The Meme-Mandated, Semi-Regularly-Updated, Occasionally Coherent Thoughts of G.M. Skarka
I discovered a music blog that features an entire album’s worth of Bollywood songs, ranging from the 50s to the 2000s, available for download. You can even download a PDF of the tracklisting and cover art, to print and use with your burned CD.
If you have the slightest interest in the Bollywood stuff that I’ve posted on Friday Music, you’ll love this: Bollywood For The Skeptical. Click the link or the image to go to the site.
….is gonna be COOL.
According to the National Weather Service (whom I trust more than the Weather Channel):
Saturday: A 30% chance of scattered showers. Partly cloudy, with a high near 70.
Saturday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 49.
Sunday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 71.
Sunday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 51.
So most of the time, we’re going to be in the 60s. I’m going to love it….but I know some of you don’t handle cold well. Remember cloaks and such!
Just got back from Sandstone (I refuse to call it the “Verizon Wireless Amphitheater”).
We didn’t bother to stick around for Godsmack — not really into them at all, and it was fucking COLD on the lawn. Thankfully, tonight had them going on *after* Rob Zombie, otherwise we’d still be there.
A group called Shinedown was the opening act — not too bad, but nothing to write home about. The only memorable song was a cover of “Simple Kind of Man.”
Rob Zombie, on the other hand……
Lasers, pyro, honest-to-god guitar solo wankery, smoke, a giant robot, platform go-go dancer/cheerleaders, and projection screens with late 50s/early 60s horror movie trailers, Betty Page 8mm films, clips of the Manson family, scenes from “House of 1000 Corpses” and “Devil’s Rejects”, and Ultraman and Kaiju films…..and the band playing the whole set under black light and strobes. They played a good mix of new stuff (“American Witch” kicked it off, for example) and old (“More Human Than Human”, “Thunderkiss ’65”), and, as I predicted, the encore was “Dragula”, complete with accompanying clips from the “Hot Rod Herman” episode of the Munsters.
WOW.
Got a shirt. Yay for me!
