Music Meme - Day 17

Day 17. A song that you hear often on the radio

I don't listen to terrestrial the radio at all. Not a peep.
And when I listen to satellite radio, I almost exclusively listen to The Frank Decaro Show and The Howard Stern Show.

The theme for the Howard Stern Show is a very rare collaboration between Rob Zombie and Howard Stern called The Great American Nightmare. It was recorded for the movie Private Parts.

Funny-ish story. Last March, I drove up (by myself) to L.A. to see a Frank Black Show at the Echoplex. It was an unbelievably entertaining show, but around 1am (At this point, Frank Black, Joey Santiago, David Lovering and FLEA were on stage!), I had to bail. I knew the drive home was going to be brutal.

At 3am, I was almost home, and I knew that the Howard Stern Show started then (6am Eastern), so I switched it on. I was completely delirious from being up late, excited about being home and giddy about hearing Stern in real-time. I remember SCREAMING this theme song as loud as I could. Especially the part towards the beginning that goes, "Yeaaah, Muthufucka!"

My name is Mike, and I'm a toy collector.

I used to work at Toys R Us. It was a pretty awesome job. I met some of my best friends of all time there (including my Mark) and I totally got in to collecting toys.

In an effort to veer away from being a complete hoarder, I've almost entirely stopped buying toys. But, I'm still all about Star Wars "guys". I usually buy them, OPEN UP THE PACKAGE, set them up at my desk at work, then eventually throw them in a box in the garage.

Then there are these niche Star Wars figures, available only at Disneyland/Disneyworld (and perhaps njbearcub1's shop), that are Disney characters dressed up as Star Wars characters. I know, they are lame, but I like em'!

Just saw these today and got really excited:

MUST. HAVE.
