Classic Rock – The Macaroni & Cheese of the Music World

Lillian Beauregarde on 12 30, 2009

When I’d heard about the events of 9/11 I was in some serious need of comfort. I made Kraft mac & cheese and watched the Muppet Movie. When nothing else made sense and my view of the world I lived in was completely shaken, those two things provided safety and security. I know this seems like a giant leap for most of you, but that’s how I feel about Classic Rock. It provides a comfortable place when other things don’t compute. Today, I’m feelin’ the love for Angus and the boys…

AC/DC

I find it truly annoying that the music of AC/DC is still not available for mp3 download. Yes. I’m used to getting what I want right when I want it. I’m a child of the “me” generation in only that I’ve got enough computer knowledge to move myself along quite well. Anyhoozers, I love AC/DC. They are perfect in any situation which is why I find them mindlessly comforting. Shredding guitars and screamed lyrics are perfect for crying, shouting, or jumping around like an idiot.

Oh that car… if it were possible to make babies with an automobile

Starting a road trip? Need some music? Back in Black (blip.fm / Not Available in Mp3 form Whole Album Here) is your main man like woah fire. The entire album is made for either screwing or driving or driving while screwing… really. I’m not judging you. You need more road music? Grab Highway to Hell (blip.fm / Not Available in Mp3 form Whole Album Here) while you’re at it because if Supernatural has taught me one thing it’s that AC/DC is wonderful while you’re driving along an abandoned stretch of road while hunting demons.

THE HOUSE IS CLEAN… YAY!!!

Roadtripping not your thing? You want something for cleaning the house? I recommend Thunderstruck (Blip.fm / Not Available in Mp3 form Whole Album Here). I feel a sense of supreme power over vacuum cleaners and dust while this song is playing. I feel like I’m winning against the never-ending pile up of house work to be done at any point. Mind you, my roomie will laugh when she reads this because I don’t clean so much. This is why we need the psych up music for such an operation. It’s like professional athletes get a song for when they come on the court or the field… I need it when cleaning. Also included in the psych up mix is T.N.T. (Blip.fm/ Not Available in Mp3 form Whole Album Here)

Goodnight and good luck people… and if you’re driving in this sleet… be careful… and stop reading in your car!!!
