My I Aten’t Ded Post-Weekend Post.

So what did everyone watch this weekend? This was the first weekend in at least a month that I had nothing scheduled, so I declared a plan-free mental health weekend, where my only goal was to go nowhere and do as little as possible. It actually managed to knock a few things off my long […]

B Fest Fans – Help Keep a Tradition Alive

For any B Fest fans out there, long time attendee Tim who distributes the annual ‘soundtrack’ CDs to all and sundry could use a little help keeping the tradition going for B Fest 2017. My first year as an attendee he came up to me out of nowhere and presented me with all of the […]

This is a thing!!!

I mean guys wrestling in giant monster suits as they destroy cardboard cites! How could this be not be awesome in every conceivable way? Called Kaiju Big Battel, it’s apparently been around for for years and now has a weekly home on the new The Monster Channel. […]

Word Salad Wednesday: Guns ‘n Roses – Night Train

Jeez, spoiled for choice with these guys, their entire lyrical output appears to have been produced by an epileptic twelve-year-old with Tourette’s. The music may have been cool but the lyrics were about as sensible as the concept of Chinese democracy. I really hope these were written under the influence of the shitty namesake wine, […]

Random Thoughts: Father’s Day Edition

Just some things I’ve been musing upon that don’t deserve whole blogs to themselves. Played The Adventures of Tom Stranger, Interdimentional Insurance Agent for the nerdlings (now 11 on Tuesday and 14, respectively) and their enjoyment confirmed that I do indeed have a teen boy trapped in my head, driving the humor train. Not sure […]

Something “Strange” for Your Tuesday

Since I broke my own no-politics-on-the-blog rule yesterday and since this has been a pretty damned dark week for the nation, I thought we could all use a good laugh today. Larry Correia’s The Adventures of Tom Strange, Interdimentional Insurance Agent is currently available through June 21st as a free audiobook from Audible. I […]

Word Salad Wednesday – Lordi: Get Heavy

“Warp into Monster Disco Hell!” Boy, oh boy, oh boy. This one’s a hot mess. I’d use the excuse that the band is Finnish and not singing in their native tongue, except I’m pretty sure that Tomi Putaansuu’s (OK, brief interruption. Because I am just proud as hell that I spelled that right, in the […]

Word Salad Wednesdays – Dio: Holy Diver

So I’ve got major ankle surgery coming up at the end of June and will be in a cast for three months post-op, so I’ve been spending a lot of my free time working on long-procrastinated household projects (as opposed to long-procrastinated blog posts*) that have got to get done before I’m laid up or […]

Word-Salad Wednesday: Sabaton – Metal Ripper

OK, I’m cheating a bit here, due to the context of the song, but it turned out relatively nonsensical regardless, so I’m going to go with it. While Sabaton is best known for being Schoolhouse Rock for the headbanging crowd (at least as far as History is concerned), they have never neglected their metal roots and a number of albums contain a final track that acts as a tribute to their musical influences. Metal Ripper from Coat of Arms is one of these, combining lyrical phrases from a number of well-known metal songs to make something new. And jumbled.

And hey, for once the lyrics are included!

Word-Salad Wednesdays: Ratt – “Round and Round”

OK, I’m pretty sure I posted this video before, but it’s such a perfect example of the throw-random-rhyming-words-at-the-wall-and-see-what-sticks school of lyricism that I had to include it. Besides I am just old and nerdy enough to remember Milton Berle fondly.

Actual Lyrics

Out on the streets, that’s where we’ll meet
You make the night, I always cross the line
Tightened our belts, abused ourselves
Get in our way, we’ll put you on your shelf

Another day, some other way
We’re gonna go, but then we’ll see you again
I’ve had enough, we’ve had enough
Cold in vain, she said

I knew right from the beginning
That you would end up winnin’
I knew right from the start
You’d put an arrow through my heart

Round and round
With love we’ll find a way just give it time
Round and round
What comes around goes around
I’ll tell you why, dig

Lookin’ at you, lookin’ at me
The way you move, you know it’s easy to see
The neon light’s on me tonight
I’ve got a way, we’re gonna prove it tonight

Like Romeo to Juliet, time and time
I’m gonna make you mine
I’ve had enough, we’ve had enough
It’s all the same, she said

I knew right from the beginning
That you would end up winnin’
I knew right from the start
You’d put an arrow through my heart

Round and round
With love we’ll find a way just give it time
Round and round
What comes around, goes around
I’ll tell you why, yeah

Out on the streets that’s where we’ll meet
You make the night I always cross the line
Tightened our belts abuse ourselves
Get in our way, we’ll put you on your shelf

Round and round
With love we’ll find a way, just give it time
Round and round
What comes around, goes around
I’ll tell you why
