Annoying

Youtube headline reads "C6 acceleration" I'm thinking 'Hell Yes!!!! Can't wait to hear that monster pushed to the redline.' I then hear some horrible techno instead of the engine. Please fellow Youtubers, if you are posting a vid of your sweet a$$ hooptie lay off the music, any music. Allow the gloriousness of your motor to sound off.

P.S. please note the completely justifiable utterence made @ the 9 sec. mark.

video of the week

I have been known to experience earworms from time to time but this latest one is approaching 3 weeks in duration. Pretty much the most severe episode I have ever encountered. It started, innocently enough, while driving the family hauler, listening to the local radio station that promises "we'll play anything" to which I usually add, "as long as it sucks."
Anywho, it was beautiful early spring evening, sunny and warm, windows down sunroof open, wind in my bald, when I heard the synth intro. I recognized it immediately. Survivor with their not quite biggest hit, "High on You." Mullet driven, hard rock pop, ballad mid 80's hell/kitchy smarmy trash. Or MDHRPBM80'SH/KST for short.
That damn thing has been lodged inside my dome ever since, first thing in the morning, when I wake from sleep for that half wooden, half asleep trip to the bathroom. While running, while at work, while typing this crap.
I once, about 7 years ago had a horrible run of Billy Joel earworms, mostly "Uptown Girl," "Allentown," the song a bottle " a bottle of red..." whatever that is, and "Still Rock and Roll to me" But that now seems like a small creak compared to the mighty Mississippi that torment/entertains me day and night churning through my ears with line like, " I'm higher than a kite I know I'm getting hooked on your love." and "I'm screaming in the night I know I'm getting hooked on your love." and da Na na na Na na (wanker guitar hook)
So here it is, in all it's glory. Listen at your own peril, but please take note of the vidoes's high production value.

Survivor - High on You



Yes!!!. Is there a better example of mid 80's suck?? Yes, but I'm done typing for now. So bravely go forth and seek your own mid 80's suck, Im thinking The Outfield, the Hooter's or Rick Springfield...

Terrible Love - The National

Video of the Week

Corcovado - Astrud Gilberto/Stan Getz

As a rule I have tried to show only videos or live performances. I live for breaking the rules. The sax is just dead on and Gilberto's voice makes me realise why I have enjoyed stereolab for low theses many years.

I can't quit you blog

But I had to put you down for a little while.

You made me Realise - My Bloody Valentine

I think this is my first repeat video, too lazy to look it up though and confirm.

I did make a good point, and yes I was gushing.

Go ahead and get excited Posted by jfay March 8th, 2010, 7:31 pm

from John Fay's Reds blog for the Cincinnati Enquirer.

"My friend Dude called about 10 minutes after I came up from the field after talking to Dusty Baker.

He wanted to express his love and admiration for Aroldis Chapman. He was riding the buzz create as details of Chapman’s spring debut flowed over the web. I usually try to curb his enthusiasm a bit when he gets worked up about his beloved Reds.

But I didn’t this time.

After nine losing season and an absolutely abysmal record of developing starting pitchers, I say: Dream big, Reds fans.

Chapman is a 100 mph throwing left-handed starter. The list of those begins and ends with Randy Johnson.

I’m not saying Chapman is going to be Randy Johnson, but he has a chance to be great.

In the five times I’ve seen him throw, I’ve seen nothing but good things.

So, again: Dream big, Reds fans.

Dude, after he was through gushing, made a good point.

“Chapman takes the pressure off (Homer) Bailey and (Johnny) Cueto,” he said. “They’re in the background now. Maybe that’ll get a chip on their shoulder because he’s getting all the attention.” "

Here is a link and yes, it is an honor to be called Dude, he dropped that label on me long before, " The Big Lebowski " saw the silver screen.
