Tyk's Place

Not at work yet... up most of the night feelin' like I was going to yack... and still feel that way. Yay for Tyk. Let's get this week started with some music, before I dive into beginning my work day from home. 1. Anakin's Betrayal from Star Wars, Episode III: I don't care what anyone says, Revenge of the Sith was as good as the original Star Wars, and John Williams writes great movie scores. 2. Uncle Jack by Motley Crue: Great, dark song from the Corabi album about a child molester. 3. Funk… Continue

Is it Wednesday already? I'll be out of the office a bit of the day, today and tomorrow, so if I'm slow to comment, that's why. So here's today's: 1. This is the Time (1990) by Savatage: Very strong kick off to the Dead Winter Dead album. This is the album that sold me on Savatage and this song is one of my favorites off the album. 2. Could've Been by Tiffany: Sigh... yes, I have Tiffany's first album. How could you be a teenage boy in the 80s and not? I must say, this song has held up. It's e… Continue

1. Angelica's in Love by Vamp: This was a local band, not the Rich Don't Rock version of Vamp. These guys were rather cool. Their slogan was Pop-Punk-Glam and that summarized them well. They were true glam dudes, back in the mid-90s. Good stuff. Perris Records used to sell their stuff. 2. Ever Dream by Nightwish: This is one of my favorite Nightwish songs. Not sure why... something about it just strikes the right chord with me. That said, I actually prefer Annette singing it, but Tarja's versio… Continue

I'm sitting here drinking my morning coffee. A threat of rain - especially storms - is preventing me from taking my 60-mile bike ride I had planned (only a 24-mile yesterday). So may as well write a quick iPod review for shits and giggles. 1.What Time is Love by The KLF: RIght now, right now, right now... it's time to... GET UP AND DANCE MOTHERFUCKERS! I posted about The KLF once before, the crazy "trance" group that made some major waves over in the UK in the last 80s, early 90s. This is one h… Continue

1. Eastern Music Station, the Conet Project: ummm.. not really a song. It's a recording a "numbers" station. Just google it if you don't know what that is. Freaky stuff. My friend and I heard one live once. He had an old radio set from the 20s, and it got a lot of cool stations. We were dialing through and we heard this crazy music, and then this creepy voice reciting numbers in German. I had no idea what it was back then, but then stumbled on the Conet Project site, and figured it out. 2. Heav… Continue
