AN REM HOLIDAY WEEKEND!

Posted by Infonistacrat on Friday, July 3rd, 2009

I’m sitting here in the Detroit airport, waiting on my wifes plane to get in from Cali, and decided that instead of working, it would be better to listen to some music, write up a post, and have a little fun. I can only take work so long, and besides, everyone else in my [...]

SHUFFLING THE iPOD, DAY 3

Posted by Infonistacrat on Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

Last day in a hotel room for a few days…tomorrow, I am heading home. Sometimes, even with the roughest of jobs, you get a week where the stars align, the universe opens up, and everything goes well. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, it’s a beautiful thing. And make no [...]

BACK TO THE FUTURE, I GUESS

Posted by Infonistacrat on Monday, June 29th, 2009

Well, I had the new theme up for a bit, but there were a few tweaks I just could not get worked out. Mainly, I simply could not get it to work with Wordpress Stats. There were a few other things that kind of bugged the hell out of me, that I could [...]

PUNK, POST PUNK AND NEW WAVE HITS, VOL. 1

Posted by Infonistacrat on Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

After a few days of new wave, I thought I would switch it up a little bit, and go back to rockin’ the punk 77 way. The next few days should be called the progression. Most of the songs I’ve chosen are a fusion of the three genres, with a little bit of ska thrown in to boot. Today, I chosen some really great tunes by some of the best bands of the late 70’s early 80’s. One that I didn’t really know about until very recently is Alberto Y Los Trios Paranoias. I’ve only heard a couple songs by them, mainly what I’ve found on various sites, but I like what I’ve heard, and am definitely on the lookout for more. So you know, if you know where there’s more, go ahead and hit me up!

Other than that, lots of well known acts here. The Buzzcocks, The Clash, Bauhaus, and for a little two tone twist, a little Madness. Also here is a group I’ve been listening to a lot lately, The Undertones. Here Comes The Summer certainly seems to be an apropos song about now. That’s if the weather holds. It’s months like April that I wish I still lived in Florida. A few years back, when I still lived down there, by this time of the year, I had already burned, healed, and then had a great tan. You cannot believe how badly I miss that damn sun and a nice pool!

The video today is Bauhaus, doing one of my favorite covers of all time. I love Ziggy Stardust; as a song, it’s just a great masterpiece. The dark little twist that Bauhaus puts on it makes it an even better song. Enjoy!
