No. It’s not a post about condiments. It’s yet another: Random Posting Surprise™. As in, I’ll start writing something and surprise myself as to what it’s about. I once again started slacking off on posting here after a fairly good start back when I last updated the Oddball Update’s design.

“Super Group” Ist Super!

August 31, 2009October 26, 2011 Pooch

In case you’ve missed me endlessly talking about it on my Twitter account recently, Super Group — the most recent record by Shonen Knife — was released in America last week on Good Charamel Records. Super Group Japan cover However you look at it, though, this review is late.

I’ll Never Give You My Money

You may have heard: the Beatles’ albums are being re-released. On the surface, it’s a Beatle fan’s wet dream: the new discs have awesome packaging, (apparently) superior sound, and best yet — there will be mono releases, just like fans have been wanting for years!

Life Shambles Onward

I’ve been so busy with my “New Life Experience” (sounds like “New Xbox Experience,” har har) that I haven’t bothered posting anything here. So far, I’m happy to say that everything has been going quite well — and quite according to plan.

Knight Song

March 27, 2009October 26, 2011 Chief Oddball

For anyone who, like me, is a fan of the soundtrack from the Knight Rider television series, Don Peake and Hitchcock Media Records have just released two new volumes of music from the show. The new discs — volumes 2 and 3, respectively — just landed and are shipping right now.

Invisible Touch: The 2007 Remaster

June 12, 2008September 22, 2011 Chief Oddball

During my last trip out in the GTO, I realized that it’s been months since I actually changed the CDs in the car’s 6-disc changer deck. As if to prove the point, when I cycled through the discs to see what was what, I found half of the catalog was still left over from last October’s road trip to Michigan.

Let’s Go To The Knife Planet

So here I am again, emerging from another months-long hiatus to gush about a rock band from Japan. I did it last year with Puffy, and now it’s time for…Shonen Knife. The female rock trio has been rocking out for over 25 years now — and has been making regular tours of America for about 15 — but last night was the first time I’d ever seen them live.

Music Post! (In Color)

2007 has been a banner year for CD purchasing for me so far. I swear, I haven’t bought this many CDs in such a short period of time since I worked at a music store — and back then I had the excuse of a 30% employee discount to blame for my constant music purchases (in addition to the free promo CD giveaways that often resulted in me getting such awesome CDs as Cracking Coals and The Family Circus Teaches You German).

My Head Is Like a Random Jukebox

While we were in Miami Beach last week, some random tune jumped into my head, and I started whistling it without realizing what I was doing. It just so happened that it was the opening bars of “Through a Truck/Airport Chase” from Stu Phillips’ Knight Rider score.

“Splurge” Review AND MORE!

July 25, 2006October 7, 2011 Pooch 6 Comments

You knew this was coming, right? Since I posted my thoughts of the Puffy concert in Detroit last week, I figured I’d post my thoughts on the album that spawned said tour – Splurge, due out today in the U.S.
