With this post’s title, you see how hard it is to capture a “lyric” as I usually do with Music Monday posts when the subject of the day is a Bobby McFerrin freeform vocal jazz improvisation in front of 50 000 people. I found this via Reddit’s Frisson sub-Reddit which is dedicated to those moments […]
Other than those opening lines about it being “cold, cold, cold” (today was +5), I think this is my theme song for the next couple weeks. Oh, and there’s also the line about “You’re caught up in the Internet/You think it’s such a great asset/But you’re wrong, wrong, wrong.” Not sure how much I’ll be […]
While Justin Bieber and especially Cee-Lo Brown were “interpreting” Beatles songs on New Year’s Eve for a TV audience of millions, three music legends – Steve Tyler, Alice Cooper and “Weird” Al Yankovic – teamed at a charity fundraiser in Maui to perform in front of a small crowd (filled entirely of people with camera […]

I don’t know how long it’s been around but Bagism.com is one of the first sites I visited regularly on the Internet back in the mid to late 1990’s. I haven’t thought of that site for years until thinking about a good way to capture today’s sad anniversary. I’m sure it’s not what John meant […]
I’m planning to post a month of Music Monday Xmas tunes, starting with this great atheist-themed Christmas song originally posted by my friend Cenobyte last year on Facebook or her blog (I don’t think I ended up posting it last year but if I did, it’s worth listening to again!)
Pretty cool video made with tens of thousands of jelly beans and a lot of stop-motion photography…
Maybe this should be a Music Monday post as it’d probably fit there too. There’s a new Tumblr blog written by a guy who realised his iTunes library had 10 000+ MP3’s almost perfectly equal to a month of music? He decided to put all of his music on shuffle for a straight month with […]
