I have something very unexpectedly in common with Rachael Ray. From her AVClub interview (my italics):
*******
AVC: What’s your favorite recent memory from one of those parties?
RR: You know, everybody that plays is just so different that it’s really hard to... it’s too hard. Because I mean, I love G-Love, and if G-Love’s just with his guitar and he makes up a song with my name in it at the little house that we have for singers and songwriters, that’s a moment. On the other hand, if you have like, Fitz And The Tantrums and everybody gets down in the mud and does the turtle, that’s another moment. And that’s what I love about having really eclectic lineups.
And you know, seeing the New York Dolls a couple years back, huge. Huge! Like one of my favorite bands of all time, you know?
Random musical thing I learned recently: Apparently Adele's Someone Like You is the only song to hit #1 in the US with just vocals and piano. Huh.
I started working on that song for that reason, although I didn't know that stat. It's a great song, but I feel so sad when I hear her stuff already. Hopefully she'll come to a full recovery, but she sure is a cautionary tale for my vocal students who tend to ignore my advice.
Just 'cuz.
Elliott Smith's "Waltz #2" on French TV. (With Janet Weiss on drums.)
Album covers minus the dead guys. I actually find this more depressing than funny (esp. the Ramones one): [link]
Oh, David, that is sooo Season 1!
(season 2 starts this weekend)
Oh, David, that is sooo Season 1!
Yeah, I just figured that out.
But it's still awesome! Mainly because it makes me think of Glamcookie rocking out in the 90s.
The line, “You can go to a record store, and sell your CDs!” makes me laugh every time.
