| The WORD of the Week |
Matthew 3:7-10
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.
And do not think you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.
The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.

I second the hurrah for the Veterans. I shall ponder your musical problem and get back to you. I have a lot of music to go through. Of course, I would vote for something like "Rusty Cage" covered by Johnny Cash for your morning wake-up, but more thoughts on that later.

Wake Up and Drive Mix a la DJ Naz-Tea
1) "Jailhouse" - Sublime
2) "Satin in a Coffin" - Modest Mouse
3) "Sick Sad Little World" - Incubus
4) "Only in Dreams" - Weezer
5) "5 to 1" - The Doors

9) "Hollywood Nights" - Bob Seger
10) "The Clincher" - Chevelle
11) "Life in the Fast Lane" - The Eagles
12) "Welcome to Paradise" - Green Day
13) "It's Hip to be Square" - Huey Lewis and the News (yea, i did it).
14) "Cold Hard Bitch" - Jet
15) "Rape Me" - Nirvana
-that's my wake up and drive mix...
listen to it...cuz my opinion is the only one that matters...
-
Well, seems as though my comment was an inspiration to myself...I mad that CD (sans Huey Lewis, however) with some minor changes, "Rollover D.J" by JET made it instead of the former. "Night Moves" beat out "Hollywood Nights." And "Tomorrow comes Today" edged ahead of "Ghost Train" (Though I still rec. this one if you're unfamiliar).
If I were a modest person, which I am not, I would say something like: I'll let you know how it is. But instead, I will say: You and I both know this CD is gonna rock cuz I said so...duh...
Title your script "Cuz I said So."
-
where do i find the script? (im slow).
-
Shaun... most excellent suggestions...
Doyle... I await with anticipation...
Ryan... mmmm... yummy... and I like the title...
Charlie... don't worry... slow people are more than welcome here at Rockel's place... especially people who are so slow they're seeking a masters degree in nuclear physics... the script can be found in my head... and no where else... too bad you're not a neurosurgeon, just a stupid nuclear scientist, psh... but as soon as I get some selections up to a near-final-draft state I may post some snipits for you all to enjoy...
Rockel. Out.
-
well in that case, Here are some names for the script:
1)Project: PROJECT ;
2)Operation: Operation
(incidentally, i originally intended these for a ficticious band's name and their album name, but thats not gonna happen).
3)Red What and Blue (i think i stole that from somewhere)
4)A Stones Throw
5)A Strict Determinism
... you know, Using half of a well known saying is kinda popular these days...
6) The Bathwater
7) Seven Pins
8) Why does color matter?
9) Dark Matter
10) Recee's Pieces Feces Thesis*
11) Dirty Water
12) Dying in North Carolina
Ok. A dozen titles is plenty to chew on for now. Not having any Idea what your script is about, I tried to cover many bases.
*i really hope you incorperate this one somehow.
-
what about that song 'taking care of business'? i mean, it's relevant... and kinda catchy. no? ah well. i got nothin'.
-
Firstly: Underwater Basket Weaving
Secondly: Umm...The chocolate Factory song from Rack Shack and Benny,
The superman song
some oldies
Rockin' the Suburbs, by Ben Folds
Pressing On, by Relient K
and....yeah, ok, so I'm not exactly a music afficianado so maybe some more people who are not me should give their input on songs =)
Thirdly: As for July...To go or to stay?
In Other news: have fun with that!
Finally: Where would we be without them?
-
Charlie... thanks a dozen times over...
Andie... it is catchy... and I thank you for your input...
Jaime... you're not helpin' out so much... "some oldies"?... you just narrowed my search from "any song," to "any song not released in the last twenty years."... Go... it's possible to look back and say "I should have gone," but it is not possible to look back and say "I should have stayed," because you did stay... right up to the point when you left... and where would we be?... under the cruel rule of a tyranous dictator, probably... but Bush wouldn't be President...
-
ok, fine, strike 'some oldies' and insert Concerto in G minor For Two Cellow, Strings, and Basso Continuo, RV 531. Vivaldi, performed by Yo Yo Ma, it's good.
-
Specificity, Jaime. Specificity.
“Concerto in G minor For Two Cello, Strings, and Basso Continuo, RV 531. Vivaldi, performed by Yo Yo Ma.”
The studio recording or the Carnegie Hall concert recording? I mean, come on… is it that difficult? Nobody else seems to be having a problem with this assignment…
-
Studio recording...I think....can you fit a whole orchestra in a studo? 2003, with the Amserdam Baroque Orchestra
-Holes in the ocean
-Falling Pictures
-Acid Rain (hmm...actually that sounds like it should be the name of a heavy metal band or something...)
-Grapejuice stains
-The yellow post-it note
-Learning to scream
-Statues of Salt
-Refusing Angels
-Rose-colored contacts
and finally,
-The life and times of a Homemade slingshot
There you have it.
-
OK... I'm not very good at titles, especially when it comes to plays, but I thought maybe I'd give it a try:
Hollow Me
Death Eaten
Indecent Soul
Fatal Breath
Licentious Perfection
Divine Deaf
Mind Fog
Black Heart
Reticent Prayer
-
Hey man, thanks for the b-day shout-out! Haha, anyway thought I'd help you out w/ some songs, not a complete list but...
1. MxPx-Ohhh Donna
2. Spin Doctors-2 princes
3. Something by the bloodhound gang, "I hope you die" was alwasy a favorite, or The ballad of chasey lain
4. Del Amitri-Roll to me
5. Something by Metallica maybe turn the page (even though bob seger did it originally, he did a good job too)
Ok that's all for now, I'll let you know if I think of anything else, also for your script I like Exotic Extacy maybe... oh well, we'll see!!!
-
All right, its been a long time coming, but I've had to do some thinking for you. Here it is, my list, even if it does tend to lean a little on the rock-a-billy. I'll do another one with a different theme later.
1. For Those About to Rock, ACDC
2. Kiss My Irish Ass, Flogging
Molly
3. Drink and Fight, The Pogues
4. Dick in Dixie, Hank Williams III
5. Hot Rod Lincoln, Commander Cody
6. One Piece At A Time, Johnny Cash
7. Rusty Cage, Johnny Cash version
8. City of New Orleans, Arlo
Guthrie
9. I Got A Name, Jim Croce
10. Fever Dog, Stillwater
Soundtrack
11. The Rainbow Connection,
MFATGG
12. Fire and Rain, MFATGG
13. The Rocker, Thin Lizzy (live
version)
14. The Fire Down Below, Bob Seger
15. Life In the Fast Lane, Eagles
16. Rockin' Down The Highway,
Doobie Brothers
17. Baby You Can Drive My Car,
The Beatles
18. I Guess The Lord Must Be In
New York City, Harry
Nilsson
There is a second option. Toss the whole list and just play Alice's Restaurant and see how far that gets you.
-
Aaron... I think you have an unfair advantage of knowing the kind of music I grew up listening to, and having basically the same taste that I have... I love the suggestions... (haha... "Say 'Metallica,' Aaron")
Doyle... dangit... a moment too late... I may have to compile another now... btw, Alice's Restaurant Massacre is just over 18.5 minutes... so it wouldn't get me too far...
-
Yeah, I know how long it is, I just thought it'd be an interesting beginning. You could do a long-song compilation for your morning commute. You know, toss on November Rain by GNR, a little American Pie by Don McLean, John Henry's Hammer by Johnny Cash, etc.

