I’m not sure who loves this more, me, or my 1 1/2 year old son.

A song “Internet Wasteland” from Eddy Boston about web programming and coding. He and a friend dreamed it up over Fish ‘n’ Chips. Some of it is pretty funny, especially the lines about AOL and Adwords. You can read the lyrics in addition to listening to the song.

Eddy Boston is a musician out of Massachusetts. I like the quote from his bio:

If it weren’t for my stupidity, I’d be some kind of genius.

The Beastie Boys are one of my favorite bands of all time. Besides the classic Licensed to Ill album (1986), I especially like Check Your Head (1992) and Ill Communication (1994). This is the “So What’cha Want” music video from Check Your Head.

Here are some good songs that are in another language (other than English):

• “Der Kommissar” (Falco, Greatest Hits) German
• “Jardim” (Henri Salvadore, Room With A View) French
• “Girl From Ipanema” (Antonio Carlos Jobim, Finest Hour) Portuguese
• “El Clavo Y La Cruz” (The Plugz, Repo Man Sountrack) Spanish
• “Tour De France” (Kraftwerk, Tour de France Soundtracks) German

I really like the following bands, and at least one point, listened to each one a lot. But here are some songs they did that were very disappointing!

• The Cure “Friday I’m in Love”
• David Bowie “Bluejean”
• Nine Inch Nails “The Hand That Feeds”
• Smashing Pumpkins “1979″
• Duran Duran “Wild Boys”
• Tori Amos “Me and a Gun”
• Madonna “Cherish”
