  • Earworm Wednesday: Christmas Edition

    I mean, Beaker and Miss Piggy make the song.

  • Earworm Wednesday: They Don’t Sample Like They Used To

    And before anyone tells me, yes, I know why they don’t sample like they used to.

    Anyway, I used The Sounds of Science as an example for my kid to explain and understand what sampling used to be like, being that she knows both of The Beatles songs used in it.

    But what gets wedged and stuck in my head is the Pato Banton sample saying “I do not sniff the coke, I only smoke the sinsemilla.” Yeah, that line plays over and over and over…

  • Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!

    And it would be nice if the Cowboys won, too!

  • Earworm Wednesday: It’s Ringo’s Turn

    Now, I will go to the mat and fight on any hill available to me when I say that Ringo is one of the truly great rock drummers of all time. C’mon, let’s go!

    But this song does drill into my skull and won’t leave which is rather annoying.

    And I guess it was time to pick on another Beatles and cut Paul some slack…

  • What Did I Do Today?

    I over slept, for one.

    I made a breakfast of cereal because I was tired.

    I walked the dog.

    I woke my daughter up.

    I made my daughter breakfast.

    I had a long conversation with my daughter because she felt sad and anxious.

    I started laundry and finished laundry.

    I made my family lunch.

    I fell asleep on the couch watching an old episode of Great British Baking Show.

    I cleaned the kitchen.

    Made a Thanksgiving grocery shopping list.

    I listened to The Beatles’ Anthology 4 while folding laundry.

    I am currently writing a blog.

    I still have to walk the dog.

    I still have to shower.

    I still have to make dinner.

    I still have to clean the kitchen again.

    I still have to make the coffee for the morning.

    I still have to put the kid to bed.

    I still have to play MarioKart and try and beat the final circuit in the Mirror Level.

    I still have to snuggle with my wife on the couch as we watch Tracker.

    I still have to put my wife to bed.

    I still have to watch part three of Ken Burn’s The American Revolution.

    I still have to go to bed.
