Bangin’ Groove
Ricky Martin’s “She Bangs” is not for everyone… but it should be. It’s not a terrible song and the best parts of it are honestly good bits of writing and musical talent. So I’ve been jamming to it incessantly for a few days now. Seriously, though, this video is amazing and I don’t care what … Read more
So, today at work…
One of the regulars* at the bank for which I work part-time walked in the other day. He came toward my window because I was the only un-busy person at the time. I looked up and said, “Hi, how’s it goin’.” “Not bad, you,” he said, thumbing a greasy finger through the cash he meant … Read more
Soliloquy of the, um, something or other Cloister
You think too much. Who are you talking to? You, of course. If you’re talking to me that means I’m talking to you. Well, who else is going to listen? I don’t exactly have a choice in the matter. Ok. So did I mess up? I think I messed up. But that means I messed … Read more
Country Groove
Continuing to follow the trend of eclectic Grooves that I’ve been posting on this site, I’m going with my first country entry. “You Gonna Fly” by Keith Urban is just a fun song. Urban is one of the best in his genre, not to mention one of the better popular guitarists playing today. His tunes … Read more
The Power of Groove
Today’s Groove of the Day is “The Power of Love” by Huey Lewis and the News. This song, for me, is inextricably connected to the film BACK TO THE FUTURE, one of the more perfect movies ever put to film. The song is one of the best upbeat and completely non-depressing songs about love recorded. … Read more
Men and boys
“License and registration, please,” said the officer. “I don’t have either,” said the driver. “Step out of the car sir.” “No. Why did you pull me over?” “Your trunk is leaking blood.” “Then why did you come up to the car and ask for semantics when you should have had your shotgun ready to blow … Read more
Bellflower, that order of Pain, or why I’m going to own a ’72 Buick Skylark
I’m glad that I waited a couple of days before writing this post… As anyone who follows me on Facebook/this blog/Twitter knows, I watched the movie BELLFLOWER for the first time on Friday and have watched it two and a half more times since that first viewing. I came off of that initial viewing so … Read more
I need a shotgun, a flamethrower and this song
I’ve been going through a Bellflower kick recently. I got it in the mail from Netflix on Friday and have watched it three times since. This isn’t a post on the movie, exactly, but a Groove of the Day. The song “Secrets” by Small Town Zeros plays within the movie and each time I hear … Read more
The One Girl That You Like and All
In a full bar, there was this girl… “Hey man, who’s that chick,” said Evan, crouching low enough toward James’ bar stool so he could hear. “Which one,” asked James. “That one, over there,” Evan pointed to the corner of the bar where the dudes were dancing much harder and sweatier. “Well I see what … Read more
Innuendo
“That should not go there,” she said. “Where should I put it then?” he said. “Are you serious? If you’re not creative you literally only have two other options.” “Because the other two would destroy you. Where’s the fun in quickness?” “This has come to a screeching halt and I’m in physical pain. It’s a shame … Read more
