Remember CCR a few days ago?

Yeah...Deep Purple's another band that Anthropology directly introduced to me.

<sigh> What can I say but the truth?

They're pretty amazing. Of course I could put Smoke on the Water here, but that's not my favorite song from the only album I have of theirs, Machine Head. (Released in 1972.)

That designation has to go to:

Hey there, friends and followers of mine, as well as you randos who just clicked on this page. Yes, I see you there, and I don't mind.

Heck, I made this blog post so that people can get to know me more, so you're in the right place. (It gets more interesting after my random things that I like, but I'd still like you to read those, please.)

And RainbowDash2012 says to tell you that I, Tape Deck, am AWESOME. Fine by me.

Oh boy am I excited to share this one.
So, to have heard of this band before, you basically have to be part of one of these three specific groups:

1. An Australian fan of indie rock in the 90's.
2. A fan (or former fan) of the gosh immensely popular show "Bluey".
3. Someone who's literally already checked them out via my music recommendation master list.

Swamp rock. Seems like a weird name for a genre, but if you've heard of it at all, pretty much only one band really comes to mind.

(And even if you haven't heard of "swamp rock" you've surely heard a song by Creedence Clearwater Revival before.)

All hail Nightmare Moon.

Bad Moon Rising by CCR, from the 1969 album Green River.

Tape Deck told me that he's not for everyone, but if you can appreciate a guy who, underneath all the randomness and geography (which Tape Deck seems to really like), is a pretty nice and respectful guy, RD's your man.

Give him a chat sometime. TD apparently talks to him every day.

Good morning, you wonderful ponies er, how do you say it...paeoplle?

I saw that this "Tape Deck" guy was doing a music thing, so I asked him if I could try one as well.

Thankfully, he said yes. He even gave me your usernames so my songs can reach the same people. How cool is that?

Not as cool as carrot cake, but still pretty cool.

Mmmm...carrot cake.

We're at ten! That's only 1/100 of where Vertigo22's at! Yay?...

Oh Jacki...What took you so long?

Heartbeat City by the Cars from the 1984 album also called Heartbeat City.

The noise electric never stops.

Sadly, cute MLP ponies do not exist. That we know of.

Luckily, there's fluffy doggies to compensate.
That's Daisy, my Great Pyrenees who's going to turn three in June.
She's great, but she barks a ton. You couldn't even guess how much she barks.

A Fire Pit (With S'mores)
What? it's what I said it would be. I delivered.

Hey RainbowDash2012.
I remember us both saying we liked 80's music a lot.

The Plastic Age by the Buggles.
(The video was edited together from some different promos, with maybe some extra images I think, by someone on YouTube.)

See this guy? Destiny Chaser

He's a supremely talented author who sadly hasn't gotten much of the recognition he deserves.

He does it all: great action, believable and complex characters, moments of absolute hilarity here and there, actually trying his hardest to make something completely unique and succeeding, etc. I could go on all day. There's a reason his stories are some of my favorites on the site.
