Children's Viewing

2008-11-02T01:25:00.000-07:00

Out of nostalgia, I downloaded some songs from Pete's Dragon and there's a certain song "I Swear I Saw a Dragon" that struck a memory cord. Thank goodness for youtube cause it helped remind me of the gentle innocence of my youth, watching Pete's Dragon on my grandparents VCR. In particular the song that starts at 3:35 and helps get kids associated with town drunks, masochistic behavior toward women, beer barrel rolling, and a pretty suggestive...shall we say...CLIMAX...

60's Flashback

If you've never seen it, do yourself a favor this Halloween season and check out "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" It's a trip.

Dumbest Medication Name Ever

2008-10-20T07:52:00.000-07:00

This bipolar medication makes me smile with how on the nose the title is. I heard that originally the debate was between calling it "Make Not So Crazy Sad and Happy" and "Ablifyitinbutolcrillianostussin"

Damn You America's Got Talent!!

2008-09-26T22:32:00.000-07:00

I'm catching up on a few weeks of the show, and I know it's complete campy trash but wtf are you doing to my heartstrings NBC. For those of you who don't follow, there's this 4 year old girl Kaitlin who's adorable but there's no way she could sustain an act in Vegas, partly cause cute eventually grows up and partially cause how do you build a show around a 4 year old. Union regulations alone would make it more expensive than it's worth.

But she keeps getting voted through cause she's the freaking cutest thing ever. And tonight (well 2 weeks ago) in the top ten she comes out singing "I'll Be There" one of my favorite songs ever and I just wanna pick her up and take her home. Again I don't think she could sustain a show, but whoever has picked her songs so far would make an EXCELLENT producer cause they always have a great combination of good song in general to match up with good song to go with adorable Miss Kaitlin.

Of course all that said, I'm still mad at the show for voting off the baton boy who was adorable and reminded me of me but that's neither here nor there.

Over the Top...Even For Me

2008-09-26T21:55:00.000-07:00

To be quite honest I really do love the song in this commercial, but doesn't it seem that it's a little melodramatic in an ad about a pharmacy. CVS isn't in Washington so this is all new to me but...seriously...I just wanna buy condoms and aspirin. Calm down people!

2008-09-14T23:35:00.000-07:00

Cause when I think ska, I think Christians.

Stoned out of their gourd, goofy grinning, rasta loving Christians.

I love the piano that no one is playing in the middle of the group.

Yay Oscars Season

2008-09-07T16:19:00.000-07:00

It's a couple months off, but with school resuming and fall getting into full swing, the previews for Awards Season movies have started. Here's one I've been anticipating for the past year. Gus Van Sant's stuff gets a little arty for me at times, but he's always quality. I think, as a gay man, he's also the perfect choice to direct what will definitely be an incredibly moving picture. Bust out the kleenex! And I don't just mean for James Franco's 70's porn stache.

WTF?

2008-09-06T01:17:00.001-07:00

So I was trolling Craigslist primarily for my own amusement, not for a hook up. I just like nudie pics...sue me.

Anyway...I stumbled across this piece of work.

I love my gayz!

Back to School Shopping

2008-08-30T00:40:00.000-07:00

It's my new favorite outfit from JC Penny I bought for my first day of class. I'm gonna pair it with pink capri pants and my new pink jellys. And I"m thinking a black and white polka dot headband with a hot pink daisy on one side. Come recess I'll be the most popular 12 year old girl on the playground!

Don't forget to go to bed early for the first day. See you on the bus.

Flash Back to High School

2008-08-24T21:48:00.000-07:00

Oh the montages I could've assembled if I were in high school today. Back then it was 2 vcrs, my parent's stereo system and wires everywhere to make my parody's on VHS. Now it's all pretty much a camera and a computer and you've got more Brokeback Mountain parodys than you can shake a gay cowboy at. Enjoy!

And like Vanessa Williams, I've saved the best for last...

Why I Love Movies (part 3)

2008-08-23T22:24:00.000-07:00

Heaven help me, I can't be stopped!! Here's stuff from the best years of Woody Allen's films (as far as I'm concerned), the 1970's. I still think Manhattan (the black and white one) is HIGHLY overrated, but isn't the cinematography pretty?

