I have compiled a list of songs with totally awesome xylophone solos.
Because.
You’re welcome.

Gunner Mix #2
I have managed again to fill 70 minutes with songs that are appropriate and fun for a six-year-old boy, and which also happen to be awesome! I made myself a copy of this mix to keep in my car, as a matter of fact. “Who Wants to Rock?” was a great way to start it off (love that song), and notice how “Iron Man” and “War Machine” are back to back? Yeah.
I’ve started compiling song ideas for mix number three, like the Chipmunks version of “Wooly Bully“, and “The Monster Mash” (fun!).

Gunner Mix
Every once in a while, Gunner is really interested in the music I’m listening to, so I figure maybe he’s outgrowing his SpongeBob soundtrack. I decided the make a special mix CD just for him, but it was a bit more difficult than I had originally thought–turns out I have a lot of music that is both inappropriate and uninteresting to a 5-year-old (go figure). But one day we were listening to some Sepultura in the car, and Ratamahatta came on and Gunner absolutely loved it! He loves singing his own “gibberish” songs, so a song in Portuguese was right up his alley. I added that song to his mix playlist, and along with the three Queen songs already on there it was a whopping 9 minutes. I finally decided to just go through everything I have and add whatever I thought might work, and then listen to the playlist all the way through to edit stuff out that would be boring for him (or had hidden swears that I had forgotten about).
The final CD turned out really awesome! I almost made a duplicate for myself, but then I figured I’d be hearing it ten times through every day and that would be enough. A couple highlights that he has really enjoyed are Peaches and Buttmachine (again, go figure).

Beneath the Surface 3/6/10
Things have been going well for my husband’s metal band, Beneath the Surface. They had their second gig at 1st Ave Live on March 6th, and I was able to snap some better photos and one of the house techs even shot some video and posted it on YouTube!
LOL, Brett is such a goon (the guitarist). Oh, my hubby is the bass player, btw. They are building quite a local following and more gigs are being lined up. I’m going to be building an official website for them, and we need to get some shirts and stickers printed up. They’re pounding away working on new material, and hopefully they can have an 8-track-or-so album ready to record by the mid-to-late summer. They rock and it’s awesome! WOO!
