Top 100 Greatest Miami Bass Songs of All Time
Miami Bass Songs is a form of Hip Hop dance with its core roots in Afrika Bambaataa & The Soul Sonic Force's 1982 seminal track "Planet Rock". The style is characterized by raps or instrumentals, a heavy syncopated bass, and features party, message, or explicit lyrical content. Important pioneers include Amos Larkin (the father of Miami Bass), 2 Live Crew, and Maggotron, to name a few. The genre also kick started the southern rap phenomenon. Miami Bass peaked in the late '80s and early '90s with acts such as J.J. Fad, 2 Live Crew, DJ Magic Mike, and Sir Mix-A-Lot. Its last great period was in the late '90s before it virtually went underground ever since."

Top 100 Jazz Songs of All Time This is my list of the 100 top jazz songs of all time. Before I go any further, I need to make a couple of things clear. First, I really love jazz music. It is an important part of my everyday life and I cannot begin to imagine my daily existence without jazz music in it. However, I am not what you would call a “jazz purist.” I firmly believe that jazz music can be created from artists not traditionally labeled as jazz artists.
For example, as you’ll notice on my list of the 100 top jazz songs of all time, I have a couple of artists that might raise a few eyebrows. Artists like Jeff Beck and Frank Zappa. Artists that are usually thought of more in the rock-n-roll realm instead of jazz circles. But the cuts I have selected from them are indeed jazz cuts. They are briming with the very same creativity, passion and inventiveness that made Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong and W.C. Handy the icons that they are.

You know what this blog hasn't had in a while?

Gratuitous kid pictures!
I had to explain to Bobbie that just because a top and bottom are both plaid, that doesn't mean they go together. Then I had her go lay on the couch so her sister could take a picture and show her just how bad plaids can clash. (She's holding that pillow because I told her to grab one of the plaid pillows, in the interest of having as many clashing patterns as possible.)
So she has no fashion sense, but that's okay; I'd really rather it be this way. She is rushing headlong into puberty, but if I can concentrate most of her efforts on her hair instead of her clothes, things will stay cheap for a while.
She is still doing well in school. The one she attends now has clubs available for the older kids to participate in, and she is proudly in robotics. Much better than dance or drama, even though I think she would have excelled in the latter.
I would like it known for the record that I did not pick out this furniture. I don't do patterns on my clothes for the most part; I sure wouldn't want them on my furniture, but for a while there we were apparently playing a game of "Let's see how pissed off we can make Sabra without her actually throwing things." (Actually, I am fairly certain we are still playing this game, and I am very tempted to see if actually throwing stuff will prompt anyone to pay attention. But I doubt it.)
Anyway, this is supposed to be about the kids. Linda can be found in a posture similar to this most afternoons. She makes me very glad for the concept of free e-books, because she can go through one a day. I have not yet been able to persuade her to read Dracula, however. Well, I couldn't appreciate that book as a child either, so there's that.
Again with the furniture! I know this isn't much of a photo, because Ro is apparently doing her impression of the Wicked Witch of the East (or whichever cardinal point got killed at the beginning of The Wizard of Oz). But it's too funny to pass up.
When this child wants to nap, she will nap. She takes a nap pretty much daily, in fact, and is nearly as much of a bear when she skips it as Marie is when she skips hers.
Here is another picture. I might be able to get normal looking pictures of this child if I tried hard enough, but why would I? This sort of thing shows who she is so much better than any posed picture could ever hope to.
She will be seven at the end of this month, something I find very hard to believe. An online friend mentioned at the beginning of the school year that in her mind Esther is always a toddler. I told her it was okay, because I feel just the same. She is a quite petite child (which is funny, as she was 8lb 2oz and 23" long at birth--still my longest, although not heaviest, newb), and for the longest time was the "baby" of the family. She still comes and climbs into bed a few nights a week, and I'd be lying if I didn't say I'll miss it once it stops. She's still my snake-and-bat girl too, which keeps me happy.
A view almost like this one is what prompted this blog post. MeMe in repose. (We call her that, by the way, because it's what she calls herself.)
I do not think she has any real clue she's about to become a big sister and not the baby. I have told her she is getting a baby for her birthday, of course, and had her feel the kicks and whatnot, but she's too young, I think, to truly comprehend.
But that's okay. I reckon she will adjust as quickly as her older sisters did. She is a very smart child, and very caring.
She's also potty trained. I will admit, I did not think it would go very well. It had been a long time since I potty trained Esther, and I honestly forgot how to do it for the most part. I don't claim a lot of credit, here. Marie just decided one Saturday that she was done with diapers. That was it. I think she had one accident since then, and that was that. No accidents when we're out, even. Easier than her sisters. And younger--she was only 22 months when she did this. I have successfully moved down the age of potty training with every single kid.

