What song makes you rock the karaoke mic?
Submitted by Ann.
Without a doubt it's To Cry You a Song. This is a cover of the Jethro Tull toon by Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple, etc.) and Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater, Alice Cooper, etc.). The iTunes clip here is not as good as a part where Hughes totally cuts loose. Great Stuff!
What's on your Top 5 video games list?
Submitted by mileena.
1. Starcraft (bar none - this is my favorite. I can't believe how old it is but it's so great)
2. Pengo (all-time fave from back in the day)
3. Frogger (close second to Pengo - loved the atari home version. I thought the gameplay was as good as the arcade. You know, what's weird is that I listened to music all the time playing home versions, so I always equate certain albums with certain games. Frogger = "White City" by Pete Townshend)
4. Space Invaders = "Zenyata Mendata" by The Police
5. Breakout = '"Sinful" by Angel
Found a new guitarist. I was listening to NPR last week and heard some cool music. You know those little musical interludes they have in between stories? Well, I heard 2 in a row that were really good. The first one was Duke Levine. He has a song called Longhorn that brings to mind Mark Knopfler, Jerry Douglas, and Paul Franklin.
