I got an email from one of my long lost college aces last week. While we tease him for his annual ‘I’m still alive’ messages; it was a nice reminder of college days swiftly passed, and my overall policy about friendship: unless we ended on extremely bad terms (which is honestly, not even 5 […]
I know your boy Justin Timberlake is hosting SNL this week and he’s got a hot record again so he’s in a nice spot to make another step up the ‘legend’ ladder. Justin is one of those handful of guys my hypercompetitive ass always keeps an eye on. Not that I could have (or […]
Me watching the end of that Lakers game… In other news, here’s your Song of the Day. We’re due for a song you may be surprised I know/like. All about the guitar riff for me here:
Being a film geek means over time I’ve met my fair share of like minded filmmakers. Being something of a music geek means I know my fair share of musicians. This is one of them. Her name is Lucy Malheur and she works in a genre close to my own heart: the Blues. […]
Back in business with this tune, which I think is close to perfect. Seriously, I’m bobbing my head pretty steady for 3 minutes, then he says, ‘To grab your neck! Until you let me know….’ Whoa! Hey! Hey Champ! We did good here, how about we stop talking and wrap this one up…
I was content to sit back and chuckle at the Onion for trying to make a joke (which is what they do for a living), and of the 10,000 possible angles they could have gone with, they chose the worst. What this week taught me more than anything was they don’t have any sistas […]
I’ve written this song into a script before, I think it’s really beautiful. I always chuckle when I see the way Lenny is standing in this video, but honestly, if I was trying to get Lisa Bonet back on my team, I may sing in falsetto and stand a little off kilter my damn […]
The mythology/story behind this song is pretty straightforward: John was only seeing the beginning of the massive heat he was going to take for leaving his wife for Yoko, so this song was a plea to his new wife, ‘Don’t Let Me Down’. Probably not in the top 20 of most anyone’s favorite Beatle […]
Once a week for these, I’ll try to give a detailed breakdown of a song I post. This one was easy since it’s a personal favorite… Got My Mind Made Up is hiding on ‘All Eyez on Me’, and it still plays as a great ‘one-upsmanship’ song between great rappers. This song should have been […]
Quickie Oscar review: Glad Life of Pi got as much love as it got. If you only have time for one Oscar film you haven’t seen yet, I highly suggest that one. Moving on, last week was an aberration: I had something new to write about everyday. Which comes naturally to me as a film geek […]
