Ironically, Dave Coulier was awesome on Out of Control, which was where he originated his Cut-It-Out bit.

Of course, on Full House he suffered from a grotesque lack of Hern.

I’ve got it on shuffle and have been listening to a pretty good mix of old school first wave Goth, some newer Goth and Industrial stuff, Johnny Cash, Rush, King Crimson, The Pixies, The Misfits, and Metallica.

One of these things is not like the others…one of these things just doesn’t belong. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for eclectic taste in music, but I read that and Johnny just stuck out like a sore thumb.

DJ D, I saw your comment about your show and thought, “Ooh! Imma finally listen tonight! Only another hour or so…” Then, as I kept reading the thread, I realized that it’s Tuesday. Dammit. Maybe next week.

Congratulations on the new job, Jaclyn!

"I could see the problem people would have with Geddy Lee, but I’m an admitted Rush nerd, and like you said, I think it gives the band a lot of character. Nobody sounds like Geddy Lee. Nobody."—DJ D It's funny, I listen to all sorts of stuff with supposedly "extreme" vocals, but it turns out the one thing that can make most of my friends clear a room is if I put on anything with those old school high-pitched male vocals that seem to have fallen out of favor in modern rock and metal music. They're OK with most things, but as soon as I put on something like Rush or Budgie, I can see them cringe. It's a shame that Budgie never got more recognition. Much like Diamond Head, most folks only seem to remember them as "That band that Metallica covered a few times". "Another one is Andi Sexgang from Sex Gang Children. They’re one of my favorite bands of all time, partially because of Andi’s voice, not despite it. The man is just a genius and never really got the recognition he deserved."—DJ D Oh, definitely! One of my favorite vocalists in that whole scene, alongside Phil Black of Anorexic Dread and Nick Cave's old stuff with The Birthday Party. All that old stuff from when goth was more like punk's creepy little brother is guaranteed to put a smile on my face.

DJ D: I also love Rush because the Doctor Neil Peart is one of the GREATEST rock drummer of all time.

Speaking of getting up early/staying up late my new schedule is going to take some serious getting used to. I am on Surgery for the month which means 24 hour call and 5am hospital rounds… Maybe I’ll become one of the middle of the night types. Never been one but I always wondered what the world was like while everyone is asleep. Is anything even open at 3 am?

Thanks, Tryclyde! I’m looking for some stability in my life right now, lol so I’m all for the cube. I have a college degree too, so if I tire of this job, hopefully I can search for a better paying one!

I worked in a cubicle for three years after college, and although different people have different experiences, I dreaded it after about a year. I, personally, am just not meant to work seated in front of a computer all day. But, I hope you enjoy your new job!

Can’t wait for the Halloween Countdown. The only thing I wish Matt did with the Summer Megaparty was write an article about something he did during summer in the past. Those are always the best.
