  2. Song Intros: Game #2

    in General Music Discussion

    Posted

    I'm not technical,so I have no idea why, but now none of them will play on my PC. They were fine at the weekend, but now nothing.

     

    They're hosted at fileden.com and the site appears to be down at the moment. That happens with them once in a while. It's usually not down for long.

     

     

    Led Zeppelin 'The Ocean' is #2

     

    That just leaves #6

  4. Dirty Looks - Chewing on the Bit

    in AOR and Hard Rock

    Posted

    They have a limited collection of lyrics on their website, but they didn't have what I was looking for.

     

    http://www.dirtylooksmusic.com/

     

    Just click "Lyrics" on the sidebar.

     

    To my knowledge NO! Dirty Looks discs contain lyrics.

     

    My "Five Easy Pieces" CD has a 4-page booklet with lyrics for all tracks.

     

    My Five Easy Pieces doesnt have any lyrics, but if I remember right, I always thought it was odd cause there was so many songs you cant understand the lyrics to, I have all their cd's up to One Bad Leg, after that I completely lost interest, it became quantity not quality. but none of my discs have any lyrics,

     

    BTW Chewing is my fav of all time from them!

     

    Hmmm. I bought mine about a year after it came out. Maybe the label went cheap on future issues. I can scan the lyric pages if anyone is interested.

     

    I was kind of surprised to see the Five Easy Pieces CD is now selling for $85 on Amazon. Even a used copy will cost you at least $25.

  5. Revenge (ever get some?)

    Working in the housing business, I routinely come across cable tv/internet equipment abandoned by tenants when they skip out on me. All the while, Charter constantly screws me on my own tv and internet deals at home.

     

    I love calling them to ask if they'll offer me some kind of deal on installation or one-time discount for the effort of returning their equipment to them. They always refuse, but tell me they'll be happy to come and pick it up from me. My response to that is always the same: "Sure, I'll stop home from work sometime between 12 and 5 next Friday. Be there". Of course they aren't and I end up chucking the equipment in the dumpster. Screw 'em.

  7. "Modern" Music to Check Out

    Take your pick. According to the guys in Ghosts of August, the two bands wrote this song together, but each one recorded it a bit differently. Personally, I'd go with the Ghosts of August version. Either way, it's a cool tune.

     

    Ghosts of August - Broken (2011)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LLdUM9Z7n8

     

    Age of Days - Broken (2013)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrXJiFv7UmI

     

    Both of those come from pretty good CDs worth checking out.

    ha, not as hard to find as I thought. Unfortunately my Rockworld copy does not have lyrics, and what is dumb it is like a 4-5 page fold out but it is blank on one side. The other side has their thank you's or whatever. Never noticed that.

     

    Thanks for checking. I got that track from a mix CD-R a long lost friend burned for me many years ago, so I couldn't check for myself. "Five Easy Pieces" has the lyrics in it, so I thought I'd ask.

     

    That line right before "it's hard to break into if I'm still alive" will remain a mystery.

  22. Last movie you watched?

    in Exquisite Entropy

    Posted

    "Wreck-It Ralph" (2012)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87E6N7ToCxs

     

    Disney's latest smash hit is kinda like a "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" for the video-game generation. The villain of a vintage '80s arcade game is tired of being the bad guy so he goes "game jumping" hoping to find a way to be seen as a hero. Stuck in a racing game called "Sugar Rush" (imagine a Strawberry Shortcake version of Mario Kart) he befriends a fellow misfit and helps save the day when some giant angry aliens crash the party.

    My kids and I all loved "Wreck It Ralph," it was beautifully animated, packed with action, funny as hell and had a warm heart. If you've ever played video games, you need to see this movie, it's a blast!

    Watch for the cameos by tons of vintage game characters including Q-Bert, DigDug, Pac-Man, Sonic the Hedgehog, and many more!

     

    I love computer animated movies that aren't aimed entirely at little kids. When it came time to watch the next one this past weekend, I recalled this post.

     

    Good watchin'. The wife and I loved it.
