Random searching somehow lead me to Youku.com and some guy doing a great job playing a Jay Chou song. Since I can't read Chinese, all I say "is good job random search result guy" and then share it with everyone else. BTW, Jay Chou will play Kato in the upcoming Green Hornet movie along side [...]
Album Review: Nevermore – Obsidian Conspiracy
Jun 4, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Once upon an MP3-eary, while I worked, weak and weary, Over many a deprecated code and compiled kernel’s core While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly double bass came a tapping, As if rapid machine gun rapping, rapping at my eardrum’s door. “Tis ass kickery,” I muttered, “slapping at my eardrum’s door – Only this and [...]

66: Ben Harper – Burn to Shine
Apr 6, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Cover of Burn to Shine Yes, the School of Rock is back. The flu is gone after stomping each member of my family into the dirt and then it followed my mother home and beat her too. But we survived like rebels fighting the machines in Terminator Salvation. Our victory will be short-lived as some [...]
In Defense of STP

Having just seen Stone Temple Pilots on March 20, I was disappointed to read this story at Blabbermouth.net. According to several eyewitness accounts from fans who attended STONE TEMPLE PILOTS' Milwaukee, Wisconsin concert last night (Friday, March 26) at the Eagles Ballroom, vocalist Scott Weiland forgot the words to at least a couple of the [...]
67: Them Crooked Vultures – Self Titled
Mar 18, 2010 By Leave a Comment
I know Them Crooked Vultures' self titled debut (2009) is new but I know an important album when I hear it. This album is very important. Now let's forget for a few minutes that I have a completely straight non-stalker middle-aged fan-boy man-crush on Dave Grohl. Let's also forget that if I had Queens of [...]
68: Mountain – Best of Mountain

Cover of The Best of Mountain Leslie West. Do I need to say more? The dude can play some guitar. Now I know Mountain is still around and I respect that. I'm also not even remotely suggesting they peaked in 1971 when The Best of Mountain (1971) was released. But "Mississippi Queen" and "Never In [...]
69: Kansas – Masque

Cover of Masque Yeah, I have a Kansas fan-boy deep inside me. Kansas' Masque (1975) is the album that introduced me to progressive rock. Masque is one special albums. I'd say it's probably one of favorite 100 albums of all time. Convenient huh? What's great about this album is it clearly showed the difference in [...]
70: Mass – New Birth

Ah, nostalgia. You are such a siren calling us back to things we dismissed and then letting us destroy ourselves on the rocky shores. You make us remember Def Leppard fondly only to temp us to listen 20 years later and vomit. You make us remember the time White Lion opened for Aerosmith and think [...]
