OK, I am late this month.  My motivation took a dive.  I have been hampered with a partially torn bicep, and a cold that isn't really a cold anymore more than just a disgusting, steady stream of nasal drip from the inside of my fat head into my throat. On that note, I continue.  First let me say formatting this stupid blog is a disaster.  Why other fonts become current just after starting a new paragraph is beyond me.  I understand hidden, non-visible coding that may exist, like it does in Word, but I swear I correct that by deleting blank lines...only to have these return. It's a new year.  The charts are slow moving, stagnant, and non-inspiring.  That may change as a slew of new songs makes their way into my youtube favorites. But it may not matter... ...I think I am heading to the end here.  I am just fed up, but as always, I am not sure what I am fed up WITH. I have working arms, legs, a safe living environment. I am not in poverty, and...

Late this month with an entry. YAY for Alice in Chains.  This is probably the last song from the album "The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here" that will chart.  Creepy song, in a way.  I must say that I do not mind DuVall - in fact, I like Alice in Chains only slightly less than I did with the immortal Layne Staley.  If you read the comments at youtube, you might hear some people so steadfast in how this is a corrupted version of Alice in Chains or something.  That is ridiculous.  Sure, you can't replace Layne Staley....or can you? For those of us that were moved or comforted or BROUGHT TO A FRENZY!!! by their music with Layne, well OK, those songs mean a lot. That sound - those evil vocal harmonies, Jerry's excellent guitar playing, either in blistering songs like "Them Bones" or intoxicatingly beautiful ones like "Rotten Apple"....it all was amazing, amazing, amazing. But they don't suck, exactly, not by a longshot.  Their most recent album has g...

Very, very late this month.  I just got tied up with this graduate class I'm taking that is driving me nuts. 3/4 of the way through, and I am so confused. I am not a person that blames everyone else for my problems...but really, this teacher is so bad. THAT is the problem. I am consumed each week trying to get homework done, but I'm clueless as how to even start it!  So it's not like I can see the instructor at his office - what would I ask? I'm just so lost and figuring everything out on my own time - that's like doubling the time in class. *SIGH* But I perservere. In a week or two, I will do April's Top 5, and make some comments on my stupid life and my lovely songs.  Here is this month's very late Top 5: MARCH 2013 1.  "Underground", by Jane's Addiction 3, 1, 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VALinUhZkKQ 2.  Sleeping Giant", by Blondie 2, 2, 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdhCUzFQ4Hs 3. "Diamonds", by Rihanna ...
