Remember back in the 80’s when you would go to the record store, buy a cassette, open it, look at the cover art, read the liner notes, slide the tape in the tape deck and crank it up? You do? Well then…you are an 80’s child…just like me. In today’s world, we don’t buy cassettes [...]

The reviews are in…Casablancas gets a thumbs up.
Realizing that really nobody gives a hoot about this series (other than Suzanne), I enjoy highlighting music tracks I like and I’ve even picked a few hits in the past couple of years (Beyonce’s “Sweet Dreams” is super hot right now and I picked it as a hit [...]

Quick! Somebody needs to save modern music!!!
So…this has been a slow couple of weeks. And it has left me with no choice but to go back into the past and download some tracks that have been waiting patiently for me to download. Not that all of these tracks are oldies, but the new stuff definitely [...]

I KNOW my zombie movies and this guy is NOT in “Night of the Living Dead”

The HORRORS of bad hair…
Can I just say that there has been so much good music come out in the last few months that I can barely keep up. And the past 2 weeks I’ve bought a TON of new music. I can’t seem to stop downloading and I have bought several really good albums [...]
The Return Of 8 Trax: A Workout Mix
Posted in 8 Trax, Music, tagged 8 Trax on September 17, 2009 | 1 Comment »
It has been some time since I last put together a mix of songs for my friends who actually believe I have any sense of music. But a few days ago, a friend asked me for a workout playlist. I hope I didn’t disappoint! Either way, I thought now might be a fun time to [...]

I gotta be honest…I didn’t watch the VMA’s last night (do they still MAKE music videos? Because I haven’t seen any on television in forever…). I was too busy hanging out with my wife & kids and then we tuned in to watch some more Dexter (which is my new favorite show). But this morning [...]

The 80’s called. They want their outfits back…
Today is quite an eclectic mix. I, for one, was a bit surprised at all the good stuff out there this past couple of weeks! Of course, I’m just now getting around to writing about it (see THIS post). So anyway, have fun checking these out and if [...]

Okay…now tilt your head back the OTHER way!
So many choices, so little to choose from. In the past couple of weeks, that has been my mantra. Nothing out there has really grabbed me by my throat and shaken me up. But when you combine the last couple of weeks with this week…you got some decent [...]

Spoon…what?
Not a lot happening on the music front here recently. Don’t know if I would consider it to be the summer doldrums, but it kinda feels stagnate. Anyways…here are a few tracks that I’ve downloaded recently. Can’t say they are as interesting as previous downloads of U2, Green Day or Silversun Pickups, but not every [...]
