Why I Love the Internet - Fashion 1969

I really don't think I have to say anything about this... speaks for itself. Thank you, dear Internet, for your fabulous bounty.

Nostalgia

I was talking about Betty Davis which lead to watching Kim Carnes' "Betty Davis Eyes" - after which YouTube suggested I watch "I Come From the Land Down Under" by Men at Work. Both were awesome. What followed hit me hard in the middle of my nostalgia nerve. Nena's classic 99 Red Balloons holds a special place in my gut. When I started taking German in the sixth grade, I remember translating the words from the original German version into English. As I watched with Tosso, I was embarrassed to find myself crying. That is, until I looked over at Tosso and saw him filled with emotion as well. And by the way, Nena is so friggin hot in the video. Watch it!

Why I Love the Internet : Omar Souleyman

This is the most awesome shit. Amazing. I love everything about it. The sample of Centipede - or some other vintage Atari game - just takes it over the top. Try sitting still while you listen to this.

Snow Day!!!!

I live in Brooklyn, so when nature comes my way, I milk it as much as possible. I took a walk to Prospect Park where there was not only tons of sledding going on, but more snowmen per square foot than I have ever seen in my life, and some of the largest I have encountered, as well. People were building tunnels and forts. I am not sure who was having more fun, the kids or their parents. I went to my favorite secluded spot and was graced with the presence of many beautiful birds. It was a lovely day. I am now back home, nice and cozy, and getting ready for some hot noodle soup! Life is good.

Badass Brooklyn : Part II

I passed by this the other day. So simple. So obvious. So friggin funny!

Badass Brooklyn

Snowday!!! Thick wet snow everywhere. Tree limbs tired and sagging under the weight of it. Barely any cars. It was the perfect snowman snow. I took the first picture in Carroll Gardens and the second one is from Mike Spears. He takes great pictures. Check out his blogggg.

oh yea, baby - footsteps in the dark

Mmmmm! Mmmmm! So sexy for you. The music starts mellow, slow, with a groove divine... Nooo, too sexy. Like the person who uploaded this love masterpiece on to youtube said, "Does anyone have peanut butter? because this is the JAM!"

Let's Go Get Stoned...

I can't believe I almost passed this by - I was trying to find a video of Ray Charles doing "Let's Go Get Stoned" and I was having no luck. But then I struck afternoon gold: Joe Cocker doing an insane bang up fucking amazing job at Woodstock in 1969. The setting is amazing. The mood, sublime. At one point, Joe breaks out into a mean air guitar, which a moments mutates into air drumming. Talk about practice what you preach. Amen and hallelujah.

the smell of wine and cheap perfume...

Seriously, folks. I get goosebumps from this one.

oh SNAP! (I've Got The Power)

Ok, I am totally having a love affair with the interweb.. The access to free music and videos is INSANE. Don't get me started on Google Maps. Anyway, this morning, Tosso was asking if I remember that song "I've Got the Power" and presto, I can find it instantly on youtube. Badassss. Absolutely badass. The mixture of anger and innocence is totally endearing. Check it, yo!
