This album came out when I was 12 and I listened to it a lot. I even copied it to a cassette tape for my friend and my friend's dad got mad at me for violating copyright laws. Some things never change. What was amazing about this album is how it managed to sound so unlike U2, but retained the qualities that define U2…
I found this video on YouTube with a guy demoing a kazoo connected to a microphone and run through some effects pedals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ayjmff5p0_A
The year was 1975. I was not alive. A young dude named Brian Eno released his third album called Another Green World, a collection of art rock, minimalism that is both timeless and highly accessible. Many of the tracks are instrumentals delving into ambient and electronic sensibilities. One of my favorite tracks, "Sombre Reptiles," is delightfully layered and warm. There are also notable guest…
1993 was a pivotal year for me and my music listening. Grunge was dominating the airwaves and I was ready to listen. No longer in middle school I started listening to what I wanted. I purchased CDs of music I liked. These 10 songs are just a short list of the songs that helped form my listening preferences for a decade to come. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0ID_xbWhWjERaYbXKPR0xEUX3LAHteeT
Yes, there is technically one more month left in this year, but I do not care. I am doing my year end music retrospective now! I think the reality is that there will not be any music coming out in the next 30 days that is so good it will be added to this list and really, I just want this damn year to…
While creating Kazoo 2: The Rescue, we thought about adding a boss character, but ultimately decided that was not in the spirit of the game. The idea is to evoke nostalgia of arcade games from the 70s/80s where you just grind for hours trying to get the highest score possible. Upon recommendation from a beta tester, we decided to add some enemy variety to…
The 90s was a time of not fitting in. I dont know if that is unique to the decade, honestly I doubt it, but it certainly was a focal point of media. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-wwJErTSChf45tOjQ2CBjWC6iBrBFpm4
Billy and the boyz are back with a new album called CYR. I have been a lifelong fan of the Smashing Pumpkins and they were particularly important during my formative years. The last decade of their output has been a bit of a disappointment, but I try to approach every new album with renewed optimism. I fully understand that the songwriting can never return…
With panic buying taking over all the supply of toilet paper in the United States (again), MattBrand has decided to capitalize on the opportunity. You may think this is ordinary toilet paper, but you'd be wrong. This new and improved product has extra features that your regular toilet paper just doesn't have: Glow in the dark coating for those late night poops.Secret compartment for…
It's a story of privilege and class when a family must come to grips with their wealthy patriarch's death by suicide and what that means for their pampered lifestyle. Daniel Craig plays the Sherlock Holmes private investigator Benoit Blanc, who doesn't even know who hired him (part of the mystery). While all the family members seem innocent enough, each has some level of motive…
