YouTube is the New Crack

This has to be the coolest clip since somebody invented videotape. And somebody else invented the VCR.

Weekly Soundtrack

The "Stop me before I post Loggins and Messina" Edition:

1. "Woman" by Wolfmother...This song is so dumb you knew it would end up here sooner or later. Proto-metal guitars, organ solos, and lyrics as bad as anything off Led Zeppelin II? One word, baby: fuckin' cool!
2. "Sincere" by Freedy Johnston...Nothing wrong with this song that a Deep Purple-style organ solo couldn't fix.
3. The Indestructible Beat of Soweto...The first album posted here mostly because I can't understand any of the lyrics and all the tunes are cool 80s-style Afro-pop, so why bother picking just one song?

Weekly Soundtrack

1. "Fire and Rain" by James Taylor
2. "Help Me" by Joni Mitchell
3. "It's Too Late" by Carole King

I don't think I've lost my mind, but maybe I have. Even though these songs are not sunny, upbeat tunes there is something so groovy and musical about them that they make a good soundtrack on a hot summer night. Also they each have good lines that stick in your head: "Dance with the lady with the hole in her stocking," is such a strong image that it dominates the song for me.
