Music: THE RANDOMIZER

I know the rules say no advertising but since I'm a hobby comedian I Guess it would be ok. Check out this web site.

www.MarcComedy.com

this is my comedy music web site with links to songs and videos. I do originals and parodies and keep it fairly family friendly. One of the tracks is a parody of where the people are from the little mermaid. If anyone checks out the site please let me know what you think.

I have some questions regarding the plot of "Scared Stupid."

Primarily, it seems they were walking through the woods, went to the house and then went outside and got in their car?!?!? Maybe I missed something earlier in the script!

Ugh...The Car was stolen, yea that's it...

Actually I had just bought a digital converter for my cam camcorder so we taped a quick movie on the fly to test it. Total production time was about 3-5 hours. I've had a few friends want to see it so I posted it for them.

Pandora (not my Ipod technically but still) just threw out a kickin' 5 song series I thought I'd share:

U2 - Beautiful Day
Journey - Be Good To Yourself
Fleetwood Mac - Don't Stop
Peter Gabriel - Solsbury Hill
John Mellencamp - Jack and Diane

Neville Brothers: Gold
Johnny Winter: The Progressive Blues Experiment
Tom Waits: Closing Time
Beach Boys: Made in U.S.A
The Meters: The Very Best of The Meters.

Going all over the place.

Hi,

Impulse buy today on my day off. Went to Tunes New and Used CDs here in Voorhees, NJ and got three live CD albums:

Lynyrd Skynyrd:
Authorized Bootleg--Cardiff Capitol Theatre, Cardiff, Wales, 11/4/1975.
Authorized Bootleg--Winterland Ballroom, San Francisco, CA 3/7/1976.

Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble: Live Alive--Montreux Jazz Festival, 7/16/1985; Austin (TX) Opera House, 7/17-18/1986.

Jim

Stevie Ray Vaughn is required listening down here in Texas. As a guitar guy I'm sure you can appreciate him. Is he in the upper echelons of your "guitar gods?"

I think that live album is the same one I have, I'll have to check.

Hi,

Sure, SRV is way up there, another who left us way too soon. But surprisingly, I don't have everything by him. In addition to Live Alive (a thirteen-track, 70+-minute disc), I have a DVD of him live at Toronto's El Mocambo club (the same DVD that's in the SRV box set?); the two-CD comp *The Essential Stevie Ray Vaughn*; and the single-disc *Texas Flood*.

In the CD changer right now is 38 Special--*Special Forces*; *Strength in Numbers*; *Tour De Force*; and *Wild-Eyed Southern Boys*--and Irma Thomas--*True Believer*.

Jim

That's a lot of 38 Special! My chief complaint with them was the similarity in a lot of their songs. That's not to say I don't like them, just all the songs I enjoyed were very similar. Do you prefer one of those albums?

Some of my favorites mentioned here.
Me First and the Gimme Gimme's
Bad Religion
The Postal Service
Jimmy Eat World
TMBG 'cause everybody wants prosthetic foreheads on their real heads.

Good taste guys and gals.

My five:
Subway to Sally - Traum vom Tod II (German Celtic medieval folk rock metal...mmmm...good stuff)
Senses Fail - The Irony of Dying on your Birthday
Rufio - Tears
Deathcab for Cutie - Earth Angel
10,000 Maniacs - Every Day is Like Sunday (LOVE Morrissey, but I like this version better)

I am one of those people that listens to everything (well everything but rap). I like pop, musicals, rock, classic rock, soft rock, country, jazz, classical, wizard rock ect.

Here are my five (I only used my top rated list since I have 14580 songs on my iPod)

1. Rubber Ducks by RiddleTM (a wizard rock group of two twins who have beautiful voices).
2. Not That Kin of Thing - Wedding Singer
3. Movin' Out - Billy Joel
4. Eleanor Rigby - David Cook version
5. I Get A Kick Out Of You - Frank Sinatra.

Not surprisingly, my music is much more like Caitie's - minus the wizard rock stuff. I'm guessing I'm going to get a bunch of obscure musicals. So....
That said, my five:

1)Blame Canada - South Park soundtrack
2)No One Is Alone - Norm Lewis (from Into the Woods)
3)The Girl in 14G - Kristen Chenoweth
4)Midnight Radio - Hedwig and the Angry Inch
5)Lonesome Day - Bruce Springsteen

You know, I really enjoy the Smiths and can even like some Morrissey solo stuff, but ultimately that guy just eventually rubs me the wrong way so much I can't enjoy his music for very long. I suspect I'd like every Morrissey song better when sung by 10,000 Maniacs.

David Cook, like the American Idol guy?

Such a good song and such a good album. He's one of the few artists that I've loved forever and still love his new(ish) stuff. The Rising was just amazing.

I haven't taken a spin for a while:

1.) Dreamtime - Daryl Hall
2.) Only Solutions - Journey
3.) Laughing With God - Regina Spektor
4.) Daylight - Matt and Kim
5.) Badlands - Bruce Springsteen

That was quite a spin. I felt like listening to every song in it.

I think that's one Journey song I've never heard! Maybe it's one of those things that "when I hear it, I'll know it."

Hmm. My ipod is a bit too far away at the moment (two flights of stairs), so I'll have to check in with the randomizer later today!

Good morning!
