Song of the Day - Anonymous

SSQ - Anonymous from Playback (1983)

80's music that sounds like music today that sounds like 80's music.

Song of the Day - No Pulse

Disasteradio - No Pulse from Charisma (2010)

How could I have forgotten this wonderfully odd gem?

80's inspired New Zealand synth pop.


This was my jam in 2010.

Match of the Day - Chris Jericho vs Fandango of the 90's, Disco Inferno

Chris Jericho vs. Disco Inferno - WCW World Television Championship match - Monday Night Nitro (1998)

Fifteen years before Chris Jericho lost to Fandango in the ball-room dancer-turned-professional wrestler's debut match (at WrestleMania, no less), Chris Jericho had no trouble putting away the "disco never died" enthusiast, Disco Inferno here in this match on Nitro for the TV title.

Looking into it, I checked to see if there was ever a time that Disco upset Jericho just as Johnny "Fandango" Curtis had at WrestleMania this year. I was unsuccessful at finding such match, so I decided that this match above was the closest that Disco ever got to defeating the brash and arrogant World TV champ.

The video above also features the Nitro Girls, a high school gym teacher throwing a Nitro Party for his students, Mike Tenay unaware of what was going on and unable to answer The Brains simple question of who his (Tenay's) role model growing up was, and Jericho speaking in German for a split second.

Remember: Disco Inferno vs. Fandango WMXXX. I got a lot of money riding on it. It's going to happen.

Other WrestleMania XXX prodictions: Antonio Cesaro vs. Bork Lesnar vs. Steel Steps.

Song of the Day - Pile Of Dirt

Speaker For The Dead - Pile Of Dirt from I Hope You Have Fun While You Sleep (2011)

Last night I had the pleasure of seeing Speaker Of The Dead play their dancing folk punk music for the first time. I wasn't quite sure what they would sound like or cause the crowd to do - since the show started off as a seated event - but as their music began to pick up and people started to feel the energy pumping through SFTD's chords, the chairs were thrown to the side and the partying began.

Thanks to Greg McKillop, the frontman, for putting the show on! It was a real nice treat and a good sort of welcome back for me as I am now home for the holidays!



This track is supposedly an Allenby Beardsly cover.

The Gundam fighter pilot?
