If you're a They Might Be Giants fan, they just released a new FREE song (stelluB) on their merch site:


They've also brought their Dial-A-Song service into the 21st Century as a smartphone app called, rather appropriately, the They Might Be Giants iPhone/Android App. It's a cute music player with a play/pause button and linkages to buy a song, and plays up to 5 songs per day. Only issue with it so far: it runs in landscape mode (!!!).

I love their classic hit, On the Couch (ironically, they also had a song on it called Brain Damage).

Seiders, 44, is accused of recording young boys with his phone at a Chick-fil-A restaurant bathroom in Palm Desert, Calif., according to the local sheriff’s department. The city of about 50,000 is in the Coachella Valley.

Law enforcement responded to a report April 7 of suspicious activity at the fast food restaurant. An 11-year-old boy told them a man recorded him while he was using the bathroom there.

Two days later, officers received another report at Chick-fil-A and took Seiders into custody. They searched his home and found evidence connecting him to the two incidents. His charges include possession of child sex abuse materials, molesting a child, and invasion of privacy, the sheriff’s department said.

¿Que qué?

Thanks to VVO I'm only a month behind on a popular trend, which for me is really really amazing since I'm usually years, if not decades, behind everyone else. (Friends, The Office, Frozen, Minions to name just a few.)

So yeah, both Golden and Soda Pop are KILLING IT on the charts, and I'm cheering them on.

After watching KPDH a few days ago, I've spent hours watching reaction videos on YouTube. Voice coaches are such fun. When Rumi hits her high notes, they immediately reach for their keyboards to check her range (D3 to A5) and go slack jawed. But the best, for me, are all the people saying variations of "Okay, this is probably going to be cringe, but everyone's asking me to react to this movie-with-the-stupid-title..." and then they get hooked. I love when some tough guys get all weepy and try to brush away tears without anyone noticing. "Jinu, save your girl!! Wait, no, not like THAT!!"

I, too, was a skeptic. I was only going to check out a few minutes of the movie just to get a sense of what it was about, but I had low expectations. Now I am obsessed with the music.

Barely music-related.

Ronnie Rondell Jr - who was famously set alight for the front cover of Pink Floyd's iconic Wish You Were Here album cover - has died at the age of 88.

The Hollywood stuntman and actor died on 12 August at a care home in the US state of Missouri, according to an online obituary.

Rondell was involved in the production of a number of films and TV shows during his long career, including Lethal Weapon, Thelma and Louise and Star Trek: First Contact.
But they know what he's famous for.

You don't know this band, but the song and video are fun on account of the backstory behind it.


In the mid-00's someone posted on an internet bulletin board asking for help finding the name and origin of a song. He'd recorded a lot of songs off a German radio station back in the 80's and had recently been going through and identifying all of the titles and artists, some of them fairly obscure, and he'd managed to get them all except for this one. The post set off a niche but intensive search for the song and the band behind it, one that didn't seem to make much headway. They checked old music archives and program lists, found and contacted the now-retired DJ who's program had likely played the song - all seemingly to no avail. At one point some band (falsely) came forward and even went so far as trying to copyright the song, but nobody believed it was really them.

Finally at the end of last year someone followed enough clues that led them to a local German amateur music festival whose acts sometimes got radio play maybe once or twice, and found this band whose lead's voice sounded like it could be the one. He tracked down one of the members of this long-defunct band, who was astounded that people had spent almost 20 years trying to find them, and confirmed it was their song - he even still had an old demo tape with that song on it, among others.

All three members of this old garage band, all of whom had moved on with their lives, came together to put out this new video in appreciation. The person who is shown listening on headphones is "Darius", the one who posted the original request for help finding the song back in 2007, and the cassette tape is his original from the 1980's as well.
