Muse's new song, "Reapers"

I'll wait to cast my final judgment until I hear the studio version of the song, but in the meantime, I'm finding Muse fans' reactions to their new song "Reapers" to be quite amusing.

A couple nights ago, Muse debuted a song from their upcoming album "Drones" live in Belfast, before performing it for a second time last night in Glasgow. The song, "Reapers," was actually the band's closer for the two nights, and upon reading the reactions from fans on the band's homepage, as well as on YouTube, I've had to chuckle a few times.

According to these fans, the song "Reapers" shows hints (influences) of the following bands/musicians:

1) AC/DC
2) Van Halen
3) Led Zeppelin
4) Queen
5) Def Leppard
6) Rage Against the Machine
7) Linkin Park
8) Jack White
9) Madonna
10) Prince
11) Lady Gaga
12) Deep Purple
13) Lynyrd Skynyrd
14) George Michael
15) Iron Maiden
16) Nirvana
17) Radiohead
18) Queens of the Stone Age

Never in my life did I think I'd hear people say a song sounded like both Iron Maiden and Lady Gaga. I suppose that's one reason why I love Muse so much. There are times I wonder if they just place the names of different genres or artists on a piece of paper, put them into a hat, pull a few random ones out, and say to each other, "Yeah, let's see if we can pull off an old school Metallica riff with the beat of a KC & the Sunshine Band song, the vocals of Prince, and oh yeah, let's also include some piano, a saxophone, maracas, and cowbell." Knowing them, they'd probably find some crazy way of making it work.

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
