The Talkin’ Headline Blues #98

The Talkin' Headline Blues #98

“Here’s to old D. H. Lawrence.”

My Brother will know what that means. He showed me that movie for the first time. Thanks Brother.

Sorry for the silliness. The news was just too depressing today. I was already so low down. I didn’t need to read all that.

Luckily I had synthetic minerals to attach to my terrible brain chemicals. Not everyone is so lucky.

Anyway, here’s to the first of the day. NEECK NEECK NEECK NEECK.

The Talkin' Headline Blues #97

There’s a lot going on in the news these days, no? I just read today, there’s this young woman whose recorded album of music went STRAIGHT TO NUMBER ONE. WOW! I better check that out, seeing as how I also record music.

And, I really like how there’s all this OUTRAGE all of a sudden about the Washington Professional Footballers team name the “Redskins.” I know there’s always been some degree of angst toward that team name, but it really RAMPED UP this Summer. And now, everyone seems to be calling for a change. Just in time for Thanksgiving, right? Hopefully the Redskins will change their name on that Thursday that we all sit down to grease our throats with turkey gullet in the name of…um…peace and harmony and prosperity?

I hope they change their team name to this.

Random Record Pick: Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Young Brigham

Random Record Pick is a way to organize and archive an always-growing collection of vinyl records. Each record is randomly picked from a shelf or crate or dusty corner of my house, a photo is taken of the cover, and then the entire record is played all the way through, even if it’s terrible.

This took me probably about 107 attempts to record. I think it took so long mainly because of what I wrote about in this Medicated Artist post over on MusicVomit.net.

But also because the headlines for this week had way too many words in them. THANKS CNN. I thought you were supposed to be making the news simpler. Easier. Less words next week, please!

Now back to your day….
