Mid-Week Ketchup

First of all, let's do a Songs From My Head segment since I've had this little ditty stuck in it most of the afternoon.

Whoa! Whole lotta sexy hot sweaty on that stage. No wonder it was stuck in my head for some odd reason!

Unrelated blog note: I'm taking down my swamp tree blog header for some maintenance. (Link provided for the benefit of the Guest who can't seem to remember from one day to the next -- or one year to the next -- what the previous one looked like!) Replacing it with the first ever collaborative header effort on this blog! A few days ago a friend of mine on Facebook offered to create one. That afternoon, Cody (aka =P) sent me his entry which was like three fabric swatches of different color and texture pieced together. Very calming and serene. Then I put the konagod finishing touches on it!

So much for the minimalist approach!

I chose to flash it up using two points of light to symbolize the two stunningly brilliant minds involved with it! :-)

(Hey, you know there's nothing low-key about me.)

Can't believe it's Wednesday evening already. txrad has been in high gear trying to get the fall garden ready. Seeds have been planted.

Exciting, huh? (Kinda looks like two grave sites!) Photo provided mainly for the benefit of Sherry P. who asked for one on txrad's Facebook page....as if there would be something to see! Give it 2 or 3 months and you will see Swiss chard and collard greens! YEAAAHHH!

Songs From My Head: "Band on the Run"

I don't know why this song in particular has been stuck in my heads for days now. I finally decided it was time to seek out a YouTube video since I don't own any Paul McCartney & Wings. I can't believe this came out when I was 16! Good grief.

Blog note: I'm not working this week and it is screwing with my perception of time. Everyday feels like a Saturday, and since I'm not chained to my desk, blog posts will be when the spirit moves me.

The Pop Song Chill Unit With Smoke

Fuck the shortened radio version of this one. Give me eight minutes or nothing. With video, please.

Question of the Day: What's your favorite song with a "cold" theme or feel?

2,000 5,000 Light Years From Home

When I read this story I immediately got the inevitable song stuck in my head.

Astronomers said Wednesday that they had found a miniature version of our own solar system 5,000 light-years across the galaxy — the first planetary system that really looks like our own, with outer giant planets and room for smaller inner planets.

“It looks like a scale model of our solar system,” said Scott Gaudi, an assistant professor of astronomy at Ohio State University.

Ferris Bueller, you're my hero.

About a week ago we watched Ferris Beuller's Day Off and I cannot get this fucking song out of my head.

Question of the Day (or Night, as the case may be):

What is your #1 song from a movie that when it gets stuck in your brain, it stays there?

Songs From My Head: XTC All of a Sudden

I've had this song stuck in my head, off and on, for weeks now.

I still remember when I bought the English Settlement vinyl LP in England back in the early 1980s. It was a two-disc set, and later I was surprised to see the American release was a scaled-down one-disc version. I used to hate how the American record labels had to fuck with things to appease the American palette.

Later, in the age of CDs, it was released with the full original collection of songs.

Happy Halloween!

A song from txrad's head this morning:

Songs From My Head

I find Christmas music rather annoying in December. When I have a song stuck in my head in May, well.... you can only imagine the frustration.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! This should clear out my head and get me primed for some tequila and beer.

Songs From My Head

I tried explaining to txrad yesterday about the perceived value in spending an extra $6.00 for a 750ml bottle of tequila vs. a 375ml bottle. It makes financial sense from a dollars per ounce basis, but rarely plays out as a "good deal" in the end. That is abundantly clear this morning.



TGIF. Pussy blog will be appearing late today. Work must come first.

Meanwhile, sing along, have fun. I'll be back.