Why I Love Movies (part 2)

2008-08-23T22:01:00.000-07:00

What did I tell you? This is an excellent montage set to music from Stanley Kubrick's movies, I highly recommend it. The first 45 seconds are a little slow, but only because it gives you an excellent glimpse into his feel for the power of silence.

Enough with the film theory...enjoy

Why I Love Movies...

2008-08-23T20:19:00.000-07:00

Every now and then it's nice to have a little reminder. Tim Burton is one of my favorite directors and I decided I was in the mood for a little film montage. The best films always inspire me to get to writing and creating. Of course half the time, once I'm home from the movies I've found someone more immediate to occupy my attention, but it's the thought that counts. Watch out, it's early in the evening, and I've got many more favorites...Kubrick, Fosse, Hitchcock...

MMMM movies...

Flash Forward

2008-08-21T21:31:00.000-07:00

I'm catching up on my Kathy Griffin Life on the D-List episodes and I have to say, I have a new hero. Kathy Griffin's MOM. After watching an episode I go to sleep and dream of being a sweet old person who always has a glass of wine in their hand and has HOT friends like Kathy's gay Patrick. I know he's signifigantly older than me but...whatever...yum.

Oh to be retired...

Nerd Alert (part II)

2008-08-20T18:53:00.000-07:00

So I've already talked about how excited I am about the new season approaching on I'll Drink to That but the previews for the new season of Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles have me all a twitter cause SHIRLEY MANSON from Garbage is acting as a reocurring character!! AWESOME. I realize this is only August and the excitement could be totally premature; who knows if she can act at all but still...EEEEEEEEE....excitement!

YAY Olympics!!

2008-08-18T21:25:00.001-07:00

They're a chance to celebrate the diversity of our world, skilled athletes performing at the top of their ability, and a chance to see Oussama Mellouli dripping wet!!

Who's up for a trip to Tunisia?

Where the hell is it?

Buckle Up, It's A Bumpy Ride

2008-08-17T22:47:00.000-07:00

Back in the late 90's I randomly caught this episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 with the Russian film Jack Frost. So if you've got 90 minutes to kill, here it is in it's fairy tale magical ridiculous entirety. Enjoy. And for those of you who watched bits and pieces on the VHS tape I wrangled this on to...enjoy AGAIN

It's so bad it's good OMG

Life is Silly

2008-08-04T15:12:00.000-07:00

To distract me from work, I took it upon myself to find graphics for a friend of mine under the search "bubbelicious."

And here they are...BUBES

Heaven Help Me, I've Done It Again!!

2008-08-01T23:31:00.000-07:00

That's right, another night on a weekend where I've started the beginning of a Project Runway marathon. Up now, Season 2. As a group, I'm not a huge fan, they're all kinda pissy pants. But they do have the lookers and now that cutie patootie Raymundo is gone, I need to see why my new boyfriend Nick didn't make it to fashion week.

See you all with the sunrise!

O M G ! !

2008-07-24T12:37:00.000-07:00

This is so close to the old Muppet Show, I'm very excited. Could this be the new generation of Muppety goodness? Viral Muppets on the internet? I had a case of viral muppets once...and now I'm sterile for life

WAKKA WAKKA WAKKA!!

Good Bye Ma!

2008-07-22T11:09:00.000-07:00

You sassy old broad.

Upon reaching the age that her character Sophia Patrillo was at the beginning of Golden Girls, Estelle Getty promptly kicked the bucket. Sadsies!

Saturday Morning Flashback

2008-07-19T18:35:00.000-07:00

On my latest fall into a YouTube hole, I've rediscovered the commercials I watched every Saturday as a kid. And then traveled back in time to see what Saturday mornings were like even before I was born. As fun as it was, listening to all the exciting music and seeing the flashing imagery, I think I know why my parents always sent me outside to play by about 11 or 12 o clock each Saturday :P. If I've done this right, the clips below should be in chronoglogical order, starting from the early 70's. It's like listening to my Pure Disco cds in commercial form! Enjoy!

It's been a long time since I've had a good laugh at an SNL skit.

Enjoy!

Baby Batter

2008-07-11T14:34:00.000-07:00

In the spirit of NBC humor, it's been forever since I've watched Conan O'Brian (what with my 8 o clock bed time cause I'm old) but I remember fondly his "If They Mated" segments. This mash up doesn't have the audience reactions and funny jokes he makes when he does the segment, but it really gets to the heart of the matter :).

I always loved when the audience would just groan loudly as soon as they saw who the couple was even before the baby picture was revealed.

