Black Sabbath Live Video 1970

Posted on July 25th, 2008 by Monique, under Music, Videos.

This is what we were watching on the laptop this morning in the kitchen while we had our coffee. Black Sabbath live in Paris in 1970. This is even before Jim Morrison died, it was that long ago. And it rocks.

Weezer Pork and Beans Lyrics

Posted on June 23rd, 2008 by Monique, under Art, Lyrics, Music.

They say
I need some Rogaine
To put in my hair
Work it out at the gym
To fit my underwear
Oakley makes the shades
That transform a tool
You’d hate
For the kids to think
That you lost your cool

Imma do the things
That I wanna do
I ain’t got a thing
To prove to you
I’ll eat my candy
With the pork and beans
Excuse my manners
If I make a scene
I ain’t gonna wear
The clothes that you like
I’m fine and dandy
With the me inside
One look in the mirror
And I’m tickled pink
I don’t give a hoot
About what you think

Everyone likes to dance
To a happy song
(Hey, hey)
With a catchy chorus and beat
So they can sing along
(Hey, hey)
Timbaland knows the way
To reach the top of the charts
Maybe if I work with him
I can perfect the art

I’mma do the things
That I wanna do
I ain’t got a thing
To prove to you
I’ll eat my candy
With the pork and beans
Excuse my manners
If I make a scene
I ain’t gonna wear
The clothes that you like
I’m fine and dandy
With the me inside
One look in the mirror
And I’m tickled pink
I don’t give a hoot
About what you think

No I don’t care
I don’t care
I don’t care
I don’t care
I don’t care
I don’t care

I’mma do the things
That I wanna do
I ain’t got a thing
To prove to you
I’ll eat my candy
With the pork and beans
Excuse my manners
If I make a scene
I ain’t gonna wear
The clothes that you like
I’m fine and dandy
With the me inside
One look in the mirror
And I’m tickled pink
I don’t give a hoot
About what you think

New Weezer - The Red Album

Posted on June 23rd, 2008 by Monique, under Art, Daily Life, Friends, Music, Videos, Weblog.

A band that I have enjoyed ever since I saw them play the Universal Ampitheatre in either 94 or 95, Weezer has always been around. I can still remember when Hash Pipe came out, good times.

Now its 2008 and bands are hating their record labels more than ever, and turning to the internet for their fan bases as can be seen with Nine Inch Nails/Trent Reznor and Radiohead. It looks as though Weezer is on their way to doing the same. I am adoring the new red album.

And this guy Rivers Cuomo, the frontman of the band Weezer, can write a song. Just amazing. I watched all of the songwriting project videos he has on youtube and was quite captivated. He is so talented, and makes it seem so easy.

And if you haven’t heard the first single from the album, Pork and Beans, you have to watch the video. If you’re not a net head, you probably won’t understand too much of the characters and things in the video. But if you’re like me and have spent thousands of hours on the internet since 95, you will appreciate Pork and Beans. Check it out:
