03.26Paranoia
Music artists shouldn’t use police sirens or police siren-like noises in their radio songs.
Especially if I’m speeding.
(Not that I ever go over the posted speed limit or otherwise break any traffic laws, Mr. Police Officer.)

I’m pretty shameless in my enjoyment of Fall Out Boy. Not enough to fully engage in fandom, mind you, since the only member of the band I can name is Pete Wentz but enough to relentlessly guilt my husband into taking me to see them in concert. (A fair trade for the Goo Goo Dolls [...]
I was watching “August Rush” this weekend and a particular scene struck me; when Lyla Novacek (Keri Russell) returns to New York to find her son, she picks up her cello for the first time in almost twelve years and struggles with catching up on the years of musical neglect. And I’m all, dude, I [...]
I’m sorry but am I the only one that thinks Ticketmaster is the biggest and most successful scam out there?
Over the past few months, I’ve received e-mail updates about the parade of musical acts coming through — one of the perks to living in Orlando includes having some serious talent coming through, including MOTLEY MOTHERFUCKIN’ [...]
For New Year’s Eve, the husband and I watched Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest — who, by the way, looked more than a little freaked out by the blonde hillbilly co-hosting the countdown with him. Side note: his eyes were completely glassy shortly before “Part 2″ began with Fergie, who happens [...]
So last night, the wild and crazy kids that we are, we went to a Lifehouse concert.
(Which? The “No Moshing” signs were kind of moot. Many things in life inspire moshing; Lifehouse is not one of them.)
The opening bands were okay: the first one, Honey Honey, was kind of quirky but the lead singer chick [...]
I’m far from being a music snob — I have my own dirty little secrets on my iPod — and I certainly love some songs with lyrics of questionable taste but the songs themselves are pretty catchy or the lyrics are just funny in a totally-mocking-something kind of way. (Bowling for Soup, w00t.)
However, a mediocre [...]
It’s no surprise that I like to listen to the radio. Annoying ads aside, I’ve found a station that’s more or less along the lines of what I listen to. And? The morning show makes me laugh, which is virtually impossible before lunchtime. I’ve picked up a lot of new bands and artists, hearted my [...]
So I’ve had a particular song stuck in my head for the past couple of days. Like any normal person, I track down the album and obtain it; someone has generously included a music video for the aforementioned song, which just so happens to be a radio hit right now.
Before I go any further, [...]
The new morning radio show that I listen to — since the Radio Gods hate me and thusly punish me by axing the only morning radio show that I ever liked — is holding a very interesting contest in an attempt to give away some tickets to the upcoming sold out Hannah Montana concert.
This weekend, [...]
