Friday Geek Out: Foreigner “That Was Yesterday”
Agent Provocateur album (yes, my first version of this was vinyl, not a CD). I got into the band a few years before when 4 came out back in ‘81. It was hard to not get into the hits on that album with “Urgent” and “Juke Box Hero.”
Agent Provocateur’s first single was the instant classic [...]
A Little iPod Magic
Category: Music, Theatre | tagged Bare: A Pop Opera, Spring Awakening
As I’ve written before, I tend to leave my iPod on shuffle, a rotation of 800+ songs that takes me a few weeks to get through. I have an odd policy of iPod maintenance. I need to get through the entire cycle before I sync the iPod over again to add or subtract songs. Yes, [...]

What ever happened to Irene Cara?
“Fame” was the first 45 I ever bought. I’ve never seen this clip before (the “applause” makes me think it came from an appearance on an early 80’s variety show) but I think it has become my new most favorite thing EVER!
Isn’t she the cutest thing jumping around in her genuine imitation Cher/Bob Mackie “Half [...]

New Horizon
I heard this wonderfully cheesy dance remix of the St Elmo’s theme at the gym today. Coincidentally, it’s Rob Lowe’s birthday today… he’s 44!

Get Your Dance On!
Dancing with the Stars is back tonight and I am, of course, oh so happy. To celebrate, it’s time to bring this great video back to the top of the blog. Yes, it’s rated R becuase because “F**k” is part of the title, but it’s too good to pass up!

Get the weekend started
How utterly remiss of me! I only just now discovered that Shirley Bassey has a new album out! Below is the video for her new single in which she puts her very distinctive vocal stamp on a popular pop tune. I guarantee you, you’ll never think of Pink the same way again.

Friday Geek Out: Night Tracks
Even though MTV premiered in 1981, we didn’t have it on our local cable system in Tuscaloosa, Alabama until the summer of 1986 (the same summer I graduated high school). My diet of music videos came primarily from Night Tracks on TBS during videos’ early years.
Night Tracks was six hours of videos on Friday and [...]
Idina Menzel’s I Stand
We love Idina Menzel! We became fans when we saw her in the original company of Rent, where she played Maureen (she played the same role in the film). We saw her a couple years later when she took over the role of Amneris in Aida. Most recently we saw her in her Tony winning [...]

A Look Into Our iTunes World
Category: Music | tagged Audra McDonald, High School Musical, madonna
On a whim I took a look at the button on our iTunes console that said “Top 25 Most Played” just to see what was there. We’ve been using iTunes for a couple years now and this combines the statistics from what’s played on our iPods plus what is played through the console itself. I [...]

Nostalgia Moment: Mix Tapes…
Category: Music |
I’ve been pondering mix tapes over the past couple weeks thanks to a two different events. First, in Barnes & Noble two weeks ago I happened on a book called Love Is a Mix Tape: Life and Loss, One Song at a Time by Rob Sheffield. The memoir chronicles the courtship, [...]
