Do you wanna see a cool music video? Check out this animated video set to the band Rush’s classic instrumental.

Props to Rush on a great song and also to a creative individual named Bobby Standridge. Bobby Standridge explains the inspiration for this video on Neil Peart’s website.

I realize this is sort of old news but how cool is this? In another sign that the music industry is loosing ground, a major artist is using non-traditional means to distribute music. Mega-legend Paul McCartney has made his new album, “Memory Almost Full” available on the DRM free music download service eMusic.

What is even cooler is the fact that you can go there right now, sign up for free and take advantage of the 25 Free Downloads promotion to get the whole album for free.

Check it out and while there take a look around, there is a ton of great indie music available throughout the site.

How many times can you hear a song that you like (or love) before you just can not stand it anymore because it is overplayed to death? Whether it is on the radio, on a jukebox, performed by a cover band or God forbid…karaoke. I have a few that I would like to share with you. Maybe it is just where I live.

1) “You Shook Me All Night Long” by AC/DC – It’s fucking everywhere. They have too many other good songs to play than to be pounding away on this one every day.

2) “Sweet Home Alabama” by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Would be much better in smaller doses.

3) “Sweet Emotion” by Aerosmith – Again, good band with a ton of other stuff to play.

4) “Crazy Train” Ozzy Osbourne – Great song, great guitarist. Let’s just put it away for awhile.

5) “Takin’ Care of Business” – BTO – Not sure if I ever need to hear this one again.

I am sure I missed some. I’m sure you have one or two you’d like to add to the list so don’t just sit there, put your hands on the keyboard and type something.

Taking a trip to the grocery store to get a few movies turned out to be an enlightening experience. Turns out that Steely Dan and I do not see eye to eye when it comes to choice of fine liquor.

Imagine this. There I am rolling down the road, iPod on mix and on pops “Hey Nineteen.” It sounds great; thumping base, silky smooth groove and great harmonies (what else would would you expect from Steely Dan?). Next thing ya know I started to listen to the lyrics, “…the Cuervo gold …the fine co–lum-bian, …let’s make tonight a wonderful thing.” Nice but, one word jumped out at me; Cuervo.

No offense Cuervo enthusiasts, but what in the hell is so wonderful about including this rough-tasting Tequila in an otherwise promising evening? Haven’t they heard of Don Julio?

Think about it. Julio tastes so good that you don’t have to bother with salt and lime. You get to spend a little more time with the fine Columbian and A LOT more time to work on the nineteen year old.

Lets try this again, “…Don Julio …the fine co–lum-bian, …let’s make tonight a wonderful thing.” Ahhh…perfect.
