Songs That Might Otherwise Pass You By, Part Two

***Note***This is the last song for the weekend (though technically it's Monday). I've been rearranging my books all day, and my arms hurt.

The Like like everything, but they seem awfully suspicious of that camera...

**Note** I'm tired today, so I'll probably wait until tomorrow to post more. I might only post one more tomorrow.

Marching Band's ambitious new project, "Dancing With Foxes". It is the sequel to the movie Dances With Wolves, though it does not have Kevin Costner. Just kidding. It does have Kevin Costner. Just kidding again. It has nothing to do with Kevin Costner. The artwork is done by Mia Makila

There is nothing unusual about this picture. Nothing strange at all.

I heard later in the show robots come out...and they fight other robots...and then a spaceman comes down from a spaceship and says he was lonely out in space all by himself. Oh wait. That last part's a David Bowie video.

One of my online friends, Tina, posted this. She said she heard it on Bones. I'm a little behind on my Bones watching, so I may not have seen the episode with this one on it yet.

Full Album Previews

AOL Spinner has the new album by Band of Horses for preview.

Band of Horses, Infinite Arms

I thought they had the new The National album, High Violet, but I can't find it. I'll keep looking!

They also have several older albums by my Duran Durans!! They're original self-titled album has apparently been re-issued! Squee! I'm a girl again.

In Sweden I think everyone is tilted at an angle like that. It has to do with the earth's axis, or something.

Blitzen Trapper get trapped performing in a prom sponsored by The Brady Bunch. I'm just sayin'...there are a lot of primary colors, and the lead singer and the tamborine player have a bit of a fro going...

Bettye LaVette, "All My Love" (MP3 courtesy of AOL Spinner)

This lady is great! Her voice is genuine--no artifice at all. Most modern R & B is so commercialized, and so closely guarded by the record label. Bettye's on -Anti, which is a very prominent independent label.

The Zombie Apocalypse is finally here! Everybody run! Where's my cat? Please don't eat my cat!

120 Minutes

Some girls remember staying up late to watch the Ms. America pageant. Some girls may have watched cooking shows until their eyes were too heavy to take in the creme pie they were being shown prepared.

Me? I wasn't one of those girls...(which explains why all of my food came in a box or a can until recently). I was the girl who fought with my parents to let me stay up until 2:00 in the morning every Sunday night/Monday morning.

Or, perhaps I should clarify. I was the girl who sat directly in from of the TV every Sunday night/Monday morning and put the volume down low in the *hopes* that my parents wouldn't notice the bright light spilling out from beneath my doorway.

Well, folks...my childhood was canceled many years ago, *but* through the miracle of archived internet video, we can watch it again.

I had found the...drumroll...Archived 120 Minutes and Subterranean page. Whoo hoo!

Unfortunately, I don't think it plays the actual show...I just clicked on one of the music videos and it took me to a Youtubed version of the video. I'm sure I can find footage of my man Dave Kendall somewhere...


This is the first video I clicked on from the page(though technically not from my childhood. Though I was still a child when I was 20). Yes, Siouxsie, we are the prettiest of all...


Okay, so this one actually came out when I was a child. I love Kate Bush! And dudes!!! Dawn French and Hugh Laurie are in it! I don't remember that! They were both in stuff I watched (The Young Ones, and in Dawn's case The Comic Strip), but I don't think I became aware of who they were until later in the 80's).
