I don't know much about classical music, but I know what I like. I've always liked "In the Hall of the Mountain King"*.
Last night, I was driving home after seeing Wanted**, I heard "In the Hall" on the radio. Then it switched to this:
It was awesome. Thanks, Randy Bachman! You made [...]
Man, I haven't heard this song in years. It's called "Don't Call Me Dude", and it's by the now-defunct Scatterbrain.
Well-done amateur music video for one of They Might Be Giants' awesome tunes. Enjoy. I know I did.

I present: 13 basslines that strike me as wicked cool. Enjoy!
First off, here's the aptly-named Canadian bank 13 Engines with the intro to their tune "Bred in the Bone". There was a video for this one, which I happened to see a time or two on MuchMusic, and I [...]
So I was out driving around yesterday. I dropped Kathleen off at work, then had to go down to the other end of town* to get a parcel in the mail. The radio started playing dreck, as it will sometimes do, so I tried another station. Specifically, the local college radio station.

It's been a busy few days.
