I can't stop listening to this

Into The Mystic - VAN MORRISON

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore to get your prescription filled

As anyone who cares already knows, this is a line from the Rolling Stones.

But why do they call it a drugstore? Wouldn't "chemist" be more idiomatic in their dialect?

Filing her nails while they're dragging the lake

I like version far better than the original:

Scissor Sisters vs. Beatles vs. George Michael vs. Aretha

I can't stop listening to this song

Take Your Mama - Scissor Sisters

Fingers and toes

Boots Or Hearts - The Tragically Hip

Posting this because a) it's running through my head, and b) I appear to be the first person on the recorded internet to come up with the idea that it should be used for line dancing. Might be sacrilege to say so, but it would totally work.

Things They Should Invent: internet karaoke server

Imagine if, instead of being isolated local units, all karaoke machines were hooked up to the internet. Then there's a central database of karaoke music (with paid subscriptions), with youtube-calibre bandwidth.

You could have, quite literally, all the songs in the world. That would make karaoke night interesting.

The perfect mash for this week's twitter trends

(Aside: why do the police at 2:20 have the word "POLICE" written on their shields in English instead of Farsi?)

Shamelessly yoinked from Antonia Z's twitter feed.

Sexy tune

Video is irrelevant, it's just the only way I could get a full embed.



I couldn't find a video of it being performed, but I picture the clapping/snapping/stomping rhythm section being performed as an intricate playground clapping game.

Mashup bunny: Dion vs. Dion

From the retro files, someone should mash up The Wanderer vs. Runaround Sue

If they wouldn't work as a mash, you could totally tweak the tempo (and the key if necessary) and combine them in an a capella or barbershop arrangment.

Current musical obsession

Midnight Special - Creedence Clearwater Revisited

Current musical obsession

I like the song better than the video, but the video is good too so I'm posting it.

Today needs some Hip

Grace, Too - The Tragically Hip

Rachmaninoff!

Moderato - Sergei Rachmaninoff

Today needs some Stones

Let It Bleed - The Rolling Stones

Jackson 5 vs. Kid Rock

I want You Back All Summer Long - Calmucho Presents Jackson 5 & Kid Rock

Today needs a techno/dance sort of remix of Dolly Parton

Jolene (Divide & Kreate remix) - Dolly Parton

Today needs REM singing with some Muppets

Blast from the past

Latest iTunes rediscovery:



1. Those girls got pipes! Not just vocally, but in their arms as well! I didn't know women did weight training in that era, like at all.

2. Looking at this song from an adult perspective (I first met it as a child and hadn't really re-thought it), it's totally for driving home the morning after what was originally intended to be a one night stand but may be something more. Yeah, sure, the lyrics are more innocent, but it's totally post-coital euphoria.

This is surprisingly perky for a song about adultery and murder

Wake Up Call - Maroon 5
