What to Post? What to Post?

Man I have neglected this blog. Truth be told, I got really into Twitter for a while, got super busy at work and didn't really see anything worth writing about that wasn't just rehash. This happens to me from time to time and I always come back to the trusty old blog that I have had since 2006 when my ears rang far, far less than they do today.

Anyway, ahem...

So, scanning the dial so to speak, I see a few things happening. Gary Moore dying by choking on vomit. That sucks and he was a fantastic guitar player. A great loss.

Rush is remastering its album Vapor Trails. That is a very good idea, as the album is widely derived as super muddy sounding. Alex Lifeson told Classic Rock Magazine that "perhaps we should have taken more time over the record." Really? I think 14 months was quite enough. Maybe they should have taken 3 months and banged it out - those always seem to sound much better. Anyway, I love that album so I will be happy to hear a new version.

The Back Eyed Peas boring everyone to death with their bullshit Super Bowl halftime show, and while Christina Aguilera can really sing she trashed the anthem by flubbing some key lines. I guess they are all kind of important...

But you know what I am most excited about? Beavis and Butthead are coming back to MTV! That's the big news this week and I can't wait for them to eviscerate modern shitball artists like the Peas, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga and all the rest of it. Bring it on BandB!

Yes, Gary Moore choked on vomit, but do they know who's vomit it was? Did they dust for vomit?
Seriously, though, sad loss for the hard rock world. I remember having one of his solo albums in high school that rocked pretty hard. I'll have to hunt for it on iTunes as a tribute...

Yeah, I realize my comment was short and not respectful. Moore was a great player. I saw him open for Rush (I think - maybe Deep Purple) right around when Victims of the Future came out - he was killer. Gone too soon and for a really lousy reason.
