Idol blogging suspended
Mar 28, 2010 Blog News, That's Hot
There’s been so much going on in life lately that I haven’t been able to keep up all that well in blogging American Idol episodes, and so I’m suspending my blogging of them for this year. I haven’t decided yet whether to restart next year or not, or just watch it like everyone else… but I do plan to keep up with Project52 and keep posting something once a week. Stay tuned…
Pauley’s ‘Get Psyched’ Mixes
Mar 23, 2010 Music, That's Hot
In a late-December-2005 episode of “How I Met Your Mother,” Barney Stinson was excited about the new “get psyched” mix CD he’d created. Thanks to the website TV Squad, high-definition TV and a DVR, we know the track listing on the prop CD, as Barney wrote it:
- “I Wanna Rock” — Twisted Sister
- “You Give Love A Bad Name” — BJ (Bon Jovi)
- “Lick It Up” — KISS
- “Paradise City” — GNR (Guns N’ Roses)
- “Dancing With Myself” — Billy Idol
- “Rock You Like A Hurricane” — Scorpy (Scorpions)
- “Panama” — Van Halen
- “Talk Dirty To Me” — Poison
- “Thunderstruck” — AC/DC
- “Dr. Feelgood” — Crue (Motley Crüe)
- “Round and Round” — Ratt
Between finding the track listing online and having some songs in my own iTunes library that would psych me up, I was inspired to create a mix or two of my own. I gave myself a few conditions: 1) I could reuse the same artists from Barney’s mix, but none of the same songs, 2) an artist cannot appear more than once on a mix and 3) I also can’t have used a song on a “road mix” CD I’d previously created (I have a few CDs burned from iTunes playlists for driving in the car).
