Carl Posted December 31, 2012 Report Posted December 31, 2012 "Spill The Wine" is in the Top-10 today, possibly because it's being used in those Cougar Town promos on TBS. I'll never watch the show and don't understand why people drinking wine is funny, but very glad that our buddy Harold Brown (drummer for War) and the other original band members will get a fatter royalty check.
Brad_M Posted January 1, 2013 Report Posted January 1, 2013 ...I'll never watch the show and don't understand why people drinking wine is funny... Maybe this visual interlude will explain why people drinking wine is funny, Carl.
Carl Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 OK, that is funny. Another random music thought: Was watching Ryan Seacrest's Rockin' New Year's Eve, and PSY finally reached the breaking point with "Gangnam Style" where even he is clearly sick of the song. What's remarkable about this fad is how is ended so succinctly as the calendar flipped to 2013. This thing is over. There is nobody who needs to hear that song or any variation thereof until it bubbles up again as nostalgia.
miamisammy29 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Posted January 3, 2013 ...and somebody call Animal Control. They need to put that Pitbull to sleep.
Carl Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 Apparently, New York City did not have a country radio station until last week. I get that NYC isn't the cowboy crowd, buy you would think that in a city that size, there would be enough Tim McGraw fans to support a station.
Carl Posted February 8, 2013 Report Posted February 8, 2013 Unless you count the "One Love/People Get Ready" (Marley/Mayfield) medley performed by the Cast of Glee, there has never been a Hot 100 hit titled "One Love." These come close: One Love, One Heart Only One Love One Love In My Lifetime Only One Love In My Life Unfaithfully Yours (One Love) One Lover At A Time
Carl Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 Perhaps the two biggest female singing stars of the '80s were also emaciatingly skinny: Diana Ross and Olivia Newton-John. If The Supremes were around today, Ross would be "the skinny one," akin to Michelle Williams in Destiny's Child.
Brad_M Posted March 9, 2013 Report Posted March 9, 2013 I think Madonna would take the title of the biggest female singing star of the 80's, hands down. Diana and Olivia would be in my Top 4, along with Whitney Houston.
Carl Posted March 9, 2013 Report Posted March 9, 2013 How about "biggest female singing stars of 1981" - the mid-'80s were still pretty waify (See: Whitney Houston), but Madonna went against that trend.
TheLizard Posted March 19, 2013 Report Posted March 19, 2013 So I've been in kind of a Weird Al mood today and I learned that Ray Manzarek actually played on the Doors-pastiche "Craigslist". How cool is that?
Shawna Posted March 23, 2013 Report Posted March 23, 2013 Yay! I'd love to hear someone say that name for me so I'd know how to pronounce it!
TheLizard Posted March 23, 2013 Report Posted March 23, 2013 Here you go! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2d/Sigur_ros.ogg
Shawna Posted March 23, 2013 Report Posted March 23, 2013 ha! sounds like an inebriated, slightly less baritone Sean Connery saying, "Cigarettes."
TheLizard Posted March 23, 2013 Report Posted March 23, 2013 I think you mean a more inebriated Sean Connery. I just assume Sean Connery exists at a constant baseline of inebriation.
Carl Posted March 24, 2013 Report Posted March 24, 2013 Just realized that J. Geils is no longer in The J. Geils Band.
MindCrime Posted April 13, 2013 Report Posted April 13, 2013 Cyndi Lauper's She Bop is the #1 song on the SF Daily Top 10 How the hell did this happen?
TheLizard Posted May 15, 2013 Report Posted May 15, 2013 Today I learned that The Rivieras - of "California Sun" fame - were from South Bend, Indiana. If there is any place in the country that is the opposite of California Sun, it's South Bend, Indiana.
Rayzor Posted May 16, 2013 Report Posted May 16, 2013 It's always sunny in Winnipeg... believe it or not
pinkstones Posted May 16, 2013 Report Posted May 16, 2013 I'm hoping Goldfrapp puts a new album out soon. Their last album was amazing.
TheLizard Posted May 16, 2013 Report Posted May 16, 2013 According to wikipedia, they have an album coming out later this year.
pinkstones Posted May 16, 2013 Report Posted May 16, 2013 WOO-HOO! They haven't put a crap album out yet, so I expect this one to be just as good.
Carl Posted June 17, 2013 Report Posted June 17, 2013 Just realized that in these lyrics from "Stoned Soul Picnic": Red yellow honey Sassafras and moonshine The "moonshine" is probably the light of the moon, not bootlegged alcohol. It changes my mental picture considerably.
