6-Song Sunday: The Ozzy Edition
This week’s edition of Triple S is a bittersweet one, to put it mildly. To say that Ozzy Osbourne inspired and entertained millions would be a massive understatement, and to capture his impact in a mere six songs is impossible. To that end, I will be putting up six of my favorites and apologies in…

Moonweasel’s 6-Song Sunday: 7/13/25
Since I’ve been in “music” mode lately, I am going to fire out another Triple S this week. I’m trying to write something for NTT, but I am coming up empty at the moment, so I figured I’d redirect for a moment. 😄 “Give me something to believe in.” I think these days this song…

Moonweasel’s 6-Song Sunday: 7/6/25
Good day, all! I figured it’s been more than a minute since I busted out a Triple S, so what the hell, eh? Not gonna lie. This edition is gonna be heavy on the rock. I might toss a left field pick out there, but at the moment, my heart is saying “rock n’ rolla”.…

All Retro, All Day
Because everything needs an intro. 😉 Good day, and Happy Saturday, y’all! I’ve been slightly under the radar after getting exposed to some stuff on the job that kinda messed me up for a spell. I’m feeling better, but recovery has been slowed by the constantly shifting weather. 70 degrees during the day, and then…

Van Haulin’ 2.0 (The Unboxing)
Why, yes I did, actually. And I even have a few pics! 😄 So, I have had absolutely zero interesting to post the last few days, so I figured I would share a few snaps of the interior of the Van Halen remaster of For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge that I bought recently. It is very…

Van Haulin’
So, I don’t have much interesting to post today (still putting my pic post together), and this probably isn’t that exciting to most of you, but it is to me. 😀 I went to get the mail the other day, and something I had been waiting for finally arrived: It’s a remaster of Van Halen’s…

One Year Later…
And this question is still dumb AF. 😄 Just as I said in last year’s reply, if I did break the law, unintentionally or otherwise, I sure as hell wouldn’t be advertising it here. Or anywhere else really. 😜 So, instead, just like last time, I’ll toss out a quick update on “stuff” in general…

Moonweasel’s 6 Song Sunday: EVH Birthday Edition
Well, I certainly couldn’t let this one pass by, could I? As the title hints at, today is indeed Edward Van Halen’s birthday. I don’t think it is any great secret how much I absolutely love Van Halen, and that Eddie, to me, is the GOAT. And while it may seem silly to some for…

John Sykes, criminally, in my opinion, was not a household name like Edward Van Halen or Randy Rhoads,…

Moonweasel’s 6-Song Sunday: 10.20.24
I wasn’t going to do a Triple S this week, but Mr. M insisted we can’t have a Sunday without some music. I guess he’s right, so, here we are. 😄 Hopefully, you’ll enjoy this week’s selections and find something to suit your mood! Def Leppard – “Photograph” I can’t recall a time when I…

Moonweasel’s 6-Song Sunday: 10.06.24
Good day, and happy Sunday to all. Mr. M is back with 6 picks for the week. A bit of this, a bit of that and everything else in between. Hard and heavy? Slow and easy? Oh, hell…we run the gamut here, kids. Hopefully, you enjoy at least a few of this week’s selections. Rock…

Humble Beginnings
Pasadena, California. 1964. “Edward! Stop banging on the pots and pans! You’re giving me a headache!” Eugenia was at her wits end. Young Edward was once again giving one of his infamous “concerts” in the family kitchen. “Jan,” Eugenia said with an exasperated sigh, “can you please corral your son so that I can turn…

Recent Goings On
Hello all. Hope everyone’s been well. I have not had a ton of free time lately, so my posts and replies have been quite sporadic. For the TLDR folks: I’ve been wading through a bit of red tape, had some family functions to attend to, and recently went and saw Sammy Hagar in concert. For…

Six Song Sunday: 05/05/24
Hello and welcome to this week’s Triple S. Going to try and dig up a few tunes you’ve not heard in a spell, or perhaps haven’t heard before. The Gorilla took the morning off and asked Mr. Moonweasel to cover this edition. So, without further ado… “Na Na Kiss Him Goodbye” – Axxis Axxis is…

Six Song Sunday (04/21)
Good morning and happy Sunday, all. Hope everyone has been having a restful, enjoyable weekend. I thought I would roll out a few more tunes that y’all might not know or haven’t heard for a spell just for the hell of it. “Jelly Roll” – Blue Murder Led by former Whitesnake guitarist John Sykes, Blue…

Six Song Sunday: 04/07/24
Time for another edition of Six Song Sunday, where I toss out a few tunes that either you may not know, or have not heard in a mighty long time. “Everything You Do (You’re Sexing Me)” – Fiona and Kip Winger Fiona was a moderately successful singer in the mid to late 80s, and Kip…