Then I had her go lay on the couch so her sister could take a picture and show her just how bad plaids can clash.

Again with the furniture! I know this isn't much of a photo, because Ro is apparently doing her impression of the Wicked Witch of the East (or whichever cardinal point got killed at the beginning of The Wizard of Oz). But it's too funny to pass up.
When this child wants to nap, she will nap. She takes a nap pretty much daily, in fact, and is nearly as much of a bear when she skips it as Marie is when she skips hers.
Here is another picture. I might be able to get normal looking pictures of this child if I tried hard enough, but why would I? This sort of thing shows who she is so much better than any posed picture could ever hope to.
She will be seven at the end of this month, something I find very hard to believe. An online friend mentioned at the beginning of the school year that in her mind Esther is always a toddler. I told her it was okay, because I feel just the same. She is a quite petite child (which is funny, as she was 8lb 2oz and 23" long at birth--still my longest, although not heaviest, newb), and for the longest time was the "baby" of the family. She still comes and climbs into bed a few nights a week, and I'd be lying if I didn't say I'll miss it once it stops. She's still my snake-and-bat girl too, which keeps me happy.
A view almost like this one is what prompted this blog post. MeMe in repose. (We call her that, by the way, because it's what she calls herself.)
I do not think she has any real clue she's about to become a big sister and not the baby. I have told her she is getting a baby for her birthday, of course, and had her feel the kicks and whatnot, but she's too young, I think, to truly comprehend.
But that's okay. I reckon she will adjust as quickly as her older sisters did. She is a very smart child, and very caring.
She's also potty trained. I will admit, I did not think it would go very well. It had been a long time since I potty trained Esther, and I honestly forgot how to do it for the most part. I don't claim a lot of credit, here. Marie just decided one Saturday that she was done with diapers. That was it. I think she had one accident since then, and that was that. No accidents when we're out, even. Easier than her sisters. And younger--she was only 22 months when she did this. I have successfully moved down the age of potty training with every single kid.
That's an interesting definition of local

I've hated on the Express-News before for loading up on Houston/East Texas stories (which of course happens 'cause around half the paper is now written and produced in Houston), but this really takes the cake:
Apparently, the NASCAR race in Charlotte, NC counts as local news.
To be fair, on the site's main page there are actual local headlines readily visible:
Not all of them, mind, but hey at least we've managed to not give a couple of drunken killers probation. That's good news.
This is why the newspaper industry is dying. The only strength papers have is the ability to focus on LOCAL issues and news. Unfortunately, by and large dailies are owned by corporations that aren't truly newspaper-oriented, and so they ignore this strength and take stupid cost-cutting measures that make it even less appealing to buy the local rag unless you're trying to house break a puppy.
For example: Earlier this week, my mother and I went to lunch at Jim's. The paper machine still had papers, at 1PM. I wanted a newspaper, but I couldn't actually buy a newspaper, because the last time the Express-News raised its prices (and frankly, it's not worth $1/day, but that's another bitch for another time) they redid all of their machines to only accept quarters. I had a dollar, but only 75¢ worth of quarters. So, no paper. And seriously, what business with any sense makes it harder to buy their product at the same time they raise its price? Newspapers aren't aspirational products, y'all. Maybe it's easier to handle quarters than a mishmash of quarters, dimes, and nickels, but I'd guess at least part of that is because there are far fewer coins than could be accounted for by a mere switch in currency.
Ah well, at least they don't yet have a paywall in place.

