barracuda" was used by the Republican Party.
.
Mysterious Ways - U2 has pushed their album back to 2009 due to a creative roll.
.
Stand Up to Cancer - Just wanted to include a link to their site, the telecast Stand Up to Cancer was on last week and is asking for donations for a worthy cause.
.
You want a Piece of Me? - After spending all week advertising anarchy, the MTV Video Music Awards went off without too many hitches and a boring host. A rehabbed Britney Spears won awards and seemed both awake and aware. The VMAs have become the equivalent of Car Racing (people watch to see the horrible accidents) so there wasn't much of interest here. Nice production values on the music segments though.
.
Go Phish - The famous jam band of the 90's reunited for a wedding gig.
.
Mini CD Reviews:
- Death Cab for Cutie - Narrow Stairs: I really wanted to like this album and have found a few good tracks ("Cath" and "Long Division") but the wanna be Mitchell Froom production is annoying. Hopefully this will grow on me over time.
- Matthew Sweet - Sunshine Lies: A solid album with some highlights from the Sweetster. "Daisychain" rocks with power pop force while the sublime title track features background vocals from Susanna Hoffs.
- Duffy - Rockferry: I wasn't planning on getting this but I have a relative who likes the Duff so I checked it out. Very old school, a pleasant throw back to 60's with a soulful performance by the young singer. But still nothing outstanding and I'm just now getting over the huge marketing push she got a few months back.

Ah, Mr. Mike! And just when I'm getting to feeling better and getting back on-line, too. Well, I'll miss you and hope for your speedy return. :)
BTW, as a rabid NASCAR fan, all I have to say about your quote: "people watch to see the horrible accidents", is... hey! I resemble that remark! No really, that isn't the ONLY reason I watch it, but the wrecks are a "bonus". :)
Thanks for the well wishes some kinda wonderful! I think I'll start blogging again this weekend, Bunny just bought me the new Metallica album.
The NASCAR races specialize in wipeouts to me, but my cousin's a fan so I know there's a little more to it. But for me, as long as the drivers are unhurt then the best part is watching cars fly apart :)
Well, yeah, it's been a boring race if there haven't been any wrecks. I'll admit to that. And I do sorta yell at the TV screen for anyone close to Kyle Busch to turn him into the wall. Him and Jimmie 'frickin' Johnson, too. :) I don't like those two.
I don't know the individual drivers too well, other than former local boy Jeff Gordon (who is said to not be that great a person by hometown rep). I know there's a driver famous for backflips off his car and Dale Earnhart Jr...I don't think I know any other drivers. Oh wait, Danica Patrick, that's one more driver. It's a very popular sport now, but for me in general I only like sports for the highlights. Attention span issues for me, ya know. What were we talking about?
