Billy Idol Does a Christmas Album
There’s one headline I never thought I’d write, but it’s true…
Sure it’s not as popular as, say, St. Patrick’s Day… But where’s my parade and flimsy excuse for public drunkenness?
Huh? Thought so…
The seed was planted over Thanksgiving weekend, and in that short time from then till now it’s snowballed faster than a snowball hurting downhill gathering more snow as it goes. So it seems that in our apparent near future, we’ll be bidding adieu to Atlanta and c… C… Is there even a word that means hello that begins with C? Ahh… Cua nque’msaa (it’s Tataltepec Mexican, go look it up) to Charlotte, North Cackalacky.
Kevin Smith’s long ass iTunes playlist. Apple rejected it for having too long descriptions… A fine example being “Track: Cold Sweat (Live (1968/ Dallas Memorial Auditorium)) Artist: James Brown Album: Say It Live and Loud: Live in Dallas 08.26.68 - This is James Brown doing his best Eddie-Murphy-Doing-James-Brown impression nearly twenty years in advance of Eddie Murphy actually doing any James Brown impression. It’s one of the greatest live recordings of a single in history, and with a running time of twelve minutes and fifty one seconds, you’d be hard pressed to find a better bargain for ninety nine cents on iTunes. It’s like getting four songs for the price of one! If you act now, we’ll throw in a set of steak knives.”
Much like Maigh, I spent 5 days (give or take) away from the front of a computer and strangely I didn’t miss it one bit… And after last years long haul to Charlotte, this year it was decided it would be more local at Robyn’s parent’s home by Lake Sinclair.
Rupert Murdoch’s media companies have cancelled plans for a controversial book by OJ Simpson and televised interview with him. Common sense? From News Corp.? Who woulda thunk it…
I managed to get my hands on the new Beatles CD “Love” today, and It’s so good I need to share some of it’s fantastic compositions. Incase you’re wondering about the “new” Beatles CD, it’s from a collaboration with Cirque Du Soleil, who have a stage show set to music specially mixed by longtime Beatles producer George Martin and his son Giles… The result is an official Beatles mash-up CD as songs are mixed together seamlessly to create a whole new sound.
Hungary and Real Madrid legend Ferenc Puskás has died at the age of 79. Puskás led Hungary’s golden team of the early 1950s, before taking Spanish citizenship and becoming part of Real Madrid’s all-conquering team.
US Airways has made a $8bn offer to merge with rival Delta Air Lines, in a deal that would create one of the world’s largest airlines. Under the terms of the deal, both airlines would combine once Delta emerged from bankruptcy protection. I wonder how this will affect my SkyMiles…