Jared and I were watching the Country Music channel the other day and this song came on. It is so great. I said to Jared, "He is a great song writer." Well that is how he started. Enjoy this video and don't miss your life!
Phil Vassar is an American country music artist. Vassar made his debut on the country music scene in the late 1990s, co-writing singles for several country artists, including Tim McGraw ("For a Little While", "My Next Thirty Years"), Jo Dee Messina ("Bye, Bye", "I'm Alright"), Collin Raye ("Little Red Rodeo"), and Alan Jackson ("Right on the Money"). In 1999, he was named by American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) as Country Songwriter of the Year. (Source)

Hank Williams Jr & Sr - There's A Tear In My Beer
To contact us Click HERE
This Western Wednesday post takes us all the way back to 1950. "There's a Tear in My Beer" is a country song written and recorded by Hank Williams, and later re-recorded by his son in 1988. The original version was written and recorded by Hank Williams during one of his Nashville sessions in 1950-51, but he decided against releasing it. It was not until many years later, in 1989, that the original song would get its first official release. (Source)
Hank Williams, Jr.'s version is a duet with his father created using electronic merging technology. As the song had been previously recorded with Hank Williams playing the guitar as the sole instrument, his son and his band simply "filled in the blanks" and recorded additional vocals. The music video for the song combined television footage that had existed of Hank Williams performing, onto which electronic merging technology impressed the recordings of Hank Jr., which then made it appear as if he were actually playing with his father. The video was both a critical and commercial success, and was named Video Of The Year by both the Country Music Association and the Academy of Country music. Hank Williams, Sr. & Jr., would go on to "share" a Grammy award win in 1990 for Best Country Vocal Collaboration. (Source)

'That is the chance you take'
To contact us Click HERE
I love this:
But at least it worked out in the end.
A judge has told two burglars that if they choose to raid a home where the householders legally own a gun they should accept the risk of being shot.Much less lovable, of course, is the fact that the victims (the real ones, not the criminals who got shot) were themselves initially arrested, and held for almost two days.
...
The judge said: "I make it plain that, in my judgment, being shot is not mitigation. If you burgle a house in the country where the householder owns a legally held shotgun, that is the chance you take. You cannot come to court and ask for a lighter sentence because of it.
But at least it worked out in the end.
This really shouldn't surprise me

And it doesn't, really, because I do not expect anything approaching critical thinking skills from the anti-gun crowd. Still, it's reaching even further than I'm used to:
But the whole "police officers are incompetent ergo so must everyone else be" bit, that's new and somewhat clever. The paper's editorial board is obviously aware that every other bit of anti-gun nonsense they spew on a regular basis has been exposed as just that, so they're throwing something else at the wall to see if it sticks.
Of course, it won't, because only idiots think the NYPD is well-trained as a whole. The rest of us? Well, the name Amadou Diallo still means something.
Still not convinced that arming students is risky? Consider this: In New York City this summer, when police shot and killed a gunman on the street near the Empire State Building, they also wounded nine innocent bystanders. Imagine what might happen with armed amateurs firing away in a darkened theater, or a barroom brawl.From this OpEd in USA Today. (The rest is the usual herp-derp blood in the streets wild wild West nonsense.)

I am a member of a due date club on Facebook. Much as it sounds, this is a group of women who are all due around the same time (late-October to early-December, in this case). We're getting into the biweekly/weekly appointments for most of us, which means stepping on a scale a lot.
Didja know that when you are pregnant, you gain weight? True story. You've got this little person inside you who is going to come out weighing, on average, seven pounds, and you have all the stuff that supports the growth and development of this little person, and your blood volume increases quite a bit and your hormones change so you can build up fat stores to nurse the baby once it comes.
Start out underweight? You're gonna gain. Start out overweight? You're gonna gain, but your doctor might make you feel bad for it.
It's really annoying. Weight is almost never a good indicator of health, and this is especially true during pregnancy. There are a couple of gals in my DDC who have gained a lot more than I probably* have who exercise daily and keep close track of their eating. Fuck thermodynamics, your body has its own agenda.
But a woman's weight is, in our society, a matter of deep concern for most of us.
And really...there is something deeply wrong in our society when how much a woman weighs so dictates her self worth that she cries over how much weight she has gained while pregnant. But I've seen it a lot in my DDC and I am seeing more of it as we get farther along. It's depressing.
Some time ago, this graphic showed up on a friend's board on Pinterest, and I saved it there & downloaded it (I don't have the original source; the link returned a 404 error):
And, well, I thought hard about posting it to the group's wall today...but the thing is, there's a good chance someone--probably more than one person, really--considers being a size 4 her greatest achievement in life, and that's just fucking depressing.
*I say 'probably' because I have no idea how much weight I've gained. I never once stepped on a scale between the day that Marie was born and my first midwife appointment at 20 weeks pregnant. So while I can tell you I've gone from 240 to 246 in the past 16 weeks, I haven't the first clue how much gain that represents over all, and I really don't care.

