XXIX: Ranting About Work & Raving About a Foo Fighters Music Marathon

Finally, the weekend is here, and I’m about to have a celebratory Jack & Coke Zero tonight. (This is also in celebration of the Foo Fighters’ 30th anniversary.)

But first, let me have a short rant about something that happened at work several weeks ago. (If you don’t want to read my short work rant, just click here.)

Song of the Moment LXV: Them Crooked Vultures’ “Mind Eraser, No Chaser”

I said I would listen to at least one different music artist per week, and last Monday I listened to all of Spice Girls’ studio albums. (Yes, I listen to Spice Girls. Deal with it.) But because January 14 is Dave Grohl’s birthday, I had to set the iconic English girl group aside and listen more to the bands throughout Mr. Grohl’s career – iconic grunge band Nirvana, my favorite band of all time Foo Fighters, and my favorite rock supergroup Them Crooked Vultures.

As I type this, I’m drinking my favorite Jack and Coke Zero while listening to “Mind Eraser, No Chaser”, the second song from Them Crooked Vultures’ self-titled debut (and only) album and my favorite song from them. Mr. Grohl’s team-up with Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age and John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin is mind-blowing. I hope they will reunite and make another record.

Belated happiest birthday to Dave Grohl!

Song of the Moment LV: Linkin Park’s “Two Faced”

I’ll make this quick because I just finished listening From Zero, the new Linkin Park album released today, and I will go for another round because I love the entire record. But if I were to pick a favorite track (right now) that I will listen to on repeat all night long, it would be “Two Faced”. Listening to it made me feel like a 10-year-old because it reminded me of the old-school, heavy Linkin Park – Mr. Hahn’s turntable scratches and all. I’m on cloud nine, man.

And have you seen the music video of “Two Faced”? Linkin Park members in suits… I approve.

Now I will go back to listen From Zero all over again. Happy weekend!
