Song of the Day! "I'm Your Man" by WHAM!



Ohman. This is still one of my favorite songs. I've seen George Michael three times in concert, the last was the summer of '08 for his "Farewell 25 Tour". Sure he was chub-chub and couldn't it all the high notes, but was still fantastic--and when he began this song, I was the dork calling her friends and family to hear it--particularly my son Alex who used to mime along with his friend Andrew--I know, how funny--to this song when he was in high school. Of course, their rendition was exaggerated and camp. Wait. So was the original.  

Alex SUCH an oddball; his iPod is full of Swedish death metal, along with Luther Vandross and WHAM! What the??

Anyway, you know you love "I'm Your Man" every bit as much as I do. So, DANCE!!

Rumor Has It - Trent Reznor got MARRIED TONIGHT? Song of the Day - "I'm Afraid of Americans" Trent Reznor with David Bowie


Mariqueen and Trent Reznor

I don't know if this is true or not, and I don't normally post big, fat rumors...BUT. There are a lot of whispers about my former crush, Trent Reznor marrying his fiancee Mariqueen Maandig.

Don't know where...don't know what. I'll keep you posted.

Sigh. I've seen Nine Inch Nails three times--the last time was just months prior to having major spinal surgery. (One surgeon went in through my abdomen, taking out all of my guts, then the neurosurgeon hammered (!) a space for the artificial disc to fit. This is was L1 S5, if I recall--my tailbone, in other words. It was completely bone on bone. Then the neurosurgeon attached everything with a metal plate and four screws, and the general surgeon plopped all my innerds back in and stapled me up!)

So the during that final Nine Inch Nails concert, I was in 4" stilettos STILL, making damn sure I had NO cartiledge left. Good times.

Just for fun, here's I'm Afraid of Americans by Trent and my beloved David Bowie.  



Trent? If it's true you are now married, congratulations. I think you've settled down a bit. 

Haven't we all.

Song of the Day - "Never" by Heart



Man, I love this song. I heard it SiriusXM 80's last night on the way home from Pilates and blasted--goosebumps, I tell ya.

These two chicks from Seattle are still awesome. I know some of y'all love the older stuff (Magic Man, Barracuda...), but I LOVE this one. I remember seeing this video and thinking, "WOW! Nancy's got some hoots!!" I know. I'm a dork. Oh, and Ann's voice. Girl can saaang...and they were (and still ARE) so gorgeous.


Sit back and feel 1985!!

Paolo Nutini is a Dollface - Song of the Day: "CANDY"


Official video for "Candy" - Paolo Nutini




And this clip from the Graham Norton Show is totally darling--he talks about his mom going to "rock 'n roll parties" and keeping him in check. Supercute.

I got to meet this darling, green-eyed Scottish-born Italian boy at The Showbox in Seattle. He smiled for my camera and signed my cd. Gosh. What a little goon I am...


 
"Bella Julia"...SWOOOON.

Paolo is constantly on tour, so if you have the opportunity, GO SEE HIM.

Song of the Day - TOTALLY Random




Oh, Donna Summer. Oh, Barry Manilow. Oh, Donna Summer singing the Barry Manilow song, "Could it be Magic". Oh, it is magic, bitches. I dare you to listen to this and not wish that you had this on a loop in your head.

Won't someone please re-work this gem and put it into the gay-tastic clubs down the street??

Patrick, this one's for you.

Song of the Freakin' DAY, Ya'll. This is serious!



Who here loves Stereophonics as much as I do (Annette??)? Here they are, doing a cover of my favorite Rolling Stones song...like EVER, "Gimme Shelter". I'm in love with Stereophonics. I stumbled across this cover and flipped my ever-lovin' WIG.

What do ya'll think??
