This came up in my recommended Youtube videos….as if Youtube somehow knows how much I love this song.
I’ll agree with the description, it IS a strange video! I don’t know that I ever saw this video prior to now!
This is the (rather strange) video for After The Fall from Journey’s 1983 album Frontiers.
Featuring Steve […]

I think it might be NKOTB Day in Cleveland

October 3rd, 2008 · 11 Comments

Today’s post was inspired by Twitter conversation that I saw last night from G.W.T.T.M. (G.irls W.ho T.alk T.o M.e,) talking about tonight’s New Kids on the Block show happening at Quicken Loans Arena here in Cleveland.

See, the problem here is that my little brother, this morning, got his arm caught in the microwave, and, and uh, my grandmother dropped acid, and she freaked out and hijacked a school bus full of penguins, so it’s kind of a family crisis, so, come back later? Great.

Vinyl Record Day: A couple of cool things to read

That’s right folks, it happens on rare occasion.
Speaking of that, one of these days, I’m going to ask John if “Soeder” is pronounced in such a way that rhymes with Loder….as in Kurt Loder.

A Saturday song with Saturday in the title

August 2nd, 2008 · No Comments