Gratuitous kid pictures!
I had to explain to Bobbie that just because a top and bottom are both plaid, that doesn't mean they go together. Then I had her go lay on the couch so her sister could take a picture and show her just how bad plaids can clash. (She's holding that pillow because I told her to grab one of the plaid pillows, in the interest of having as many clashing patterns as possible.)
So she has no fashion sense, but that's okay; I'd really rather it be this way. She is rushing headlong into puberty, but if I can concentrate most of her efforts on her hair instead of her clothes, things will stay cheap for a while.
She is still doing well in school. The one she attends now has clubs available for the older kids to participate in, and she is proudly in robotics. Much better than dance or drama, even though I think she would have excelled in the latter.
I would like it known for the record that I did not pick out this furniture. I don't do patterns on my clothes for the most part; I sure wouldn't want them on my furniture, but for a while there we were apparently playing a game of "Let's see how pissed off we can make Sabra without her actually throwing things." (Actually, I am fairly certain we are still playing this game, and I am very tempted to see if actually throwing stuff will prompt anyone to pay attention. But I doubt it.)
Anyway, this is supposed to be about the kids. Linda can be found in a posture similar to this most afternoons. She makes me very glad for the concept of free e-books, because she can go through one a day. I have not yet been able to persuade her to read Dracula, however. Well, I couldn't appreciate that book as a child either, so there's that.

A short while ago, I posted about paying the girls money to do extra chores. Pure carrot. Do X, Y, or Z and earn some money.
Well, that went over like a lead balloon. The girls each did one chore the first day, and then nothing.
So, I reworked it. Rearranged the money values, added a couple of things, subtracted quite a few things. Gathered the girls and leveled with them. Told them it's really hard for me to do this stuff right now, but it needs to be done, and that means I need their help. Went on to say that if they didn't volunteer, they'd be assigned chores, and assigned chores would have to be done but wouldn't earn any money.
Carrot + stick.
Went over...well, you can probably guess how it went over, or else I wouldn't be writing this post. Linda did one thing and earned some money. She volunteered to do one other thing, and so did Bobbie, but neither followed through, so the next day they were assigned those chores.
We did kind of a fast-forward version of that today. I told them I had a dollar for whomever volunteered to clean out the sink. They looked at me blankly. I told them either they could volunteer, or I'd draw a name out of a hat and then they'd have to do it and not get paid. Linda tried to volunteer Bobbie. Bobbie refused. Then they sat and looked at me. So I said okay and grabbed pencil and paper and had Marie loan me her hat. I do consider it poetic justice that Linda's name got pulled.
I don't know what the hell to do at this point. They have two chores, normally: wash the dishes (they take turns) and pick up after themselves. That's it. I am not overworking these kids. I do not give them an allowance regularly, though we have always occasionally offered to pay them for doing a job here and there. So doing extra work is the only way they get money.
The only thing I can think of is that the problem is one of delayed gratification. It's pretty well known that most kids aren't capable of delaying gratification for a greater reward. (The classic "one marshmallow now or two marshmallows in 10 minutes" experiment comes to mind.) I think I might try a ticket system, which they can either trade in for money once a week or for fun things (computer gaming time, time with my Kindle, etc) the same day, and tie all their fun activities--which they usually get unless they decide to beat one another up--to chores. I hate to do it, but I'm tired of them just looking at me instead of helping.

