1.. 2.. 1 2 3 4

My wife just told me that she has never heard this song...

Rediculous request

Help me find out the name of this song!!

That's 2009...

Rock the Block

I am making some electronic songs. Most people will hate them. I am using samples from this song.





Some people shouldn't have anything to do with music. Like Shane here....




Just Awsome indeed.

I'm not supposed to say anything but...

I'm working in a hospital. Again
Today I had to work in the morgue. There were dead bodies in one, refrigerated room. For most of the afternoon, I worked in the morgue by myself. Right over the stainless steel table that they do the autopsies on. On the wall, next that table, was a plaque that had "The autopsy Oath" on it. In fewer words, it said "Don't tell anyone about the shit that happens in here, no matter how fucked up it looked"
I can only imagine being there for an autopsy and having the doctor saying "Jesus, this one liked nachos. Hey! Don't tell anyone I said that!"
I worked in other morgues before.

We got kicked out of the morgue in Grand Falls because they had to do an autopsy on someone and they don't like doing autopsies when there is concrete dust in the air.

They keep the Christmas decorations in the morgue in Baie Verte.



This is alright

Anywhere is home when I'm with you....

This song could not be more perfect. I just wish my coffeebean was here when I discovered it.




Edit: I found this version. I like this better.

International airborne event

This song reminds me of driving with Sarah. In the Jetta. In the snow. We'll never drive in that car together again. At least I hope not. It's for sale. $14500. Tell your money makin friends.
The first couple of verses make me fill up. I miss my wife.

There was an ass.....

It was only a matter of time. I have been pressured and bullied for "too much of a long time" to get this online somehow. Here it is. Everyone on it should be embarrassed.

oh. oh-oh, oh. oh. oh-oh,oh.

My opinion of Lady Gaa Gaa just changed....

But I got a little problem with you not fucking me....

I forgot about this song until just then.

Sarah said I had to wash my hands after touching the cat....

While I was peeing, I decided to make a list of the shittiest (or my least favorite) cover songs. It should go along with this list that I made a few months ago.

Johnny Cash - "One" / Original by U2

This was the inspiration of my list. This was a real tearjerker in its original incarnation. There really was no need to redo it. The Johnny Cash "growl" didn't really fit the song.



Toad the Wet Sprocket - Rock and Roll All Nite / Original by Kiss

This appeared on the Kiss Tribute album "Kiss My Ass". It took the life out of the song by turning it into a sticky-sweet ballad. Gene Simmonds said in an interview that when they were compiling this tribute, they went for songs that sounded different from the Kiss originals. I think he should have went for something that sounded "good" rather than "different". This song could be performed by anybody in any number of styles and it still would sound shitty. It has to be played live. Kiss knows that better than anyone. Their studio version of the song is fucking lame.
*Sidenote*: On the same album, Lenny Kravitz does a version of "Deuce" that is one of my favorites, as is "Detroit Rock City" by the Mighty Might Bosstones which made my favorite covers list.




Me First and the Gimme Gimme's - Somewhere Over the Rainbow / Original by Judy Garland

This just wasn't necessary and seemed thrown together.




William Shatner - Rocket Man / Original by Elton John
What would this list be without an appearance form Captain Kirk.


Sheryl Crow - Sweet Child o' Mine / Original By Guns n' Roses
Take the reason why I put "One" up here and do a vice-versea on it. Too soft

*Youtube doesn't have Sheryl Crow singing her bullshit.... I don't blame them*

Madonna - American Pie / Original by Don McLean
No need for this. The original was boring. It didn't need to sound shitty too.

That's it for now. More will come to me in the next couple of days, I'm sure....

It's Saturday and we are goin' drinkin tonight. In airport heights.

There will be liggggggghhhhhts...... *Flash* *Flash*
There will be druuuuuuums-ah...... *Thump* *Thump*
There wil be gui-taaaaaaaaaaarrrrs.... *scrreeeeeam* *screeeech*
There will be.......

ROCK AND ROLL!!!!


Actually, we'll probably just play "High and Dry" a few times.
Probably tell some stories....

Listen to this

Snow days make me creep on wikipedia

Did you know that the proceeds of the NHL All-Star game to the NHLPA players pension fund? Did Harold Druken play enough games to get a pension? I was installing a sprinkler system at restaurant downtown that was undergoing renovations and he was working there as a labourer.
"Hey drukes! Hand me that hammer!"

Listen to this:

Might have been the turn signal....

Zip Back.
The other week. I can't remember which one.
Bouge comes to town. She was in Kip-pens while her school fought with the people that worked there. Of course, Syrup and Bouge are together immediately. The go downtown to buy some clothes. I agree to pick them up when I get off work.
Me: "How am I going to pick you guys up?"
Syrup: "We'll start walking down water street and we'll meet you along the way."

