Pop-pop-squiggly-squiggly

Haven't thought about this song in years. Funny what one wakes up thinking about...

The (not so) great vent

ARRRGHUMPH!

This day is about over, right?

The great equalizer

Edward Woodward, best known stateside as the star of The Equalizer, died today at the age of 79. He also played the role of Police Sergeant Neil Howie in the original The Wicker Man, and Harry Morant in one of my favorite movies of all time, Breaker Morant.

So long.

Check, please

From BBC News:

Police in Russia have arrested three homeless men suspected of killing a man, eating part of the body and selling other parts to a kebab shop.

Not the anecdote I would like to leave on.

This Is Not A Love Song

Keith Levene's last stand with Public Image Limited. The video is for the single version, which was re-recorded with a new set of musicians for the This Is What You Want... This Is What You Get LP (1984).




B/W "This Is Not A Love Song"

Going home...

This afternoon I saw a fat guy wearing an orange shirt standing on the Bryant Irving bridge over the westbound side of I-30 waving an American flag in his left hand. Couldn't tell what he was exactly doing with his right, though (minds out of the gutter, please), so I proceeded to move out of the lane that was directly beneath him. Whatever floats your boat, eh?

A fiery brew

A bottle of beer that survived the Hinderburg crash (one of six to do so) is up for auction. From the Beeb.

Another round

What's new? Nothing. Still binging on Kate Bush's songs, from The Kick Inside to Aerial. Some people hit the bottle but I hit the play button.

I know. That was terrible.


The Sensual World (1989)


The Red Shoes (1993)


Aerial (2005)

Aural cravings

Tonight it's been Kate Bush. She's another musician I recall catching at an early age on MTV during the time Hounds of Love was making waves stateside. Some of her tunes were a bit too melodramatic for my taste, but regardless she is an immense talent.


The Kick Inside (1978)


Never for Ever (1980)


The Dreaming (1982)


Hounds of Love (1985)


Hounds of Love

Charged G.B.H.

Yes, they are a punk-by-the-numbers group with the mandatory leather and spikes to boot, but I do have a soft spot for them.

Fun but obscure fact: RGB worked on a cover version of this song back when it was just me, Ray Kadleck, and Bryan Michler.
