HEAR: The Romantics “What I Like About You”
I just neded to hear music with handclaps. Don’t hate.
HEAR: Golden Earring ‘Twilight Zone’
I have been listening to this at work this week and the song is still stuck in my head.
Incidentally, this song contains one of the greatest misunderstood lyrics of all time:
“…when the bullet hits the BONE…”
Not phone!
Hmm.
SEE: Nick Lowe on Letterman
I’m on this late-seventies/early eighties guitar/pop/rock kick today. The list is extensive.Donnie Iris, Golden Earring, Greg Kihn, Tommy Tutone, The Kings, The Romantics, and Dave Edmonds et al.
SEE: The Trailer for ‘Dark Night’
‘Just another vampire on the loose.’
Captivating images. You have my attention.
HEAR: Caro Diaro “Just Another Dreamer”
Sometimes you hear a song in a movie, TV show or trailer… and you need to hear more.
HEAR: Pete Yorn Covering Warren Zevon’s ‘Splendid Isolation’
It’s just that kind of day.
Loyal cover. Just enough of a spin to make it his own. Still a wonderful lonely rendition. Well done.
SEE: The Big Hair of the Eighties
You’ve heard the rumours. Those rumours are true. I remember it. I was there. Plus there is that hole in the ozone thanks to aerosal cans of AquaNet.

Hello James Kennedy (Middle!)
SEE: Trailer for Chips
Oh, I’m not sure what I think of this since I still have the slightly serious version of the 80s series stuck in my head. Dax Shepard is his usual over the top self but there’s nothing really wrong with that. But Michael Pena makes this… though it seems sort of the same character he played in Antman. So be it.
HEAR: Bronski Beat “Smalltown Boy”
Remembering the eighties. Simpler times… and harder times… all at the same time.
HEAR: Tin Machine “One Shot”
Tin Machine was a David Bowie experienment that was generally not loved by some people but one that I did like. The harder edge sound just proved to me that Bowie could do and sing it all. The man had the ability to be musically relaevant in ever era that he explored. He didn’t wait for chance to come to him. He chased opportunity and caught it and sang the $4@# out of it.
Blackstaris proof of that too.
SEE: Remembering David Bowie
Just looking for a little inspiration. Found it… thanks to Zen Pencils.
It seems hard to put yourself into uncomfortable suituations for the sake of moving forward and doing what you want. But is there any other way? I don’t think so.
There was a part of me, for the longerst time, that believed ‘it’ should be easy.
‘It?’
‘It’ is all the things you want and think you deserve because you think you are good at something. But just because you have talent, doesn’t give you the right to be entitled. And ‘easy’ is not part of that package.
So try. Do. (Yoda only had it partcially right. You need the ‘try’ and the ‘do.’) It won’t be easy. And that’s a good thing.

I’m finding that life needs to be as direct as possible now. No wasting time. Just get to it and say what needs to be said.

HEAR: Keifer Sutherland Sings!
I didn’t know he could sing. Still not sure. But I don’t hate this.
It’s sort of like if Tom Waits gave up trying.

Can Joey act vs Should Joey’s agent be fired…
SEE: DeForest Kelley
Sunday is clean up day around the house and at HSD. Time to go through the ol’ Tumblr draft folder.
When I find something I like, I shift it aside. Sadly, I sometimes forget that I did so.
Last week, for no particular reason, I got into a DeForest Kelley from Star Trek and every western movie shot in the 50s,60s, and 70skick. He seemed like a swell guy. See got yourself.
