Sideshow & Syrana

I enjoy music, as most of you know, so I thought I’d post a song everyday during the week using my Blip.fm station and tweet it at the same time (if you wanted to follow at home.) Every week, I’ll recap my choices and write a little blurb about them.

This week I am trying a new site for playing the songs called “Grooveshark.” It also allows me to use a website widget that should let you listen to the song right on our site instead of requiring you to click a link. Let me know how it works. Unfortunately, there is no volume control on the widget, so just an FYI.

Check this tag for my other “Songs of the Week” posts.

Hopefully, it’s a good chance to hear some new music (or old music) and get my take on it. I do tend to lean towards Heavy Metal and Hard Rock, so most songs will probably be in that general area, but I will veer from time to time. I know music is very much like religion and politics, so I’m not pushing anything onto you. If you don’t like something, I respect that. But, if you do, I’m more than happy to get you more info on it, just let me know.

Most entries will have a Wikipedia and Last.FM link at the end for you to get more information and listen to other songs at your leisure.

This week’s theme is newer/underground bands. They may not all be completely unknown or new, but they are probably new to a lot of people. Hope to spread the word.

So… I’ve been playing around with formspring, right?

Here’s what I’ve learned so far:

5 – Anonymous questions are the most risque

4 – Answering anonymous questions is fun

3 – Answering any question is fun

2 – I like to babble (wait, we knew that one already)

And the number one thing I’ve learned from formspring…

Having boobs will save me from falling into a pit of liquid hawt mag-ma.

I thought I’d start a new franchise here on the site. You know, cuz Syrana has stolen all of the good weekly memes.

So… the other night I was perusing keyword searches that reach this here blog.  Some make sense, some are weird and make me wonder why they woulda looked through 50+ pages before finding us, and some…. some are just amusing.

One of these amusing search terms was “syrana hampster.”  Of course, I shared this on Twitter.

And, you know what, I think we have found it!

Or… more accurately… Sunshinecelery found it!

It’s quite likely this person was trying to find Syrian hamsters.

Or… maybe… there really is an evil Syrana hamster?  You be the judge!

Syrana: So what do you want to do tonight, Hamster?

Syrana Hamster: Same thing we do every night, Syrana – try to TAKE OVER THE WORLD!
