This cracks me up every time:
With Danzig comes the Misfits:
Danzig could have been a pop sensation….
How the hell did I miss this one???
This one was ok…not really… I did like “Am I Devo?”…
Here is one more… I laughed out loud with this one…give it a sec:
Ram this is for you:
This may very well be my first true video game blog on the site. I am a fan of video games or should I say I was formerly and then took a small hiatus. Mostly because none of the games on the market these days interested me. I also was preoccupied with other things in life like work and this site. I then, after trying so hard not to, became addicted to Guitar Hero last year thanks to my friend Anthony, and just recently found a new high playing Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe thanks to Sam and Kolb.
I am 32 and I play video games. Who cares. I love it.
Last week I posted a blog about my favorite 80’s cartoons and one cartoon mentioned was the REAL Ghostbusters. My pal Ram commented on the love of the cartoon mostly as they exposed true haunting truths and all that paranormal activity. I could not agree more Ram.
Well of course the cartoon came from the popular cult classic 1984 movie Ghost Busters starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Harold Ramus.
Reality check… Ghost Busters will be celebrating it’s 25th year anniversary this year. Ouch, am I that old???
So, what do you do when were a successful cult classic movie from the 80’s? You celebrate your two and a half decades of existence. How? You release the movie and the sequel on Blue-Ray!
I agree…BORING.
What else?
What about for the true fans who want something new? What about something for the fans who can not wait until 2010 when Ghost Busters III may actually come out?
How about a video game?
Wholly crap is right… I think I may start playing videogames a little more this year thanks to this game.
It is supposed to take place 2 years after Ghost Busters II ended. I’ll let GameStop.com share their info now:
Ghostbusters: The Video Game, based on the smash hit motion picture franchise and featuring a completely new story, is coming to six game systems in 2009. Coinciding with the 25th anniversary celebration of the film’s original theatrical release, the game reunites original cast members to recapture the unique blend of humour and fright that established Ghostbusters as a pop culture sensation. Penned by original Ghostbusters writers Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd, Ghostbusters: The Video Game brings members of the original cast together for the first time in 20 years. Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson lend their voices and in-game likenesses to the original story set two years after Ghostbusters II, with Manhattan once again overrun by ghosts and supernatural forces. Players will have the chance to chase, attack, and catch ghosts in a funny and frightening battle to save New York from its latest supernatural plague.
Now that even sounds cooler. The original cast has involvement in this game… I best start saving my pennies…
I saw these Kidrobot – Kidpunk collectibles a while back and wanted one. 2 weeks ago I was at Shake It! Records in Cincinnati (awesome music store if you have never been) and saw them in person but talked myself out of buying one. I kicked my self in the ass on the way home for not getting one, but they are $50.00 a piece. Sheesh.
Today I see this:

I Want.
If you want, they are available on the Kid Robot website or you can take a trip to Shake It! Records and buy one (for me) in person. If you do make the trip, let me know what you think of the store!!!
New Jersey’s Thursday has a new album Common Existence coming out. Here is one of the new tracks for your listening pleasure called “Resuscitation of a Dead Man”:
I was going to review the album early but since some a$$ hat out there leaked the feed I was given, it was removed and now I have to wait. I am ok with that wait though because I am very excited to hear this release.
I also found this video of Thursday performing “Friends in the Armed Forces” live last month that was featured on AP Magazine’s website. This song as well will be released on Common Existance which is scheduled to drop on Feb. 17th. The CD will be released through Epitaph Records.

I got a phone call today.
Yes I did.
It was from Matt, you know the guy that runs www.addictedtovinyl.com. He called me to tell me he got me something. A ticket to:
Earlier in the week I suggested that he try and score tickets to the Rock Hall Induction Ceremony as I thought he was a Rock Hall member or might have had better connections than I do. He said he would see what he could do and get back to me.
Well being that good friend that Matt is, he went this morning and waited in line at the Rock Hall and picked up a pair of tickets. One for him…one for me.
I owe him a Dr. Pepper or something…
Chances are he’ll just put them on eBay to make a profit and not tell me until I am waiting at Public Hall for him to meet me there. That is how he rolls, no… not really. He is a good guy regardless of how much he pays me to be his friend.
A big THANK YOU to you Matt. That was the best phone call I received all day.

The 2009 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame performer inductees were chosen by the 600 voters of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. Artists are eligible for inclusion in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twenty-five years after their first recording is released.
In addition to being honored at the April ceremony, each inducted artist is commemorated at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland Ohio, which serves as a monument to rock and roll’s impact on our culture. These inductees will be honored – along with previous year’s inductees and hundreds of other artists – with an exhibit and film that serve to tell the story of modern music.