Who's Up for a Wii Party?

2008-07-08T19:07:00.000-07:00

Are We Sick of Pride Yet?

2008-07-02T11:26:00.000-07:00

For whatever reason, I'm not. I searched this video for the boys but don't think I saw them.

See anyone you know?

My Pride Theme Song

2008-07-01T22:58:00.000-07:00

I don't care if it's after the fact. This clip from HR PuffNStuff goes right up there with Free to Be You and Me.

What else did I miss from the 70's?

More From Pride!

2008-07-01T15:39:00.000-07:00

It's about a month later, but here's me and my movie night buddy at Pride.

Yay movie night!

Friday was Valley of the Dolls and Beyond the Valley of the Dolls!

Next one will be Grey Gardens and The Beales of Grey Gardens

The one after that will be Beaches and Fried Green Tomatoes

FAGGOTS!!!

yay!

Getting Political

2008-06-21T12:41:00.000-07:00

Cause I'm watching documentaries and thinking there should be more than two states where I can married...

And I think I've posted this before, but it's still good.

Edu-ma-cation

2008-06-21T11:31:00.000-07:00

A lot of my friends think I'm kind of weird for taking time to watch old silent films and watch things no one would bother with now a days. And then I saw this...

Obviously that's not the original music.

HAPPY PRIDE Y'ALLS!!

Hey Matty, how was your Pride....?

Guess!

Please Don't Take My Man

2008-06-13T23:19:00.000-07:00

There's work related reasons I tracked this down, but also it's just a fabulous piece of Dolly. We'll have to check with Pakio and Matt to see if she actually performed it at her show once they go.

I do have one question. Why is she grinning like a moron while she's singing to the woman who's gonna steal her man...?

This Made My Brain Hurt

2008-06-12T21:03:00.000-07:00

This is worse than the Weezer video below.

To set the scene, the soundtrack is the original We Are The World recording. It's NOT the original performers. It's primarily American 80's stars filmed by a Scandanavian tv channel some time in the rather recent past. For some reason.

A few things heard uttered when watching this:
"When did Irene Cara get old?"
"the first time I saw Rick Springfield in his 50's I knew I wasn't a kid anymore"
"I'm sorry, my brain just oozed out my ear"
"AHHHH...it's Madam Mim from Sword and the Stone...oh wait...it's just Bonnie Tyler"
"god damn this song goes on...this...there's no words"
"I wonder how many kids starved to death while this song played"
" like they were standing off camera and the Pointer Sisters were all holding sandwhiches going "nooo, you can't have any"
"not until the song is OVER!"

Memory Lane...

2008-06-10T17:33:00.000-07:00

Wow...

How did my parents NOT know I was gay...

I'm trying to figure out if Ben Vareen did this before or after his stroke. Maybe it's just hard to get work when your most famous role was Judas...

He opened his mouth...

2008-06-09T11:10:00.000-07:00

...and a purse fell out. That's essentially the thought that kept floating through my head all yesterday at LA Pride. Not my line (it's actually from PNS Explosion) but it's apt. SOOOO MANY HOMOS!! And they were so pretty!

And I forgot to put on suntan lotion. So now I look like this:

All the pretty boys just ran away when I approached them, arms outstreched and said "MMMMM, GOOOOD!"

HAPPY PRIDE EVERYONE!

Self Referential...Post-Post Neo-Viral Awareness Bananas

2008-05-24T23:37:00.000-07:00

I can pretty much take or leave the song, but this viral video with stars of viral videos is another element of 21st Century pop culture which just caused me to have a stroke.

People Are So Silly!

2008-05-23T23:31:00.000-07:00

I hope everyone enjoys this new trailer from the upcoming Batman movie. It looks like they kind of skimped on the budget, but I can definitely see how Heath Ledger got sucked into that dark place that made him require fistfulls of anti-depressants.

Party in WeHo!!

2008-05-21T13:48:00.000-07:00

Matty's checking this out tonight with co-workers. Won't you join us?

Oldie But a Goodie

2008-05-14T13:04:00.000-07:00

Since I can't watch current television, I'm going back to refresh my memory on old television. And by old, I mean like 2003.

Keep up people!!

I Know No One Cares But...

2008-05-13T10:01:00.000-07:00

The Tony Nominees are out for this year!

