New Pixies Related Stuff!

Tomorrow (Tuesday), there will be a new Xygni & Cookie Rock Band DLC Review on my channel over at YouTube at around 6 PM Western Time:

http://youtube.com/user/xygni

We'll be reviewing SEVENTEEN songs, including the Pixies entire Doolittle album, as well as three Weezer songs.

At the same time, we'll be playing Doolittle over at X Rock Radio, so check it out!

And as always, we'll have individual reviews of each of the 17 songs up by the weekend. And X Rock Radio is playing music 24/7!

Check Out my Radio Station!

So I started up my own internet radio station called X Rock Radio today. It's something I've wanted to do for a while and I finally did!

Check it out here: xrockradio.youstream.fm

We'll be on air 24/7 so check it out. Occasionally I'm hoping to get my friend and i to talk between certain songs...

It's probably the only place where you'll hear Van Morrison after Slayer, and Pantera after Mogwai.

Later we'll be playing The Downward Spiral in its entirety as well.

13 Albums That Will Blow Your Mind: Number Ten- The Downward Spiral

Number Ten

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails

(1994)

1. Mr. Self Destruct

2. Piggy

3. Heresy

4. March of the Pigs

5. Closer

6. Ruiner

7. The Becoming

8. I Do Not Want This

9. Big Man With A Gun

10. A Warm Place

11. Eraser

12. Reptile

13. The Downward Spiral

14. Hurt

Few people can pack as much raw emotion into their music as Trent Reznor does, and The Downward Spiral is the perfect example of what he's capable of. This album defined the industrial rock scene of the 90's. There's a great balance between the songs, and you can definitely tell Reznor took time in making sure the songs were ordered well. Tracks like Piggy and Hurt embody a stripped-down, saddening tone. These songs are offset with fuzzy, feedback riddled guitars and anger filled vocals found in many of the other tracks, including Heresy and March of the Pigs. This album is definitely like nothing you've heard before, and nothing you'll hear after it.

13 Albums That Will Blow Your Mind: Number 11- American Idiot

Just kidding. :)

Number Eleven

Back In Black by AC/DC

(1980)

1. Hells Bells

2. Shoot to Thrill

3. What You Do for Money Honey

4. Givin' the Dog A Bone

5. Let Me Put My Love Into You

6. Back In Black

7. You Shook Me All Night Long

8. Have A Drink On Me

9. Shake A Leg

10. Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution

AC/DC's first album without Bon Scott, Back In Black, successfully created some of the biggest rock songs ever. It's also responsible for some of the most recognizable guitar riffs ever, especially the ones on Back In Black and Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution. This album rocks so hard that it shouldn't be legal. This is the kind of music that makes you want to break stuff and play it as loud as possible. Every hard rock album to follow in the 1980's were just attempts to rock as hard as this album does.

iFeelWeird gets a proper end!

There's still some juice left in iFeelWeird. At least enough for one more episode.

We brought the show back in October of last year, and had a triumphant 1 episode season... So now FinishedCookie and I have decided to officially end the show with one last episode.

Episode 35: iFeelWeird's End will be uploaded only on YouTube. So for the 2,000 people who watched it over here on Gamespot, be sure to keep checking YouTube.

As much as the original cast as possible will appear again. Eveyone so far has been really psyched to film this last episode.

So far, Episode 35 will feature:

So if anyone cares to watch it, it will be out pretty soon. :)

List of the Day (Sort of): Albums I found!

Traffic- The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys

Van Morrison- Moondance

The Beatles- The White Album

The Beatles- Beatles '65

The Beatles- Meet the Beatles

The Beatles- Rubber Soul

The Beatles- Help!

The Beatles- Something New

The Rolling Stones- High Tide and Green Grass

The Grateful Dead- Dead Set

The Grateful Dead- American Beauty

The Allman Brothers Band- Brothers and Sisters

Creedence Clearwater Revival- Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival- More Creedence Gold

Robin Williams- Reality... What A Concept

Now I just need either a record player or a bunch of frames... Or both.

I'm especially psyched to have an original copy of L.A. Woman and With the Beatles! Though I'm not entirely sure why. :P

25. Revolution 1

26. Honey Pie

27. Savoy Truffle

28. Cry Baby Cry

29. Revolution 9

30. Good Night

Few albums are as important as this one. Not just to me, but to music in general. I can say with confidence that this is one of the most important albums of all time. That aside, it's also one of my favorites. It's overwhelmingly packed with great Beatles music. I had an extremely difficult time picking out my three favorite songs for this album. The only reason it isn't higher on the list is because some of the songs are too outlandish to be enjoyable for me. (I'm looking at you, Revolution 9!) However, for every two tracks I don't like as much, there's twenty-eight songs that are damn near perfect. Also, I just noticed that both this and The Wall are 4 side albums with mostly white covers. Which is weird.

13 Albums That Will Blow Your Mind: Number Thirteen- The Wall

Number Thirteen

The Wall by Pink Floyd

(1979)

1. In the Flesh?

2. The Thin Ice

3. Another Brick in the Wall, Part 1

4. The Happiest Days of Our Lives

5. Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2

6. Mother

7. Goodbye Blue Sky

8. Empty Spaces

9. Young Lust

10. One of My Turns

11. Don't Leave Me Now

12. Another Brick in the Wall, Part 3

13. Goodbye Cruel World

14. Hey You

15. Is There Anybody Out There?

16. Nobody Home

17. Vera

18. Bring the Boys Back Home

19. Comfortably Numb

20. The Show Must Go On

21. In the Flesh

22. Run Like Hell

23. Waiting for the Worms

24. Stop

25. The Trial

26. Outside the Wall

The Wall was the last great album of the 1970's, bar none. As with all Pink Floyd music, the songs are complex and diverse. There's quiet, calm songs like Hey You, and Mother as well as straightforward rock songs like Young Lust and Run Like Hell. When listened to as a whole, the album connects together seamlessly as a story about breaking through self-imposed isolation, but the songs are equally as enjoyable individually. If you only listen to one song from this whole album, make it Comfortably Numb. The guitar solos and lyrics even more incredible than the rest of this already amazing album.

What's gonna be number 12? Find out tomorrow!
