musical memoir monday – felmo is free
Jan 18th
It’s memoir mondays, where I still studiously refuse to capitalize proper nouns and post headings, and where once again I subject you all to old music that I found on an old hard drive.  So sit back, get a cup of fair trade coffee, let your goatee grow out, and feel the rageangst of a bunch of teenagers.
At the height of our popularity, we had oh, maybe about 100 fans, and I’m judging that by the number of CD’s we sold. Â Total. Â Go figure. Â Anyfame, this song was one of our more popular ones, probably because it contained the lyrics, “I’m bored, More >

Back my freshman year of college, I had several friends that were really good musicians. Â I am a drummer, but that’s a pretty hard instrument to play in a dorm room, so my friends who played way more portable instruments got way more of a chance to practice than I.
Jordan was one of the best guitarists I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing with. Â Al was a fantastic singer and a pretty good bassist, if he could remember the song that we were playing. Â Lucy played a mean viola and could belt it out. Â Joe is the best singer I’ve More >

Last Christmas, I had done a post about my least favorite Christmastime songs. Even though we’re still two weeks away from the big day, the radio stations around here have been playing 24-hour Christmas music since mid-July, and it’s once again wearing on my nerves.
All of my picks from last year are still valid complaints; I still hate them. However I now hate “Wonderful Christmas Time†by Paul McCartney and Wings even more, so I’d bump that up a couple notches. By any measure, it’s a terrible song. Anyhate…
A lot of the pop songs this year have had just absolutely More >

Sorry Travis, but once again I will bastardize your Memoir Monday and turn it into something musical, mainly because it’s my blog and I can ruin your good ideas here if I want to.
Please don’t hurt me.
Last Memoir Monday, I shared with you the unplugged version of one of the songs from the band I was a part of in high school, Abuse Me Felmo. This next little ditty was originally recorded as a bootleg at a show, but we had it remastered and added to our CD because it turned out really well.
The funny part about this More >
musical memoir monday, felmo rises

I’m going to partake in the Memoir Mondays started by Travis, but with a twist. That’s right kiddos, this is an Audio Memoir Monday. Heck, if you’re lucky (or unlucky, depends on if you like it or not) I’m going to replay an audio tune for you folks.
I was the drummer in a band in high school that was, well, decent considering we were all 17. We played a bunch of shows and were moderately popular and won a couple battle of the bands, but our sound wasn’t exactly all the rage to high school audiences who were way into More >

I am not a Grinch, I swear it. I love Christmas and the happiness and the family and the food and presents.
What I do not like is Christmas music that we are forced to listen to earlier and earlier these days. Something just doesn’t feel right about handing out candy to trick-or-treaters while “White Christmas” plays in the background. If we’re going to have 3+ months of Christmas music, the radio stations at least need to change it up a little bit.
This is my list of Christmas songs that can just go away already. You’ve done your job, you’ve given More >
