M is for Monday is for Mp3 (Late Edition)

A late edition Mp3 for you, Dear Reader.  This is a cut from the Raphael Saadiq album, The Way I See It, that dropped in September.  Some of you may remember Raphael Saadiq from the early 90s R&B Dance Sensation: Tony! Toni! Tone!.  Well, let me assure you he's come a long way from the days of If I Had No Loot.

Drawing from a pure Motown influence, this song is terrific.  The kind of song that makes you want to turn it up real loud, and start dancing the Mashed Potato in your apartment by yourself, until you look out your window and notice your neighbors across the way staring and laughing at you.  Not that I know anyone who would be silly enough to do anything like that.

(For whatever reason, this Mp3 takes a long time to load on this page.  Be patient, it's worth it.)

Farewell Statler, Farewell Waldorf

Friday is for Favorite Things

There are some big changes afoot for the Charm School Graduate. After 6+ years of clicking and dragging my way through the passages of Penguin, one week from today, I will pack up my pixels and move on. I am extremely thrilled to be starting a new chapter, but I am extremely saddened that so many parts of my daily routine are going to change.  I could not possibly begin to list all of the things that I'm going to miss, so instead, today I give a shout out to my Worst Best Fans; Statler and Waldorf. Many of you may remember Statler and Waldorf as the crotchety old men who always delivered those classic zingers during The Muppet Show.  "Statler and Waldorf" also happens to be the name I have given to two imbeciles who make daily visits to my office. These visits are generally brief, and generally only serve one purpose: to mock me.

Topics of Aforementioned Mockery Have Included

(but are not limited to):

• This blog.

• My brief mention of a good looking bartender in this post on this blog.

• My [alleged] promiscuity.

• My [alleged] illegitimate child(ren). 

• My [alleged] employment at a local strip club.

• My love of the bottle.

• This blog.

• The act of blogging on this blog.

• My [alleged] act of blogging after hitting the bottle.

Over time, I have grown immune to this mockery. I am not offended, as I know that Statler and Waldorf do this out of love. (Whether they admit it or not.)  And in the end, I'm going to miss these knuckle-heads coming into my office in all of their raunchy glory.

As I think about it though, I guess it's kind of weird that I began to liken these two coworkers to The Muppet Show's Statler and Waldorf . . . When I was growing up, I always thought Statler and Waldorf were a gay couple.  ZING...bitches! I win! I win!

A little somethin' from The Helio Sequence.  Today, I think this is enough said.

M is for Monday is for Mp3

Today we have a Compare and Contrast Mp3 Post. Oh my! As indicated once here, I tend to appreciate cover songs that are a big enough departure from the original, so that they are completely different interpretation of the same [technical] song.

Modest Mouse unleashed the tune Never Ending Math Equation on the Building Something Out of Nothing album in 1999. Six years later, Sun Kil Moon released an album, Tiny Cities, that is a compilation of Modest Mouse covers.  One review of the Sun Kil Moon cover album stated: This is what Modest Mouse would sound like if they were a Christian Rock band. Which is kind of hysterical, and kind of dead-on accurate. Take your pick, Dear Reader, they're both pretty terrific.
