I was going to do reviews and blogs on entertainment on my other web site, OlderMusicGeek's Stupid Stuff at oldermusicgeek.blogspot.com, but I didn't want to bore people with my opinions and views, because everyone's opinions and views count. So I created this site for people who want to be bored with my take on different music, movies, books or whatever. Email me at OlderMusicGeek(at)yahoo(dot)com.

This is the first track "Eve Of The War" from "Jeff Wayne's Musical Version Of War Of The Worlds". It's a mouthful, but it's good stuff. This guy, Jeff Wayne - session musician and producer - got Justin Heyward of The Moody Blues, Philip Lynott the lead singer of Thin Lizzy, and somehow Richard Burton, and put out a very faithful - if truncated - musical version of the H.G. Wells novel.
The classic rock station in my home town played it for a couple years on Halloween when it came out in the 70s.
This is a fairly good sampling of some of the music I listen to. It's missing a few genres I like - such as cajun. I'll work on that later. But it does contain most of my favorite artists. I tried to steer away from the better known songs to give you a better idea of what kind of music the artists play, but I was limited by the songs the website - Project Playlist - had available. But if you want to get an idea of what I listen to, just hit the play or arrow button. - OlderMusicGeek
The internet station that does the best of playing my music is Last.fm. Here's my station if you're interested.
This website, OlderMusicGeek Radio on Pandora.com, does a fairly decent job of playing what I like, although they do occasionally play stuff I don't care for, but overall they're pretty good.
