The Oakland Raiders and Gene Simmons

Sitting here watching the Denver Broncos and the Oakland Raiders made me start to think about some things tonight. Schools back in session, Fall is rolling in strong, the crazies are all out in full force in Oakland Stadium dressed in full raider garb. Made me start to think about some of the holiday’s coming up with how some of those crazies are dressed for the game. Some literally look like they are wearing Gene Simmons Halloween Costumes and wearing them well.

I’ll admit it, I’ve dressed like the rocker a time or two myself but I don’t know where some of these guys get some of their stuff. Mine never looked this good. I’ve got to get me some of those spiked shoulder pads to go with my Gene Simmons costume. If I get them, you can guarantee that I’ll break the costume out of the closet and go full force with the platform boots and makeup and all. Gonna have to grab a wig though too as my hairs not nearly long enough to go up in the forehead pony tail anymore.

Nada Surf Rocks

One band that never fails to give back is Nada Surf. This is by far one of my favorite groups. The guys have been together since about 1992 and have a song that made them popular back in the day called Popular, which I don’t care much for. What songs I do care for are a lot off their recent album lucky which is smooth and melodic. If you have not given an ear to this one you definitely  need to head on over to Barsuk recors and give it a listen, and maybe you might even buy it.

Soldiers Song By Dabney Morris

The soldiers song is a favorite of mine. Dustin Diamond is pretty much the band of Dabney Morris. The tunes are really melodic, and you can check out whats going on with the band at Myspace of course. read a little bit about how they got started and when you can catch a glimpse of them in Tennessee.
