American Idolatry — The Girls

Thursday, March 3rd, 2011

This is going to be Season of the Boys, cuz it’s slim pickins among the ladies.

The standouts were Bette-Midler Lauren, Southern-Blonde Lauren, and Pia Not-Zadora.

I would’ve included little Thia, but she let out two hugely flat important notes (and I’m shocked the judges completely ignored that).

I can see the finale being between the Tourette’s guy and the Seth-Rogen guy…or the Gospel-Doughboy guy.

American Idolatry

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011

This is a good season of American Idol…and if whoever is programming the background screen gets off the Charlie Sheen acid trip, I might even be able to watch as I listen.

Lots of the guys are good singers. Three are GREAT: James Durbin, Jacob Lusk, and Casey Abrams. Insanely talented.

And that’s all he wrote. For now.

Being Single in San Francisco

Saturday, January 1st, 2011

I am flirting with the idea of bloggily recording my dating and/or horizontal experiences since my arrival in San Francisco. I have thus far found it to be different from any other city in which I’ve lived. And I have a tentative title for this running opus:

Have a Very Mel Gibson Christmas

Sunday, December 19th, 2010

I know that Mr. Aussie Tirade is old news, at this point….however, the lovely Randy Rainbow has offered up a bit of holiday rant cheer just for us. And don’t miss the musical number starting at 1:55: (more…)

It Gets Better…The Musical

Tuesday, October 19th, 2010

I know, I know…anthems can be cheesy. So would it make me uncool if I admit that I got a chill the first time they went to the chorus, and I started crying outright the last time they went to the chorus? (more…)

New Music that’s Not Music

Tuesday, October 19th, 2010

You don’t need me to specify my position on this woman’s politics. But I’m not sure of my position of how music can emanate from this source. Damn creative, if nothing else. (more…)

Sing-A-Ma-Jigs.

Wednesday, October 13th, 2010

I’ve just discovered this haunted little set of plush toys that Mattel has put out, ostensibly to make our new crop of infants accustomed to the metallic orders of their eventual Robot Overlords. Or was that Dick Cheney?

In any event, my opinion of these toys devices things has strobed from “aww” to “eww,” and now I’m not sure how I feel. But I do like the droll quality of the following: (more…)

It is now clear what most videos have been lacking. Enjoy, after the jump: (more…)

Auto-Tune Finally Used for Good Instead of Evil

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

I don’t make it a big secret that I’m not a fan of Auto-tune…if you  can’t sing well enough without it, you don’t deserve to cut a record. Dude.

But here is a “remix” of that viral video of HungryBear9562 (or whatever his numbers are) going so emotional over a double rainbow. (more…)
