The Talkin’ Headline Blues #85

Here are all the headlines from Monday this week.

Don’t forget the show at Lacuna Artist Loft Studios this Saturday, October 13. It’s a free event, with free beer samples from Powell Brew House.

Poor Elvis will also be playing a couple acoustic sets during the event, which starts at 12 noon and runs until 6pm.

Come on out! There’s more info here.

The Talkin’ Headline Blues #84

So, I felt it was time to start doing these again. A month to go to a lot of things. Or a few things. Or…I guess, probably, that the headlines are gonna start to get really funny.

So you get this.

Now, you may notice, if you were keeping track, that the music is a little different. And maybe you’re saying to yourself, “Hey, Self, I really don’t think these are “Talkin’ Blues” songs in the traditional sense. What the heck is going on here?”

I’d say to that: Thanks for paying attention.

The Talkin’ Headline Blues #81

All the news headlines you need to know from Monday.

I’ll admit that taking a break from these, while refreshing, made it a bit more difficult to compile headlines into a song. I was just outta practice and it took me the whole entire day to write the song. Had to keep going back, hoping for rhyming words to pop into the headlines over at CNN.com. Maybe I can just blame CNN for not writing good enough headlines, though. Yeah, I’ll do that.

Get it together, CNN.

The Talkin’ Headline Blues #79

Looky here…these are the headlines from a month ago. I wrote this version of the Talkin’ Headline Blues back on April 30 with the intention of recording the song and loading it up here. And then, well, I pulled the rug out from under my feet.

So, I’m posting it today. You can see how far we’ve come as a world in but one month.

Tomorrow I’ll get up this week’s headlines (written on Monday).

Then, Friday, the re-recorded version of the song I recorded this week last year goes up (although I still need to actually DO that).

Woo Ha.
