Lessons In KISSology

Saturday October 21, 2006
Compare DVD prices Okay, kids, here's today's multiple choice pop quiz:

KISSology is defined as:
  1. The study of the activity commonly referred to as swapping spit

  2. Something parents wouldn't like if they knew their kids were involved with it

  3. A new gourmet coffee flavor

  4. Six hours of live KISS performances from the mid-70s on DVD
It seems everything with KISS has to be bigger, bolder, different from the rest. Other bands have fan clubs. KISS has an army. Other artists use a little makeup base when they perform. KISS travels with buckets of paint.

KISSology: Volume One 1974-1977 is a two-DVD set containing four full concerts that trace the band's evolution from glam/punk New York bar band to world-touring arena rock band. That's right, this is only Volume 1, the first of an eventual three. The remaining sets in the series are scheduled to be released in 2007.

You guys or Quicktime or Windows Media need to figure something out. When you put four links on your page and none of them work, there is a may be a problem. OK you could take a cue from my wife here and suggest that it has to be my fault, but since I have been to a conservative estimate of a 1000 pages with video feeds, something tells me it is not me.
