random babble…

The Wonder Girls were on SYTYCD, so I hear, or see, since Angry Asian Man was so cool enough to post this video.

Love this song.

Enjoy!

I found my external hard drive!

Taking this idea from Natalia, I think we need some fluff today (because Mondays need more fluff than Fridays).

If you aren’t familiar w/ the “Random Ten” concept (and I am sure I don’t do it completely right), I think you just turn on your music app of choice, and blog the first ten songs that play. Easy as pie.

Mmm. Pie.

I also dedicate this MRT to Anna, who was having a crappy day, and to me, who was having a crappy week last week. I can do that, right? It is my blog, after all…

W/o further ado:

1. They Might Be Giants — Birdhouse In Your Soul
2. Alice Cooper — School’s Out
3. MC 몽 (Mong) — Lucky Man
4. Santana, Featuring Dido — Feels Like Fire
5. Flogging Molly — Seven Deadly Sins
6. Richie Ren — 看过来 (Kan Guo Lai)
7. The Who — Won’t Get Fooled Again
8. Gorillaz — Clint Eastwood
9. The Bangles — Eternal Flame
10. Smashing Pumpkins — Apples + Oranjes

Bonus, I happen to have the video and lyrics (in the pinyin Romanization) to the Richie Ren video, which is one of The Kid’s favorite songs ever: Read more…

Just picked The Kid up from the bus.  This has been on my mind since.  Enjoy!

Greetings from The Land of the Morning Calm!  안녕하세요!

While I am uploading almost 500 pictures from our trip, and trying to get all my dashboards and social network things back into English (all my adverts are in Korean also, but I find that amusing!), please enjoy this blast from the past, and my personal favorite En Vogue song EVAH!!1!!

The Darkness.

Don’t just pretend like you are going to watch these.

This is one fucking awesome rock video.

The movie Pleasantville was one of my favorite films the year it came out.  I have liked Jeff Daniels for a long time (or as Jax calls him, “Rich Uncle Jeff”.  He’s a good guy to the people of Chelsea, MI), and it is one of the first movies in which I remember seeing Reese Whitherspoon.

My favorite part was the ending montage and closing credits, which featured a (IMHO) wonderful remake of John Lennon’s “Across the Universe”, performed by Fiona Apple.  If I didn’t know better I would think that Lennon had written this song knowing somehow that she would do it some day, b/c she really does it beautifully.  I have yet to find it for download on iTunes, but someday I will.  This is by far one of my favorite Lennon songs (along w/ “Imagine”, which was the nursery theme I had when The Kid was born…too cute!).  

Enjoy.

“Across the Universe”, from the movie Pleasantville, as performed by Fiona Apple.

For The Kid.

I like this version way better than the one about following some man to the ends of the Earth.

Love this song.

I am totes obsessed w/ this band, Nightwish.

I blame David.

He is a total enabler.

“Amaranth” (which is my favorite):

I can’t remember if I’ve done this one b/f.

But…Sebastian Bach.

C’mon, I know there are some swooners out there.

He is way better w/ eyeliner than I am.
