MERRY XMAS!!!!!!!!!

I love this music: Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Elvis Presley, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Perry Como, and my absolute favorite Bing Crosby for Christmas music. Hey, Mom always says I was born in the wrong era. Damn straight! (she says, on a blog... ha ha ha)

Christmas Humor (Dad style)

LIZZO BREAKING NEWS!

Ummmm not that there was anything wrong at all with Lizzo's first version of the video for "Good as Hell" but she decided to release ANOTHER official video for this song....... TODAY! Marching band nerds unite! Where's my fist-raising emoji?! This is solid gold! ❤

I want this living room: Xmas edition

I just want to lay on that sofa in that midcentury modern living room with the fireplace and take a nap listening to Christmas music classics... some of the songs on this video I think had to be removed so there's some blank space to click through but it's a sweet playlist nonetheless. Cozy and nostalgic! Also where can I get a tree like that?

Sunday Funnies Part 2: December edition

Sunday Funnies

BIBLICAL

So I guess there's a running joke on any Oasis/Liam Gallagher video online that someone comments BIBLICAL all because that's how Liam described the Oasis documentary. Anyway, this series of Vogue questions with Liam was very unexpected but, well, BIBLICAL!

And a bonus video because I can't get enough of this song:

Get it, girl

New job feels

This appeals to my inner/outer music nerd

This interview with Steve Miller is awesome! Also here's a bonus link to him performing Fly Like an Eagle with the Roots band.

"I wonder if you take me home"

Meet our new friend, Lisa Lisa 😂🙋

Have you turned on the heat?

I haven't done it yet, but I was tempted to last night!

I'll always have a special place for you. . .

Boston bands for life

I still love this song... funny how you (and when I say you I mean I) can remember most of the lyrics to this song from the 1990s yet I couldn't tell you what I had for lunch last week. Middle age, man!

Somebody call 911!

And this is why we keep old mix CDs that don't have track listings! For surprises like this!

RIP Ric Ocasek

Damn it! I loved The Cars even though in the '80s I associated them with "Dad rock"! So hard just to pick a few favorites! So I picked Just what I needed ( ❤ those opening guitar riffs ❤), Magic, Since you're gone, You might think.

It doesn't matter where you've been as long as it was deep... yeah

Choppin' broccolaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy

There's a lady I know
If I didn't know her
She'd be the lady
I didn't know

This one has Melanie written all over it

This is so much fun, I don't recognize allllll the songs/dances and it's too bad they couldn't use the actual original music clips but it is still funny and awesome as fuck.

Cause Misdemeanor said so

Also, fun fact. The woman in yellow with the short hair bustin' a solo was in the original "Work It" video from 2002. She was the little one with the pigtails. Read more about it here:

More cancer/illness humor!

Beach v. Pool

2 weeks to Labor Day and I/we've been to the beach precisely one time, if Wollaston counts. The beach is always a good idea in theory but I'm taking the easy way out and going to the pool.

"This made me feel better"

Our mom often sends us music videos. This is the latest one. Doesn't it make YOU feel better too??

Actual Boston Music News

Well, it's news to me even though I'm several months behind the times: Adam12, former DJ at WFNX (rest in peace, still miss you), WBCN (rest in peace), RadioBDC (rest in peace), and then RadioBDC's newer incarnation called indie617 (still alive online), is back on the airwaves at 92.9FM (which I guess is still called WBOS? so confusing) in the afternoon. Also in news, I guess 92.9 now plays more alternative classic rock than WZLX, from what I've gathered? Not sure when that happened (92.9's morning show is terrible). Anyway, good job, sir. Welcome back, Kotter.

Me trying to stay awake this afternoon

Why Williamstown rocks the Berkshires

This.

Buffalo Tom/MSCL

I've been spending a LOT of time driving lately, which for me means re-discovering the joy of listening to a complete album and old, saved playlists. Yesterday's journey included Buffalo Tom, which of course will always remind me of Angela and Jordan, and other magical moments like this from My So-Called Life.

Humidity went down, yay!

Work it, girl!

I want to be like this when I'm 91! DAMN! Breaking records in her age group! How many 90somethings do you know who are this active? So inspirational and she's got a sense of humor too!

Ending this week like

Is Jamie Foxx in like every video from this era?

That's a French ass name

La danse de la maison de disco dance

I had no idea this guy is French. This song has been in my head for weeks. TROP DE SEMAINES!

Monday Motivation... to take a cat nap

Just gonna move your leg a little bit, sir.
YT recommended it to me. My brain recommended making a GIF. You're welcome!

make music GIFs like this at MakeaGif

So sick of the drone of the a/c! At least I have a/c...

That's what she said

"Good choice, ya got it."

"Jesus even picked up the bass for this one."

How I feel in the humidity

This is fine

Happy Friday. And scene 🎬

How I feel when I go in the ocean

Yup, but not as cute

1986 was 33 years ago

Falling down the mountain
End up kissing dirt
Look a little closer
Sometimes it wouldn't hurt

What's the most Swiss thing about you?

That I'm a chocoholic.

Do we have any orange juice left?

No, we're all out.

"When you eye contact him, you fall in love."

Curly little fluffball. Doggie mohawk. The sounds he makes while he's being rinsed off! How cute and pathetic he looks when he's all wet. He kept dozing off while he was being groomed. His name is BOBBY!
