Post for a February Evening

Listening to the jukebox tonight and enjoying a Beck's Light. Wanted to give it a try since I really like the regular Beck's and they advertise it as only 64 calories. It tastes like a Beck's Light -- well duh, but you know it tastes just like a Beck's, only slightly watered down or "light." Not bad, but when it's cold on a winter's night I want something with a little more "meat" so to speak. I could see myself drinking Beck's Light in the summer when you want something lighter.

I was just treated to a "double shot" of Three Dog Night on the jukebox, "Never Been To Spain" and "Joy To The World."

I may not have mentioned before, the "jukebox" is now simply my 8GB iPod Nano and not the bulky old computer where it formerly resided. I picked up a base unit for the iPod which keeps it charged and plugs into my stereo system. The base unit comes with an iPod remote, which is the white rectangle in the photo. Beneath the remote is a black leather wallet-style case for the iPod, great for traveling and looks cool too.

Speaking of Three Dog Night, I did some clicking around the iTunes store and rediscovered another great track of theirs, "Momma Told Me (Not To Come)" -- perfect for a Friday evening and you may remember it from the soundtrack to "Boogie Nights."

I offer the video below by way of a "six-degrees of separation"...

... Mark Wahlberg was in "Boogie Nights" and was in "Three Kings" and "The Perfect Storm" with George Clooney, and George Clooney appeared with Matt Damon in the "The Ocean's" movies...

Anyway, last night I was up watching Jimmy Kimmel and nearly fell out of bed laughing when this video aired. Jimmy was celebrating the 5th anniversary of his late night show and his first guest was his girlfriend, comedian Sarah Silverman. The video features Sarah and Matt Damon revealing a "secret" she's been keeping from Jimmy. Crude yes, but bleeped for TV. Too funny!


Salud!

You KNOW how I feel about Matt Damon! I saw this before I read your post, and it may be the funniest YouTube thingy I've ever seen. It's certainly the funniest one with an Oscar-winning celeb. Anyway, I've caught myself singing it in public--gotta be careful!

New Woodside Lounge

Image
Opened up the new Woodside Lounge yesterday. For those of you who have visited in the past, this room is at the front of the house but many times went unnoticed by visitors as it was closed off and used as storage. The new Woodside Lounge has its own TV, even though it's around the corner from the theater room. It just goes without saying, all lounges must have a TV for sporting events. I believe it's in the building code. Music is served up from the stereo system currently residing in the dining room, but I'm thinking of moving it to the Lounge. Today I went streakin'! Remember, use that sunblock out there. - Salud!

Summer Mix 2007

I probably should give this over the weekend to think about it, because there are three songs not included in this year's Summer Mix that I've been flip-flopping over. The mix just seems very tight and I can't fit the songs in without repeating the "essence," "groove" or beat of another song. I think the mixes for me work best when they flow and take you from one place to another musically without beating you over the head with the same style. Another thing I like to do with the Summer Mix is incorporate the old alongside the new. I hate to put two old songs back to back, or should I say two songs from the same era back to back. Now as you look at my mix you'll see some old songs next to other old songs. I guess it's not a hard and fast rule for me, but I try to at least jump a decade between two old songs. Like last year I kept the sound effects to a minimum, using a mix I created of beach sounds for the opening and a crickets sound effect for ...
