I always look forward to the latest installment of Santastic, the mash-up album of holiday songs, mixed by some of the top DJs in the world. This year’s iteration, Santastic V: Snow, Man!, is full of fun stuff. I’m especially fond of this mash-up of “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and The Police’s “Roxanne” – enjoy!
This morning featured a rather dramatic entry for winter: high winds, heavy rain, and a dramatic drop in temperature over the course of 30 minutes. Good times. And here are ten songs that randomly popped up in iTunes this morning (per the usual rules: take the first ten songs that play in your music player, …
Seriously, that the Committee of 100 has influence on DC politics is frightening. They wield power over old-school DC politicians in a way that drags the District and its citizens down by the balls, advocating governmental moves that would hurt the city and its potential for future growth and livability. Here’s how they describe themselves: …
The usual rules apply, though it’s awfully windy outside. “Run For Your Life” – The Beatles (from Rubber Soul) “Christians I Hate ‘Em” – Mojo Nixon (from Whiskey Rebellion) “Hung Up On Soul” – Death Cab For Maddy (from Mashups by Party Ben) “Bitch” – The Rolling Stones (from Get Your Leeds Lungs Out! Revisited) …
… that John Winston Lennon found his way into the world. (Note: this was supposed to auto-publish on Saturday, October 9. Alas, I didn’t queue it properly, so…. here you go!) And it’s almost 30 years since he was removed from it by a selfish, disturbed, psychotic man. But I’d rather look back on his …
The past ten days have been very sad ones for me. First came the death of my old friend, Sutton (whose memorial service was perfect, save for an organist whose phrasing was suspect, at best). Then came the shocking death of my cyclist friend, Neal, from a high-speed bike crash. So I’ve been listening to …
A good friend from my old RHSM days died over the weekend. He was slightly more than a month away from his 39th birthday. Sutton was a wonderful person. I’d known him since we were both young kids at RHSM, and since he was always a grade ahead of me he held the enigma of …
That’s what was yelled at me as I sat at a traffic light near Union Station last Friday. I’d just dropped off sprite an an hour too early for either of us. Our car bears only one bumper sticker: a circa 2004 “Dean for America” badge. And one recently-arrived member of Glenn Beck’s idiot zombie …
Carole is quite good at provoking lists on Tuesdays, and this week’s focus is 10 Things You Wish You Had Known When You Started College. Without any further dawdling (and yes, there is a cycling post in the works – I’ve just been busy with work and life, of late)….. Life is too short for …
As I finish another post about (what else) cycling, I offer these random ten tunes from the music library. The standard rules apply: Hit shuffle on your favorite music player and record unedited the first ten songs it opts to play. “Big Boys Bickering” – Paul McCartney (from the Hope For Deliverance single) “Coffee, Soho” …
