One Hundredth Post!


Today marks the 100th post at Ropbop. When I first started this blog I wasn't really expecting it to grow into what it has. Not saying that it's blown up to epic proportions, but I am happy with the little growth spurt it has had in the last year. I want to thank each and every person who takes time out of their day to check it out. You reading this blog is what keeps me coming back to write more. So thanks for the motivation, the nice comments, and help. With that being said I think it's time to try and phase out a new stage of Ropbop. I would love it if anyone wants to join and write along with me. I can't pay you anything but if you want to do a guest post or write about your favorite songs every now and then, let me know. I'd love it. All you have to do is e-mail me at Ropbopblog@yahoo.com. I might be doing a podcast in the future as well. I guarantee it won't be super professional. That's pretty much it. I hate doing this but if you think someone might dig my blog please send them this way.

Conor's new one. It's pretty good. I miss old bright eyes though.
Bright Eyes - Shell Games

Any song about rock n roll, is welcome. I love the snotty lyrics.
Hunx and his Punx - U Don't Like Rock N Roll

Joel RL Phelps is the lead singer for 90's indie rock band Silkworm. That was back when indie was...
Joel R.L. Phelps And The Downer Trio - Be First

Listening to this song is what I imagine taking hallucinogenics in the desert while being at a cowboy party would sound like.
Grandchildren - Cold Warrior

Zorbing. This looks like it could be a lot of fun but also a stomach turning pukefest. Thankfully this song is not the later. In fact it's bloddy brilliant.
Stornoway - Zorbing

This is way better than watching a slide show of someones vacation. I think every time someone tells a story of their trip it should be backed by music.
Ghost Mice - England
