Honeymoon Suite - New Girl Now

[link] Same genre but much more of a euro new wave feel (a metal-pop manifestation of such). I like this song quite a bit.

Ratt - Round and Round

[link] Overplay helped this song become a cliche.  But boy is it ever a good rock song.  The hooks in verse and chorus, and the unexpected transitions between major and minor.  Genius.

Eyes on Fire - Blue Oyster Cult

[link] Since I'm on a hard rock kick.  This is from the Revolution by Night album (1983), which highlighted their strong pop instincts.  This song is a good example of that (and it is probably not a favorite of their more hard core old school hard rock fans).

Robert Plant - Hip to Hoo

[link] I really like the overall aesthetics of Plant's Shaken 'n' Stirred album.  Like the two before it, which are classics, he experimented with rock without worrying about stuff charting.

keyboard working

My midi keyboard and Yamaha rack synth got set up tonight and work fine.  The wireless midi transmitter that I use is missing its ad adapter for the transmitter, so I ordered a replacement on ebay.  Tomorrow three out of four of us will be meeting and hopefully everyone can make it next week.

Blue Six - Sweeter Love

[link] Never a bad time for some Blue Six. Good for either relaxing or for doing lab work to.

The Big Bang Theory

My dad has watched this show for a while, but I resisted getting into it for a long time.  Lately I've been watching it just before bedtime. It's often really funny.  A lot of talent in the writing and cast.
