$831.78
That is the amount of money I have spent on iTunes since my first purchase as a freshman in college on 9/28/2004. That averages out to 12.99/month or .43/day. Apple must be thrilled with me. I remember loving iTunes because I did not own a car, and it brought the music store to me. The first song I purchased: Peggy’s Blue Skylight - Charles Mingus. I needed it for my guitar ensemble...

On The Draft
I remember while I was in college there were rumors that democrats wanted to introduce a bill that would reinstate the drafts. This, of course, amounted to nothing more than Republican propaganda and showboating. I haven’t given much thought to the military because it has, for much of my life, been an impressive organization noted for it’s size (how small it was) and that it was the...

Get Ready
My Top 10 Albums of 2009 are coming. I didn’t listen to nearly enough albums released this year to have a definitive list that should be respected, but I listed to more than 10 albums released this year and that means I can rank them. Enjoy.

Inglorious Music
BaronVonCrunk's Facebook Status: Coming this Spring, "Inglorious Music", Quentin Tarantino's decidedly different (and violent) take on the classic tale of the Von Trapp family. You'll never think of "So Long, Farewell" the same way again after you've seen Maria and Captain von Trapp behead Hitler while the children dismember Goebbels, Eichman, and Himmler. And don't even ask what becomes of Rolf during the reprise of "Sixteen Going On Seventeen". It's too disturbing to even post.
Stewart's Comment: Sabotaging the Luftwaffe and dropkicking Nazis, Strangling Goebbels, well that's a big Yahtzee, Hitler's bullet-riddled body, tied up with string, These are a few of my favorite things.
