April 2024 (2/3) | Still trying to listen to Skype Voicemails…
TL;DR, Scott Nickell discovered the final piece of the puzzle and gave me a heads up on it. See repository with updated README.md. I’ve also made an easy way to upload files and have them converted to MP3s Skype Voicemail Listener.
The end of the trilogy has just began…
Read MoreIt’s 1996, and I used to record music videos off the television during the night while I sleep on a VHS tape set to EP. This gave me 6 hours of music and memories. I’d wake up early on Saturday mornings, plug in my VHS tape, and see what awesome music I captured.
First song: Soul to Squeeze by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Ringmaster, Clowns, Freak Shows, Awesome.
Second song: Shame by Stabbing Westward. Intro: Apartment, Night. Leggy brunette walks into scene, cut to band charging up, song starts while brunette turns up radio and begins jamming in her red undies. The next 5 hours 45 minute of this VHS didn’t matter anymore.
The hell did this come from? This is awesome. Nick stalking Julie, A cop in a bad position, the band intertwined in this entire scenario, cheering at the end, complete entertainment. I’m hooked. I buy Wither Blister Burn + Peel along with Ungod with my 1 cent from the Columbia House (along with Fear Factory, Soundgarden, etc), and successfully navigate my teenage years with both albums.

I’ve made both videos available as a YouTube playlist.
Read MoreCame across a Facebook video that I felt the need to “document”. Specifically a list of 120 songs between the years of 1990 to 1999, also called “My Teenage Playlist“.
This page is going to heavily depend on external links to Wikipedia and YouTube.
Read MoreA song recorded and released May 1973 came into a resurgence almost 10 years ago by Sara Bareilles with her amazing rendition. Sang recently at the NEXT / Kennedy Center for the 2024 Near Years Eve celebration.
There’s been many other things that find their finality in 2024, and for once I’m glad closure was invented for many of these.