To contact us Click HERE
This Western Wednesday post takes us all the way back to 1950. "There's a Tear in My Beer" is a country song written and recorded by Hank Williams, and later re-recorded by his son in 1988. The original version was written and recorded by Hank Williams during one of his Nashville sessions in 1950-51, but he decided against releasing it. It was not until many years later, in 1989, that the original song would get its first official release. (Source)
Hank Williams, Jr.'s version is a duet with his father created using electronic merging technology. As the song had been previously recorded with Hank Williams playing the guitar as the sole instrument, his son and his band simply "filled in the blanks" and recorded additional vocals. The music video for the song combined television footage that had existed of Hank Williams performing, onto which electronic merging technology impressed the recordings of Hank Jr., which then made it appear as if he were actually playing with his father. The video was both a critical and commercial success, and was named Video Of The Year by both the Country Music Association and the Academy of Country music. Hank Williams, Sr. & Jr., would go on to "share" a Grammy award win in 1990 for Best Country Vocal Collaboration. (Source)

This song was on the radio this morning as I was driving to work. It really hit me especially after talking to a friend over the weekend about how we never thought time would fly the way our parents told us it would. Now I look back and see all that I have accomplished and the many different chapters in my book that I have closed. Thank you Kenny for putting the music to my thoughts and feelings.

And it doesn't, really, because I do not expect anything approaching critical thinking skills from the anti-gun crowd. Still, it's reaching even further than I'm used to:
But the whole "police officers are incompetent ergo so must everyone else be" bit, that's new and somewhat clever. The paper's editorial board is obviously aware that every other bit of anti-gun nonsense they spew on a regular basis has been exposed as just that, so they're throwing something else at the wall to see if it sticks.
Of course, it won't, because only idiots think the NYPD is well-trained as a whole. The rest of us? Well, the name Amadou Diallo still means something.
Still not convinced that arming students is risky? Consider this: In New York City this summer, when police shot and killed a gunman on the street near the Empire State Building, they also wounded nine innocent bystanders. Imagine what might happen with armed amateurs firing away in a darkened theater, or a barroom brawl.From this OpEd in USA Today. (The rest is the usual herp-derp blood in the streets wild wild West nonsense.)

I hate things like this: Pregnancy Week: After the Baby.
The article is, in its own words "designed to really help you through that six week recovery period after you’ve had your new little baby." Help you do what? Simultaneously debase yourself and treat your husband like a particularly stupid adolescent, that's what.
Some of the tips:
I'm not sure which aspect of this is most offensive--the idea that a woman recovering from childbirth (and I'm not sure how many of you men fully realize this, but it is an incredibly bloody, painful, and exhausting time for a woman) should be giving her husband erotic massages complete with happy endings, or the idea that a man needs to be constantly coddled and petted for being a father to his kid.
I'm not saying women shouldn't show appreciation, but this takes it into flat-out weird territory. He needs a "diapering kit" with rubber gloves, goggles, and a clothespin for his nose? Seriously? Not to mention a copy of The Idiot's Guide to Being a New Dad? (Way to tell your husband what you really think of him, ladies!)
There are a couple of good tips in there. Yes, ask him about his day. Yes, let him do his own thing with the baby even if you think it's not the right thing (OMG, when women hover and correct their husbands, I want to slap them, but that's another blog post for another time).
Look, I married a fellow grownup. He doesn't need to be flashed my boobs and given a freaking hand-job to know I find him sexually desirable, and frankly I'd think less of him if he did. Yeah, it sucks having to wait a month or a month-and-a-half to have intercourse, but you know what? Some things you just have to suck up and deal with. The idea that the onus is on the woman--who is bleeding heavily, praying her pelvis will go back together soon (y'all, this hurts), and possibly dealing with things like stitches, bruising, painfully swollen breasts, and acute sleep deprivation--to somehow manage to be sexy on top of all of that is about the most jaw-droppingly offensive thing I have read in a while. That it comes from an actual female (well, allegedly; this is the Internet) makes it that much worse. Some gals just need a hearty kick in the crotch.

