Non-artwork

I don’t know if I should tell you this, but I added many titles to IMDB, mostly commercials and some pretty famous ones, too!

Speaking of which, I also collect records and found this at an estate sale few weeks ago

Funny story, I originally wanted to get Queen’s first album still in the plastic (which was the main reason I went down there). Someone had already bought it, but than somebody else bought it off of him! Also, a first pressing of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Street Survivors album (Pre-plane crash), but somebody also got that, too. Despite that this is quite a find.

In case, any of you don’t know what I’m talking about. Also to mark the 20th anniversary the kids from the original commercial came back and sang with their own kids.

that’s my random abstraction for the time!

For a while, I’ve been working on a list to show examples of different music genres, partially based on those lists telling you what Pokemon or My Little Pony you are based on music genres. I’m basically listing each known genre, with three unique examples of each (I know some of the more famous ones fall under multiple genres). It is a WIP, feel free to give me suggestions, complain, or what not.
