Musical Notes and Mathematical Tragedies

Resources to Find Good Music

Tune Find is a great resource to finding songs to your favorite T.V. shows and movies.
The music played in Sons of Anarchy and Supernatural is fabulous.   The tunes set up the feel and keep fan interest in tune (no pun intended, or maybe there was).

Reviews

I love searching the cheap C.D.'s at Walmart,  maybe just maybe I will find that one essential album that will draw me closer to completing a cool library. There really is no end to the quest, but the quest is what makes life fun.  So what C.D. did I get along with my sponges, rubbing alcohol, and Laundry Detergent?  
Meat Loaf Bat Out of Hell of course, and got at $7.00. So why Meat Loaf?  Why not?  One may argue that he is a complete corncob. His music is not serious.  He is way too soapy-operatic.   And I could not argue with you on any of these points.  So why Meatloaf and Bat out of Hell? Well it’s the flaws that make it great.   It is corncob.  It is not serious.  It is soap operatic.  Not all great things are measured by the critical standards. Some albums are just fun.   

Being a Dickhead's (is so) Cool.

Here is my theme song!!!! I hope you all like it.  I love my life as a dickhead, and all my friends are dickheads two too.

Where to Start? Live Music Archives

When you look at the list of bands on the LIVE MUSIC ARCHIVES you might begin a cold sweat, for there are so many bands, and many of these bands are bands that no one has heard about.

 Another way to find a new band to love is to look to the right of the band name, there is a number, this is the number of live recordings for each band, so if it has a large number might be a band you may want to check out.  

To get you started here are some bands that you might want to check out:

1. Hank Williams The Third: He's just plain fun.  I love his hillbilly self.  His music is a mixture of punk sentiments mixed with good old country.  It is like Johnny Cash's live at Folsom came alive today for a new generation.*  Thank you Mr. Hank Williams III
2. Disposable Heroes of Hiphopcracy:   Funky Hiphop with a conscious from San Francisco. 
3. Drive by Truckers: Another band like Hank III but a little different.
4. Fugazi: Great old school punk band.  Never got to see them live, but I stood in line with a can of food only to be turned away (a long story which will be published some day, when I am good and ready).
5. Hackensaw Boys: A lot of 'tude and a lot of rhythm.  Enjoy.  

(One great way to listen to these shows is from EXFM where you can que all of the songs and let it play).

*If you are easily offended, or one of those San Francisco PETA types,  please don't check this out (unless of course you can just let things go and realize we all have our point of view, and its still a democractic nation).

West Coast-California Basketball

a. lakers fast break makers
kinds of the court shake and bake all takers
back to back is a bad ass fact a claim that remains in tact
m-a-g-i-c see you on the court
buck has come to play his way and his way is to thwart
m-a-g-i-c magic of the buck
other teams pray for dreams
but he don't give a [fuck]
penetrating the lane like a bullet train
comes the magic blood a telepathic brain
knucklehead suckers better duck
when the buck comes through like a truck
scott stops pops and drops it in
on his way back gets a little skin
from the hand of a man named a. c. green
slam so hard break your t.v. screen
worthy's hot with his tomahawk
take it to the hole make your mamma talk
i hate to burst your bubble but triple double trouble
is coming to your town and he's going to make rubble
l. a. lakers fast break makers
kings of the court shake and bake all takers
back to back is a bad ass fact a claim that remains in tact
lakers are the team that i watch on the telly
cause they got more moves
that a bowl full of jelly
the buck stops here - pops - then cheers
a roar through the forum
that deafens my ears
the one and only know if his kind
sits in a throne
not for the records that he holds
but for being bald and bold
kareem abdul jabbar
all time great super super star
i hate to burst your bubble but triple double trouble
is coming to your town and he's going to make rubble
does anybody want some magic johnson
l. a. lakers fast break makers
kings of the court shake and bake all takers
back to back is a bad ass fact a claim that remains in tact

I watched last night, before me,
a duckling become an elegant swan.
She stood upright in her sack cloth dress,
Her voice tightened amongst cat calls,
Salivating critics licked their chops,
Thinking, "Oh -Yeah?!
Another: klutzy, untalented, tone deaf, chump!
She opened her mouth in triumph,
her voice flew out fluttering.
With gossamer wings,
wiping tears that appeared in front of my eyes,
Wings wrapped around me and
Whipped the dirt from my frame,
I had seen an ugly duckling,
but now I saw beauty take flight.

Sometimes it is good to show revision of my writing, the first draft appeared on Polycarp 55 yesterday. Check out the inspiration here: Britains Got Talent.
