I’m feeling some pressure to post something here, even though I have virtually nothing of value or interest to share. This has probly happened only a couple of times since I started blogging. That’s frightening to me. What if I wake up some day and REALLY don’t have ANYTHING to say???!!!
Speaking of [...]

Klaxons - It’s Not Over Yet - Official Music Video
I’ve been back and forth with this band, like some of their stuff, not all. But I’m really liking this video. And the song is growing on me. I do know one thing, these guys are way easy on the eyes [...]

I found a guy. I’m going just a little crazy over him. I’m not sure how I found him, maybe by the end of this post I’ll remember.
He’s a musician, and as I tend to do, I’m becoming obsessed with him. Or his music, rather, (although he is “my type.”
I [...]

John Mayer: Say (music video from The Bucket List)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Last Friday night PD and I invited friends in for pizza, beer and The Bucket List. We enjoyed all three immensely. I’d been looking forward to watching the movie for quite awhile and it’s been all rented out at the video store. I have [...]

AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT Sometime Around Midnight
Go directly to iTunes and download this song. Get addicted like I did. Only don’t cry like I did… It’s SAD.
***************************************************************************
And it starts…
sometime around midnight
or at least that’s when
you lose yourself
for a minute or two
As you stand…
under the barlights
and the band plays some song
about forgetting yourself for a [...]

Taking full advantage of a beautiful morning, waking up on the back porch with coffee and web-surfing capabilities. I’ve visited with 3 people online, two neighbors and one husband so far and didn’t have to even stand up. Called and scheduled two medical appointments and am going to call me mum here in [...]

The Honorary Title- Bridge and Tunnel
This is one of my very favorite songs by an underplayed band that deserves to be heard. Hope you like it. It’s not great quality, but the best I could find.
Going to bed now. Can’t wait to get this week over with.

Several months ago, I was engaging on one of my favorite pastimes which is cruising YouTube. I came across a video of a young man playing a piano. I clicked. I was mesmerized. I noticed he had about 30 other videos posted and I watched maybe 5 or 6 of them [...]

Having traveled to NY to see the kids this past weekend, there are a few things I’ve noticed and feel compelled to share with y’all. Some are personal, some are universal. Any offenses are purely coincidental and (of course) not intentional.
People who drive Dodges are the slowest drivers in the world. No. [...]

INTERESTING…
Looky what I found…
Russell Crowe singing One Good Year at the 2006 CMAA Awards. I’d heard he could sing and had a band (The Ordinary Fear of God.) I was pleasantly surprised. It’s from the movie One Good Year, which I have not seen.
Incidentally, You Tube loves me again. This import took less [...]

stereophonics - dakota
So this morning I come on and there’s two of these here… I think You Tube is trying to make up with me after that no-show.

Well, isn’t this just a fine How-dee-doo. I guess you are going to have to exercise your index fingers and go here to watch the video for my favorite song of the week. It seems You Tube is now part of the conspiracy to drive me nutz. Let me know how you [...]

I “ordered” a video from YouTube about a half an hour ago and it’s not here yet so you’re not watching it. In case it shows up, as it eventually will, before I get back here, its a band called Stereophonics. The song is Dakota and it’s This Week’s New Favorite Song for me. Enjoy [...]

The Replacements - When It Began
Earlier in the week we were talking about cartoons. I mentioned that a cartoon about the real Replacements would be pretty cool. I went through my video collection and thought this one would serve to give you an idea of just how cool.

Since I am not privileged enough to run with the Big Dogs over at the Peevery, I’m going to post my own miniature version of a Peeve here.
It has come to my attention that Disney has a new cartoon called The Replacements. If you know me well, you know that my very favorite band is [...]

Hi kids.
Not a lot of time to write but that works out because I don’t really have much to say. What a coincidence!
I just took PD to the video store and while he was getting movies I watched a video that I kinda liked. The band was Luna Halo and the song was [...]

I woke up in the middle of last night with a full-blown touch body-slam of the flu. All this time I’ve been trying to gain weight? Ha ha. Gone. That’s all I have to say about that.
I laid around all day with my new best friend, the down comforter. We bonded. [...]

Okay, so maybe I had the means to post while in NY but not the inclination. I was busy reading assorted books with Julian, having tea with Madeline and dancing with Drew. We had a really nice time with the JuJu’s despite the cold temperatures and the speed with which the weekend flew. It seemed [...]

I’ve hurriedly and haphazardly (how else do I do anything?) compiled my list of favorite music for the year. The songs are in no particular order and are not all current. Some are older songs that I’ve only just discovered this year. I’m constantly digging around for music and sometimes find it [...]

Everyone on the planet but me has evidently seen this commercial. But that is neither here nor there. What I want you to know is this:
