Juxtaposition

Oldest first...









I couldn't find a video of The Queers' version, but here's a clip.

I should also say that I chose the studio recording of the Beach Boys' version because this one, though it looks way cooler, kinda blows. This is what it would look like if I had to play drums with The Beach Boys.

Apparently, Twitter is getting pretty popular.

Story from the BBC
I'm not a Twitter user, but It's pretty hard to escape it's influence these days. I wonder if the executioners watched their i-phones for a last minute reprieve-tweet from the Governor.

Ask Eva...


The poster makes the movie look much better than the trailer does.

Foreign language Motown classics.

Hearing a familiar song sung in a foreign language really brings out something I missed before. I guess it's just easier to hear the song and not be reminded of an oldies radio promo or a TV commercial. Regardless of the language, old songs like these will always remind me of working in that grimy old factory in Michigan during my post-high school/pre-government years.
I wonder if this ever happens with pop music anymore, aside from those bilingual dually recorded latin explosion hits from the late 90's.
