Thus Says Suzanne...

Lily Allen - 22 (Official Music Video) continued...

Note - This post is bifurcated and separate from the video below because I had to post it directly from the site of origin. 

I'm not a big fan of music videos.  I'm not a fan of many contemporary artists (I call them artists because precious few can be called musicians).  That said, I really like Lily Allen, and particularly this video. 

The Eagles

Have you heard that The Eagles have a new CD out?  Well, they do and I have my copy.

I feel Don Henley's influence throughout, not just in the music but I suspect in the eco-friendly CD case as well.  My early favorite cut is "Fast Company."

It's clearly still The Eagles, only better. 

The Mom Overture

now that's customer service!

True story.  I ordered a couple CD's online from CD Baby.  Today I got an e-mail shipping notification and I'll just say that anyone having this much fun with customer service deserves more customers...

"Your CDs have been gently taken from our CD Baby shelves with
sterilized contamination-free gloves and placed onto a satin pillow.

A team of 50 employees inspected your CDs and polished them to make
sure they were in the best possible condition before mailing.

Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell over
the crowd as he put your CDs into the finest gold-lined box that money
can buy.

We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole party
marched down the street to the post office where the entire town of
Portland waved "Bon Voyage!" to your package, on its way to you, in
our private CD Baby jet on this day, Sunday, July 8th.

I hope you had a wonderful time shopping at CD Baby.  We sure did.
Your picture is on our wall as "Customer of the Year."  We're all
exhausted but can't wait for you to come back to CDBABY.COM!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Sigh..."

hilarious

I was shopping at Kohl's department store last week and noticed a new display of their Kohl's cares for kids items including the book/CD combination shown here. 

I looked through the song listing and decided to give it a shot...what the heck, it was only five bucks.

OMG, to say my youngster loves it is an understatement!  She wants to hear it everywhere we go, and she looks through the book to follow along with the lyrics.  (The second half of the book has the sheet music!)

This is not cheesy typical "kids" music either, it's very well done, with tracks by some very well-known celebrities. 

Check out the song listing...

            - Tantrum
            - Thus Quacked Zarathustra
            - Dog Train
            - Sneakers
            - Cow Planet
            - Boring Song
            - Pots & Pans
            - I Need A Nap
            - Evermore          

         

            - Cow Planet (Episode 2)
            - Penguin Lament
            - (Don't Give Me That) Broccoli
            - Dragonfire
            - Cow Planet (Episode 3)
            - Wave Bye-Bye
            - Rock To Sleep 54
            - Dog Train Midnight Jam

Tweedle dee and tweedle dum (AKA Spederline)

In case you were wondering Brit-Brit is still dumber than a pile of rocks.  She was at the Teen Choice Awards show to provide the intro to her "man's" performance.  She's smacking gum, and "y'all-in'" all over the place.  Then to make things worse K-Fed comes on stage with his noise pollution.  How did our culture devolve to the point where these people are admired?  Barf to infinity.   

someone help?

I am looking for a CD (or more than one CD) of acoustical guitar Spanish ballads.  (No voice.  No other instruments.)  I've listened to clip after clip and most of what I'm finding is flamenco music although I love it, it's not what I'm looking for this time.  Call it mood music if you must but I'm definitely not looking for elevator soundtracks.  The closest example of what I'm looking for is the background music in this previous You-Tube clip.   (LG are you out there?)  Anyone?  (Pretty please.)

My ears are bleeding

I hesitate to categorize this as music, almost created a special category for K-Crap's K-Fed's Popozao.  Someone made the heroic sacrifice of his ears and his sanity to try to make sense of the unintelligible mess.    I must warn you that your ears will bleed too if you listen to this.  Run, run for your lives.

K-Fed (AKA Mr. Britney Spears)

I debated whether or not to post a picture of this loser.  May I just say this guy skeeves me out no matter how he is dressed?  Ick to infinity.

He claims to have had a strategy to Popozao.  Get this..."At first, when I put out PopoZao, people were kinda laughing at me. I did it on purpose so people would look at me exactly the way they did. "That way, when I come out with my real s**t, people are f**king blown away."

Riiiiiight.  I was going to post a link to the "music" but it's my understanding that it may qualify as assault with a deadly weapon.  I listened to it and I'm in counseling now but I was pretty traumatized so it may take a while to work through my issues.
