I was pretty close to just leaving this page blank because I have no idea what to say about this, but I'll try to muster up something. John Parr, that dude that wrote St. Elmo's Fire, is jumping on the Tim Tebow bandwagon and has re-recorded his 1985 hit, which he's renamed "Tim Tebow's Fire (yes, my title is funnier), with Tebow friendly lyrics. Not exactly sure why he did that. Maybe he's a huge Tebow fan, maybe he's hoping to ride Tim's popularity wave  to a comeback of sorts, or maybe … [Read more...]

Everybody has an influence, and most are quite vocal about who specifically shaped their tastes and style. While most artists point to role models who were prevalent through their childhood or developmental years, some find their muse (pun so intended) in far more classical roots. The list below mentions some modern musicians who show direct … [Read more...]

The holidays always bring back fond memories, and one of those is Rise Against's "Making Christmas". According to purevolume.com, you can never have too many variations of a holiday song, and I agree. The rock band covered "Making Christmas" from A Nightmare Before Christmas, for New Nightmare Revisited by Walt Disney Records back in 2008, and in my opinion, it came out a success, and still continues to be a success to the point where I just can't get enough. Personally, I love the … [Read more...]

Foo Fighters Cause Earthquake

Foo Earthquake

Most badass story of 2011 hands down. On December 13th, Foo Fighters closed out their Wasting Light tour with a show at Auckland, New Zealand’s Western Springs Stadium. This concert was one of typical Foo proportions: tens of thousands of people, absurd energy, and...earthquakes? According to nearby monitoring systems in Herne Bay and Eden Park, tremors were recorded that – oddly enough – coincided directly with Grohl and his gang’s setlist. Here’s GeoNet’s take on the … [Read more...]
