A couple of months back, I posted a writeup on the Last.fm service. Since that time, I have gradually moved away from that service and found another that was more to my liking. That service is Slacker Radio and it was first introduced to me by Guy via Twitter. The most important feature about a music service, to me, is that it not be too repetitive.

Before we get down to the title of this post, I want to say that it is very rare that I play a video, found on the internet, a number of times, back to back to back.

All of a sudden this song stopped me in my tracks and sparked a vivid memory of my childhood. Back when I was very young, less than ten …
Last week we talked classic television, now lets talk classic music. Last week I needed to make a trip down to my parents house to pick up some material for a project that I am working on. While there my father and brother were talking about possibly going to a concert in Allentown. A couple of months ago my brother got ahold of a few tickets to a show at Crocodile Rock to see Saliva and Sevendust. My father has …
