I’m not a huge fan of stuff that is currently on the radio. I think most of it is lame and a lot of bands out there today are made up of pretty boys (and girls) out to make a buck. And that’s just on the “rock” side of the dial. I don’t even want to get on my soapbox about the state of Hip-Hop right now. Seriously, how is Soulja Boy’s Crank That a hit song? People listen to some wack shit these days and that’s a fact. Today it seems like most artists don’t really care about the music, but are more about the way they look or where they fit in. Enough ranting. The following is a list of my favs from the past year. Some bands you’ve heard of, some you may have not. (Read the article)

If you know me well, then you probably know that I love the hip-hop pioneers known as the Fat Boys. Fat Boys Are Back was easily my favorite album circa 6th grade. I know that my favorite Fat Boy is no longer with us, but I wonder what Prince Markie D and Kool Rock Ski are up to these days? I found this gem today on youtube. Grab some Sbarro’s and Enjoy!

Ever since I saw The Karate Kid in 1984, I have always loved the song “You’re The Best” by Joe Esposito. It’s right up there with “Heart’s on Fire” from the Rocky IV soundtrack in my list of songs to get me fired up. I vividly remember watching the tournament scene from Karate Kid before attending karate classes as a youth to “get pumped up.” As I searched iTunes this morning I decided to search for the song. As it turns out, it is included on the King of Kong soundtrack. I went to buy it and wouldn’t you know it, its “Album Only.” Bummer. As much as I love that song I am hesitant to blow $10 on one song. So in honor of my non-purchase I give you this. Go get fired up!
