Today’s videos harken back to a simpler time when the world was at war and the news of death was constant. Then, as now, the US Army combated morale drops with women entertainers and humor. At that time, Boogie Woogie was popular. Luckily the Andrews Sisters were around at that time, and we ended up with this (from the 1941 Abbott and Costello film “Buck Privates”): That’s probably the most well-known Andrews Sisters . . . → Read More: The Andrews Sisters – Tuesday TubeWatch It's funnier when you hear the song. Aquaman. Of all the Justice League characters, he is perhaps the most ignored. The most ridiculed. To be fair, he talks to fish. Some ridicule is to be expected. And really, put him up against Batman and Superman and something seems to be … lacking. This is my new favorite superhero-related song (or see the YouTube version): Aquamans Lament – Mark Aaron James I never really . . . → Read More: Aquaman: Lover, Fighter, or just all wet? How do we create? What takes us from the point where a story, or a song, or a painting doesn’t exist to a point where it does exist? How do we get a web site, or a new mathematical theorem, or a new game for our kids, where none existed before? What takes us from nothing to something? There are many varied answers to that question, and many steps in the process(es). But the first . . . → Read More: Tuesday TubeWatch: Creativity – Inspiration Ever since “Ikea” popped up on one of my Pandora stations months ago, it’s been one of my favorites. Every time I hear or see words like “Ikea,” “Thor,” or “Norsemen” this song immediately pops to mind. It’s surprising how many times that happens given I live in the US nowhere near an Ikea. It’s catchy, and it’s funny. (And Paul, if you don’t listen to this one, I will hunt you down.)

All: COMMENTARY COMMENTARY FASTEN YOUR SEATBELTS – IT’S A COMMENTARY EVERYONE LOVES THESE “MAKING-OF”S THE STORY BEHIND THE SCENES THE WAY THAT WE GOT THAT ONE COOL SHOT AND WHAT IT ALL MEANS WE’LL TALK ABOUT THE WRITING WE’LL PROBABLY SAY “IT’S GREAT!” AND THE ACTING — SO EXCITING EXCEPT FOR NATE Nathan: I phoned it in All: COMMENTARY COMMENTARY SET COURSE FOR . . . → Read More: Dr. Horrible: Commentary! The Musical …there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying… Glory to God – Merry Christmas to everyone! (I’ve sung Handel’s Messiah a few times, and listened to it countless times, and I like it more every time I hear it. Pure art. Do yourself a favor and listen to some more.) . . . → Read More: And suddenly… I’ve talked about Dr. Horrible before. It really is a great little musical. Well, now it’s being released on DVD. I’ve started to shy away from buying DVDs, but I might go for this one. It’s almost too much of a draw on its own, but throw in the fact that the commentary is being performed as a musical as well, and I’m not sure I can let this one pass. That’s just too perfect . . . → Read More: Pre-order the Dr. Horrible DVD John Williams is probably the most well known film composer in history. He owes much of that success to the Star Wars series, but Jaws, Superman, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Raiders of the Lost Ark* are just some of the other landmark soundtracks of his early career.

Well, it may sound glamorous, but they’re giving me a headache. See, it just doesn’t add up. And things need to add up. I’m trying to fit three of them into a space designed for two, and I just can’t get it to work. I need someone to explain the math. In music, everything is very orderly. You have a certain number of beats in a measure. Most . . . → Read More: Hanging out with triplets can be a headache Apparently, I’m prejudiced. Despite all evidence to the contrary, I persisted in believing an unfounded assumption rather than taking a few minutes to find out the truth. Because of that stupidity, I missed out on some enjoyment. Luckily, I can make up for that in this case. As I’ll come back to, that’s not always true. The name “Five for Fighting” applied to a music group immediately conjured up images of hard, driving rock music, . . . → Read More: I’m a prejudiced idiot |
