“Did you partake in the miracle of human flight, you non-contributing zero?” Bravo, sir! And yet, he’s talking about me. :)

Who was the first band you saw live?
moth:
(This is a question going around Tumblr.)
My first concert: The Cure headlined, but The Pixies and Love and Rockets opened, so I guess the Pixies were the first band I ever saw live. I was fourteen: August 20, 1989, Giants Stadium. The bands had just released the albums Disintegration, Doolittle, and Love and Rockets. Do I win this thread, or what?
[not my actual ticket]
New Kids on the Block, Oakland Coliseum, 1989. I was 12. SUCK IT, SHEY.
This is the theme song for TWiF (This Week in Fun) That I recorded on a whim.
Sarah and Marty, if you feel like Pimping my twitter and/or following me, I’m @GabeMcG and would appreciate it!
Please note:
1. I am not a musician
2. I am an awful singer
3. The musical acompanyment is courtesy Microsoft Songsmith, and is accordingly cheesy.
4. Hopefully this will be bad enough to inspire someone to do something better!
My hope is that some or all of the lyrics might make it into an actual theme song for the show recorded by an actual musician.
Lyrics:
You’re week’s finally over/But the fun has just begun/
If you’re still getting ready/You had better run/
It’s This Week in Fun…
Sarah’s always on the ball/Marty’s bouncin’ off the wall/
Only slightly Scatological/TWiF is un-Tweet-Beat-able/
You’re week’s finally over/But the fun has just begun/
If you’re still getting ready/You had better run/
It’s This Week in Fun…
This week was fun…
This Week in Fun…
That is all, enjoy.GabeMcG - Out
This is adorable. Bonus points for incorporating the word “scatological”. Bravo, sir.

Tumblr Dashboard Filter by Post Type »
If you miss the old option on Tumblr that lets you filter search results by post type, this greasemonkey script is a good fix. You need Firefox and Greasemonkey for it to work.
O, happy day!! This has been driving me crazy.
Except.. I can’t seem to get anything filtered. Confused.
Aha!!! Figured it out. Click the magnifying glass next to the search box. Set your parameters (mydashboard/audio, Tumblr/everything, myposts/photos, etc). Then add a term into the search box itself, or if you don’t want to search by term, just click inside the search box and hit enter. Voila!

This first audio post-by-phone is designed to sound like my mom when she leaves a voicemail for me.. peppy, rambling, and vaguely Midwestern.

A curious Valentine song choice, I know. But good tunes is good tunes.
