The Scorpions have finally released the tracklisting for their new album.
Here it is:
1. Hour I 2. The Game Of Life 3. We Were Born To Fly 4. The Future Never Dies 5. You're Lovin' Me To Death 6. 321 7. Love Will Keep Us Alive 8. Your Last Song 9. Love Is War 10. Rise Again 11. The Cross 12. Humanity
Just looking at the titles, I am NOT impressed. I'll buy the album, definitely, but from the looks of these titles I'll be skipping over several tracks.... Unless I am mistaken.... God, I hope I am mistaken!
Pick a specific time in your life that you found enjoyable...tell us about it. Ah, the high school years 1976 - 1980
What music do you remember from that time? There was a lot of country/pop crossover music back then, and I was really into artists like RRonnie Milsap, Linda Ronstadt, and Dolly Parton!
Why was that music important to you then? I was a kid with big dreams of becoming a country star someday...
Did the music help make that time enjoyable? Hell, yeah. I even played a few shows before reality took over my world!
2. What kind of automobile do you WISH you drove? I'm quite fond of my car. It would be nice to have a brand new Ferrari or even a Ford Mustang, but I can't complain about my Candace...
3. When is the last time you bought a vehicle (new or used)? Candace and I got together aboutr two years ago.
4. What is your color of choice as far as vehicles go? My last three cars have all been red...
5. Do you regularly have your oil changed? I try, not always successfully...
6. How long do you generally keep a vehicle before thinking about buying a new one? I become very attached to my vehicles. I will keep them and fix them until they can be fixed no more...
7. What kind of automobile will you buy next? Most likely a cheap red one, but Candace has plenty of life left in her. I don't see myself buying one anytime soon.
10 songs that sum up your weekend...or were on your weekend playlist...and one picture that relates back. (oh, and if you feel like it, tell us why you picked the songs you did)

I Refuse To Conform!
You Are 73% Non Conformist
You are a pretty serious non conformist. You live a life hardly anyone understands. And while some may call you a freak, you're happy with who you are.
Top Five Rainy Day Songs (Not necessarily about rain but songs you listen to or pick you up on rainy days...etc)
1. Here Comes The Sun - The Beatles 2. I'll Follow the Sun - The Beatles 3. Behind The Sun - Eric Clapton 4. Setting Sun - Michael Schenker Group 5. Heat Wave - Linda Ronstadt
~ What was the first musical movie you saw (not necessarily broadway related) Hmmm... There are two movies (both musicals) which I recall seing in 1965, the year of their release. I'm not certain which one I saw first...
Help
and
The Sound of Music
~ What was the most recent musical movie you saw? Music And Lyrics
~ Have you ever seen a movie because of the music that was in it? Does anyone else remember the R rated cartoon flick of 1981 called Heavy Metal?!
Music by Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, Cheap Trick, Devo, Donald Fagen, Grand Funk Railroad, Sammy Hagar, Journey, Nazareth and Stevie Nicks was one of the main reasons I chose to see it.
~ What is your favorite musical (Movie and Broadway show if you have one) Movie - The Sound of Music Broadway show - Cats
1. How many times do you wake up during the night? I seldom ever wake during the night when I am on my normal schedule, probably because I go to bed so late and sleep so little.
2. On an average, how many hours of sleep do you try to get? As long as I get four to six hours of sleep, I'll be fine. I wouldn't want to go too many days on just four, though...
3. What day of the week do you do your "major" housecleaning? I don't! That's what Michael A.K.A. Adrian (Monk) is for.... You'll have to ask him.
4. How often do you move your furniture to clean behind it? Refer to the answer to the above question. Gotta love that boy!
5. Do you do your dishes by hand or do you own a dishwasher? Have I mentioned that I have a Michael? So much better than those electronic things and multi-purpose. I bet you all want one now, too!
10 songs that sum up your weekend...or were on your weekend playlist...and one picture that relates back. (oh, and if you feel like it, tell us why you picked the songs you did)
The first song on the list is in honor of St Patrick's Day, the rest are random selections provided by my ever freaky Media Player...
1. Beer, Beer, Beer - The Irish Rovers 2. Within You, Without You - The Beatles 3. Who Says You Can't Go Home - Bon Jovi 4. To Be No. 1 - Scorpions 5. Freshly Squeezed - Scorpions 6.

In Honor Of St Patty
I had my very first green beer (or two) today! It's hard to believe that I've been alive for this long, but had yet to try it. It's no different in taste from the regular beer, but it looks SO pretty.
Nut case that I am, I photographed the strange brew, but I forgot that I can't transfer the pictures to a computer until I go home tomorrow afternoon. My poor laptop just can't handle the strain that the camera software puts on its memory.
Top five musical things (songs, albums, bands..whatever) that put you in the St Patrick's Day mood.
Have I ever mentioned that I'm not Irish, not even a wee bit, not even on St. Patrick's Day?!
With that said, I'll have a go at it, but don't expect much!
1. Beer, Beer, Beer - The Irish Rovers (song) 2. Elvis Costello (Irish artist) 3. The 3 Words, Beer, Beer, and Beer group on Last FM! 4. Gary Moore (Another Irish artist) 5. U2 (Irish band)

Is It Possible?
Have you ever wondered if it is possible for two people to live together for 55 years without killing each other?
It's amazing! It's astounding! It can be done! These two people have been together for 55 years today... and they haven't killed each other, YET!
Happy anniversary, Mom & Dad!

Hump Day Hunt
It's time for the weekly photo meme from the folks at Foto Pherrets
With spring just around the corner and extra sunshine in my life due to the early onset of Daylight Saving Time, Mama Pherret's (who IS she?!) spirits are lifting, So...
It's time to celebrate St Patrick's Day and what do people usually do on St Patrick's Day? Get Drunk!

~ Who writes the best music to get drunk to? I want to get drunk to music that makes me happy, so..... Michael Schenker, Scorpions, UFO
~ Do you have any music related stories that involve drinking? Do tell! We like to share here! A picture is worth a thousand words...
1. Do you believe in reincarnation? Let's just say that I don't disbelieve. I'm open to all spiritual possibilities. I think that all of our relationships with the powers in the universe greater than ourselves are as unique as we are...
2. Do you own any anime figures? I do own a model of the Tallgeese II from Gundam Wing...
The photo on the box.
3. Are you one of the fanfic writers over at www.fanfiction.net? No, if I write a fan fiction, I prefer to post it in my own webspace.
4. Do you review stories which are posted in www.fanfiction.net? No, I'm not a big fan of fan-fiction...
5. Are you looking forward to seeing the third Spider-Man film? The first movie was OK, the second not as good. There's no way that I want to sit through a third.
6. Are you looking forward to seeing the Fantastic Four sequel? BLECH! I wish that Hollywood would quit bastardizing the cartoon heroes of my childhood!
7. Do you like "Deal or No Deal"? In a word, no.
8. Are you a television watcher? Not a big one. I have a few shows that I like, but not many. TV just ain't what it used to be...
9. Do you write letters to people? By snail mail, no. By email, occasionally...

I Should Be Excited
I got the email from the list of doom yesterday. The Scorpions are finishing the work on their new album. Oh, wow, they're promising to have little snippets available for our listening pleasure shortly...
Whoopie! How about promising some East coast tour dates with this album. How about offering a single track for free download. THAT might excite me.
As it stands, I am not impressed.
Go take care of your baby brother, Rudolf. Act like you give a crap about him. THAT would REALLY impress me...
Oh, I forgot.The only one you care about is yourself...

Up in the sky, above the tree... What, O, What could it be?
