Weekly Stuff v6.

So yeah. Work's a pain, but I get to listen to music. And days off are amazing. Also, FOOTBALL'S BACK! In t-minus 15 hours and 22 minutes from the time my fingers finished typing this part, we'll be watching the kick off of the 2011 NFL season between the Saints and Packers (GO SAINTS!). I'm pumped! Also, hockey starts up again pretty soon, and like any good Canadian, it's time to breath hockey and bleed my team's colours: blue and green (Vancouver, baby!)!

But onto the musical shenanigans. I'm going to have two charts. My top 5, as usual, and a special one to herald the beginning of two awesome seasons: Top 5 sports songs!

Without further ado,
Top 5 of this week (09/06-09/12):
5.) Guitar Gangsters & Cadillac Blood - Volbeat (Guitar Gangsters & Cadillac Blood)
4.) Grist - Drumcorps (Unknown)
3.) Stop! Before It's Too Late and We've Destroyed It All - Atreyu (The Congregation of the Damned)
2.) All I Want - A Day To Remember (What Separates Me From You)
1.) Passage D - The Flashbulb (Kirlian Selections)

Wait, what? A drum n' bass song? With classical? Am I on the right blog? Yeah, you are. Welcome to my hidden side of my music taste: I love The Flashbulb's music. The ingenuity and creativity (using PVC pipes for songs [DIDJ PVC]) as well as instrumental skills (tap-strumming guitars [Lawn Wake IV]) mixed with beats, buzzes, and such for a truly unique musical journey.

And, my top 5 sports songs:
5.) A staple at any sporting event. The best sure fire way to get some crowd dancers and some crazy headbangers, it's: Blitzkrieg Bop - The Ramones
4.) Goal song, intro song, chant song, whatever it is. You name it, and this song will be used for it, and used effectively. WOOHOO, it's: Song 2 - Blur
3.) It's the final period/quarter and you need to get your crowd pumped. All of the sudden. 2 notes on the bass, followed by 3 sets of 2 more notes. The eruption begins as one of the most familiar intro riffs ever shreds the sound system. All aboard, it's: Crazy Train - Ozzy Osbourne
2.) You've got 2 minutes left. Maybe you're winning. Maybe you're losing. Maybe you're shorthanded, or on 4th down. Get that crowd roaring and the blood pumping with Axel Rose's intro shriek, as well as an intro that just begs for headbanging. It's time for fun and games with: Welcome To the Jungle - Gun N' Roses
1.) Where the Streets Have No Name - U2
Just watch.
It's an unorthodox intro song, but one that serves it's purpose with such spine-chilling excellence.
