The Talkin’ Headline Blues #66

Here’s the new Talkin’ Headline for this week. Are you keeping up with these? I am…just barely.

Did you know that Poor Elvis has a show this Saturday? Come hear us at Quenchers Saloon. Starts at 9pm with the Sleepovers blitzin through some new-wave surf-rock and the End Times Spasm Band from Fort Wayne. It’s only $5 at the door. Don’t miss out!

Here’s the info on facebook.

The Talkin’ Headline Blues #65

Here’s yet another Talkin’ Headline Blues. Have you been revisiting the older ones?

Also, did you know that Poor Elvis is playing at the Lillstreet Art Studio First Friday event? Come check it out. Browse some art and listen to some new songs. It’s free.

And, we’re also playing another show with the hot Fort Wayne group End Times Spasm Band on Saturday, February 11 at Quenchers Saloon. You really can’t miss this one; End Times is great. Hip-buckin’ surf rock band the Sleepovers open at 9pm, we go on around 10pm, and End Times follows. It’s only $5 to get in. More info here.

See ya there!

The Talkin’ Headline Blues #61

So, some people say that the way you spend the first day of the year is how you’ll spend the rest of the year. I don’t know if I buy that. I wonder, though, if it could be the same for headlines. For news. That whatever news is in the headlines now, at the beginning of the year, will be there throughout the rest of the year in some way or another.

I kinda hope not, though, cause based on the headlines I used for this version of the Talkin’ Headline Blues, we’re in for a pretty bleak and confusing year.

Here’s a recap:

Politicians, death, signs of the Apocalypse, elections, Al Qaeda, the moon, fires, videos, shootouts, murder.

That’s just a little summary, though.

I think the funniest part of this song, or, the funniest headlines that were both in the same “Living & Eatocracy” section on CNN.com were:

Why make resolutions? Failure inspires

and

Making realistic New Year’s resolutions

Which am I supposed to do? Am I supposed to just fail? How can I fail without first attempting something new? Am I supposed to fail at what I’m already doing? Or, is CNN saying that I’m already a failure? Should I make a resolution, but make one that I can realistically fail at? Who is inspired by these failures?

Anyone have some clarity on this?

Anyway…that’s the first Talkin’ Headline for this year.
