Don’t really know why, but this does make me giggle! The title on You Tube is “Project Make McCain Exciting: Gray Ambition”. Awesome.
Dear John … And John,
I was just watching Seinfeld on TBS and saw the latest Dunkin Donuts ad. What made you sell your song to them? I know you like coffee, but surely you think Dunkie’s coffee is overrated like I do. Don’t you? And besides, the donuts are dry and cakey and sit in your stomach like a rock.
Krispie Kreme may have been a better choice. Or if you really needed money, you coulda called me.
Blast from my musical past!
I’ve been grooving on a lot of early 80’s Boston, local music lately, like November Group, Face to Face, Adventure Set, Private Lightning, and this seminal Boston band, Berlin Airlift. Songwriter/leader Rick Berlin is a Boston institution, and you can still find him hanging out in Jamaica Plain. This song, “Over the Hill (I Love You)” and Berlin Airlift the band, was so important to this incipient fag when I was solidifying my identity. The songs were clearly coded and from the point of view of a gay man. What a find this video is!
I’ll never understand
… why this was cut from Bombay Dreams. (Originally Tumbld by Michael’s buddy Jonno.)
My Friend, the Rock Star!
Hey, remember just the other day I posted about my trip to San Francisco and meeting my new pal Chriso? Well I believe I also mentioned that he’s the drummer in a pretty nifty rock band, ex-boyfriends. Well take a peek at their brand-spanking new music video for the song, “Situation.” It’s damn cool, is incredibly professional, and I think it’s the first time a friend of mine has been featured in a music video!
A bit of trivia: the video shoot was done in the basement of the Armory Building in Mission District of San Francisco. I had the pleasure of seeing the space, and it’s pretty wild. There’s actually a river flowing through the basement!
