Tuesdays suck just as bad as Mondays.....
For the first time, to my knowledge anyway, the blog got some play on another website. Someone enjoyed my comments on Joe Elliot enough to post them on the Melodicrock.com Noticeboard. The whole purpose of this blog was just to find something to do and share some crap with my friends (all 5 of you). I do intend to add some video and other enhancements in the coming weeks (just as soon as I figure out how to do it). I'm hoping one of the first vids to appear will the just completed OMOM directed American Dog video.
The sad, slow death of internet radio is upon us. Sunday is the end of the line for most web radio stations:http://www.dispatch.com/dispatch/content/life/stories/2007/07/10/1_WEB_TUNES.ART_ART_07-10-07_D1_0F779HH.html
The weather for Rocklahoma this weekend looks cool but wet. Lots o'rain in the forecast. Wonder if Vegas is taking bets on the first band to get mud slung at them. That Vince Neil looks ripe for some sod! ***Updated**** The Pryor, OK newspaper has nothing in todays online edition about the big show, not even in the "community" calendar section. Here's a link to some aerial shots of the campground. Considering all the rain that area has had, there's no doubt that sod is gonna be flying:http://www.rockfeverfest.com/grounds.php
Queensryche has announced plans to release a "best of" cd. Does this mean its blank?
Went to see Michael Moore's Sicko over the weekend. For the first time in my life, I wished I lived in France. Free healthcare, Free college, no Dubya. The film is horrifying, yet entertaining as all get out. I've enjoyed all Moore's films but Sicko is by far his best work.
Say this for Pope Benedict....the man is old school....like middle ages. Nothing says warm and fuzzy like a German pope:http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19692094/

If you're not watching Flight of the Conchords (shame on you) or too cheap for HBO, Yahoo is streaming the most recent episode:http://tv.yahoo.com/flight-of-the-conchords/show/38719
If you're into New Zealand pop music, and I am, VH1 is streaming the new Crowded House cd. You know the one I couldn't find at Best Buy: http://www.vh1.com/artists/az/crowded_house/1545627/album.jhtml
Vanity Fair is running an oral history of the Simpsons (gotta love that movie hype)...here's an excerpt:http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2007/08/simpsons200708?printable=true¤tPage=all
Speaking of movie hype...Harry Potter hits screens tomorrow and the reviews are in:http://movies2.nytimes.com/2007/07/10/movies/10harr.html?8dpc

That internet radio bill is sickening. The RIAA just doesn't get it in any way shape or form; today's youth have much more things to occupy their time than to sit around(as we did) and wait for the US Mail to bring you your 12 records for a penny. How on earth does a rock act expect to get any exposure? Surely not thru the radio or mtv, forget about finding a release at one of the big box stores. Internet radio is a huge/only outlet for most rock and roll bands to spread the word, now that will be taken away. It's no wonder my kids bypass the music sections and head straight to the dvd and video games aisle...
The vid should be hitting AD's website this week, then we will release it to other outlets, I'll send you a copy when it's bonafide.
Considering traditional outlets do not play new releases from veteran artists who are no longer considered "hip" and that new bands are given up on if regular radio doesn't respond to them immediately, the RIAA should be embracing internet radio. The RIAA is going after 'net radio for the same reason a dog licks its junk...cuz it can.
Good luck with the AD vid OMOM...if there was any justice in this world those guys would be huge.
