Better than the Original?
What is your favorite cover song?
Question submitted by Ray.
Easy “Whiskey in the Jar - By Metallica”
While I love the Thin Lizzy recording (which I’m not sure is the original but c’est la vie), Metallica put such an awesome spin to it you just can’t help but get into it.
The close second (Blasphemy) “Faith” by The Boy Least likely to [do not miss the chance to listen to it loud]. This is a great cover for the Q Magazine goes to the 80s collection (and a B-Side I think) How often are you going to hear a song you can dance to that has banjos and a song you can sing along with? Inspired! Faith reminds me of my last few years in grade school and my first years of High School. These are mostly bitter memories, but there is some sweet there too. I was and still am a giant dork after all.
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention “Behind Blue Eyes” by “Limp Bizkit” I really love that cover. Damn me.
Old Content is Old
I spent a few hours yesterday converting old VOX posts into Wordpress Posts. These posts were also propagated to my LJ and all over my social map. Sorry guys.
Some of the old posts have images that work, some do not. I’ll update them as needed with original flickr content.
I skipped over a bunch of content in favor of leaving it on LJ. So don’t expect reposts of anything that came from me between June 2007 and June 2008. I also left out a number of QOTD posts from vox as they didn’t really say anything about me.
In total, I added nearly 100 new posts to this blog and tagged a them all with “vox” (afaik) so if you are new to my blog(s) or just want to stalk me a bit more effectivley, go ahead and look through my archives.
Thanks for visiting!
Oh What a Goo Siam
So I tried to get all slick and use a plugin to import my VOX blog into this blog.
It imported dupes totaling about 800. Nearly 800 extra entries. It nearly killed my server. (Sorry guys)
I really need to set up a test server for this stuff.
Sorry about the downtime folks
Ghost Ride it
I really should have shot this against a dark background… Oh Well!
NiteCat, NiteGirl and I hit the theater yesterday and watched “Ghost Rider”. There was a line outside, leading us to worry that we would be late for the film and that we had greatly underestimated the drawing power of “Ghost Rider”
We were wrong on two counts.
1) We got in to the actual theater in time to see the end of the Spider man 3 trailer.
2) We greatly underestimated the drawing power of “Wild Hogs”.
I could not believe the stream of Nascar driven humanity that was waiting to see “Wild Hogs”, and openly celebrating it.
Wow.
Anyway, Ghost Rider was great. It meshed the Dan Ketch and Johnny Blaze Ghost Riders into one. It was a good movie, lots of action and good special effects. NiteCat LOVED it.
Nick Cage was great as Johnny Cage (giving him a chance to be Elvis on a Motorbike without singing)
The ONLY thing I hated was that Donal Logue was killed. No love for the redhead scotsman?
Change the Channel
Who’s the most annoying person on TV?
It’s a toss-up between Glenn Beck and Nancy Grace.
They really have no place on CNN, and should move to Fox.
I had Two guys sign up for Vox just to comment on this, in reverse order “John Hampton”
ALL of you DUMMIES have GOT to get remote controls for your TVs so if someone as smart as Glenn Beck comes on and makes you think, you can go back to your vegetative, “let someone else handle the world’s problems” state of mind!! Smoke a little more weed. All you have to do is CHANGE the CHANNEL! No viewers? ratings go down! You following, or need I repeat …Ratings go down? Advertisers begin looking elsewhere to promote their product. Capische? Advertisers go down? BECK goes away…(way)…(way)…(ay)..(ay).. a…
and “Rick”
Just out of curiousity, why do they “really have no place on CNN”?
You guys are both, INCREDIBLE ASSHOLES!!! Yay!
You can pick up your prize over at the VA. Have a good one, and thanks for making a big deal out of an offhand comment. I’m glad you joined vox just to comment on my one sentence condemnation of the pointless and inflammatory Beck and Grace.
Maybe Vox will make some money off of you both, granted I imagine you are both some kind of sock puppets. So, good on ya, either way.
Oh, I should also point out that I am incorrect, they have no point on “Headline News”; which should stick to it’s “news every 60 minutes” format and just dump the “Shows” altogether. I like the snippets format they use in the morning and lets me get the minimal dose of national and international news that I like before I see the ‘net.
Glenn Beck and Nancy Grace are “personalities” who belong on a personality-driven news channel. “HEADLINE NEWS” used to be a news driven channel, now it is personality driven, in the evening.
I only know those two by name because I can’t avoid their non-stop commercials.
