Room Update

So, I've been busy. Circuit City sent a new SVHS deck, and I've got my dubbing system back together. It's not next to my pc, so I've recovered some desk space. And in that desk space I've found room for the audio cassette deck. Test recording into the PC right now. Course, the cassette doors are broken. They wouldn't lock in. Tapes would jam, and you power it down. The only way to get it out is to seemingly force it. POP goes the plastic. Then they'd never shut again. Stupid design for such a good little tape deck. So, I just removed the doors completly. It seems to still work ok. Skid Row is pumpin' the jams. They actually rock pretty damn good. I miss that era of music.

Most of the current stuff I hear now just sounds so flat...They don't sound like rock bands anymore. When you'd punch up a GNR, or Skid Row, or even Metallica, it had more soul in it than what's up on that MTV now. That's not even incuding hip hop and rap either. Saw some of those VMAs...I love the concert/tv production apsect of it, it's some amazing stuff. But the music's just getting so stale. You put up Christina Agulara, Madonna, and Shakira, and Who do they award? PINK! I mean PINK!!! Come on, I dig Pink and all, but I totally think she's in a little different league. And then Beyonce performs live, and while yes the stage dancing elements were totally there-props for those....But the song-Why is it mostly all monotone? Nobody sings more than one note these days. And Beyonce's one of those singers that actually can sing damn good too, but the music doesn't show it. Oh well. My mom looks at me and wants to note the date-9/2/06, for those who are counting, the day I start not "getting" the current crop of music. I guess I am just getting older. That sucks!
Anyway. I trip out on opening boxes and drawers while looking for space for stuff. I find papers from high school and even before. Pictures from I don't know when. I even uncovered some Transformers-More than meets the eye. Pretty wild finds in this room. Definatley pretty wild.
