A couple of folks decided to run the high school novel through its paces on the NES. I love the idea to literary classics being turned into retro video games.

How about:

1. Super Lord of the Flies – A beat’em up!

2. Catcher in the Rye Sandbox Action title

3. Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer Point and Click Adventures

4. To Kill and Mockingbird RPG

5. Call of the Wild Adventure

Sounds like some good literary gaming!

A fantastic song about a silly little thing!

One day you go out and buy two shirts. One catches your eye immediately and its one that you could use to cruise on special occasions. The other is maybe a bit a plain but you’ll wear it on your lonesome or during errands. It is literally a beater – you don’t pamper it all – you just use it  and never think twice. You can wear it when you are sick.  The first shirt – well, it holds out for a “special occasion” – you take care of it and treat it well.

Once the “cruising” day comes you don your fancy shirt and skip off into the town. Maybe it doesn’t happen in the first hour or the second but at some point you realize that you’d rather be wearing the other one. In fact, the other one feels more like you than the fancy one ever will.

How come we aren’t supposed share our birthday wishes? All of mine usually involve spending time with someone I consider significant. It seems to me if I never say anything, it would never happen. Than again, I say things all the time and nothing seems to happen.

You wake up one day to find yourself in cycle. It’s not necessarily a bad cycle – in fact it can even be a good one by most standards – but it has a defined pattern.

Almost as if you can feel the curved path of each day like you can feel the ridges on an old vinyl record.

Each day in its arcing path makes the melody of the months seem to go faster the rhythm of each individual day.

I don’t give a shit about the Super Bowl.

This is the question I keep asking myself…the more I feel disconnected the more it feels like everything is tricks and spin.

“Where is My Mind”

Oh -- stop

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
But there’s nothing in it
And you’ll ask yourself

Where is my mind [3x]

Way out in the water
See it swimmin’

I was swimmin’ in the Caribbean
Animals were hiding behind the rocks
Except the little fish
But they told me, he swears
Tryin’ to talk to me, coy koi.

Where is my mind [3x]

Way out in the water
See it swimmin’ ?

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
If there’s nothing in it
And you’ll ask yourself

Where is my mind [3x]

Oh
With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Oh
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Oh
Oh

This is a punk anthem that perfectly captures the questions and feelings I have for those I care for…from start to end every one of the thoughts in the song I’ve had and I still ask from time to time.

I always have this crazy feeling that I need to grasp life and this song knows that nothing is a waste…

This isn’t the  first time I’ve posted about Enemy You and it won’t be the last. They are probably my favorite straight up Punk Rock band. Why?

They manage to condense everything I like about the genre – speed, harmony, riffs, and solid (thoughtful) lyrics into short powerful bursts.

I gave up on iTunes long time ago after the DRM issues hindered my enjoyment of my own music and the music I paid for – however when I found out that Nitro Records exclusively released Enemy You’s last album on Apple’s service – I picked it up. I’m very glad I did, because like their tongue-in-cheek 70s styled homage to the 80s in a love song – it is bitchin’

Hmmm, maybe I should write Nitro and demand an album.

This one is dedicated to you. Yeah, you. NEVER FADE AWAY.

Funny thing is…this band, her voice, and the music always make me think of the wonderful lady that introduced me to the band (one of the most amazing people I have ever met…and the longer I know her, the more I want too – a feeling I doubt is shared).

Does that happen to anyone else? It’s funny how a person can reside in your mind and pop up into your thoughts at the most strange, almost seemingly inconsequential times. This happens to me often especially when I listen to music.

I can’t figure out what it means. I almost wonder if I am buying the album not so much to listen to the music but to just think of her…very strange. Such is life, no? Help, I’n Alive…is exactly how am I feeling…it is so hard to be soft and tender:
