Ke$ha - We R Who We R

WOW... just WOW...

Most definitely a guilty pleasure.

Raise Your Glass and Firework

Vacationing at the Hotel Arturo (Mom's house), where cable television is among one of the many amenities. So I have been getting exposed to stuff I don't actively look for such as Top 40 pop music on the VH1 or MTV, or whatever...

Apparently, right now Pink and Katy Perry are on fire with "Raise your glass"and "Firework".

Both are feel-good anthems that celebrate personal uniqueness. Maybe this will be the new thing for the next few years... until it just becomes a cliche like everything else that gets over-exposed. But for now, we can enjoy it for a little while, and be glad for Pink and Katy that they are having success in their careers.

Soul Train!!! The Sound of Philidelphia Afrosheen

Saw a Soul Train documentary on VH1 Classics and heard the Soul Train Theme, which was released as "The Sound of Philidelphia"

Now during the Soul Train broadcasts, they would show Afro-centric commercials such as this one:

What can I say...I LOVE YOUTUBE!!!

Such a shame that he pissed away so much money... Maybe he should have quit when he was still legit...

Tron Bonne vs. Roll Caskett vs. Little Wing Solfege Overture

Some things I find just leave me speechless.



Some things I just say WTF is that:



Either way, a major part of my music appreciation came from playing early video games. So it would be natural that this would appeal to me.

More of this stuff... there is tons of it:

Heir ou demain - Sergei Gainsbourg

What can we say? There is a whole catalogue of music that has not touched our ears. But thanks to the magic of the Internet...

Gloria Gaynor - I am what I am

I am sick today, so I have been watching movies on Netflix. Just saw "Kiss me Guido" and this song was in the closing credits.

I love these low-budget indie comedies because they always play cool soundtracks throughout the movie. And you can find some real gems in there if you keep your ear open.

For example, "Night Visitor" from Rupert Hitzig (1989) has a John Leffler song "This is the Love" in the closing scene and credits. It's hard to find any information about it online.

But anyway, I have some time and nothing much to do so I will keep watching, and listening.