| Lyrics of the Week |
ON THE NICKEL
by Tom Waits
("I'd like to do a new song here. This is eh, it's about downtown Los Angeles on 5th Street. And eh all the winos affectionately refer to it as The Nickel. So this is kind of a hobo's lullaby.")
sticks and stones will break my bones,
but i always will be true, and when
your mama is dead and gone,
i'll sing this lullabye just for you,
and what becomes of all the little boys,
who never comb their hair,
well they're lined up all around the block,
on the nickel over there.
so you better bring a bucket,
there is a hole in the pail,
and if you don't get my letter,
then you'll know that i'm in jail,
and what becomes of all the little boys,
who never say their prayers,
well they're sleepin' like a baby,
on the nickel over there.
and if you chew tobacco, and wish upon a star,
well you'll find out where the scarecrows sit,
just like punchlines between the cars,
and i know a place where a royal flush,
can never beat a pair, and even thomas jefferson,
is on the nickel over there.
so ring around the rosie, you're sleepin' in the rain,
and you're always late for supper,
and man you let me down again,
i thought i heard a mockingbird, roosevelt knows where,
you can skip the light, with grady tuck,
on the nickel over there.
so what becomes of all the little boys,
who run away from home,
well the world just keeps gettin' bigger,
once you get out on your own,
so here's to all the little boys,
the sandman takes you where,
you'll be sleepin' with a pillowman,
on the nickel over there.
so let's climb up through that button hole,
and we'll fall right up the stairs,
and i'll show you where the short dogs grow,
on the nickel over there.
