Music Monday: 16
Happy Music Monday! 16 is often loved by musicians because it's that tipping point of life. You're still young enough to be eager and excited but you're old enough to be kinda starting your life. You've got your own money, job and vehicle (sometimes) but you usually don't have to pay rent, keep up with bills or consider the future. Is it any wonder that THIS is the music industry's prime target? Today Scott's celebrating the 16th with five songs about the number 16.
Chuck Berry - Sweet Little Sixteen
Yeah, Chuck's not the person you'd want taking your sixteen year old girl on a date, but the man can, did, and will continue to rock. This song right here is one of the primary reasons the number 16 continues to hang out in rock 'n roll.
More 16s to come. See you after the jump!
Music Monday: Live Sets
Happy Music Monday! This week is more of a storytelling theme. Scott's gonna give you five bands he's enjoyed live, and then get out of the way. It'll be up to you guys to bring this one to life by telling your favorite concert stories. Who did you love, why did you love them, what were the best concerts you ever saw? Consider this the warm-up act.
Morphine is low-key in style, but the band was just soaked in energy. I saw them for the first time in a super-small club with a handful of people, and they still brought it. Mark Sandman doing harmonics while Dana Colley played two saxes at the same time? Perfect. And to this day, I remember it well.
More good music coming after the jump, and then it'll be time for YOUR story!
Music Monday: June
Happy Music Monday! It's June, it's June! And it's gonna be not-June before we know it. So let's celebrate what we have while we have it. Today's playlist is full of June songs.
I think I covered my love for Nina Simone a couple of weeks ago, so I'll just say instead: this one's for you, dakillabee.
See you after the jump!
Bobby Gentry - Ode To Billy Joe
Reebok Men's Performance Shorts
Ath1337
Get stylish! Get athletic! Get relaxed and comfy! Get some ice cream!
Okay, yeah, you absolutely COULD use these Reebok Athletic Shorts for workouts and for jogging and for karate practice and for parkour and for whatever your active lifestyle demands. But the truth? The truth is you're probably gonna pull 'em on and lounge on the couch watching a Doctor Who marathon. And you know what? That's cool with us.
Because it's your life, right? If you feel like your legs are too hot from the air coming from the Xbox's fan... okay! If you want to show off your knees in December while taking a cab to the pizza place at the end of the block... go for it! We're not at all troubled or upset by this. It has nothing to do with us! Not one bit!
Dyson Air Multiplier - 2 Colors
Like 4 4x-es
Sort of like a power-up for your comfort level.
Gamers, we beseech thee: take a good hard look at this air multiplier. Not with your day-to-day eyes, no no. With your gamer vision. The well-trained eyes that let you differentiate the door to the key card from the door to the monster room. What do THOSE eyes tell you? Aw, yeah. You see it now. This air multiplier is a 16x.
Go on, think about it. When have you ever before passed up anything that said "16x"? If this were energy, you'd zoom across the map to snag one. If this were coins, you'd bounce up to grab it. If this were laser beams, you'd pilot your ship on a collision course in hopes you'd grab it before your enemy did. And you're thinking about passing this by?
Good Ideas Composters
Presto Fertilizo
You shall not pass (your organic waste into the garbage).
BOOM! "What was that? Where did all this smoke come from? And WHAT'S THAT SMELL?"
'Tis I, the Compost Wizard!
"Wugh! You reek, man!"
Merely a side effect of my powers arcane! I come to transform your organic waste into rich, verdant loam!
"OK, great, but first how about you alakazam that stank out of here? I'm choking, literally choking."
You've made your point! I'm aware of the smell! Now, bring forth your organic waste, that I may work my alchemical wonder 'pon its putrefacting-
"Look, seriously, man, compost is great and everything, but I don't know how much more of this I can take."
Fila Men's Performance Polos, 9 Colors
Out of Sync
The perfect gift for Father's Day! But the rest of the boys are gonna have to earn it.
OK, Boys. Let's take it from the top! Ready? And a five, six, seven, eight... Forward forward forward forward. Side glance side glance. Kick ball-change stomp stomp. Sashay left hip shake. Do the swan do the swan. Jazz hands. Golf clap. Opera face. Oprah face. Chuck Norris punch to the... STOP STOP STOP!
Damien. Honey. You're still missing the third beat. You're Oprah-facing when you're supposed to be Chuck Norrising. Now we've talked about this. If you want to wear that Fila Men's Performance Polo, you have to earn it. And quite frankly, I don't think you have. Does anyone here think that Damien has earned it? Anyone?
Music Monday: Memories
Happy Music Monday! If you're like us… you're not working today. Isn't that GREAT?? If you're not like us we're sorry and hope you get some time off soon. Regardless, today is a great day to remember the past, so Scott's made another mix full of memory songs.
Johnny Thunders - You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory
You know, I've simply GOT to stop leading with the best song. Johnny Thunders had a hard life and kinda ruined it all by himself, but with a song like this, you get the feeling he knew what he was doing. A lovely, heartbreaking piece. Appropriately enough.
Still four more coming inside! See you after the jump.
Luxury Gel 12" Memory Foam Mattress
Strange Bedfellows
Love is a many slumbered thing.
"Wha - aw, jeez, Stammy, what are you doing ringing my doorbell at three in the morning? I was asleep upstairs."
"Bram, I have to tell you something, and it can't wait any longer: Your mattress and I are in love."
"Am I still asleep?"
"No, Bram, you're not dreaming. This is real. My feelings are real. I won't stand idle while a beautiful thing passes me by. I am in love with your mattress and I'd like to ask for its hand in marriage."
"Stam, you can't marry my mattress. You can't marry my mattress for all kinds of reasons."
"Well, I'd really prefer you carefully consider things before you give me an answer. You're dealing with my emotions here. My heart is in your hands."
"Let's confront with the easiest obstacle first, Stammy. If you marry my mattress, where will I sleep?"
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 TAB-Stravaganza
Wag Wag Wag
How can you choose between these Samsung Galaxy Tablets? Answer: YOU CAN'T. BUY THEM ALL.
Look, we don't want to say it, but we're gonna say it: each of these tablets that you don't buy... we'll have to send them to a farm. That's right. A farm upstate where tablets can run and play and be happy. Except the farmer makes us pay rent for every tablet that goes to that farm. And how does he demand rent? You got it. In Bags Of Crap.
So every tablet we don't sell is one less Bag Of Crap we can offer you, the gentle reader. We implore you: DON'T MAKE US SEND ANY MORE TABLETS TO THAT FARM UPSTATE! Instead, buy a tablet here today, raise it as your own, love it, enjoy all the apps and features you'll see listed over on the side. And maybe, just maybe, we'll stop sending crap to that farmer once and for all.
