COME ON!!!!!!!!!

Well, I watched Canadian Idol tonight. I voted for Mookie, Earl, Drew and Theo. And Mookie got kicked off. I'm so mad.

Plus, I did not get to go to the library today. Tomorrow, my mom says. So I guess we're going tomorrow. Well, come tomorrow, she'd better not put it off, because I have to take back Quadrophenia, tomorrow.

And when I was playing Final Fantasy VIII while my parents were out, Teddy kept whining every time she heard a car door. "It's not them!" I kept telling her. And when they did come home, she got excited. Really, really excited.

Here's Mookie singing Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf...




And here he is singing Lola by The Kinks. Mom didn't like it as much as I did...




Mookie performing James Brown's 'I Feel Good'...




And last, but far, far, far from least, Mookie performing Ophelia by The Band.

Hot Patootie, bless my soul!

Since the song mentions Saturday nights, I think it's quite fitting :)

Sweet, sweet music

So in a previous post I asked you, dear reader, about songs that remind you of moments in your life or scenes from movies. I shall list all of the songs that bring back memories...

Songs and memories:

While My Guitar Gently Weeps, covered by Jeff Healey: Reminds me of Jeff Healey's death, and how it hit me hard. They say that the music died when Buddy Holly died, but for me the music seemed to die or almost die when Jeff Healey passed.

Twist and Shout, covered by The Beatles: Reminds me of the parade scene from Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Hot Blooded by Foreigner: Reminds me of a Diet Pepsi commercial... the dude trying to get into his old jeans... :)

Summer of '69 by Bryan Adams: Reminds me of a funny moment at a youth group meeting.

There's probably a lot of other songs, but I can't think of them.

So, I'm gonna take that Zeppelin book back to the library. It's called Led Zeppelin In Their Own Words, compiled by Paul Kendall. I love the photos in it. It's the only copy that the library has, and I think it's out of print. I also have to pick up Becoming Jane, season one of Torchwood, and the complete recordings of Robert Johnson.

Plus, the tent sale at the LYS is coming up :D :D :D

On a happier note...

I heard an awesome set of songs on the radio late last night/early this morning. Until they played a song that I don't like, but oh well, that's life. Here's the list...

1. Stevie Ray Vaughan - Cold Shot
2. David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust
3. April Wine - Roller (Man, can Myles Goodwyn holler!)
4. Foreigner - Hot Blooded
5. Bruce Springsteen - Glory Days
6. The Who - I Can't Explain

All together now! "I'm in looove with my caaaar...."

I watched Queen Rock Montreal last night on PBS, and wow. I didn't know that it was Roger Taylor who did the vocals on I'm In Love With My Car. He's got a cool voice - raspy, kinda like Rod Stewart, but not mushy like Rod. I worked on my ruff while watching it, and today I cast it off and wove the ends in. Now I just have to sew on a small button, wash it, fluff up the ruffles and let it dry. Yay!

Below is the YouTube video of Killer Queen/I'm In Love With My Car...
