So. Is this good because it’s good or does its goodness, as I’m suspecting, come from it actually being kind of bad? Bad isn’t an insult, by the way. If it’s bad, it’s bad in the best possible way. I got a very nice laugh out of it and do not regret my use of …

You’d Better Not Make Him Number Forty-Seven
And now, it’s time for Carin and Steve have mind beams part…um…I suppose “FORTY-FIVE!” I was just out in the kitchen washing dishes and listening to a podcast completely unrelated to music or politics or anything that would make me think about Donald Trump or Randy Rainbow when I suddenly thought to myself, I wonder …

Hotel Little Wing
Another YouTube suggestion. Laszlo Buring, who brought us Dire Straits doing Riders on the Storm, plays “Hotel California” if it had been covered by Stevie Ray Vaughan. So there’s a couple of influences here, the most obvious one being SRV’s version of Little Wing. Then there’s some parts that a reminiscent of Riviera Paradise, and …
Stop And Bust A Move
I was rather amused by this when YouTube threw it at me over the weekend. Since it still sounds pretty good after 0 beers on a normal day, here you go. If there’s a mashup artist out there as consistently good as Bill McClintock, I don’t know who it is. Music used in this mashup: …
Music Playing Kid: Caleb Hayes, Eight-Year-Old Drummer
I’m sure I’ve said it before when I’ve posted one of these but it’s probably worth saying again. If I were eight and my favourite band said to me “Steve, come on up here and play a song with us”, I’d probably have lost my shit and totally screwed it up. but I’m not Caleb …

Sultans Of Storm
Laszlo Buring gets the originality points today. “Riders on the Storm” has never been one of my favourite songs, but I quite like “Sultans of Swing”, so this works for me. Riders on the Storm, if it were written by Dire Straits. Went with a Lady Writer/Sultans of Swing kind of approach for this one, …
Slam Bam Indeed
Not exactly a Kiss This Guy moment since I know full well what Neal McCoy is saying here, but do not even try to convince me that you don’t hear “wank” every time he says “wink”. I’ve been hearing it that way since 1994.
This Should Be Funny, But I’m Crying
Because it’s still New Year’s Day, I thought I’d make fun of myself because there are certain Christmas comedy bits that no matter how many times I hear them, they still make me cry. Not laugh until I cry, just straight up cry. Here they are, in no particular order. First, there’s what would happen …
A Lovely Version Of Silent Night
There will be no heavenly, peaceful sleeping today. Not on my watch. We must sing! This may be the best music playing kid yet.
All I Want For Christmas Is Words, Goats And A Chicken
I’ll be honest here. The last little while, I’ve been having a hell of a time with the part of my brain that comes up with thoughts and words and then turns them into blog posts. I don’t exactly know why and I doubt I ever will, but it’s happening and it’s frustrating. Perhaps the …
