1. Go read this. Somebody sent some hatemail to Five For Fighting and the guy who is the whole band actually wrote him back. It doesn’t end up being much of an exchange and Mr. For Fighting ended up being pretty cool about the whole thing, but the email he was sent is really funny …

Old Songs and Being a Kid
When you were a kid, do you remember, along with the goofy kids’ songs you heard, you listened to your parents’ records? I know I did, some of them obsessively. I don’t even know why, I guess because mom and dad liked them. But I would even ask to listen to them! And now that …
No Marley No Film
BBC asks long-dead Bob Marley for interview LONDON (AFP) – A red-faced BBC apologised for requesting an interview with Bob Marley, the Jamaican reggae legend who died 24 years ago. BBC Three, one of the public broadcaster’s digital TV channels, sent an e-mail to the Bob Marley Foundation saying it wanted to do a documentary …
Real Band Names
Here is a list of supposedly real band names. I can’t speak for all of them but I’ve heard of a few so since I’m too lazy to do research, I’ll just assume that the rest are too. But even if they aren’t, some of them are pretty funny and need to be used as …
S Club Satan?
Greg sent me this earth shattering news. It turns out that one of my least and his most favourite bands in the world, S Club 7, isevil.Yes, I saidevil! The proof is right there for you to click on. Backwards messages, mind control, it’s all there, and I for one am shocked by the mere …
Isn’t It Ironic?

Whose Bright Idea Was That?
I was listening to the radio yesterday, and the song Weightless by See Spot Run came on. I thought to myself, “Cool song.” Then it went a little further, and I realized it wasn’t the real song, it was this horrible version they put out. Honestly it’s not much different than the other one. All …

It’s Official, Music Is Dead
I wish I had a nickel [pun intended] for every time I heard somebody say something along the lines of “every Nickelback song sounds the same.” I’m pretty sure I’d never have to do anything ever again but that’s not really the point. The point is that I can help anybody who has ever said …
Who Said a Computer Couldn’t Sing Anyway?
Yep, time for some weird humour, and to prove that I am such a geek. I found this page full of mp3’s made by making speech synthesizers sing. Speech synthesizers are the things that make computers talk for us blind people. But someone who had way too much time on his hands figured out years …
