Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
I’m still very behind on watching wrestling. I’m not sure I’ll ever catch up, but that’s ok. Pretty much everything I watch these days is good to great, so at least I’m having fun trying. Anywho, I just got to the point in late May where Fraxiom got their new, main roster entrance music. Like …

When I took audio production classes back in high school or when things needed to be done for the radio station, the subject of records didn’t come up all that much. At that time, everything was all about tape, CD and the beginnings of digital. Nobody was really worried about getting something pressed onto vinyl. …

I’m not going to pretend I know anything about Matt Corby beyond whatever’s on his website, but I most definitely enjoyed his cover of TLC’s “No Scrubs”, because as we should all know by now, I’m a sucker for this kind of stuff. This was done for a segment on Australian radio station Triple J …
Well, darn it all. I just got the news that Tom Lehrer passed away. He was 97, so he had a pretty long life, but it’s still sad. That’s probably the song that everyone knows him the most for, but the first one that I knew to be his was called “Poisoning Pigeons in the …
Back a very very long time ago, I learned that if you ever have to do CPR and need a way to keep the compressions well-timed, you can use certain songs. At the time, the only one I had heard about was ‘stayin alive’. Now, I have found a whole medley of good CPR songs. …

I haven’t written in a while, like 3 months, oops. So I thought I’d start with something silly. Did anyone else hear the song “Sad Songs Say So Much” and think it said “I’ll hold the skunk”? No? Just me? To be fair to myself, I was only 4 or 5 and the song was …
When I saw that someone had mashed up “The Look” and “Pour Some Sugar ON Me”, I had the thought I often have when confronted with a combination that doesn’t immediately make sense to me. “Hmmm. Interesting. I wonder how that’s gonna work.” The answer is that even though on a basic level you can …
I was at a wedding a couple nights ago and someone told me how much he hated the song “Stayin’ Alive”. I don’t know if I’m sheltered or what, but I’m fairly certain that no one had ever said that to me before and I fully expect to live the rest of my life without …

I’m going to go ahead and blame the rampant shittiness that has been life the last few years for it, but I’m still kinda disappointed in myself for not having gotten around to listening to Dolly Parton’s “Rockstar” album even though it came out like two damn years ago. Here she is, from that album, …

Radio Host, Song Parodist Bob Rivers Has Died. Man, I was so bummed when I heard this news over the weekend. Growing up, I had two favourite song parody guys. The first, obviously, was Weird Al (one of the first records ever given to me as a child was the “Eat It” 45), and the …
