Old nerds watching men fight...

So, I'm doing this thing. I'll be showing old 'rasslin videos at the Flicker Theater and Bar in Athens. I hope a few people show up for this thing, then I'll do it again. Maybe it can become a thing? Who knows. I just realized (because of a comment left on this entry) that I didn't type the date for this thing. It's happening on the 16th of May, 2011. BE THERE!

Not sure what I'm gonna show yet. Maybe Starrcade 1990 but, I'm totally open to suggestions and whims.

Which Way Did My Donkey Go?

Hey! I made you guys another mix tape. Nothing on here's really going to blow you away with its obscurity and besides, the internet has sort of made the concept of obscurity old news anyway. This is just a bunch of junk I've been cramming onto my ear-holes lately. Including, but not limited to:
*Tommy Boyce (but not Bobby Hart)
*Songs you probably know pretty well but live recordings of those songs
*Music from the soundtrack of the movies Two Thousand Maniacs! and American Ninja 4
*A non-polka Weird Al song
*A bunch of stuff that I think I've probably put on these compilations before
*My favorite ELO song
And oh, so very much more.

Here's your download link!

As always, feedback in the comments is appreciated, but not required.

Another internet thing for me to stink up.

I have accepted an invitation to post relevant things over at the WFMU Rock 'n' Soul Ichiban blog. I am totally excited about this, and I'll try to live up to the incredibly high standards set by everyone else posting there.

If you haven't already crammed that blog into your internet information aggregation program, you probably should.

UPDATE: I got my posting privileges taken away with no contact or explanation of any kind. Whatever will be, will be...

Summer's Gone...Summer's Over.

I made you another mix tape. You'll like this one. It might make you sad a little, but it'll do a better job making you happy. Just like life. Or something. Whatever, it's just 27 songs crammed together for you to listen to. You might actually be glad you did.

Click here to download the mix tape I made for you.

Oh, and dudes, if you download it, please leave a comment so Ill know whether or not I should do this sort of thing again or just make them and put them on CDs for myself to listen to while I drive to Kroger or whatever.

Thanks!

30 Songs for Summer

Hey, guys. Here are some songs I have been listening to lately. It's nothing rare or hard-to-find really. It's just a bunch of stuff that you may or may not have heard and that I hope you will like. I'm not posting a track list, but you'll get one if you download the file. There is some Serge Gainsbourg on here. And some Ronnie James Dio. And some Gino Washington. And...you know what? It's just 100% awesome. Thanks for reading my bullshit, dudes. I will put more records up as soon as I move back into my living room. I love all 5 of you!

James Marlowe - "All That's Left Now Is A Bottle And Cigarettes" / "All You Did Was Stomp The Floor"

James Marlowe. James Marlowe. Oh, man, James Marlowe. Everyone who has more than a passing interest in records has their own "James Marlowe". Some record that just sits there taunting you and leaving you begging to know more. I saw this in a box, and I'm not going to leave a record with a song called "All You Did Was Stomp The Floor" just sitting there. Man, am I ever glad I did.

James Marlowe was probably from Athens or from the Athens area, but he's not listed in the phone book now. I have never met anyone who knows him, knew him, or knows anything about him. Maybe he'll find this somehow and get in touch. I have to know things like where this was recorded, who is "Greenwood Records", and about 100 more questions.

The sound on this, by the way, is pretty close to what's on the vinyl. The distortion and loudness are there on the record, too, and not a function of any computer trickery (or malfunction, as the case may be). Look, I don't want to talk this one up too much. Just listen to this one, and let it get you through the weekend. This is the best record you'll hear all day.