Some of the tips:
*Call your husband, ‘Daddy’. Talk to your baby about how special Daddy is. Be sure to let Daddy feel of your love in how you portray him to your baby from day ONE.There are some things that are so overwhelmingly misogynist that they circle around into being misandrist, and this is one of them.
*Sing songs like, “I’m so glad when Daddy comes home” to your baby when Daddy can hear you.
*Lay out your husband’s pj’s, pull the covers back on his side of the bed, and put his favorite book on his pillow so he can relax before going to bed.
*Talking to your hubby about ways he can help you out around the house or with the other kids is a great way to be on the same page. Then make sure he gets a reward for the help… it could be anything from when the six week recovery is over to some cologne he has wanted.
*Back rubs are great after a new baby – but do them naked! Then you can finish off with a little play action on him – he still gets to see you naked, YOU get a MUCH earned massage, and he gets a little ‘relief’ at the end of it (if you know what I mean)
*Mop the floor on your hands and knees while he’s eating a late night snack

Fresh off another CMA win for Vocal Duo of the Year, Sugarland says it’s time to take some time off! After a whirlwind ride on the Incredible Machine Tour, and a tumultuous 2011, the duo’s Jennifer Nettles says it’s time to settle down and regroup before making any further career decisions. Jennifer said, "Actually, we’re in the resting process, let me just be real frank. We just got off tour two weeks ago after two years of being on the Incredible Machine Tour and, obviously, after quite a tumultuous year to say the least. And we are taking a few months just to chill and relax, and sleep in our own beds, and contemplate how we want to approach what’s next.” Jennifer will have one more professional duty to fulfill before she can truly take a vacation. She’ll be hosting and performing on the CMA Country Christmas special, which is set to air December 1st on ABC.

I had no idea this was such a dangerous job

This is really more Albatross's territory, but I think he has an actual life or something, and it struck me as so absolutely bizarre I needed to share it myself.
It's been a dangerous week or so to be an SAISD bus driver. As an alumna of that school system, I'm most surprised that the danger isn't coming from kids.
On Tuesday, this happened:
School Buses Collide; Driver Dies
One victim is shocked she survived bus wreck
It is apparently not much of a drop there, thank goodness. There are other, much higher, places along I-37; I'm really glad it happened so close to downtown.
Of course, when my best friend told me of this wreck in a text message, I thought absolutely the worst. SAISD's busses do tend to have seat belts, but they're typically not used. In this case, they were. Everyone survived, and it seems the worst injury was a broken ankle. I'm sure the fact that only three people were on the bus at all helped too.
District officials have been quick to tell us that school bus accidents are rare. While they're right, I'm still starting to wonder if maybe bus drivers don't need hazard pay even when they're not carrying kids from Sam Houston.

School Buses Collide; Driver Dies
Martinez's sudden loss of control of the wheel might have been caused by a medical emergency. She had passed the required annual physical exam for drivers in August.As if that's not startling enough, this happened Thursday (the day of Martinez's funeral, oddly):
Martinez was headed north with five students on Foster Road around 7:30 a.m., when she lost control and drove onto the median near Candlemeadow.
The bus entered the southbound lanes, collided with a Judson Independent School District bus carrying 59 elementary school students and then jumped a curb.
Martinez wasn't wearing a safety belt and was flung onto the steps near the bus door, said Lt. Jose Trevino of the Bexar County Sheriff's Office. With nobody at the wheel, the bus came to a stop only after running into the backyard fence of a house.
One victim is shocked she survived bus wreck
Witnesses told police she had been swerving as she drove north on I- 37 just before the 4:30 p.m. crash, the report said.This is one of the pictures from the story:
As she was passing the bus on the right, the back left bumper of her Dodge Nitro clipped the right front of the bus.
Owens, a driver for the district for 16 years, possibly overcorrected, and motorists told police they saw the bus spin 180 degrees while crossing three lanes before vaulting the guardrail and landing on its nose near the Comfort Inn & Suites by Houston Street.
It is apparently not much of a drop there, thank goodness. There are other, much higher, places along I-37; I'm really glad it happened so close to downtown.

