Easily my favorite track from Slash's CD, and the video... just WOW. *I'd love to hear a complete hard rock CD from Fergie; the girl can definitely sing, and has more than enough attitude to pull it off.

Dokken - Dream Warriors

Helloween - Halloween Been listening to Helloween all week to get into the festive mood!

That....is....AWESOME. How f'n cool would that have been to look a few rows back and see Steve Perry singing!

I had a copy of this one several years back, and if I recall correctly, mine was marked as a promo as well.

Always nice to hear when someone has walked through the fire and come out the other side stronger... congrats on the new job(s)!

Really enjoying that Smilek CD; the title track, American Dream, Fields of Fire, Better Days, & Promise to Remember are excellent too.

Loved Part VI and consider it the best as well, but also really enjoyed part VII, "The New Blood". The showdown between Jason & Tina is classic, especially the ending.

Records. Recorded at historic Ardent Studios in Memphis, the album features 14 classic songs from the vault of Stax Records, including "Respect Yourself" and "Got To Get You Off My Mind". Considered to be the preeminent soul music label in America, Stax was home to artists like Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Booker T & The MG's, and Isaac Hayes, and produced an astounding number of hit records throughout the 1960's & 70's. Ably paying tribute to the rich Stax legacy, Huey Lewis and The News, joined by their long time horn section, capture the energy and excitement of this important era. 'Soulsville' re-unites Huey Lewis and the News with co-producer Jim Gaines ('Sports,' 'Fore!') who worked at the Stax studios as a young man and was involved in many of the label's original recordings. "We're especially proud of the collection." says Lewis, who has been previewing material from the album while on a critically acclaimed summer tour. "There should be a number of surprises for everyone." Formed from two rival Bay Area bands in 1979, Huey Lewis and The News play a brand of straight-ahead rock and roll that has outlasted countless trends, selling over 20 million albums and earning Grammy Awards along the way. The group still performs around 100 shows a year. Lewis has enjoyed recent success on screen and stage as well, acting on the hit television show "Hot in Cleveland", and performing in the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical "Chicago". ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've always loved HL&TN, and will be picking this one up. Not the pop rock we remember from the 80s, but a laid back, soulful affair. Good for relaxing after a long day in the salt mines...

Love this Old Spice parody:

UFC "card girl" Arianny Celeste ...and she's set to be in Playboy:

I believe whoever posted that has the Utah Hard Knox confused with the Tennessee Hard Knox . RR Tracks is track 2 on Psycos R Us.

*Click for full size pic Can't remember where I found this one, but buying records (CDs) definitely cheers me up too.

Today's "Zits" comic:

Love this song!

I too have noticed a slow down / change on the board recently, and offer up a few reasons as to why this is occurring.. 1. As goes Geoff, so goes the board. Not joking even a little bit here. Geoff is one of the most prolific posters here at HH, and when he has limited access to the internet (which has been the case recently) and can’t post as much as normal, the posts on HH decrease overall since he isn’t here spurring the conversations on. Hurry back you sexy Aussie beast. 2. As has already been mentioned, the economy is probably playing a big factor. I’ve certainly bought WAY fewer CDs in 2010 (new or used) and hence, don’t have much to add to discussions on new releases, as I’m simply not hearing them. I dare say the majority of us have cut back on our CD spending over the last year or two, thus cutting back on potential conversation as well. 3. People can be jerks While this isn’t nearly as big a problem here as on other forums, there’s nothing that takes the air out of a person’s sails quicker than getting excited about a new band or release, posting about it, and then seeing it get slagged off by other forum members. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion of course, and should post what they feel, but sometimes a little restraint could go a long way. For example, “ I can’t get into singer X’s vocals, and the songs overall don’t appeal to me, so I would have to pass” is a lot more tolerable than “The singer sucks donkey balls, and these fuckers can’t write a song to save their miserable f’n lives. I can’t believe anyone listens to shit like this”. Responses of this nature are what turns regular posters into lurkers. Just a few things that came to mind...

Looks like "Outlaw" over on NBC is the next to go: http://tvbythenumbers.com/2010/10/06/nbc-shuts-down-production-on-outlaw/67027

He was 47 years old. An official statement on the matter from the band's management and record company is expected later today. It was only two months ago that Lee was involved in "a horrible car crash" in Italy while he was "on [his] way home from a little vacation." He said of the August 7 incident, "A car crashed into us on the motorway near Firenze, and it involved six other cars. As cars were slowing down, the person in the car behind us didn't notice that, and crashed into our car. Despite the accident, I want you all to know that I am OK. I guess I must have a 'rock-loving' guardian angel." ----------------------------------------------- Gone way too soon. R.I.P. Steve

...and now he's gone: http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=104015176&blogId=539647780 Stepping Down I'm sorry to announce that I have had to step down from my position as Lead Vocalist of Lillian AxeMy personal commitments have made it impossible to give Lillian Axe the time and dedicationthat it truly deserves. I want to thank Steve Blaze and the rest of the Lillian camp for the opportunityto front such a great band and I wish them all the best for the future. http://www.myspace.com/ronnymunroe

When the Ravens are playing I'm nowhere near the computer. This is me during a Raven game... This was me after the Raven game today.... I was as well Dave! EXCELLENT drive by Flacco and crew to win it at the end yesterday, along with Ray Lewis' interception. What a game!

ABC has canceled one of their new shows as well; "My Generation". By all accounts, FOX's "The Good Guys" and NBC's "Outlaw" are on the chopping block too. My thoughts on the new shows I've checked out so far.... Boardwalk Empire - Excellent stuff. Mike & Molly - Cute. Not a must see, but pretty funny. The Event - Nowhere close to being in the same league as "Lost", but pretty decent so far. I'll keep watching as long as they keep giving timely answers, and NBC keeps showing it. No Ordinary Family - Really surprised at how good this was. This had the potential to be a cheese fest, but the "family becomes superheroes" story has been done really well here. Raising Hope - HILARIOUS new comedy from the same guys who did "My Name is Earl" Running Wilde - AWFUL...just f'n awful. Not funny...at all. How the hell this got picked up boggles the mind. Undercovers - YIKES. This is one of the shows I was looking forward to, and it bored the hell outta me. It also looks to be in trouble ratings wise. Better With You - Not Funny... will probably not watch again. The Defenders - Surprise of the season for me. I didn't think this would be all that great, but Jerry O'connell and Jim Belushi work really well together. Surprisingly good. S#!t My Dad Says - Eh. A few funny lines here and there, but there is ZERO chemistry between Shatner and the guy who plays his son (the one who just moved in). Will probably watch a few more episodes cause it comes on right after Big Bang Theory. Outsourced - Ugh. Not funny.... only reason I watched the second episode is because it comes on right after The Office and I was too lazy to change the channel. The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret - Friday nights on IFC. Laughed my ass off watching the first episode last night.

I watched and enjoyed it immensely. Love Buscemi's character... a bad guy with just enough good in him to make him interesting. I'll be tuning in Sunday nights...

Well, it's only taken about 3 years , but Stranded is now available! I picked it up directly from the band's website at: http://www.smilek.com/ You can hear samples of all the songs on their site, or on their MySpace page at: http://www.myspace.com/smilek I've been listening to this one all week and am really enjoying it!

Am I the only one who thinks the raspiness to Mark's voice is VERY similar to Blackie Lawless? It really stands out on "Metal Health"... anyway, sounds good to me.
