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…

1984 Called
And they want me back. I would love to dive a bit deeper into this topic but unfortunately, work is not allowing me that luxury. Needless to say, my primary favorite is 80s rock and metal, but I enjoy a wide variety of music. Up the irons!!! 🤘😎🤘 Have a great day everyone!

Eagles Fly
Because Sammy Hagar said it far better back in 1987 than I ever could. One of the most beautiful songs off Sammy’s 1987 album I Never Said Goodbye. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing him perform this song live many times over the years. Sometimes acoustically, but also during his time in Van Halen in…

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 (On A Monday)
Because: My blog, my rules. 😛😄 I wanted to get this out yesterday, but time and all that. So, today it is. Per usual, I am just going to toss out some tunes y’all may not have heard of, or have not heard in a minute or two. Hopefully you can find something enjoyable to…

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…

Six Song Sunday
Dovetailing off last week, I thought I would share six more songs you may not know, or haven’t heard in a long, long time. Hopefully you’ll find something to enjoy. “Woman of 1,000 Years” – Steve Stevens’ Atomic Playboys Steve Stevens is best known as Billy Idol’s longtime collaborator. He’s the guitarist on some of…

Six Songs You May Not Know
Or haven’t heard in a really long time. I heard a few favorite songs the past couple days, and it occurred to me that they were ones that don’t get a lot of airplay anymore, or didn’t get a ton (or any!) back in the day. Just for fun, I thought I would share a…

Music Appreciation 101 w/Prof. Barbarian
Greetings, all! During a recent conversation with my little sister Aastha, the topic of music came up. She asked me what would a slightly out of shape barbarian listen to while he was training? Well, before music, he should probably listen to a nutritionist and put that second donut down. 😲 But on the topic…

EVH FTW
I know there will probably be a ton of replies saying we shouldn’t want to be anyone but ourselves, and some who would pick someone else for a much nobler cause, and I respect that 100%. I, however, and I am sure this will not shock much of anyone, would take the opportunity to be…

Song Interpretation (02/21/24)
Forgive me while I go off on a tangent here. Like lots of folks do, I was listening to music while I was driving to my class last night, and I had a thought. Not necessarily a good one, but a thought nonetheless. I was listening to David Lee Roth’s 1986 classic album Eat ‘Em…

Her Name Is What, Now?
OK, so… While I would much prefer reading everyone else’s take on No Theme Thursday, I decided to take a stab at narrating one of these pics. I usually stick to poetry, so I am outside my wheelhouse here. Punctuation, structure, etc. will not be proper or pretty. You’ve been warned. Her Name Is What,…

Today Is The First Day…
Today is the first day of the New Year. Today is the first day of a new month. Yes, I can sense your eyes rolling at my keen grasp of the obvious all the way over here. Look, I’m a jarhead, so you have to allow me some leeway. Besides, there is a point to…

A Apolitical Blues (Prompt: 12/28/23)
“I’ve got the apolitical blues, and that’s the meanest blues of all.” Originally recorded by Little Feat, but personally, I am partial to the Van Halen cover. I guess “semi-apolitical” could possibly be an accurate descriptor for me. Webster’s defines apolitical as: 1 : having no interest or involvement in political affairs also: having an…
