Now that we're in the 2000's, it's so much easier to write the year in roman numerals, yanno? Screw that 1986 MCMLXXXVI crap.
OK, enough of that. I hope you all had a good, safe New Year's. Most of you have today off. I'm one of the unlucky bastards who doesn't. But hey, it's all good. Most of the people around here took a vacation day, so while it sucks that I have to be here, at least it's quiet. And there was absolutely
traffic. Gotta love that.
I can't forget a batch of music to kick off the new year... as always, from
last week's lyrics quiz (which was a bit more difficult than usual this week)... git yer right click fingers ready...
1. Welcome to to the planet. Welcome to existence. Oh yeah, that's Dare You to Move, by Switchfoot.
3. Baby. I get so scared inside, and I don't really understand... is it love that's on my mind, or is it fantasy? One of the "greatest" duets ever, it's Lita Ford and Ozzy Osbourne with If I Close My Eyes Forever.
4. Satisfaction came in a chain reaction. I couldn't get enough, so I had to self-destruct. I thought this was by far the easiest of the batch, yet only one person knew it. Maybe it woulda been easier if I just said "Burn baby burn." It's Disco Inferno by The Trammps.
6. You know in some way, you're a lot like me. You're just a prisoner, and you're tryin' to break free. Think "Brat Pack." Think "St. Elmo's Fire." Think John Parr's theme song Man in Motion."
7. Time and time again, I see a love that seemed strong, was not meant to be. Broken hearts don’t always mend... left too unsure to try love again. Not surprised that nobody got this one. It's April Wine with Just Between You and Me.
9. And Boo, you need to stop thinkin' and come on with me. I wanna take you home with me, to be alone with me. Woo woooooo, it's the Quad City DJ's with C'mon Ride the Train.
And the bonus. Always a bonus. An odd mash-up, and I don't know if I like it. The jury's still out. Here, listen. What do you think?
Well, I suppose I should get some work done...
