Ok, so they’re here in support of what is likely their day job at this point, Yo Gabba Gabba, but it doesn’t mean the big kids can’t have fun too. After two shows for the little kiddies at the Target Center, The Aquabats are off to the Triple Rock.
Unfamiliar? Check out some of their tracks below. Or some of the other related posts here on the site.
I like the idea of Kirsten Dunst, but rarely anything she does. I like the idea of this video, but… well… the cover is a little weak.
For those unfamiliar with Slacker Radio, it’s similar to Pandora but with a larger library including some comedy stations, oh yeah, and it has stations (pre-configured genre-based streams that are still configurable via your likes/dislikes).
If you’re a Slacker Radio fan with a WebOS device, check it out. Both of you.
I haven’t figured out if I like The Lost Fingers or not, but I’ve decided to keep listening until I figure it out…
I tend to feel better about things if I can categorize them. So far, the best I’ve been able to come up with is “What if The Squirrel Nut Zippers were a cover band?”
Alright, so as if Burning Down the House as covered by Tom Jones AND The Cardigans wasn’t weird enough, they followed it up with The Lost Fingers covering You Give Love a Bad Name.
BTW, if you like that Lost Fingers tune, apparently they have a bunch of other 80’s covers to explore.
Cover of And Justice For All
Alright, fun time is over, back to the soul-sucking grind. Having some trouble getting going this first business day of the new year? Perhaps One off of Metallica’s And Justice for All will help kick start your day, or even your year.
Wish I’d known about this earlier, as in, before it sold out, But apparently Mates of State is (are?) playing this Saturday at the Weisman museum on the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus. To console myself, I’ve posted Ha Ha off of their Team Boo album here for your listening pleasure, I hope you enjoy it. And, if you happen to catch the show, let me know how it worked out at the Weisman.
After missing last week due to Thanksgiving, I’m back with another random 5 tracks
![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=f0c0d530-a9e5-4367-b15e-a046a2811be9)
The WOXY holiday mixer is up again. I’ve embedded my favorite addition for this year below.
Frequent visitors to the site, probably already know I’m a fan of the fictitious, animated band Dethklok from Adult Swim’s Metalocalypse. Recently the third season of the show started and their second album (covering their second season) has been released.
Dethalbum II isn’t as spectacular as the first album, but still thoroughly entertaining.
It’s time yet again for Electric Six’s fall show here in Minneapolis. Although the last few albums haven’t been able to live up to the awesomeness exhibited in the first album, the albums are still decent and the shows are still amazing.
If you haven’t had a chance to check them out live, I encourage you to do so. If you’ve already seen them live then you probably already have your ticket.
Here we are, and it’s Thursday again. I sat in line for 90 minutes this morning to get the Cities 97 Sampler at the downtown Target this morning. With any luck I’ll never have to listen to it. If it hadn’t become an expected gift, it might be a good year to sell them given the length of the line.
Fortunately I had my trusty Zune and Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist kept my entertained. Actually not a bad movie, for being PG-13, the most conflicted of all ratings.
Here are the tracks this week:
Superblast! by Lush
Wild Boys by Duran Duran
Where Do They Make Balloons? by They Might Be Giants
You Don’t Send Me by Belle and Sebastian
Black Math by The White Stripes
And those Grooveshark didn’t have:
She Said, She Said by The Black Keys
Love Is Blue by Future Bible Heroes
This isn’t metal, but it’s nice and heavy. It’s also about my wife’s hometown of Jordan, MN. In a way, I’m a little jealous there’s no song about my hometown, on the other hand, I’m ok with the absence of a children sex-abuse scandal in my hometown (that being the basis of this song).
Although, considering I just heard about this song yesterday, who’s to say I haven’t also been missing a song about my hometown. I guess I’ll just have to comfort myself knowing the mall I worked in as a teen was mentioned in Juno.
Ok, we’re back to Thursdays. You know the drill, 5 random songs off the MP3 player, regardless of the shame they might bring upon me. Only one couldn’t be found on Grooveshark, and to be fair, I’m not sure how I wound up with the track to begin with.
Porno for Pyros by Porno for Pyros
Bachelorette by Bjork
Wishful Beginnings by David Bowie
Better Metal Snake by Dethklok
I Keep Coming Back by The Afghan Whigs
This came up but were left out here as they were not available on Grooveshark:
Everything They Thought Was Everything by Silence the Foe