I go from one end of water street to the other. Never saw 'em. I dart down Duckworth and make another pass. I spot them on a crosswalk. They spot me. They start yelling "PETER RUSSELL!!!! PETER RUSSELL!!!!" and started waving their arms wildly. I questioned their sobriety*. They didn't spot the woman walking directly behind them. She had an ipod and didn't hear the yelling but she had eyes and one of them was almost knocked out by a flailing arm. She was quite (and understandibly) annoyed. None of this phased the two girls. (understandibly)
The next part of this story is fuzzy. Long story short, Bouge is losing her shit, laughing hysterically in the back of the car. For what reason, I don't know. It's makes you like her.

Listen to something. Frig.

*They were sober.

"Wake up! Who cares about, little boys who talk too much."

I tried being a vegetarian. I was doing well. I didn't miss meat at all.... Tastebud-wise. My body, however, missed it. Red meat is an excellent source of iron and I am lacking. I have started eating it again, but not regularly. twice a week at the most. If you got moose in your freezer that you are looking to get rid of, send it over.

Syrup Turnip can't make sound effects. It's one of the cuter things she does. That and when she crosses her eyes.

We like this song.

A.D.D. post #1 for 2009. (Don't get excited)

I first thought that no one read this blog. Then I thought only a couple of friends read this blog. Now it seems there is a human being who shouldn't be reading my blog, yet, they are. I don't know what I could be saying that would interest him/her. I do not lead a sit-com style life like Paul Warford. I just really like SNL.

I am considering placing this piece of literary trash in some kind of "lock mode". I find this ridiculous. I never wanted to know who was reading my blog. If I know who you are, then I have apologize to you for having wasted your time reading my bullshit every time I see you. I guess you'll know if I do this.
I know other people that do this with their blog. Perhaps they could give me tips on how to set up/run this efficiently.

My posts are becoming less and less frequent. It's not that I am abandoning this project. It was a combination of me having continuous sex and not-continuous internet. One of those things has changed. I bought a router.

Earlier this fall, I was writing comedy pieces. I will never perform them. For one, I can't deliver them. I stop and do "um"s and "err"s. Secondly, I told a joke that I was sure was funny to Syrup Turnip and she didn't bat an eye. Immediately started talking about something else. I wasn't hurt. I just knew right then and there that it wasn't my thing. It was about sports, on television. Maybe the wrong crowd to pitch the idea? Whatever.

I can't recall telling you guys to listen to something for a while. Here's a band that is broke up and never released a record. In fact, this may be the only recording of their music in existence.

The Haters - Wrapped






Being a gentleman is understanding when "no" is the answer, accepting it, then moving on to other things.

In Flight Disappointment

The posts should be coming fast and furious. This week was eventful.

I went on the road this week.
Fortune.
The place.

You go to Fortune if you want to go to St. Pierre. I wouldn't necessarily recommend spending any time in either of those places. The only upside to Fortune is that it is a great place to get cheap St. Pierre liquor. Obtaining a crock of Gin was one of my two objectives on this trip. The other being getting the fuck out of there in a timely manner. While I didn't get any liquor, I did get salt fish splits. I don't like 'em but the old man lost his shit when he found out that I got him some.


Since 2004, I have been waiting for In Flight Safety to return to St. John's to perform a show. This past Friday, they played at the Ship. I had tickets well in advance. After a well-timed series of events, I watched them take the stage at around 1:30. They played a short set.... Probably the shortest set out of the the three acts that took the stage. They played three songs that weren't on their new album. Although I enjoyed hearing new IFS, I would have liked to hear a song off their first record. I discovered the band through that album. It would have been nice to hear at least one song off that E.P. And, as if to rub it in my face, they get up to do an encore and do two cover songs. One of them being "99 Luftbaloons" I was ready to leave at that point. I wasn't going to go to the second show. I wanted to go to the second show after the first show because the first show was so disappointing and I didn't want to have that taste left in my mouth. I have since convinced myself that the second show would probably be the same.
Shame on the works of ya...

Point the headstock towards the sky!!!!

Parents:
I am sick of you going into music stores and exclaiming to the clerk that your kid can play guitar hero on expert and therefore needs a real guitar because they have "natural talent". Your kid is good at video games, not music. Anyone who thinks shredding the solo to "welcome to the jungle" is same as hitting plastic coloured buttons should be kicked in the nuts. I'm not against these games. I'm against the parents who are too stupid or out of touch to know the difference.

The drums work though. Since I started playing drums on Rockband, my skills on an actual drum kit have drastically improved, especially in regard to the kick drum.

I always wondered if the musicians who have music in these games play their own songs in the game. I found this.... goes to show how much the parents know....
