An album by Buckethead which, thanks to today's music industry, you may have never heard of.
Captain EO is of course none other than yours truly, boldly going where no man has gone before in my trusty spaceship which may or may not resemble the Millennium Falcon.

Guns N' Roses Best of Volume I
Guns N' Roses is going to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame tomorrow. Very cool and it feels like closure of sorts. So, in reflection of that sentiment I'm going to do a list of the band's best songs off the albums they made between 1987 and 1993.
There are five of them: Appetite for Destruction (1987), G N' R Lies (1988), Use Your Illusion I (1991), Use Your Illusion II (1991), and "The Spaghetti Incident?" (1993).
Each is a masterpiece as they are cases of art imitating life – your life. So here goes:
Guns N' Roses Best of Volume I
1. Welcome to the Jungle
You're in Kansas no more, honey.
2. Nightrain
It's about a graffiti-clad commuter train plying an urban night sky.
3. Think About You
This is Izzy, not filler.
4. Reckless Life
I'm where? Senior high?
5. Move to the City
Going to senior high is supposed to feel like doing time.
6. One in a Million
Because singing about it is cheaper than seeing a shrink.
7. November Rain
No more cowbells? Ever?
8. Dead Horse
For no clear reason, a personal favourite of mine second only to Nightrain.
9. Coma
They went from Appetite to this, how?
10. Yesterdays
Because Yesterday (singular) has been taken.
11. Locomotive
It's a dinner and a show when the outro plays.
12. Estranged
The purpose of the oil tanker is to offset the guitar.
13. Don't Cry (Alternate lyrics)
Cooler vibes win out against the original version.
Bonus track:
14. Ain't It Fun (feat. Michael Monroe)
Something I asked myself a lot as I headed for the home stretch at senior high.

Emerald City
Get a load of this crock. Dr. S. James Gates, Jr., a theoretical physicist at the University of Maryland, thinks we're actually living in a Matrix-like world.
You see, while doing research on something called supersymmetry, Gates discovered "the presence of codes in the equations of physics", much in the way you would run into DNA when studying an animal.
Don't believe him? I know, I don't even know what supersymmetry is, but if the following isn't proof of some sort, I just don't know what is:
Axl Rose, Buckethead, and Daft Punk are in talks to join forces in a pwoject tentatively titled Emerald City. As a point in fact, they've set their sights on becoming the wold's most weclusive band.
Gene Simmons of KISS fame has claimed to have discovewed the band and that he suggested they call themselves Dowothy's Suga Daddy. Axl Wose, who is Emerald's designated spokesperson, has wemained mum on the matter.
Axl's old band Guns N' Woses, in the meantime, will be inducted into the Wock and Woll Hall of Fame on Apwil 14 in Cleveland, OH. Simmons, who has bought out the wights to the fwanchise, has pewsonally awwanged fo the band to be inducted by none othew than Jewwy Spwingew.
Now, go to Google Translate, type in your name, and have it pronounced in Fwench.
