  • Singing Along to Blondie and Realizing I Do Not Know the Words

    Every once in a while, I’ll hear an old Blondie song on the radio (OK, internet radio, friend humming it, etc.) and I’ll singing along.  And on these occasions I always remember that I do not actually know the words to most of the songs that Debbie Harry passionately sings.  It is on these occasions…

  • Sarah McLachlan Composing a Broadway-Aimed King Kong Musical

    If the following Broadway.com story is true I am terrified I’ll feel this intense need to adopt King Kong by the end of the show.  Click the story to redirect to the full article.  After posting this story to Facebook some friends and I had a little fun imagining the show with her current discography…

    Sarah Tracey: Sultry, Sexy, Songstress

    Just recently, I had the privilege of meeting Sarah Tracey and fell in love with her charming yet witty personality… not to mention her stunningly beautiful looks.

  • Theme Songs that Terrified Me as a Chld

    I’ve been busier than usual lately so I haven’t posted much, short of some Instagram moments here and there but I was listening to a podcast this morning and one of the panelists mentioned the theme to Unsolved Mysteries and it reminded me that, while I loved the show, the song itself terrified me! Something…

  • Musical Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious-Star Robert Sherman passed away at 86

  • Christmas Crud & Exploring Youtube (4 Things You Should Watch)

    I’ve had this horrible sinus/ear/throat infection for days now (herein after referred to as “the crud”) which means I’ve spent a majority of the last three days in bed or on the couch. It just struck me that it’s odd we don’t say “in couch” as we do “in bed”.  I suppose that’s because we…

  • Addie to the Rescue: Raising Awareness of Copyright Theft

    Addie Brownlee (Disclaimer: she’s a dear friend but I love and support her art regardless) is featured in a new PSA (see below) produced in partnership with MTV and carried out by the nonprofit National Crime Prevention Council, the folks who gave us McGruff the Crime Dog. The PSA is very revealing.  It puts to mind…

  • Shake Your Bon-Bon, shake your bon….bwhhaatt??
