Somewhere In This World An Angel is Crying

And, now, I'd like to present you with a healthy dose of WTF?!?! I can't make this kind of stuff up:

Flo Rida - Low (Red Jumpsuit Apparatus remix)


Pop quiz, everybody! The song above makes TJ want to:
A)Proclaim the arrival of the golden age of music
B)Weep uncontrollably for the future
C)Punch small children, set fields of flowers ablaze and destroy everything that is beautiful in this world
D)Dance like a moron



If you answered A to that question, go sit in a corner while the rest of us point and laugh. If you said D...just...no. If you answered C, you would be correct. Apparently the way to make an irritating-as-all-unholy-hell song acceptable to people like me is to take a second-rate rock band and put them behind it. Did it work? The scary thing is...I don't know. For the moment I'm hoping this is a joke and I won't turn on Q102 later today to hear this. But if you find me later today and my ears are bleeding and you see some small children crying in a scorched field, you'll know why.

Take Me Out to the Ball Game...

Idolator brought me this story, and being both a music and a baseball fan, it was too good to let pass:

The New York Mets are holding an online contest that will allow fans to pick third baseman David Wright's entrance music. The choices are varied, with everything from Cassie's "Me & U" to Nas' "New York State of Mind" (not to be confused with the Billy Joel version) to Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars" and My Chemical Romance's "Welcome to the Black Parade". If I were to vote (which I haven't yet), I'd probably go with The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again", but the fans should reserve the right, should Wright go into a slump in the playoffs again, to switch the music to Fall Out Boy's "Sugar, We're Goin' Down". But this idea got me thinking about what songs other players should take the field to.

Player: Julio Franco (NYM)
Song: Bill Haley and His Comets - "Rock Around the Clock"
This song was a number one hit in Franco's rookie season.

Player: Brett Myers (PHI)
Song: The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - "Face Down"
Wife-beater jokes never get old.

Player: Barry Bonds (SF)
Song: Milli Vanilli - "Blame it On The Rain"
Cheaters have to stick together

Player: Alex Rodriguez (NYY)
Song: My Chemical Romance - "Welcome to the Black Parade" (link above)
A song about cancer is much more appropriate here than it is for Wright.

Player: Ugueth Urbina
Song: Bob Marley - I Shot the Sheriff
This assumes Urbina makes it out of prison before season's end (Ugey is in a Venezuelan prison on an attempted murder charge)

OK I think the joke's just about run dry. I'll be back later.
