Workout Playlist

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

I could post a review of the movie we went to see for my birthday or a diatribe about something in the news that’s upsetting me, but I thought I’d go for the complete waste of internet bandwidth and share my current gym playlist. Harder Better Faster Daft Punk Major Tom Shiny Toy Guns Good [...]

Bride of Music Monday

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Yup, in the mood for another Music Monday post. I hadn’t forgotten about them altogether, just have not been listening to a lot of new music lately. The theme of this post is interesting cover versions of popular songs. Amanda Palmer (of the Dresden Dolls) covers “Such Great Heights” by the Postal Service. MP3 I [...]

Music Monday (It’s alive!)

Monday, February 16th, 2009

Okay, it’s been a few months since I posted a Music Monday column, and I’m not sure that I’ll be able to stay up with it, but a couple awesome songs came to my attention this week and I really wanted to share them. First up, Texas-born Matt Alber‘s “End of the World.” Alber’s voice [...]

Flashback to the Early 90s

Saturday, February 7th, 2009

I ran across this today while doing research for another project. I should wait to share it, but I can’t resist. I was a huge TMNT fan until 1991′s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze, which was so very, very bad that I pretty much lost interest in the entire franchise. [...]

If you pay me enough, I’ll sing these songs at a karaoke bar

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

Or if you get me drunk enough… I really haven’t done a lot of karaoke since college. Michael tried to get me on stage a few times in Salt Lake and Courtney and I hit a few bars in Vegas, but it never seemed as fun again. I think karaoke must be experienced with a [...]

4 chords

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

From Axis of Awesome. Someday, when I feel like I can sing on camera, I may demonstrate my version of this experiment where I sing all the different versions of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s only song “Don’t Cry for Me, I Don’t Know How Love Him so All I Ask of You is Close Every Door [...]

2008 in Review: Music

Monday, December 29th, 2008

So, based on various sorting and smart playlist filters on iTunes, I can put together a list of the songs and albums I apparently listened to the most in 2008. Albums, in no particular order: Xanadu (Original Broadway Cast) In The Heights (Original Broadway Cast) Young Frankenstein (Original Broadway Cast) Dreaming Wide Awake: The Music [...]

Just some random notes

Sunday, December 14th, 2008

Since I’m working 9 of the last 12 shopping days until Christmas (plus Boxing Day and the two days after it), I may be a bit light on the blogging though the new year. I’ll try to get to my end-of-year lists and resolutions, but there’s no guarantee. The roomies and I are going to [...]

Sugababes – No Can Do

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

Laura pointed this video out to me, thinking I might like it. I don’t hate it. Please add “scantily clad male models posing as furniture” to your holiday shopping list for me.

Theatre Review: [Title of Show]

Risking the danger of becoming a harcore [Tosser], I must tell you all to immediately sign the petition of get [Title of Show] on Ellen, check out YouTube’s The [Title of Show] show and [Tos]timonials, but most of all, you should go get thee hence to New York City and purchase tickets to [Title of [...]
