‘Ello Gubna(‘s?) It is quite amazing what a ridiculously high load class plus bonus season at work will do to free time! Fortunately I’m getting my head above water. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll finish these two series up here soon. DMB – Busted Stuff This album was the first DMB album that I didn’t [...]
Thousand Foot Krutch – Set it Off 2001 was a good year for EK and I musically. We went from the valley to the bay, and met some good friends along the way. The First friend (of us – as opposed to previously was friends with EK) was Shane. We worked together [...]
Eiffel 65 – Europop If you are reading this blog, I can safely assume that you are probably nine or above. If you are, you have heard this CD before. There is definitely the song “Blue”. You have heard this song, so I’m not going to cover it. What I am going [...] Fatboy Slim – You've Come a Long Way Baby While it’s not a huge important meaningful release, I put this album into the docket because it was the first techno album that EK ever listened to and actually liked.
98 Degrees – 98 Degrees and Rising 98 Degrees (98 disease, as I used to mockingly [...]
Natalie Imbruglia – Left of the Middle While “Left of the Middle” is definitely the best album from Natalie Imbruglia, it also shares a special distinction as being the first CD I ever converted into MP3 format. Yep, that’s right, Granpa PKillur has been involved in digitizing his music for 12 years now. The [...]
Jamaroquai – Traveling Without Moving Jamiroquai was an interesting band to me. What were they exactly? Funk? Dance? Techno? I’m still not quite sure to be honest with you. The song “Virtual Insanity” was by far the most memorable and notedly popular off of this album (and probably of the band’s history – maybe [...]
Tori Amos – Boys for Pele Tori Amos has always piqued my curiosity – I had yet to buy an album from her until Boys for Pele came out. I really enjoyed her strange type of music that was strong chick vocals backed by a piano. Lyrically, I gotta be honest here, I rarely understood [...]
Queensryche – Promised Land My six month(ish) stint at being a pharisee was over by the year I turned 14. It did me no good to be a jerk to my former friends, and honestly all of the other kids that were acting like I did were pretty strange. I attribute this to the [...]
Weird Al – Alapalooza I loved this CD. I swung between two extremes this year. This was the only album that I listened to through all of my extremist personality swings (Hey, I was in Jr. High after all!). I would say my favorite song off of this album was ‘Franks 2000 Inch [...] Ace of Base – The Sign I have often thought of myself as someone who often eschews the mainstream and goes for stuff on the fringe edge. With technology, music, and books, I usually love “not the normal” kind of stuff. Except when I don’t. I would like to quote the esteemed Yahtzee [...]
Kris Kross – Totally Krossed Out The first CD’s I can think of this year were the famous songs of “Jumping” that seemed to kick of 1992. What exactly am I referring to? You know you had this CD, and you are lying if you say you didn’t. It was “Totally Krossed Out” [...]
Linda Rondstadt – Annoy the crap out of non-spanish-speaking-children (subtitled: Canciones di padre) Being with my new sisters for a solid year, I got brought deep into two circles of music. One of them was hard rock of the late 80′s and 90′s and then also the seventh circle of hell, known as Linda Rondstandt. [...]
Milli Vanilli – All or Nothing Elementary life in full swing, I got a quick boot into third grade, complete with Mrs’ Mansel – who is quite possible the most evil teacher of all time (she will be featured in an upcoming Lifechanger). Though we had moved in with my sisters, life was a little [...] I know that at least one tape sticks out in my mind in 1988. It was a very strange year for us indeed as we moved into a house with my brother’s dad. He had 4 daughters and so I instantly had siblings. That was very very odd. I went from no [...] Def Leppard – Hysteria This was a breakout year for my music palate. I distinctly remember that the first album someone was with me to buy (other than my mom I believe) was Def Leppard’s Hysteria. This someone happened to be none other than grandpa Tom. Grandpa Tom was an awesome man, whom [...] 1986 to 1987 were pretty mellow years. My grandparents business was becoming slightly profitable, so we lived a bit better than before. Most of this time was spent in our Pebble Creek apartment. Me going to school and crawdad fishing, while I wasn’t shooting people with BB Guns and lighting fields on fire
Peter Gabriel – So
Peter Gabriel: So, was the album we listened to a whole lot this year. Who doesn’t love Sledgehammer, with it’s insanely weird video to boot? For my money, I really liked the song “In your eyes” the best off of this album. The imagery in the song still takes [...] Today’s post is going to be kinda short. I’m still drawing off of very limited memories of this time (5-6 Y.O.). Was still rocking out to Sesame Street and the likes. We are the World Major music I listened to was “We are the World” by a gajillion people. A-ha – Hunting High and Low Also, [...]
Michael Jackson's Thriller The year was 1983-84. The cola wars were in full swing. Coca-Cola had definitely suffered major losses by losing my 4 year old indulgences to Pepsi. Why, you ask? Because, although a lot of really great music came out in the years between 83-84 I don’t remember anything but [...] The year between my birthday 1982 and 1983 was fairly unmemorable except that I remember two things when it came to music and life. The first thing is that we got a stacked stereo system complete with amplifier, EQ, tape deck, receiver and turntable. I thought that the tapes were FREAKING AWESOME! They [...] |
