Music Video: Tea Party by Kerli

The music video of Kerli’s contribution to the Alice of Wonderland sountrack, Almost Alice, is finally released! The single’s name is Tea Party and the video incorporates some elements that were used in the Alice of Wonderland franchise. I did like the video very much. Kerli simply looked fantastic wearing those wardrobes resembling characters from [...]

Glorious: Kim Yu-Na’s Gold in Vancouver; Lionel Loueke and Angelique Kidjo’s Performance on “Ami O”

When Kim Yu-Na, the Korean “rock star” figure skater, neared the end of her gold-winning performance in Vancouver, commentator Sandra Bezic declared, “This is glorious… one of the greatest Olympic performances I have ever seen.”
I felt a similar sense of WTF when I first heard the song, “Ami O,” on jazz guitarist Lionel Loueke’s new [...]

An Appeal to GCHS Classmates

Dear Classmates: Just as those slick cars we grew up with and drove back in our high school days are now classics, we too, are becoming vintage!
A few of those mid ‘50s Corvettes have been meticulously cared for or restored, but many more are in need of an engine rebuild, parts replacements, or a down [...]

FUN for WOMEN….LAUGH with DORAZ*

A man is dating three women and wants to decide which to marry.
He decides to give them a test. He gave each woman a present of $5,000 and watches to see what each did with the money.
The first does a total make over. She goes to a fancy beauty salon, gets her hair done, new [...]

Day 12: Great food and great service!

Ediets.com continues to be more and more impressive. If you’ve seen some of my comments on my posts you might have noticed some from two people from the company. Amazing. Today, one of the women from ediets who has been talking to me, Cathy, sent me a wonderful email letting me know, among other things, [...]

My New Food, Inc. Manifesto

It was nearly a month ago that my wife and I watched the movie Food, Inc. . It was one of the funniest comedies I’ve seen in years!
OK, let’s get serious. This film has really stuck with me. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about it. Now, I’m not going to get [...]

Day 67: Nutrition data on LoseIt app

I learned something new this week. The LoseIt iPhone app that I use to track the food I eat, also has a feature that allows me to see what total percentage of that day’s (or that week’s) food is fat, carbs and protein. (I never noticed this feature before until now). In addition, the total cholesterol [...]

Hologram Jams

Jaguar Love Hologram Jams
“AWW LISTEN TO MY HEAR SLAM IT”S A HOLOGRAM JAM!”
That, a line from “Cherry Soda”, comes really goddamn close to summing up the entire album. In fact, another line from the same song (“Sugar-coated cherry soda pukin’ on the lawn/it’s six A.M. the party’s over everybody’s gone) basically provides the rest of [...]

Bat for Lashes – Two Suns [2009]

Album post #29. Two Suns by Bat for Lashes.  I grew up listening to a lot of the mainstream Celtic music that you would see on PBS (Three Irish Tenors, Riverdance, Celtic Women, etc.).  Kind of dorky, but I bet everyone besides my buddy Fink wants to play a Bodhran.
Bat for Lashes isn’t quite Celtic, [...]
