Political Nanny: Looks Like Sarah Palin is McCain's VP Pick! (Babble)

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 14:37:00 GMT

She gave birth to her fifth child some months ago, a little boy, Trig Paxon Van Palin (Palin rhymes with Halen, as in "Van Halen"). Trig has Down Syndrome. Here are some other preliminary deets (from Atlantic Monthl y):...

Van Hagar '08 (Reason Magazine - Hit & Run)

info@reason.com (Damon W. Root) — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 17:26:56 GMT

Gov. Sarah Palin just made a serious push for those disgruntled Hillary Clinton supporters, namedropping Geraldine Ferraro and promising to break the glass ceiling. Is the McCain camp's decision to blast Sammy Hagar-era Van Halen part of this strategy? Unless my ears deceived me, I just heard Van Hagar rockin' the house in Dayton. That ain't no green collar rock! Of course, Mr. Cabo Wabo will...

Something Else #18: DLR Vocal Track (The Joy of Sox)

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 00:34:00 GMT

If you were following along in Saturday's game thread, you saw my link to today's off-day fun. While the Red Sox were getting routed, I surfed somewhere (???) and found a link to this Chunklet post. In January 2008, an mp3 of David Lee Roth's vocal track for the 1978 Van Halen song " Runnin' With The Devil " popped up online. A post-Chunklet Google search led me here and then here . Several...

Not since Eddie Van Halen ripped off brother Alex's guitar and began shredding has a rock band made such a splash on the music scene. Well, maybe I'm drinking the turd factory Kool-Aid. Ya see, a few months back Big Raggedy sports dood rounded up a few hard-rock wannabes in an attempt to live out his life's dream: fronting a rock band. After a couple hastily arranged practices, the guys threw...

A special thank goes to user Synthartist69 and his video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYeNj4... which instructed me on how to play that song. A note on the bassline: it's different from the original one, but it's a mine choice. The sound comes from The JP8000, which it's being played thru my good old Roland Juno...

Video Break: Van Halen- Hot for Teacher (Comics Fairplay)

Sat, 16 Aug 2008 03:26:00 GMT

I heard "Hot For Teacher" by Van Halen on the radio today and it instantly transported me to 1984. Back in the day I thought that this was a fun, innovative video, and indeed it does hold up for me today. Highlights are the mini-Halens, Eddie's lack of dancing ability, and poor Waldo. This video doesn't take itself too seriously, and it makes me long for the days when Dave was King and...

Hmmmm... (Leo's Stuff)

noreply@blogger.com (Leo) — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 08:34:00 GMT

Fell asleep last night with the MP3 player playing in my ears. Around 2:30, I woke up to the sounds of what I consider the last 'real' Van Halen tune ever recorded, 'Me Wise Magic' which was done around 1996 or so for their compilation album, Best of Both Worlds. As it turns out, that's not even right since Michael Anthony didn't play bass on any of the 3 new tunes that were on that release...
