I found an amazing repository of 80s music videos at http://www.milinkito.com/los80.php. They don't have everything but I can pretend it's 1982 and I'm watching Martha Quinn for an afternoon of music videos. Most of the artists only have one entry but if you click into that video, there will usually be more available from them.

I got into a "don't get near me" thing at the grocery store. People kept standing so close to me and it was driving me crazy. I just wanted to push them yell "Leave me the fffuuck (I push as I say "fffuuck" to emphasize it) alone!". But that's what paranoids do and I'm not paranoid, am I? Ha. I get into this mode where...

So Robot Record Party is getting closer to launch. Maybe three weeks? A month? We interviewed Wanda Jackson today. What an interesting lady! Her and Elvis toured together on Elvis' first tour. She's a 70 year old woman signed to Cleopatra Records. How can that not be interesting?
We've almost got enough material for the first 4 shows but want to get 6 shows ahead...

We've got enough material for the first 4 shows but want to get 6 shows ahead before we launch.
The show is modular, and I think each party stands alone well enough.
1. Song Reviews - We review songs that are put out on artist and label websites. We talk about what we hear in the music, possible influences, why it's interesting or sucks, etc.
Oh, did I mention it's random what song we'll get? It's kind of MST3K in that vein.
2. Interviews- We want to talk to both musicians and music-lovers. We want to get to the heart of what turns people on about a certain song, artist, or album. We want non-ironic discussions about the nature of music and why it affects us so.
3. Music Term of the Week- We've been working with a friend who is a doctorate of composition about musical terms. We'll try to cover one each show in an interesting and entertaining way. For instance- What is a Concerto? What differentiates that from other musical movements? Or another week perhaps- What is Reverb? All the while we'll use funny and effective musical examples to illuminate the term.
4. Point/Counterpoint- Must think of a better name for this. My parnter, LT and I will take opposite sides of a musical issue- and believe me when I say we disagree on plenty. He thinks the White album is the Beatles worst album, I think he's insane as it's easily in my top three favorite Beatles albums.
It should be shaping up to launch in the next month. (cross fingers)

Yes, it's cheezy. But I can't get this ELO song out of my head. Cheezy though it may be, it's also absolutely beautiful.
The painted ladies of the Avalon
play in the sun,
Take to the road,
to the North there lies the chills of cold,
to the South there lies the tales untold.
But in between there lies
the place to close your eyes....

Well, kicking in the New Year was a blast! We had a party at our house and saw friends old and new. I had taken the week off to prepare for the party and get some other things done. Now that I'm back at work, it actually feels as if the new year has officially begun.
I began another diet, less a diet- more a...

I went to Indy yesterday to do some work for the sales office up there. They needed to do some on-site client audio recording and couldn't figure out how to work the new minidisc player. So I show up to show them how to use it. I drive up from Bloomington, walk into the office and greet the saleswomen I'm gonig to be teaching and...
