Kiss - Let's Put The X In Sex

Happy 30th Anniversary to the KISS album Smashes, Thrashes, & Hits. A compilation album featuring two new songs and then drummer Eric Carr singing Beth.

Sad Paul Stanley now hates this song. Not only catchy but great lyrics.

"Baby, Let's Put the X in Sex
Love's likes a muscle that you make me want to flex
Baby, Let's Put the X in Sex
Keep it undercover baby let me be your private eye"

That's poetry.

Forgot to post it yesterday but Happy 25th Anniversary to the UFC.

GoldenEye - Janus

Happy 23rd Anniversary to the James Bond film Goldeneye (also the name of Bond author Ian Fleming's Jamaica home). The first featuring Pierce Brosnan as 007. What better way to celebrate then with this clip. Before he was Ned Stark or Boromir, Sean Bean was awesome as Alec Trevelyan.

Can't believe yesterday was the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I. What a milestone.

Megaman 6 OST