Sunday Song: My Husband is Wrong Edition

Erik and I have a...difference of opinion...when it comes to heavy metal. It's always been an also-ran for me; something I can either take or leave. My husband, on the other hand, seems to think it is the ne plus ultra of rock music.
Witness his hating on Rivers Cuomo:
Thing is, Rivers Cuomo is a good guitar player by rock standards--and let's not delude ourselves that rock guitar is on a level with, say, flamenco guitar. That he's not playing heavy metal anymore doesn't change that. Why he left that kind of music I can't say--maybe he realized it's not 1987 anymore, or just realized he preferred something different. Either way, he didn't leave his guitar skills behind:
Witness his hating on Rivers Cuomo:
Saddest thing I’ve read probably all year:Like I finally told him the other night--instant wit isn't always my strong point--the mere ability to play the same three chords over and over again reallyreally fast isn't the mark of talent he seems to think it is.
“Rivers Cuomo…used to be a pretty awesome shredder in the 80′s/early 90′s. He sounded like he was influenced by Queensryche, Maiden, and Slayer.
“But then Weezer happened, and he seemed to lose a lot of that. I think he claimed in several interviews that he can’t play like that anymore.”
I must say, that’s a real shame. If he couldn’t play the guitar worth a shit in the first place it’d be one thing, but to let talent like that fall by the wayside is such a waste. More power to Cuomo if Weezer makes him happy — but then I’ve never been a fan of Weezer anyway, so I do have a biased perspective.

Not that it's bothering any of my liberal friends who are spreading it around:
Even whomever first uploaded it to Facebook noted that "NASA founded The Learning Channel" is untrue, but that seems to have gone over everyone's head. It's really not even important. The second half of this tweet is:
It was privatized. Now it shows Honey Boo Boo.
Looking at that statement, the obvious implication is that one can draw a straight, short line from privatization to stupid reality shows.
Only...You can't.
Government agencies ran TLC for eight years, from 1972 until 1980.
It was not until 1999 that TLC's "huge shift in programming" occurred. (Though, to be fair, a gradual shift began in the mid-1990s.)
If privatization had caused the channel's dumbing-down, it wouldn't have taken 19 years for this to happen. Moreover, if Americans actually gave a flying fuck about being informed and learning things, there would have been no impetus for it to happen.
I've got plenty of liberals on my Facebook feed...and they're watching at least as much shitty reality TV as the conservatives.

Roy Acuff Hickory Recordings
To contact us Click HERE
Well folks, I have picked what I`m going to post for my next "series". What we are going to be looking at is Roy Acuff`s Hickory recordings. Very few of Acuff`s Hickory and later recordings have been re-issued.
As you may know, on my blog, I try really hard not to post anything that has been released on cd. There are four Acuff LP`s from Hickory that have been released on two cd`s on the Ace label, so, I will not be posting these four LP`s (although I do have these four LP`s). If you are interested in Roy Acuff and want to get these two cd`s, the titles and catalog numbers are---
Once More It`s Roy Acuff/King Of Country Music, on Ace CDCHD 988
Hand Clapping Gospel Songs/Sings American Folk Songs, on Ace CDCHD 999
So, just for fun, I have posted pictures of one of the LP covers that have been re-issued on cd because it`s sort of an interesting cover. It does have Roy on it on the stage of the Ryman Auditorium, but does not feature Roy and his own outfit, The Smoky Mountain Boys. Instead, as you can see, it shows Roy in the middle of taking a step in front of one of the oldest acts on the Grand Ole Opry, The Fruit Jar Drinkers. There are some pretty famous Opry old-timers here! To Roy`s right with the red shirt on picking guitar is Uncle Dave Macon`s son Doris, then Tommy Leffew on banjo and Hubert Gregory on guitar to the extreme right. Under the O in the word OLE on the guitar on the backdrop is Herman Crook, leader of the famous Crook Brothers String Band. In front of Roy is Jackie Phelps on electric guitar. The bass picker behind Jackie is likely Stewart Golden. I have no idea who the square dancers are.
Hope you enjoy this cover!
