Musings of a Punk Rock Father

I just added another widget: books I am currently reading. I saw Kyle's library widget on his blog, and wanted just to add what I am reading right now. So I set up a LibraryThing account to do just that.

I haven't taken time to check out all I can do on my blog, but yesterday I dug into the admin portion and found some cool stuff. I changed skins so as to allow for a sidebar, into which I discovered I can insert widgets. I didn't even know what a widget was, but I managed to figure out that I could insert stuff from my last.fm account, such as recently played songs or most popular artists of the week. I also put a compilation (which I blogged about a few weeks ago) together on last.fm, and inserted it into my sidebar also. I feel pretty awesome. Now I want to find other sites where I can get more widgets to insert here, just because I know I can.

I keep hoping to start blogging regularly, but by the time I get a chance to login here, I forget whatever I was thinking of blogging about.

Man or Astroman | Test Driver | Not even a song, more like a speaker test for A/V equipment
Billy Childish and Holly Go-Lightly | Let Me Know You | Great garage tune from Headcoats/Headcoatees genuises
Teengenerate | Mess Me Up | Awesome Japanese band singing in unintelligible English
Today Is the Day | Timeless | Another non-song. It's too bad this track popped up instead of an actual song, because I have been obsessed with this album lately
Mudhoney | Real Low Vibe | The title describes the way the song sounds pretty well
Gorilla Biscuits | Big Mouth | I didn't start listening to the Gorilla Biscuits until about 2 years ago, but these would have been great anthems for my high school years
Pixies | Gouge Away | Another album I discovered too late in life
The Infections | C'mon | X-Rip Offs on Rip Off Records
Offspring | Beheaded | This coincidentally played yesterday on my iPod also
Gaunt | Don't Tell | I really need to get more Gaunt stuff. I'm trying to sell my LPs, and replace them with CDs, like I Can See Your Mom From Here, Kryptonite, Whitey the Man, etc
