Come Out and Play

Come Out And Play (Offspring)

The Moog Cookbook

So, the introduction of the Wii Fit was the impetus for our purchase of a Nintendo Wii. We'd hoped to have it for a fun, regular workout during the summer months. Such a device is a perfect for my highly allergic/asthmatic wife, who is challenged by frequent winds carrying an abnormally high pollen count. As luck would have it, the Wii Fits are sold out, so we've been biding our time with the regular games.

I must admit, the active interface is terrific. The shoulders and arms were nice and soreafter the first day of enthusiastic play. As if that wasn't fun enough, it got even better when I realized what I could do with the Mii Character creator. I'd already made a few Mii of friends, so why not other familiar faces?

Joey Ramone bowling...Iggy Pop playing baseball...Tom Waits boxing, oddly enough, a character that looks just like "The Dude" from the Big Lebowski... I LOVE this game.

My wife keeps telling me to stop with the Miis already...
She'll change her tune when she sees her favorite Law & Order characters.

Moog Cookbook

In the mid 90s, a couple of guys decided to use their collection of early Moogs to cover classic rock songs of the 70s. - songs like Cat Scratch Fever, Hotel California, Ziggy Stardust, I Wanna Rock & Roll All Night, and MORE! All given the electronic treatment.

Think R2-D2 on acid...battery acid.

Wizard Of Oz vs the Moog Cookbook

Whole Lotta Love
Moog Cookbook ~ Ye Olde Space Bande Plays Classic Rock Hits

Moog Cookbook covers this classic from Led Zeppelin I entirely on Moog, including vocals. Someone came up with the idea of laying it over a clip from the Wizard of Oz. Both the track and the film clip are completely unedited, with uncanny synchronicity.

One notable cover is of Boston's 'More Than A Feeling'. Fans may recall Boston's declaration that all effects were achieved without the use of synthesizers on their album, Third Stage. Such is all the sweeter that the cover is 100% synth. It's the weirdest sonic thumbed-nose tribute a music geek could perpetrate.

The Moog Cookbook follow-up album featured 90s rock classics like Soundgarten's 'Black Hole Sun' and Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit.' Again, AWESOME!
