Day 5: Poetry is a way to express complex emotions that are hard to get across using simple prose. Poems often use odd language to help illustrate abstract concepts. Pop songs, on the other hand, tend to rhyme…and that’s pretty much it. They make little sense when held up to scrutiny. That’s why I started […]
Day 1: Since I’m clearly ripping off Michael Jackson’s Thriller video for the visuals of “Blogtober,” I thought that the first blog should be a salute to the gloved one. I wanted to do a High Five list of his songs…but I had too many favorites to narrow it down to five. So I decided […]
Wow…it’s been over a year since I’ve done any work on this series! For newcomers to the blog, “Whatchu Singin’ About?” is not a slap in the face to the late Gary Coleman. It was intended to be a series of blogs making fun of songs with crappy lyrics. I feel sometimes a song is […]
30 Days and 30 Blogs: Day 6 This one’s kind of a cheat because it’s simply fulfilling an obligation from this week’s TANcast. But basically watch as much of this video as you can stomach… And then vote for what you think of it in our non-biased poll… What do you think of the Glee […]
I found a video via Boing Boing that proves what I have long suspected: Bobby McFerrin has cavorted with powers most foul, selling his very soul for the ability to control the minds of men.

I want to try and post here, so here is my attempt at that. I have so many ideas of regular things I could blog about but I get lazy. One idea I had was to watch crappy Comcast On Demand movies and write about it but writing has never been my strong suit. Maybe […]
I’m a fan of crappy music. There…I said it. I know most of the music I listen to isn’t “great music.” But it entertains me and I enjoy it. But at least I admit it! You may be one of the many living in denial. Your music sucks too. “No it doesn’t I listen to […]
I bought the 160gb iPod because I actually have that much music and I love carrying around my music collection in my pocket. So I put my iPod on shuffle and here are the first 10 songs that played. Song:hall of heads Artist:they might be giants Album:apollo 18 Song:so right Artist:dave matthews band Album:everyday Song:telegram […]
I am digging Girl Talk. If I had to describe it, I would call it mashups with A.D.D. It seems like it would be a train wreck but I think that songs he uses work very well together. In the song above I can pick out James Taylor, 50 Cent, Nas, Pixies and Weezer. Another […]
