Movies are supposed to be good.
Every Friday I set my music player to shuffle and list off lyrics from the first ten songs that pop up — then it’s up you you, dear reader, to get into the comments and identify the artists and song titles. Last week, John walked away with two songs and eight went unidentified. The answers…
All of the answers have been posted for the last Friday 10 (which was actually 2 weeks ago — whoops!), so you can check them out to see what the 9 that weren’t guessed were! The one that was guessed was identified by John — R.E.M.’s “Stand.” For those who haven’t played before the idea…
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. Stereo (Tile 3B of a CAEE Educational Mosaic) David Cronenberg’s first feature film is a fascinating artifact. According to Cronenberg, he wasn’t really concerned…
Can you believe it’s been another week in our long, national “It Only Tuesday?” We could use a break, so it’s Friday and it’s time to try your hand at guessing a new set of 10 lyrics! The previous set has had all of its answers published if you want to check it out. Last…
Last week’s 10 had a lot of heavy hitters in it! 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…
