Pandemonium Cheesecake: Star Trek: TOS.3
http://pandemoniumcheesecake.blogspot.com/2014/03/star-trek-tos3.html
Its about stuff, mostly music and sports. Sunday, March 16, 2014. Star Trek: TOS.3. Another few episodes of TOS watched. The episode numbers correspond to Netflix, so if they are out of canon order, or misnumbered, don't bitch. Deal. Episode 8 - What Are Little Girls Made Of? I just realized why everyone on the bridge is standing on top of each other, its because its so small. Picards ready room is almost the size of the Enterprises bridge. Wouldn't it just be easier to by a sports car Jim? The only thin...

Pandemonium Cheesecake: May 2014
http://pandemoniumcheesecake.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Its about stuff, mostly music and sports. Thursday, May 8, 2014. Fuck The NFL Draft. Let's get one thing straight, football is probably the American pro sports league I care about least. If I had to rank regular season sporting events in order I watch them, it would be:. When the post seasons start, things change, because there is nothing as exciting as playoff hockey. Why? Three words. Sudden. Death. Overtime. Can someone try to explain it to me? How do I know this? Will it be Johnny Football? Barry San...

Pandemonium Cheesecake: August 2013
http://pandemoniumcheesecake.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Its about stuff, mostly music and sports. Saturday, August 24, 2013. New Place, New Set Up. When I moved into my new place I was able to finally set up my stereo. I didn't bring any cds, all in storage. All I brought was my vinyl. One, it wouldn't do as well in storage as the cds; two, there are far less of them (200 v 2000); three, they are cooler. I started with Rush. It seemed appropriate. The first tape I played in the first car I owned? Next, Houses of the Holy. No Quarter' is about as deep and drea...

Pandemonium Cheesecake: Overdue Thoughts on Game 7
http://pandemoniumcheesecake.blogspot.com/2014/11/overdue-thoughts-on-game-7.html
Its about stuff, mostly music and sports. Sunday, November 2, 2014. Overdue Thoughts on Game 7. Mickey Lolich never gets enough love. World Series performance was legendary. Five innings of 2-hit relief work on two days rest. After a complete game shutout? Amazing. I may not see a performance like that in the WS again in my life. His overall WS performance is Top 10 ALL time for a pitcher, maybe even top 5, but to call it. Christy Mathewson (3 complete game shutouts in 6 days. I don’t think so. I’m...

Pandemonium Cheesecake: February 2014
http://pandemoniumcheesecake.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Its about stuff, mostly music and sports. Friday, February 14, 2014. OK Computer, Eh. Their ninth studio album and a complete reversal in sound from their previous record Moving Pictures. The synthesizers, which had been used for moods and accents on the previous records, came forward to dominate the sound. And I hated it when it came out. What I got was the opposite. Instead of driving arena rock I got fuzzy humming synth/pop. Like their debut, Signals. Have I mentioned that I hated it? The album opens ...

Pandemonium Cheesecake: September 2013
http://pandemoniumcheesecake.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Its about stuff, mostly music and sports. Thursday, September 5, 2013. The benefit of this vinyl project is that the records are (usually) short so I listen to them multiple times, especially if I hadn't heard it before. First out of the gate on the next round of vinyl listens is Elton John. S third album (and second of 1970), Tumbleweed Junction. That's right, artists used to release two albums in one calendar year. Now its a miracle to get two albums in a three year period from any major artist. Was ne...

Pandemonium Cheesecake: November 2013
http://pandemoniumcheesecake.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Its about stuff, mostly music and sports. Friday, November 15, 2013. The Pretenders, The Pretenders. What do you get when you cross Wire-like guitars, Clash-style aggression, Kinks-esque pop sensibility, a pair of heroin addicts and a midwest girl who wants to rock (and fuck) just like the boys? You get the self-titled debut from The Pretenders. Released in 1980, The Pretenders. Tattooed Love Boys" is a bomb burst, in 7/16 time (yeah, try counting that out), about a fast girl all grown up. "Space Inv...

Pandemonium Cheesecake: April 2014
http://pandemoniumcheesecake.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Its about stuff, mostly music and sports. Saturday, April 5, 2014. Star Trek: TOS.4. Some more thoughts on watching TOS for the first time ever. It's still weird, the use of 'old technology'. The episode opens with Spock asking the helm to take a 'photograph', then they raise the 'deflectors'. Primitive indeed. Sulu calling for 'condition alert' is the final nail in the coffin of horrible 60s space terminology. There it is, the first one. 'What am I, a doctor or a moon shuttle conductor? Very much a Star...

Pandemonium Cheesecake: January 2014
http://pandemoniumcheesecake.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Its about stuff, mostly music and sports. Wednesday, January 22, 2014. The second ep in a series of three from one of the most influential bands of the 80s. It's hard to listen to this record and not to hold it up against their previous work. It's unfair to the Pixies because most bands would have trouble following up masterpieces like Doolittle. Especially after 20 years. Magdalena" finishes side 1 and could easily fit on their final studio album, Trompe Le Monde. Side two contains a pair of songs as we...
