Who are these guys?

If you know please help the writer of this blog out (click on link to see the guys in question). Be sure to let me know as well!

Steampunk

Steampunk is a "term denotes works set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century, and often set in Victorian era England—but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or real technological developments like the computer occurring at an earlier date."

Many fine examples can be found here at Steampunk Workshop. There are plenty of other sites out there that showcase this unique and very cool form of artwork (most with a lot of the same stuff you'll find there. If you're looking for something even more out of the ordinary (and even more geeky), there's always Steampunk Star Wars.

Drank: The Anti-Energy Drink

You always too wired up? Are you a rapper from Houston with a lifetime supply of cough syrup with Codeine in it? Maybe you have problems falling asleep at night or just need to come down from all those Red Bulls you pound during the day...

Slow Your Roll....

Busy again today, but thought I'd at least get this in. T-Shirt post may be coming later...if not I'll get one up this weekend along with some other stuff...

Your happy childhood ends here.

This website is devoted to reminding you of the things that scared the crap out of you as a kid. Now they can scare the crap out of you as adult as well...

T-Shirt of the Day

An oldie today, though I still have it and wear it from time to time. I
got this one on Screeching Weasel's Wiggle tour way back in 1993...I
think. It may have been early '94...my memory sucks these days, but I
do know it was around that time. To the best of my knowledge it's the
only time they've been to Charlotte as well, though we'd have loved it
if they had come back. A fun show by one of the best punk bands of the
late 80's/early 90's. This picture is over a year old (as evidenced by
my hair and ring) but you'll just have to deal with it. I'm still being
slack about taking new pictures.



Oh, sorry for the lack of posts today...haven't found much to pass
along, plus I've been busy. Stay tuned though, I'm sure there will be
some late night posting!

Punk Rock Thursdays?

Guess so. We'll start off with one of the best...Circle Jerks!

The Wii Lives!

Okay, so Worst Buy was supposed to be sending me a shipping label via email. I have yet to receive this, so I fully expect it to arrive in the mail in another week or so. I started thinking maybe I would open it up and take a look, but before I did that I plugged it back up and what do you know? The sucker's working again. Now, before you say I should have unplugged it and plugged it back in, I did that. The manual says to unplug for two minutes, then try again. I did that and took it one further by leaving it unplugged for 12 hours and still nothing on Monday. I guess maybe it just needed a few more days. I'm still worried that this is going to happen again, but for now I'm just happy I can get my Wii on again!

And while we're talking about Wii, here's a 9 year old that kills Through the Fire and Flames by DragonForce on Guitar Hero III. I can't even begin to keep up on easy and this kid makes it look easy on expert. Damn kids...

Through the fire and Flames, 8-bit style!

If you're a geek like me, love metal, and love 80's video games, you're sure to like this. It's DragonForce in 8-bit. You can find all kinds of good 8-bit metal songs on You Tube if you want...

T-Shirt of the Day

Today's
T-shirt is from a local band. Not only do they rock, but they're good
friends as well. I hear they may have broken up, or at least taken a
break...whatever the case they're missed already. I'm sure all four
guys will show up in other bands soon (or will hopefully regroup). The
band is Space Age Polymers Company (orSAPCo ). I'm
including a video that I took of them on my camera a couple of years
ago at the World Famous Milestone for your
viewing/listening pleasure...



Gotta love the feedback!

Classic Rock Wednesdays?

You won't find any Eagles here, but I will start you off with the masterful Jeff Lynn and Electric Light Orchestra.

T-Shirt of the Day

Today's selection is my buddy Gregg's fault. He emailed me the link to it, and knowing my weekness when it comes to both T-Shirts and Star Wars, I ended up buying it. Guitar Solo. You can get this booger at Busted Tees. Many other good shirts there as well, with new shirts and a "12 Shirts for $12 Each" sale every week.

You Tube

I post a lot of videos from You Tube, but there's plenty more good stuff out there. I actually have two You Tube profiles filled with favorites. I started the second because I had reached my limit of 500 favorites on the first. Apparently many of them have been deleted though and I now have more free space on the original (which I've been adding to again as well). Check them both out and you'll find plenty of randomness, oddities, music, and a lot of stuff you might remember from your childhood. Also be sure to check out some of my "subscriptions" for even more goodies...I especially recommend knobbynah, as his taste in the good , the bad and the ugly is very similar to mine (plus Isaac's a good friend I've never met).

Heavy Metal Tuesdays?

Since I posted DragonForce last Tuesday I thought maybe I could try to make a feature out of it. Maybe I should devote other days to other genres of music as well...hmmm...

Anyway, here's some Motorhead for your Tuesday!
