In Music

Assorted news from my musical world:
1. Honky Tonk Heroes – A great story by Jimmy Patterson about the life of Waylon Jennings, and the “outlaw” movement forged by Waylon and Willie that “changed the course of country music and redefined everything about it from how it was made to where it was played.”
2. The Local Scene – [...]

Ranting and Raving At Its Best

Howard Beale (Network, 1976) shows us that sometimes anger – not laughter – is the best medicine. This is a great rant – articulate, cogent, and crazed all at once. It’s also remarkably applicable to now.

Butterflies in the Sky

Buzz Worthy Links

Here are a few links that I’ve come across over the past day or so that I’ve found amusing, informative or interesting and wanted to share

Middle-school student gets his head stuck in a chair (check out the photo on BuzzFeed.com) - Boys will be boys, I guess. This moment will most likely rank as one of [...]

Happy New Year! Favorite Posts of 2008

I can’t believe 2008 is already over! It was another crazy, but great, year. Work has been as busy as ever for us. Family and friends were getting married left and right and having babies. Our apartment almost burnt to the ground (well, sort of). I got ambushed and made over on a moving train [...]

Mario Kart Comes to Life

I am particularly fond of the Italian duo that millions call Mario and Luigi. They were never the greatest plumbers, but right along with them, I’ve jumped down my fair share of green pipes and on top of mushrooms. I’ve also slung my fair share of bananas out onto the open road.
If the world of Mario and Luigi [...]

Go Elf Yourself!

The Elf Yourself website is quite brilliant. When it first debuted as a promotional site from Office Max and JibJab.com, it was everywhere – it seemed like everyone and their brother had heard about the site. It was such a success that Jib Jab and Office Max still promote the site on their home pages around Christmas time. Today [...]

Print print, dig dig

Is it time for the government to stop printing money to throw in the Money Hole? You decide.

Ha Ha! Ha. Huh. Hmm. I’d be laughing harder if this wasn’t effectively true.
Oh, and to go along with this tongue-in-cheek video on bailouts, how about a tongue-in-cheek sentence of the day on the same subject: “The seepage [...]

One Little Piggy Went to Market….Another Beat Up a Lion

We all deal with a little B.S. every once and a while – at work, from friends and family, and even from everyday “Joe the Plumber’s” that we run into at the store or on the subway. Well, the next time someone tries to push you around, take advantage of you, or stands in your way, think [...]

Probably won’t be the hot toy for Christmas ‘08

Parents are outraged by this freaky looking doll that utters pro-Islam and satanic messages. People insist they can hear Fisher-Price’s “Little Mommy Real Loving Baby Cuddle and Coo” saying “Islam is the light” and “Satan is king.”
…don’t try pulling out the batteries….you’ll just makes it angrier

The Soup (not necessarily for the soul)

In the 90’s there was a little show on E! called Talk Soup, which in 2004 was ”re-mixed” into a much better show that we now know as The Soup. I can’t get enough of this 1/2 hour weekly show of utter hilarity during which host Joel McHale “reports” on the latest in pop culture news and [...]

Curb Your Enthusiasm will have a 7th Season!

I just found out about this - last month Larry David confirmed that there will be a 7th season of Curb Your Enthusiasm, and it will premier at the beginning of 2009!
It’s the funniest damn show on TV. We don’t get HBO anymore so I didn’t see any of season 6 when it first aired, but I got the Season [...]

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Trailer!

It seems like just yesterday that the first novel in JK Rowling’s wildly popular series of books, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, was released in 1997. I’ve read most of the books – working on the final installment, The Deathly Hallows (Year 7), now. Yes, I’m a slow reader…one of the reasons that I [...]

Christian the Lion = YouTube Star

In 1960, a baby lion was purchased by a couple of guys (John Rendall and Ace Berg) in a department store (yeah – I guess they sold lions at department stores back then). They named him Christian. For years they raised him as their pet, but when Christian got too big to care for, John and [...]

The Media Has a BAD Case of Obamania

Analogy – Media:Obama :: Lewinski:Clinton
Explanation: Last week I heard a primetime network news person declare, “Obamania is here to stay!” It’s not the first or last time such absurd media bias will show up on my TV screen. But anyway, what is this Obamania that’s evidently sweeping the nation? Well, let’s see, according to Webster’s:

Mania - (1) A form [...]

Willie and Wynton – Two Men with the Blues

Well, first of all, I think labels were invented to sell the music. You had to know what to call it before you could sell it. So they call it, the blues, jazz, bluegrass, gospel, or whatever. But, some music accomplishes it all…so what do you call that? And, that’s pretty much what I like to play.”  [...]

Summer Redneck Games – Next Weekend, Y’all!

When the Olympics were held in Atlanta 13 years ago, a local radio station from East Dublin, GA wanted to draw some of the Olympic crowds to their little town. What could they possibly do to accomplish this? Create the “Summer Redneck Games”, of course!
A week from today, on July 5th, the 13th Annual Summer Redneck [...]

Celtics Win, Despite Horrendous Officiating

‘Beat L.A., Beat L.A.!’ Celtics vs. Lakers in the NBA finals, it’s the match-up we’ve all been hoping for! These truly are the golden days in our region.
And yet, I still feel compelled to point out what was obvious to anyone who has been watching the NBA recently – the NBA has a major credibility problem with [...]

Once you are married, you officially have two mothers, so Mother’s Day was eventful this year. The more the merrier!
Fortunately, our mothers are not from New Jersey. You’ll see what I mean after watching the drag-mom video below from Clay Weiner. Thanks to AdRants for including the video in your newsletter today. I got a [...]

Researchers from Purdue University’s Vulcan Project have created the most detailed picture yet of human sources of carbon dioxide emissions in the U.S. There is an article on this featured in today’s Boston Globe. This video is a really interesting animation presenting the data – you can see the emission levels pulse as emissions increase during the day and [...]

YouTube.com – 2007 Video Awards

Every once and awhile you’ll stumble across a brilliant video on YouTube. Sometimes an ambitious director devised some wonderful visual concept and then carried it out in an elaborate production. Other times some shocking or hilarious person or event was captured on video by chance. 
The winners of the YouTube.com 2007 video awards are a mixture of both produced [...]

Tina and Beyonce – Proud Mary at the Grammy’s

The Grammy’s were on last night (if you haven’t already heard or, perhaps, live under a rock). Tina Turner and Beyonce’s performance of Proud Mary was absolutely FABULOUS!

Tina probably could have picked a better outfit (the silver body suit wasn’t extremely flattering for her), but I loved her hair and the overall performance from [...]
