You walk into the party
With all this technology, what if everyone had an entrance song? What would be yours?
I'll get back to you with mine.

TH3 V01C3
The title of this post refers to a somewhat popular TV show that I didn't want to spell correctly because I am paranoid and sure that they are tracking where their name is used. I am not about to drag this wonderful Music Club blog down by accidentally drawing unwanted attention. You are welcome.
So, if you go to a somewhat popular coffee shop and pickup their little lToones songs redeemer coupon thing you can get 4 songs, 1 by each finalist on the show I mentioned earlier. Now I naively thought that I would perhaps get to choose the song from each finalist. Not the case. While I would probably have gone for the James Brown tune by the female one instead you get that Police song. I can live with that I suppose. Opera dude is represented by the Simon and Garfunkel song. Personally he bugs me so this is probably the best one since he doesn't fuck it up nearly as bad as he could. (Did I ever tell you about seeing a woman in college sing WORKING FOR THE WEEKEND in an operatic style? I did? So you know it can be bad, right?) The former MM club guy does his blind audition song by Ray TheMontange. Yes everyone loved the disrespectful song and the hit me song but I only liked him because the one judge was so mean to him. For the most part he just kind of bored me. The former backup singer for you-know-who does the P Collins song from the movie with Jeff Bridges. He does have a pretty good voice and I like this song, so based on these 4 performances I would totally let him win.
So if you wanted songs other than these 4 you will have to go somewhere else. I listend and watched so you didn't and don't have to. Again, you are welcome.

CD Club Games
Yes I know your almost all out of town, but like that's really going to stop me.
I'll just play with myself, or, you know, the ether or what-not.
What do these people have in common:
Alex Chilton
Andy Warhol
Axl Rose
Billy The Kid
BLind Lemon Jefferson
Brian Eno
Brian Wilson
Buddy Holly
Jesse James
Jesus Christ
Jimmy Carter
John Wayne Gacy Jr.
John Wilkes Booth
Johnny Appleseed
Johnny Thunder
Marshall Mathers
Michael Jackson
Mike Mills
Pocahontis
It's easy-ish, but good luck anyway.

This Is Something I Do
Due to how I process new music, I end up quite often looking at my iPod to see what is actually playing.
Occasionally I hear a song that starts out really cool and I look to see what it is but by the time it is over I'm not impressed.
Such a song: "Amazing and Wonderful" by a group called 936. About a minute of a good song there. Followed by about four minutes of a pretty boring song.
That's all I had, but since I've taken the trouble to start a new post to tell you this really pretty uninteresting tidbit let me just note a couple of other things:
1) I really really wish I had heard "Yuck" by Yuck before the best of 2011 club, because it totally would have been on my list.
2) My early leader for Best Album of 2012 -- Slave Ambient by The War On Drugs. I also like the new Andrew Bird.
