With the recent campaign for IE 9 on YouTube and elsewhere, I found myself continually hitting “skip ad” until my twelve year old said, “Mom, have you heard the Internet Explorer song?” I said, “No, and I don’t really want to.” She said, “Oh, you’re wrong. You’re gonna love it. Listen!” As it played, I [...]
Break Time
Lots of stuff going on in my world, so I’m taking a break for the next week, or at least that’s the plan. Of course if something really interesting happens in RA Universe, I might pop in. But for now, consider me gone until May 1. When I return, there will be more snark, more [...]
Bret Won!
Okay, that title says it all! Bret McKenzie won the Oscar for Best Song! I knew my bet was good. :D This isn’t the winning song, but I like it anyway ’cause Bret is so loveable:
My Money’s on Bret
If you don’t know Bret McKenzie, hang around a bit. I’ve already talked about him here and here and obviously am doing it again. I have to since he’s nominated for an Academy Award for Best Song! Some interesting insight into New Zealand and the LOTR franchise, but I initially watched it because Bret’s a [...]
A Confession on Valentine’s
Imagine that. Isn’t that what Valentine’s is really about?! Of course it is! Every time February 14th rolls around most women I know start spilling their guts, and I must admit I feel the need to do it as well and drafted a post with great detail about my passion for SO, and how it’s [...]
Maybe It is Your Momma’s Opera
Would that be so bad? If your momma’s part of the Pink Floyd generation or if you are, maybe not. If you just don’t get opera, that’s okay. It does often take tenacity to study it simply because there aren’t enough opportunities to passively listen to it except occasionally in a movie or a commercial. [...]
Hold Up!
I was preparing my next post about Richard Armitage, and I stumbled on this: You don’t like Katy Perry? So what. This is a better version. His name is Alejandro Manzano, and he’s a member of the group Boyce Avenue with his two brothers Daniel and Fabian. They started posting covers on YouTube in 2006, [...]
At Last — Etta at Peace
One of my favorite performers died today. Etta James. Her tunes got under my skin when I was in second grade, and they’re still there. Even at that tender age, listening to her made me want to dig down inside myself and pull out whatever was in there and have it pour all over the [...]
Some Awesomeness
More Musicilove and no Richard Armitage again except I’ll bet he’s known some violinists. :D Found this below while surfing around for the last post about Vitamin String. Actually I found quite a few wonderful talents, but I have to highlight this guy: Isn’t YouTube something as well. Might give the notion that the web [...]
You Just Think You’re Not a Gaga Fan
No, this isn’t more about the perception of fans. This is another post in the series of Musicilove and not much related to Richard Armitage except a cello. Several years ago I stumbled onto Vitamin String Quartet. They are a group of musicians in Los Angeles who have done countless covers of classic rock artists. [...]