To be quite honest, I'm not sure I care all that much either. I suppose I should be more excited when two of the best new musical nominees (Cry Baby and Xanadu)are from fabulous gay musicals of the 80's but...meh. I'm just not that interested this year.

Maybe I'm just bummed I can't muster up the $200 for a local Tony awards party hosted by Florence Henderson and guest starring Ms. Carol Channing! LA is NEATO. If only I could afford it...

Moving Day!

2008-05-03T08:56:00.000-07:00

After 40 days and 40 nights in WeHo. I'm moving to a cozy little studio in a town called Mar Vista, over by the beach and Sony Studios.

The first picture above is from the "front door." From the left is my wall heater, the closet, my kitchen (a mini-fridge and microwave) and my bathroom. The second picture is looking back at the front door while I stood next to the fridge.

It's all part of the adventure. I'll post more pics once I get things set up. Maybe I'll even have a bed by the end of May. WEEEE!

Thanks for all of your support everyone!

Food Poisoning...WEEEE

It's 4/20 WEEEE!

Here's a picture of me from last year. I hadn't shaved in a while and I'll be damned if I can remember what I did with that salad bowl on my head.

And while we're celebrating, it was 119 years ago today that bouncing baby boy, Adolf Hitler was born!

Lord, I need another hit...

2008-04-13T10:52:00.000-07:00

About F-ing time!

Seattle was up in the 70's and Los Angeles was toasty warm. Matty even went to the beach to ogle boys...I mean, write. The day was so nice, and Matty's so productive that he was actually able to do both. YAY!

Do you have any rituals to welcome the warm weather back?

Holy Moses!

I got tired of wandering the beaches in my basic black cocktail dress and decided it was time to get a job. So starting Monday I'll be working as administrative assistant to a Rabbi and a Cantor.

No foolin' I'm serious!

YAY new jobs!

And according to the "ccchhuuaaa" sounds this lady is making, I'm gonna need to down a super sized milkshake before I get in on Monday. CCCHHHUUUUAAA! CHUUUHHHAA!

Hope everyone had a great Sunday afternoon. Thanks to Veovix for posting this first and giving me something to share with all my friends out there.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to scrounge up some kleenex...

Matty's New Watering Hole

2008-03-26T19:58:00.000-07:00

It's just around the corner from my new place. I've been there once and it feels like home. A little more old mannish than I'm used to but it's not like I'm getting any younger, and it's just a stumble away.

Join me in a drink, won't you.

Mad Props and Shout Outs!!

2008-03-25T22:22:00.000-07:00

Listen to today's episode of Lucky Bitch Radio to hear Matty's call from the road to Wanda Wisdom thanking her for the inspiration to follow his dreams. Also, you can catch the subtle promotion of Galore Podcast! WOOT WOOT!!

The GAYEST Thing from 1953

2008-03-23T01:13:00.000-07:00

So I'm here in LA, enjoying the warmth and watching my netflix:

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes to be precise. And...wow! GAY!!

Behind the Power Curve

2008-03-19T02:28:00.000-07:00

Well we missed St. Patty's day, but that's alright cause Cinco De Mayo is just around the corner...kind of. Oooo first there's April Fools Day...

Anyway, tune in to a special episode getting posted on Thursday to hear about all the latest changes in the Galore pod-hosts lives.

In the meantime, suck on some satirical Showboat meets Cabaret meets Baby Jane from Broadway's Leading Ladies. Matty's first random PBS Broadway musical which just opened a big gay can of worms.

Fagalicious am I right, ladies?

For Seattle locals, don't forget to go see Cabaret playing at the 5th Ave theater starting Tuesday March 25th.

Thanks To Tom Coffee!

2008-03-10T09:08:00.000-07:00

Of Spilling Coffee.com for generously providing the the Corporate Vader picture in our last post. As anyone who normally reads the blog can probably tell, the pictures used are very rarely ours. This is primarily due to the free associative nature of the posts and how they're on-the-spot observations which don't provide the time to create our own set of photos. Our hats goes off to people who can take the time to create so much original content, it DOES make their blog that much more creative and original. We definitely don't mean to be stingy with the recognition because there's no way we could create the majority of images used to spice up this blog. But don't they make it that much more interesting?

So, going forward we will make more of an effort to recognize those who've provided us with a substaniative portion of our visuals. Perhaps you've already caught on to the irony that the above picture was perloined from Gift of Kindness.com, a site dedicated to inspiring others to be kind, compassionate, and loving to one another. Awwww.

