Movies are supposed to be good.
Last week’s answers are posted up and ready for your perusal! It included an African artist providing his version of Taylor Swift’s “Shake it Off” and the title track from Paul Simon’s “Graceland,” which is an album I find myself consistently returning to. Also in the mix was the MIKA and Ariana Grande duet “Popular…
The answers for last week’s Friday 10 are up! A few actually got identified this time around, although going unidentified was the perfect song to kick off a Halloween selection of lyrics. That was, of course, “Haddonfield 15 Years Later,” performed by Jared Weiss and written by Joe Iconis. As a working songwriter on Broadway,…
It might surprise anyone who has taken the time to notice that most of my blog entries are The Friday 10 and the occasional quick takes on my latest Letterboxd views, but I love writing. I always have from the moment I learned how. I have vivid memories of sitting down at my family’s Mac…
Last week’s answers are posted, and it was a complete stumper. Not a single lyric was identified! Some of these were big hits, as well, including singles from three different women who at different times have been called “The biggest artist in the world”: Beyoncé, Janet Jackson, and Mariah Carey. “Texas Hold ‘Em” came from…
It’s Letterboxd Friday, which I’ve missed for a few weeks! So let’s take a look at my last four watched movies and see if I have anything to say about them.

Including the mighty Harry Nilsson with “Me and My Arrow.” It’s a song featured in the animated television special “The Point,” (Affilaite link ahoy!) which holds the distinction of being the first ever animated feature to air on prime time TV. Nilsson started developing…
It’s another Friday, and another 10 lyrics to guess! As always, a few rules before we get started. Of course, last week’s answers are posted, so you can check those out here if you’re interested! And if you want more lyrics to guess, there’s still some over at Thudfactor’s joint! The Lyrics: Get in the…
I like these weekly projects like the Friday 10 or posting my Letterboxd recent activity. But I’ve gotta find some to do that aren’t on Fridays. This day is starting to show some strain under the weight of carrying this blog. Here’s the recent activity for this week, with brief thoughts to follow. (Just to…
Last week’s Friday 10 featured only one lyric that was guessed, which is actually pretty standard for the run so far. John was able to pick up a point for guessing “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” by The Beatles, and the rest are now posted on the previous entry if you would like to…
