I always watch this video when someone I know passes on.

I admit I have never seen a single episode of this series so I don't know who these people are... That being said with out that it is still a pretty powerful video.............

It is to bad about Josh... It seems so unreal even though I know it is real.. He is so young or at least seems that way to me.......

Who is Arcade Fire?
Category: music
It's just sad how American Idol and Dancing with the Stars this country has become. The Grammy's are not a popularity contest, it's a group consensus of the 12,000 CREATIVE people who WORK IN THE INDUSTRY! That's the beauty of it to be honest. I remember back in the 90's when Bonnie Raitt cleaned house and people were like "Who is Bonnie Raitt?"



I am just happy that a Canadian group got to sit on top of the musical world Sunday night with Album of the Year. It's funny reading these comments on this tumblr
The Suburbs is the name of the band??? Look Tiffany, just because you never heard of them doesn't mean that they're not Phenomenal, the world does not revolve around you or started when you were born. It's funny and yet sad to sort through that thing.

But I have to say their sit eating grin at the beginning of Ready is just priceless and EPIC.

they also won a few at the Brit Awards last night!
metalpeter - 02/15/11 16:23
But didn't this band lose in the group category so if they aren't the best group how can they win the Big Prize?? I'm not saying they aren't good but Didn't a bunch of other bands that people have heard of put out go Albums.... That being said they sounded pretty good.. See this years Grammy was about the new and young music as opposed to "The Old Guard" For example I loved the two (Alternative Country or maybe hillbilly Rock or maybe rock-a-billy ) Bands I have never heard of that played songs and then backed up Dilan .........

I was really shocked that people were upset that Arcade Fire won. I don't really listen to them a ton or anything but to have never have heard of them is surprising. I certainly don't listen to the Biebster but I know who he is.

In the crowd with Lady Antebellum, Eminem, Lady Gaga, and Katy Perry, Arcade Fire just sticks out as the clear winner to me. Nothing against any these artists. Most of them seem more concerned with their image and dance moves than music.

As proof to the Grammys not really being a popularity contest Pat Metheny has won 17 times.

Emo Starbucks Run
Category: music
For some reason last night as I was driving home I searched Niagara Falls Ontario for a Starbucks I stumbled upon WBNY 91.3 as it was the station that I had my iPod Belkin set to. They were playing some emo tunes, I have to admit I did find them appealing and actually got into them as the totally matched my mood. A part of me wishes that I was able to pull the Buff St station during my "Prime" when I was sniffing around Lundy's Lane. After searching the Lane, Fallsview Casino & Embassy Suites I was able to find a Starbucks open at the Sheraton next door to Casino Niagara. Apparently they are open to Midnight Sun-Thurs and close at 1am Sat & Sun. Finally I was able to grab my Calm tea for a nightcap before I started the week.



The beauty is that I was driving down the Lane, Ferry St and then Clifton Hill. It was pretty quiet as the Super Bowl ended 1.5 hrs ago. But driving down Clifton Hill with the Get Up Kids "Long Goodnight" just was a perfect song for the moment.





Now I also realized just by looking at their website how lame WBNY is most of the time. This is compared to what I am exposed to when I listen to WBER out of Rochester. It is not even close, WBER has much more of a dynamic range and also gives you in detail what they play. I just so wish I was able to play WBER in my car.

I could have the surfing thing wrong maybe it was snow boarding or skateboarding I know I have seen some videos with bands I've never really heard of and those where one of the bands.......

In Terms of Emo I wouldn't even know what makes something Emo or or not but don't think I know much emo music at all.......
vincent - 02/08/11 21:47
That's the beauty of emo Peter ;-) It creates a real EMOtional response. I was a closet emo back in the day, still hold the stuff dear to my heart to this very day. It was just odd to hear a song for the first time, first released "back in the day" in an area that has happy memories for me during the same time period.

The whole SoCal Surfer thing didn't catch me at first, but I can see where you're coming from.

metalpeter - 02/08/11 17:30
Like that song but it is also kinda depressing at the same time I feel like when it plays I should be watching a surfing video or something......

Justin Bieber's Mom

Yikes!


metalpeter - 02/07/11 18:21
Not sure how I missed that link, I say she should go for it......
vincent - 02/06/11 15:04
You're older than her as she's 34

I'd say above average.

Playboy approached her to go topless.

Not sure, but I imagine someone will get to it.
metalpeter - 02/06/11 12:37
How old is she
Is she Hot
Does she do Porn
Is there a spoof on her of a porn

Sorry I have to ask these questions since I don't know what is going on with her at least she doesn't give her son drugs like Lohan's .......
