And now. She's still got it. (And so does Carmen Electra)

I came across this surf video while looking for Hawaii videos. Good reggae from 1992. "Shark Attack" by the Wailing Souls.

Members here will know of my fondness for They Might be Giants (clicked my sig yet, baby?), and I'm not one to get in your face over my musical preferences (not since I became an adult at age 34, anyway), BUT...

It took me no time to love the following video. It's a cover of a song I had been ambivalent about for the last decade (Chumbawamba's "Tubthumping"; haters, don't hang up yet). The prevailing good moods of the two Johns (Linnell and Flansburg) are infectuous, and have turned a dour drinking song into the upbeat anthem it was meant to be.

See it here for completeness as part of the Undercover series at Onion's AV Club:

Or view in Youtube, without the Starbuck's ad, without the long load (the video is now "viral" and the Onion AV Club's server is apparently unable to keep up with demand). But the Youtube bounce unfortunately clipped off the first line of the song:

As the ukulele seems to be very popular these days, I thought I would post an arrangement of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody that I think is amazing:

I have to admit that I wasn't expecting much, but now I agree that it's pretty amazing.

I like how the audience was smiling, and then I realized that I was smiling too.

People are often surprised by the music that can be made with a ukulele- especially when hearing someone like Jake play. Ten years ago, as a guitar player, I would have probably smirked if someone mentioned playing the ukulele. I've been playing one for a couple of years now and it really does make me smile.

Was going to post Gary Numan's "metal" because of it's influence on electronic music but The Cars kicking Candy'O live is pretty sweet.



Here's Nightspots off of the Candy'O album (linked below to keep thread uncluttered) that features Hammer-on's and octaved notes slurred up and down the neck...live in 1978.

The octaved notes being dragged up and down the neck is the bread and butter of most all new hard pop bands today but you won't see it from anyone else but Tommy Iommi and a few select others back then.

On the 11th the early lead singer of The Grass Roots, Rob Grill, passed away at the age of 67. Here's one for some good rock and roll.

Mine too.

A stranger's light comes on slowly
A stranger's heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
And then it's smiles cover your heart

Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you

I think it's strange you never knew

Makes no sense whatsoever.

But then again, it does, if you stop, and don't think about it.

I've got it playing in the background (on yt). Don't think I've ever heard the long version before! Yep, it's depressing as hell.
