We will have details soon... and invites and official logos and so on....
Sounds like we'll have a similar line up as last year... working on a a new act or two... should be a great time. Spread the word... invite your friends... we're less than three months out!
Hey peoples... In honor of EARTH DAY today... we'll go with John Gorka doing "Houses in the Fields"... a bit of a cheesy video but a great message.... all I have to say is (as John says).... "THE SPACES WON'T BE SPACES ANYMORE"... ... ... Peace.
So... back in the day I lived and died for MTV's Headbangers Ball... some of you younger folks may not even know what the hell that is.... anyway, now I'm rockin' out to Bob Dylan, the Avett Brothers and Dr. Dog... BUT... I'd like to pay some tribute - good, bad or ugly, to my teenage past.... so here we have........... the top (or bottom) three best (or worst - more likely worst) videos from the very late 80's or very early 90's.... oh, and no matter how painful it is... watch the WHOLE VIDEO!!! here we go... At number three... GOTHIC SLAM rocking "Who Died and Made You God?"
And number two... we'll go with M.O.D blasting out the screw-you-to-fluffy-hair-rock "True Colors"
And the number one greatest horse-shit video in Headbangers Ball history (at least until I can remember one that is worse....and that will probably take 3 minutes) goes to.... Yankee Rose by David Lee Roth...yeah, they actually played this on HBB - and to be honest it isn't in the same genre as the other two videos but Roth shaking ass, thrusting his man-ness at you and pretending his microphone is a penis...all I can say is ... ENJOY!
Hey peoples... didn't have to work all all this week... spring break at the schoolhouse... ya'll need to make a career change and get a job in education... you won't get rich but it's just much easier on your constitution.
So HAPPY EASTER to everyone... DellMarie and I didn't make the trip on down to the metropolis to celebrate with the family... instead we opted to have a little Easter of our own here with some nice crab and parmesean stuffed mushrooms for dinner... can't wait.
The TomTEN date is tentatively scheduled.... pencil in your calendars for Saturday, July 17. The dingwop will be BIGGER AN BETTER than last year... or your money back!
Oh, almost forgot... the title of the post... in a sure sign spring has sprung... we saw one of these guys today flying around the backyard... good to see... and quite a beautiful bird to see...
So with hockey season wrapping up and the NHL heading into playoffs, I'm augmenting my Song of the Week this week and going with something special for all you hockey fans out there... or even Pulp Fiction fans... or even Samuel L. Jackson fans... Think my new band name might be... Inglewood Jack
Not sure what else to say... I was quite proud of my big beard... the kids at school asked me why I might shave it, like I was a lunatic - one even said "Mr. Misgen without a beard would be like cereal without milk".... no lie...... DellMarie hates....HATES my clean shaven face.... but it will grow back... so here is my once-a-year shave.....
The before.......
And....
The....
After.....................................
As you can see... I actually broke a sweat sawing through the big beast.... but I'm cold now!
Thanks for taking an interest in my facial hair!
~Caio....
Oh, coming soon... TomTEN Date!
Oh again.... so this week's tune... GONE DADDY GONE... THE VIOLENT FEMMES.... 2 things that are ridiculous in this video... The bass player's mullet AND the mosh pit!?!?!
A preview of things to come... the Big Beard is GONE!... look for that post soon... anyway... was thinking I haven't posted anything lately... just been buckling down at work... contract negotiations and such.... anyway... I'm doubling up on the song of the week.... The first selection.... Blaas of Glory doing the Motorhead classic Ace of Spades....
How can you follow that up??... well, you just can't but we'll go with.... The John Butler Trio.... doing Zebra... where the drummer actually knows how to intelligently play the cowbell.. rather than the BOC "more cowbell" style... anyway, good stuff comin' atcha. http://
Hey folks... So I'm going to steal 2-Niner's idea (happy birthday by the way!) with the Thumbs Up Thumbs Down for this week's entry. So here we go...
Thumbs Up "The Dude" Jeff Bridges getting the Oscar nod for Crazy Heart Thumbs Down Sandra "I play crappy-sappy-poop roles" Bullock and get an Oscar nod too.
Thumbs Up Walking into the local gas station and hearing the Avett Brothers on the radio Thumbs Down Missing the Avett Brothers show at First Avenue this last Friday... found out too late... sold out... still makes me angry
Thumbs Up This week's Minnesota State HS Hockey Tournament and taking Wednesday, Thursday and Friday off of work just to sit on my ass and watch it Thumbs Down Probably not winning any money in the annual Minnesota State HS Hockey Tournament board.... yeah, we bet on high school sports....
Thumbs Up Olympic Hockey, snowboarding, bobsled, downhill skiing and speed skating Thumbs Down NBC's Olympic coverage - let's play Ice dancing rather than the US-Canada hockey game... really? Oh, and then we're going to cover snowboarding... we just won't tell you when exactly... but we'll show you like 3 dramatic heart-warming side stories in the mean time that Jimmy Roberts gets a big boner over... and then you'll have to listen to Dick Button talk about how simply exsquisite the ice dancing was....
Thumbs Up Erbert's and Gerbert's Subs Thumbs Down Walking into Erbert's and Gerbert's in SoupTown and some sketchy dude walking up to me and asking "Are you Dave?" No... "Oh, I haven't seen him in like 20 years... but you look just like him"... wow.
That was fun... thanks Streh-Rod. And the song of the week goes to soul rockers..... BLACK JOE LEWIS & THE HONEY BEARS doing SUGARFOOT... get your groove on....
