Remember that song that Ethan Hawke sang in Reality Bites, right before Winona Ryder dumped him for some homeless man she met on the street? I think it was called I'm Nothing or I've Got Nothing or I Bought Her Three Drinks at That Bar and Still...Nothin. I loved that song, more than the movie itself since its obvious that I barely remember the plot. Anyway just felt like writing in to say that I, too, am nothing. Nothing to contribute to MOG whatsoever. I still like music, I just don't feel like talking about it as much. For the time being, I'd rather just shut up and listen.
That's how hard rockin and straight up 70's it is. I'm putting together my favorite gritty, heavy, shameless, screeching, fuck-it-all songs from the good old days, before MTV, before hairspray interfered with rock n' roll, back when men's mustaches were long and beautiful and their athletic shorts were very, very short. Its the time that Jim Carrey pays tribute to at the Oscars that one year when he dressed up like Jim Morrison and asks the production studio if it would kill them to play a little more Foghat. "
If you have a penchant for hard 70s rock, please take my recommendations or add your favorite to the list! 1. Hair of the Dog - Nazareth 2. All Right Now - Free 3. Godzilla - Blue Oyster Cult 4. Stranglehold - Ted Nugent 5. Rocky Mountain Way - Joe Walsh 6. Slow Ride - Foghat 7. Stone Cold Crazy - Queen

Hair of the Dog! Hell yeah! I love that song! Not exactly in the same vein, but I think I'd throw Golden Earring's "Radar Love" in there too...
I'm making my brother and his wife a "karaoke hits" mix for Christmas, because they both LOVE karaoke. I am still not sure how I'm going to do it, but I think I can use my mixer to turn down the vocals and re-record songs. Anybody tried that before? Ok, and heres's my list of songs so far. I hope they'll want to dive right in and start singing to these but its hard to say what makes someone want to sing. Nostalgia may have a lot to do with it, or number of Fuzzy Navels consumed. I would WELCOME ANY SUGGESTIONS for killer karaoke singalongs.
If You Like Pina Coladas - Barry Manilow All By Myself - Eric Carman We Didn't Start the Fire - Billy Joel Charlie Brown - The Coasters Pennsylvania Polka - Frankie Yankovic (a song for people who like the movie Groundhogs Day) Sometimes When We Touch - Dan Hill Total Eclipse of the Heart - Bonnie Tyler Gold Digger - Kanye West Bitches Ain't Shit - Ben Folds Mr. Roboto - Styx Closing Time - Matchbox Twenty
I would also be happy to mail any karaoke fans a copy of the mix when I'm done! Let me know.

i feel like that too sometimes about writing about music, and when that happens i usually just throw a video up and like one sentence haha, like my most recent post. i do remember that song Ethan Hawke sings though. did he go on to do any music? i remember i read his book because i had a little crush on him at the time.