Thanks to Tom Coffee (for bringing this issue to our attention), Gift of Kindness, and all the other websites who've helped Galore-y Blast to be the big colorful group effort it is. BIG GROUP HUG!!

Nerd Alert!

2008-03-07T09:19:00.000-08:00

The mood struck me to change my signature quote on my hotmail account. For whatever reason I thought of a perfect cynical yet thoughtful one from my past, but couldn't remember how it went.

So I googled the words I could recall. That didn't work. Then I remembered...I set up a geocities web page YEARS ago. On a whim, I tracked it down and...

My first web page.

I thought it had been deleted years ago. Maybe now that you can see it, I'll wish it had been.

My Hat Goes Off To You...

2008-03-04T11:25:00.000-08:00

...lady who does her make up on the bus. Firstly it's fun to watch the transformation. Secondly, how the hell do you not stab your damn eye out with the mascara stick?

KUDOS TO YOU!!

Sassy PANTS!!

2008-03-02T23:19:00.000-08:00

This clip is mildly old, but due to it's incredibly sassy nature (and calling out of Andy Dick) is still relevant. Enjoy!

Time to Strip!

2008-03-01T13:02:00.000-08:00

It's the first Saturday of the month and that can only mean one thing. PAY YOUR RENT!!

Ok, means two things. Rent and BACON STRIPS at Re-Bar starting at 11:30ish.

Above is footage from the first Bacon Strips Matty went to in November. 2 minutes in you get to see the FABULOUS Maxine Delacunt do a little ditty from Chicago.

Rumor has it this month she's got two numbers...

PS The theme is 70's porn. Slather on the blue eyeshadow and don't shave your pubes and you can get in for $5 instead of $7, AND possibly win prizes in the costume contest!

Happy Leap YEAR!!!

2008-02-29T13:11:00.000-08:00

To take a break from work, I did a little wikipedia-ing and found out information about this glorious February 29th day. Apparently it's a tradition that leap years are the only years when women can propose to men without being hussy tarts!. So listen up ladies, take a moment to be empowered! For another 305 days making your own call on who you want to marry doesn't mean your just a cunty strumpet.

And here is another comic I found searching for the one above. It cracked me up. I know, I'm a nerd!

Come On Girl, Shake That Ass!!

2008-02-26T09:07:00.000-08:00

In order to boost attendence at their games, the Florida Marlins have created a cheerleading squad of overweight guys called the MANatees.

2008-02-23T12:12:00.000-08:00

After a quick jet-setting trip to LA, Matty has landed a place in West Hollywood. Literally just a stroll down Santa Monica Blvd from the big RAINBOW FLAGS decorating the street AND a fancy pants mexican place.

Homos and margaritas...this move is going to ROCK!!!

Even 700 years Later...

...the exes come out of the woodwork. Sir Hugh [Tampon] Despenser wasn't a very nice guy AND was apparently boning King Edward II of England in the 1300s. And then he was brutally murdered by King Edwards wife when she took over the throne. Can you think of any exes you'd like to kill off who just wouldn't die? I can...

Hot Shit!

You're not changing the face with any of the costumes?? Really?! Ok...

Wikipedia's Just Being Mean...

Less than 24 hours after Mit Romney has dropped out of the presidential election, the article for the day is about John Smith's gold plates.

And if you look close, a recent article is famed popular conservative President, Ronald Reagan.

And to add insult to injury, scroll down and what's today's Featured Picture? John Edwards in front of an American Flag!

It's not nice to gloat, wikipedia.

We're predicting "breaking news" on CNN before it was even posted. While it may be a 38 year old story, WE talked about it first in 2008 on this weeks episode

Here's an in depth report with all the footage on CNN

Insurance is Fun!

I'd never seen this one before. Oh James Lipton...

Although this one is still my favorite. See how much being in the closet for 50+ years breaks your brain!

About time, it's freaking FREEZING here!

Happy Birthday LEGO!

2008-01-28T09:31:00.000-08:00

Remember those long Saturday afternoons when you made a LEGO wall all the way around the living room? What's the biggest/weirdest thing you've made with LEGOs?

It's Finally Happened

2008-01-24T08:09:00.000-08:00

Work has become so much a standard part of my routine now that I think I could honestly find myself on the bus one day without pants and the only thing stopping me is that my legs would be cold when I left the apartment.

