Remember 1993? Remember Jurassic Park? Remember Video Games? Yeah, I Member!

If you mosey on down to http://classicvideogamereviews.blogspot.com/, you will see that I just spent a month playing all six 16-bit Jurassic Park games for three different video game systems, then compared and reviewed them, because that is my idea of fun. Alright.

The Nicsperiment’s Pearl Jam Listen-and-Review-a-Thon

If it wasn’t clear from the Nirvana reviews I posted over the summer, in the Nirvana vs Pearl Jam debate in the 90’s, I firmly chose Nirvana to the point that I own every Nirvana album, and no Pearl Jam ones.

We then had a clandestine meeting where we decided to go to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in secret, perhaps while wearing fake glasses and mustaches (we settledContinue reading “Patrick Doyle — Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack”

Paramore — Paramore

9/10 Paramore are too young for me. My millennial wife asked me to buy her their second album, Riot!, shortly after it was released, and I did, and I wasn’t impressed. A year later, my millennial wife asked me to buy her the Twilight soundtrack. More Paramore. The next year (2009), I streamed their thenContinue reading “Paramore — Paramore”
