As I said in the last post, Jennifer and I along with several MousePlanet friends journeyed to Walt Disney World the weekend of October 27th for the Tower of Terror 13th Anniversary 13K/6.5K Race. Stephanie Wien and I collaborated on an article discussing the event and the many problems that ensued, and it’s now up on MousePlanet: Running in the Zone. Enjoy!

So I haven’t ever watched The Sopranos, I don’t have HBO and really wasn’t interested. But like everyone else, I saw the last minute of the last episode repeated over and over and it made me remember how much I liked Journey. What. Quiet, you. Anyway, so I figured, hmm, I wonder if they’re still [...]

So I haven’t ever watched The Sopranos, I don’t have HBO and really wasn’t interested. But like everyone else, I saw the last minute of the last episode repeated over and over and it made me remember how much I liked Journey.

What.

Quiet, you.

Anyway, so I figured, hmm, I wonder if they’re still around. Could be fun to go see them live. The Google pointed me to JourneyMusic.com (warning: Flash, audio) and I poked around there for a few minutes before realizing that Steve Perry is no longer with Journey, and in fact hasn’t been since 1997 (though I was kind of surprised to read that they were a going concern in ’97). Since then they’ve gone through a couple of lead singers and are touring with Def Leppard.

Guys. I think it’s time to shut it down. Really. When the singer who made your songs memorable is no longer singing them, that kind of removes the reason for the rest of the band to go on.

Why a Steelpan Tribute to the Ramones? Why not? Imagine 14 punk rock classics ripping through your speakers at warped speed, complete with 1-2-3-4 count offs, chants and shout outs in pure punk, fist raising abandon, all performed on the steelpans (or steel drums) strait from the islands! Beating out speedy Ramones’ anthems like “Blitzkrieg [...]

Why a Steelpan Tribute to the Ramones? Why not?

Imagine 14 punk rock classics ripping through your speakers at warped speed, complete with 1-2-3-4 count offs, chants and shout outs in pure punk, fist raising abandon, all performed on the steelpans (or steel drums) strait from the islands!

Beating out speedy Ramones’ anthems like “Blitzkrieg Bop”, “Sheena is a Punk Rocker” and “Rockaway Beach”, to the tender love song “I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend” and one dropping “Pinhead” in true reggae fashion on the island style steelpan, “Pan For Punks” takes you on a punk rock journey like never before.
