From Idolator via the AV Club comes a pretty cool music meme - compile a list of your favorite albums, with one for each year you've been alive. Sounds easy enough, but some years are positively stacked with music I love.  Forcing me to choose among my musical children is just so...cruel. For me the most bountiful years were 1975-1978, 1980, 1982-1984, 1990, 1997, 1999, 2002, 2006, and 2007. 1975 - Kiss, Alive! 1976 - Led Zeppelin, Presence 1977 - Rush, A Farewell to Kings 1978 - ...

I received an interesting email from eMusic today that challenged me to test my musical intelligence. Naturally I got right on that. I scored a 129 out of 180 (how it's scored I have no idea), which makes me a Mix-Tape Master (aw yeah!). Here's what it says about me: You are a music evangelist: the person in your network of friends who always has the coolest new song, the one whose iPod gets picked to DJ every party.

Ever notice how most posts that spread internet memes usually start with a proclamation by the author that they don't usually do memes? Well not me. But seriously, I usually don't spread memes.

The first article title on the page is the name of your band. 2. Go to http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3. The last four words of the very last quote is ... Read on, Daddy-O

I even love bad ones. But this one is pretty good (lifted from Culture kills). Of course I'm the special kid in school so I'm probably the last one to do this, but that's about par for the course. I just got rid of my last pair of Z Cavaricci pants like 5 years ago. 1. Name a movie that you have seen more than 10 times. I can name more than one - Flash Gordon, Weird Science, Caddyshack, and Nightmare ... Read on, Daddy-O

Nothing cures a pesky bout of writer’s block like a good old-fashioned Inter-web meme! I stumbled across one today on a blog that is full of crap. So like the lemming I am, here we go… The gag here is that you travel to musicoutfitters.com and enter the year you graduated high school into their search engine. It gives you a list of the top 100 songs for that year, based on some super-secret algorithm. If you didn’t graduate high school, just have ... Read on, Daddy-O
