April 29 - Albums
Occasionally, I like to let you know what I am listening to and find out what everyone else is listening to. This morning on my way out the door I grabbed some CD’s to listen to, and it just hit me how completely different and random the selection is.
Pink Floyd – Animals – I don’t think I have to say anything about this one. Most people know it.
Tonic – Head on Straight – I think I might be the only person in America who owns this album. It is emotional adult contemporary rock, and a guilty pleasure.
Nine Inch Nails – And All that Could Have Been – This is a special CD with different, almost unplugged versions of NIN songs.
Thursday – Full Collapse – Indie/Emo/Hardcore band from New Jersey. The cover of the album when I bought it had a sticker that said something to the effect of, “This is what it would sound like if Morrissey had joined a hardcore band.”
Frederik Thordendal’s Special Defects/Sol Niger Within Version 3.33 – And yes that is the entire title of this crazy disc. This is the guitarist from Swedish metal band Meshuggah with his own experimental, eclectic disc which plays like a single traveling piece of work. I am not sure exactly what to classify this, but it has 28 tracks. Weird and compelling stuff.
Anyway, is that random enough for you? There is such a wide gap between Tonic and Frederik Thordendal, I can’t even tell you. Then throw in Pink Floyd and Thursday and you have a music fan on crack.
Let me know what crazy stuff you are listening to.

If you become too accepting of a condition that you really don’t want to encourage, you might just end up with unintended consequences.
Alan Thicke is a seven-time Emmy Award-nominated actor and writer and a Golden Globe nominee for his role as psychiatrist Jason Sever on Growing Pains. In Canada he authored a nationally syndicated humor column and hosted the hit talk variety series THE ALAN THICKE SHOW, and the late-night Thicke of the Night in the U.S. In 1998 he made his Broadway debut in the Tony Award winning Chicago-The Musical. He has been honored as Father of the Year by numerous family oriented charities, and his proudest productions are his three sons.
I think Deezo’s head has been overtaken by the Disney channel. One too many Growing pains reruns my man.
But as long as we are on the topic, does anyone remember that episode that was an obvious ploy by the show producers to win an emmy? I think it was actually two parts with Tracy Gold’s character dealing with her boyfriend’s suicide.
Sitcoms shouldn’t attempt to deal with serious subject matters. Any show that ends with the actors breaking character to deliver a message about how to get more information on a topic discussed during the show should be canceled. Self-important bastards.

ALAN THICKE grew up in the rough-and-tumble gold mining town of Kirkland Lake, Ontario, in the far north of Canada. “There were two ways a guy could get out of town,” he muses, “play hockey or get a girl pregnant. I wasn’t good enough at either.” Consequently, ALAN entertained his way out, doing stand-up comedy and singing in a rock-and-roll band.
NIN-All That Could Have Been is the best purchase out of all your CD’s. I wonder what happened to the Tapeworm project (Maynard, Trent, etc)?
Yeah, I don’t know what happened to the tapeworm project either. I heard trent was working on the next installment of the quake/Doom series or whatever. I bet he is getting paid well, and you know he will do a good job, but I would prefer he spend his time in the studio creating albums instead of sound effects and background elements for video games.
