Thanks to the neverending supply of entertainment provided by YouTube, I ended up watching lots of George Harrison tonight, and forgot just how funny some of his solo stuff was. In addition to making some hilarious music videos, he also made appearances on SNL and various Monty Python programs, including this one: I’m not sureContinue reading “"don’t YOU want to play a pirate?"”

you haven’t heard the last of this
TRIVIA TIME: What do all these people have in common? ANSWER: They’re all playing at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 25th Anniversary Concert on October 29th, in Madison Square Garden. And why is this important? BECAUSE I’LL BE THERE. It’s official: Lauren and I bought our tickets at 6 AM this morning…we’re goingContinue reading “you haven’t heard the last of this”
Show People
Tonight I had the pleasure of going to the Silent Movie Theater in Hollywood with my friend Jon. It’s this awesome little place on Fairfax: one theater, totally old-fashioned, great food, live music, and silent movies, what could be better? We saw Show People, a 1928 Marion Davies film about the charms and vices ofContinue reading “Show People”
Hello lamppost…
Alright, I’m not afraid to admit it: my new obsession is Simon & Garfunkel (emphasis on the Simon). I spent much of last weekend watching The Concert in Central Park, rewinding and replaying, trying to figure out all the songs on guitar (if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that Paul Simon is alllll aboutContinue reading “Hello lamppost…”
Long live ROCK
Remember the windmill video I did a while back? For the Who Windmill Contest? Well the nerdiness paid off and I won 2nd place!! The best part is, second place gets ROCK BAND 2! I also won the new Maximum R&B Live DVD and a Who shirt!! Ahhhhhhhh I’m so happy, and all thanks toContinue reading “Long live ROCK”
silence has no sound!
This is silly, but I have to admit, I lol’d. Last weekend on the drive home, Katie asked how old Paul Simon was, and I guessed something along the lines of “sixty-five, because that’s about how old most of my favorite people are.” (He’s actually 67, in case you wanted to know.) Katie then laughedContinue reading “silence has no sound!”
STOP! and smell the roses
Wishing you all peace and love on Ringo Starr’s birthday! In my search for relevant Ringo/Beatles videos, I came across several that I had never seen before (trust me, it’s a rare occurrence). The first is a music video that features a lot of band…double win! Silly Ringo, I’m glad he never took himself tooContinue reading “STOP! and smell the roses”
it was late in the evening, and all the music’s seeping through
We listened to a lot of Simon and Garfunkel on the way back from San Francisco, and as a result I’ve had S&G tunes floating around in my head all day and have been attempting to learn The Boxer on guitar. Lauren and I were discussing our favorite Simon and Garfunkel songs and the firstContinue reading “it was late in the evening, and all the music’s seeping through”
