1977: A Moderately Better Year For Music

(Same rules as the 1995 post below, just with slightly less sucky music) 1. Tonight’s The Night, Rod Stewart  (creepy video and I have trouble believing Rod Stewart was ever sexy) 2. I Just Want To Be Your Everything, Andy Gibb 3. Best Of My Love, Emotions 4. Love Theme From “A Star Is Born”, [...]

1995: A Pretty Crappy Year for Music

So, it’s nearly midnight KL time, I can’t sleep due to somebody’s coughing (actually, due to both Gene and my coughing together) and yet, I can’t shiv the cause of this insomnia. Since I can nap tomorrow and Gene can’t, here is a very interesting meme-whatchamacallit that I stole from another site: 1) Go to [...]

For the record, my degree is in print journalism, not TV journalism…

So I’m watching the coverage of Hurricane Gustav on CNN. Why do the anchors keep acting surprised when the journalists actually in New Orleans (where the winds are currently 100+ MPH, I think) are unable to be heard?? Geeeez. “Bob, if you can hear me, go inside!” and my favorite “Hey, can you go outside [...]

Whitedog’s big vacation…

So I’m sitting here at Cheesecake City International Airport n’ Bait Shop (motto: Now with more Starbucks!), once again lovin’ the free wi-fi. I’m supposed to do something of value, but I really only have eyes for my two square inches of the internet, so, there you go. My flight leaves in (oh geez) two [...]

…and exhale.

So, Gene is listening to an Ann Coulter book on the iPod and it’s getting a little tense. Eek! But now we are home and watching 30 Rock (starring Alec Baldwin) from Thursday and now, all is right in the world. That said, I did learn one interesting thing from the book. Apparently Barack Obama [...]

and now I loooove White Dog…

Ha ha HA Steve Jobs! I figured out a way around your nefarious plan to keep me from opening my MS Publisher files. Ha! (I installed Publisher on the Boy’s old laptop, converted the files to MS Word rich text files and saved them on our server. And then on the Mac I converted them [...]

aggggh

How did I not figure out there’s not a version of MS Publisher for the Mac? Fuckity. Granted, I never do anything brainy in Publisher (purely an ego thing) but the files don’t even open in Pages (the Mac version of Word). Crrrrrrap.

So as it turns out…

I am not missing a THING when it comes to not knowing anything about new music. I’ve had Sirius: Pulse (The 90s and Now!) on most of the afternoon. It seems to be the closest to the Sirius: Soccer Mom Music! channel I had hoped for (well, there’s one closer but it is only playing [...]

Remember me, I used to live for music…

Ugh. It’s happened. I’ve become one of THOSE people. Those people who have NO CLUE about who a current song is by. It used to be that I could name the artist, song title, album title and in some cases record label of every video on VH-1. But now I only know songs if they’ve [...]

Anybody know?

Does anyone know why I have Video Killed the Radio Star stuck in my head? And the worst part is that that is the part I have stuck in my head – an endless loop of “Video killed the radio star! Video killed the radio STAR!” (the second “star” is in caps because in my [...]
