Our kids will have holograms
shooting from their eyes.

Oakland’s Finest
MC Hammer was
At once, the best and worst thing
To happen to rap

Hate to Break it to Ya
Just because you beat
“Guitar Hero” doesn’t mean
you can really play.

Considered but rejected
Just because you beat
"Guitar Hero" doesn¹t make
you Yoko Ono.

Go Bill, It's Your Birthday!
How I hope and pray
That they will, but today I
Am still just a bill...

Final Fantasy VII
With "One Winged Angel"
Uematsu got all geeks
Chanting "Sephiroth!"

English Gangster
Jay-Z tied Elvis
For most #1 albums
(Besides the Beatles)

Thanks to BitTorrent
Finding albums is easy
Now the single dies

Red Carpet Massacre

And Duran Duran just work

J-Popped
I never liked it,
Till I heard Yokko Kanno
On “Ghost in the Shell”

It’s Not Music, Except to My Ears
Old-Time Radio:
Drama, Suspense, Mystery.
It makes the time fly.
