A number of years ago, some Men’s Magazine interviewed a bunch of stars about their five favorite albums, and this was on David Bowie’s list.
this fact is the most awesome fact.
You know David Bowie has also covered a couple of Jacques Brel songs, right?

ostrichridingcowboy replied to your post: Did Fun. start as a Queen cover band?
Not every sqeakyvoiced person in their twenties is a Queen cover band.
It’s as much about the songwriting and orchestration, which is so pastiche it could have been churned out by a computer program set to mimic queen, as it is about the singer.
I’ve been informed by friends who are far more up on...

strictlyalright:
Last night, I watched a local comedian do a set that offended me personally in a way that I haven’t felt in a long time (and it wasn’t Gavin McInnes!). From the moment he got onstage, it was bad news. Wearing “Asian eyebrows” and a traditional cheongsam dress (maybe it was a changshan, not like it matters), he proceeded to play a character whose entire bit revolved around...

I didn’t watch the 2nd half of the last season of Glee, but I’m watching this. He as an air of superiority and arrogance about him that I don’t like. Also, I could never be on the show (#don’t listen to the charts).
I also didn’t watch the second half of the last season of Glee… until...

A Musical Pet Peeve
I love when artists make an old song new with a fresh arrangement. I hate when other singers then cover the song using the arrangement that was so clearly written for (and often by) someone else. Streisand’s sax-heavy “Being Alive?” No one else needs to do that. Israel Kamakawiwo’ole’s “Over the Rainbow?” For sure no one else needs to sing the song that...

…Watching the Glee Project is likely to confirm your suspicions.

I think I'm getting rid of cable.
I barely ever watch TV, and yet I’m paying a ridiculous amount of money for a service that doesn’t even get me all the channels I might theoretically watch* if I had time to watch more. And the cable doesn’t extend to the tv in my bedroom where I watch most of my television (via Roku).
So I think I’m going to cancel cable and instead subscribe to Hulu Plus and Amazon Prime...

I got a fancy new HD webcam
So I’m tempted to make one of those awful self-indulgent video blog posts.
Have anything you’d like me to discuss in such a post?

Huh. I thought it was the worst. Except for Mary J. Could have watched her for 2 hours instead of everyone else.
I had the distinct impression that large chunks of Mary J’s part were left on the cutting room floor. Like that weird scene that starts with her ex being escorted out of the strip club by police?...

My boyfriend just put me on the phone (without warning) with his mother, whom I have never met, and who might have been tipsy at the time.

Are we reclaiming faggot? Or….no. I still hate it.
I think there’s a marked difference between reclaiming “faggot” (which, I do note, I used once this week on this blog, but it was in a way that emphasized its bite) and “faggotry” which is a beautifully descriptive word for a...
