Mr. Epp and the Calculations

I came upon this band almost by accident as my Father showed me something called the Grunge family tree from http://blog.familyofrock.com/ written by Peter Frame, a music journalist. They are at the top of the list known to be the father of all Grunge music. This Band consisted of Mark Arm (Mudhoney, Green River) Jeff Smith, Todd Morey, and his brother Darren Morey. Mark Arm on vocals, Jeff Smith on Lead guitar, Todd Morey on bass, Darren Morey on drums. Mark Arm started this band with the inspiration from his Bellevue High School maths teacher, Mr. Epp. They started the trend of fuzzed out guitars and low toneless singing that made fun of anything that they thought couldn't possibly solve any problem that it was trying to. After doing hours of research, trying to figure out where they came from, if they had done any tours, I realized something, they hardly existed, if it wasn't 74elcaminohef on youtube I would have never been able to listen to their music. So cheers to you on that Hef! This band was formed in the late 70's but most of the band is still alive today. The only person I know who kept a career in the music industry was Mark Arm, who was in several bands such as Mudhoney(the most notable) Green River, the Thrown Ups and many other contributors to the "Sound of Seattle". I will include a link to the video.

Michael Jackson thought

I rarely have those, I must admit. However, if you're going to call your tour a "final curtain call" isn't it tradition that someone should actually be calling you to the curtain? Maybe I missed that. Or maybe he should just beat it?

The Coolest Iron Chef

Let's face it, Iron Chef America is so OTT as to be a guilty pleasure for those of us who make it appointment television. Nevertheless, you can't deny that Mario Batali is the coolest of the Iron Chefs (or is that Chevs? No....). Although Masaharu Morimoto comes close - I loved the episode where he had to taste all of the peppers before he used them because he hadn't cooked with peppers before - and what's with the English voice-over when he's actually speaking English? As evidence of Chef Batali's pre-eminence, however, I offer not only his undeniable cooking skill, but also his taste in music, and the fact that his wife works for a goat farm. Goats are, of course, the coolest of the domesticatos. They're cute, friendly, and produce some very excellent cheese, which is also lower in fat than cheese made from cow's milk. So let's all listen to some Joe Strummer, enjoy some goat cheese and get ready for the next ICA battle. I hope it's Battle Goat Cheese.

Music

Today I will be talking to you about the newest music on my Itunes Library. The newest thing is Modern Guilt by Beck. This album features ten new songs by Beck. They are Orphans, Gamma Ray, Chemtrail, Modern Guilt, Youthless, Walls, Replica, Soul of a Man, Profanity Prayers and Volcano. Beck's crazy style of music writing is just enough to pull off his latest album. Another of my favourite bands is The Offspring, Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace. The southern californian punk band has done it again. The best songs as recorded by Itunes are Hammerhead and You're Gonna Go Far, Kid. Now it's time for me to sign off. Bye.

Band Names

Over the period of about three or four months our family has created a list of band names that we think future bands may find interesting. Some of these are weird albeit pretty strange but here thay are anyway. The first one is Emo Squirrel, next is Midgets with Timbits, Those Darn Young People, Moist Apocalypse, Gooedup, The Screeching Tweens, Cheese to Numb the Pain and finally Heartwash. My top three would be Those Darn Young People, Moist Apocalypse and Heartwash. That's all for now bloggers. Bye.
