Top 8 Random 80s Songs — Part II

Posted by shiny  Published in randomness

Apparently the audio daily double in yesterday’s post was a bit too challenging.  Some of you are wonderful 80s music experts like myself — that is, if you’re not listening to a three-second snippet of eight songs simultaneously. So — I’ve decided to be a bit more generous.  Instead of putting all of the songs […]

List on the 3s: Shiny’s Top Nine Cover Songs

Posted by shiny  Published in List on the 3s

“List on the 3s” is my semi-regular series where I come up with some sort of list on any date that has a “3” in it. And you know what? I’m running out of lists. I really thought I’d have enough to last me through 2013, but I’m sadly mistaken. If you have any suggestions […]

Posted by shiny  Published in blatant plagiarism

Sorry I haven’t blogged lately, blah blah blah. Due to a lack of creativity, I’m stealing this meme that’s been going around — and, in my usual flavor, I’ll be a smart-ass about it. 🙂 UPDATE: I’m re-posting this because I realized that some of you thought that the lyrics posted were actually fabricated by […]

“List on the 3s:” Top 8 Songs Which Should Not Ever Be Remade

Posted by shiny  Published in List on the 3s

I’m going to try something funky: On every calendar day which has the number 3 in it (such as, for example, April 3), I’ll be producing some kind of original list as a blog entry. I chose the number 3 because it appears anywhere between 3 to 5 times a month, which will hopefully keep […]