The Kitchen Area at Work...

2008-01-24T08:04:00.000-08:00

...smells like the continental breakfast nook at a hotel. Mmmmm, warm things. Blech. What does your kitchen smell like?

My gay, gay ipod

2008-01-23T12:42:00.000-08:00

I'm fine owning up to my gayness in all it's forms, but seriously, if my ipod plays ONE more Electric Light Orchestra song on random today, I'm just gonna strip down to my purple unitard and skip through downtown Seattle with a streamer behind me!

"Benjamin Franklin Climbs 5,000 Stairs
(!!!)

Have you always dreamed of watching someone dressed like Benjamin Franklin climb 5,000 stairs? Today's your lucky day. This afternoon in the University of Washington's Red Square, historical presenter G. Robin Smith dons his Franklin garb and hauls himself up 5,000 stairs, to raise awareness and funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. (UW's Red Square, between Odegaard Library and Kane Hall, www.gobengo.info. 2–4 pm, free.)"

Maybe the Clap.

I'm Not Sure They Can Do a Gold Anniversary

Did anyone else know the Smurfs were 50 years old?

Apparently the TV cartoon didn't start until the 80's, but as characters, they've been around since 1958.

Which Smurf would you be?

Growing up is Hard!

2008-01-14T12:36:00.001-08:00

A slow day at work today let me to free associate on wikipedia where I started researching Thundercats. It was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid. And then I saw a picture of the guy who did Lion-O's voice...

I hoped maybe to improve my mood by looking up the voice of He-man but just found this...

...sigh...

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

2008-01-10T08:28:00.000-08:00

Saturday is Pakio's birthday and Monday is mine. Happy Birthday shout outs to all my Capricorn peeps!

As evidenced by the picture above, we're gonna rock and roll all night and party every day! Um...with a moose. Every kid looks like they've got something on their minds. What do YOU think they're thinking? Let us know.

And you know whoever is in that moose costume has a thought or two about ankle-biters.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Casual Friday Cums Early (ewww)

Looking up something about the upcoming birthday's, I found this. Thought it was cute. Especially since he bothered to put black socks on.

Sweet Lord!

That's right, it's My Little Pony Live.

Second Taint of the Year

2007-12-28T09:00:00.000-08:00

That's right, it taint Christmas and it taint New Years. Some year I just want to spend the week between Christmas Eve (Happy Birthday Mom!) and New Years Day drunk off my ass. Alcohol poisoning be damned!

Hope everyone had a safe and happy December Holiday and have an excellent New Year's Eve. Make sure you're near someone fun to kiss when that clock strikes twelve.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Must See for December

2007-12-16T21:44:00.000-08:00

If you want to be fancy pants and see live theater (and you're kicking yourself for missing The Women), go to the Seattle Public theater at the Bathhouse (sounds fun already, doesn't it?) and see the one man show of Santa Land Diaries. Pretty much a verbatim performance of David Sedaris' essay on working as an elf at Macys in New York. I really enjoyed the performance I caught on Friday.

Or if you're in the mood for film...

Go see Juno. It's a super cute film with excellent performance by the entire cast, a great script, and a fun Garden State-y soundtrack. Great humor paired with amazingly sweet moments which will make you all kinds of misty. Probably one of the most touching movies out this holiday season.

Let me know what you think!

Liza Minnelli collapses halfway through her set in Germany. But it seems she's ok.

Madonna is being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame. But it seems the fact that she's slowly turning into creepy British cat lady (look at this picture:
)caused them to reverse the honor and just get her a tin of Fancy Feast.

The Cutest Thing Ever!

2007-12-04T12:15:00.000-08:00

Found this through random web surfing. It's the banner for music reviews in the British rag "The Guardian". I love the little Abba people next to the little Frank Zappa person. I want to see a little Little Richard person. Or maybe all the Jacksons. And Dolly.

NEWS JUST IN:
I apologize, in fact it turns out THIS is the cutest thing ever.

So I was getting my Donna Summers (Summer? is that one of those things like Safeway/Safeways and Fred Meyer/Meyers?) groove on and decided to see what came up on google when I typed in that ridiculous song lyric. And here you go.

Not sure why things get all political in those first two (stupid blogger posting the last one first). And what's on that lady's chin below them?
