I haven’t worn cologne since I was a teenager, but I might reconsider. There’s a new set of fragrances coming soon that are sure to be “winners”. An East coast company called Epic Scents is making new signature smells based on video games.
Holy Pac Man!
I’m not sure what a video game character really smells like, but they’re going to give it a try. Actually, the company is starting out by introducing air fresheners first. The creators also stress it’s not what the character smells like, but what smell expresses him.
The first character who will receive a smell is Mega Man from the old 1987 NES game. I’m personally not too familiar with that character, but I can think of some others.
The monkey from Donkey Kong. His smell could be a mix of his own feces and maybe a rubber tire.
Space Invader alien. Have you ever been stuck sitting in a crowded airplane waiting on the tarmac for hours? That would be the perfect smell for an alien who has traveled millions of light years to invade earth.
Prostitutes from Grand Theft Auto. Let’s get into the modern era of video games. This “lovely” lady probably smells like spray-on tan, cigarettes, chewing gum and a Pabst beer.
Good luck to Epic Scents. I think they’ll do okay as long as they don’t capture the smell of all those people who spend more time playing video game then on personal hygiene.
Madison's summer music festival season kicks off this weekend with Brat Fest at Willow Island, where there are more bands than you can shake a bratwurst at! Check out the Brat Fest website to plan your itinerary.
Next up is the Marquette...
John Fogerty is making the talk show rounds this week, stopping in to see David Letterman Tuesday and Wednesday, and the ladies of "The View" on Thursday.
He's promoting his new album, "Wrote a Song For Everyone" which comes out next Tuesday...
It's a miracle that both Jonathan and KItty wanted to hear Barry Manilow this morning. They were not alone. Plenty of Fanilow's called in to vote yes. One caller claimed to have seen Manilow in concert 25 times!
The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, it is another gorgeous Monday, fit for another great show at the Crystal Corner tonight.
Through locking ourselves in the barn on Irish Lane, tossing some ideas around, as well as a few choice beverages to...
Hey everybody, we were thrown for a loop by the twist this week, but were able to make one of our "oldie but a goldie" songs fit the mold.
We have a few songs that we have played consistently over the years, and we are very happy that we will be...
We just received word of what this weeks twist is, and...oh boy. We need to take our "signature song" and cut it to only 2:30 without going over. Amberstein does not simply play 2:30 versions of our songs...so this could be interesting.
Last...
In 1984, Rockwell rose to number 2 for 3 weeks in 1984 with "Somebody's Watching Me." The backup singer for the song was Michael Jackson. How did Rockwell get Jackson to help him? Well, Rockwell's real name is Kennedy William Gordy and he...
Have you heard the song "Rumble and Sway" yet on Triple M?
The singer sounds like a raspy blues dude who's definitely been around the block a few times....but surprisingly, Jamie N. Commons is only 23 years old!
He was born in England, but...
