Guitar boat

Ahhh … people are interesting. This is a cool picture. And it’s of musician Josh Pyke as he filmed the video for his song, “Make You Happy.” The special boat was created to the exact specifications of the Maton acoustic guitar that he plays. For the record, Pyke does not regularly ride through the Sydney

Golden Slumbers juggler

“Holy crap! Check out this expert juggler performing with the classic Beatles song, “Golden Slumbers/The End.” Your mind will officially be blown. (Also, you might notice some interesting number patterns going on here … he’s keeping beat with music in 4/4 time … while juggling three balls … with two hands. It’s beautiful.) Thank you

“Bottle It Up”

So, I recently discovered Sara Bareilles on the radio. And wow! She’s really good. Definitely one of the best singer/songwriters out there today. I missed her recent concert in my neck of the woods. But I heard it was great. It’s always cool—and rare—when a musician’s live performances are better than their studio recordings. But,

“Our House”

When I was a kid, I loved the song, “Our House” by the British band, Madness. In fact, it’s still a great song … with classic lyrics about a young family growing up. The tune has a Beatles’ “Penny Lane” flavor. And an upbeat melody that paints a happy picture of a good childhood. There

Are those machine gun straps?

A few years ago, the band Blues Traveler had some big hits. And their lead singer, John Popper, was an unlikely rock star. He is heavier than most famous musicians. So he rocks a different image. But, hey … that didn’t really matter. Because he is a super-talented guy. And he’s especially good at playing

King of Anything

Good news … the world is still full of really good (new) music. Yep, I found out this week as I was driving in my car. Flipping through the radio stations, I didn’t have high hopes. After all, the airwaves are often a musical wasteland. But, just for kicks, I turned to a new station

Great balls of fire

You know, nothing says “summer” like the song “Great Balls of Fire” by Jerry Lee Lewis. It’s a great melody, but the video might be even better. I can’t explain the sudden mood lighting … or the reason Lewis keeps looking at the ceiling. But, hey, that doesn’t matter:

Relaxation CDs and ships in a bottle

Relaxation CDs are interesting … because they make me so relaxed. Maybe it’s just that I need to get more sleep. But if one of those tracks starts to play on my iPod, I zone out almost immediately. In fact, the calming music is so soothing that it’s kind of got me confused. I mean, how do

Quiz #8

In the world of cinema, Alfred Hitchcock is still known as one of the greatest directors of all time. He was a master of suspense, scaring the [living daylights] out of audiences around the world. Some of his best movies include “Psycho” (1960), “Vertigo” (1958), “Dial M for Murder” (1954), and “Rear Window” (1954). In

You say it’s your birthday

All this talk about happy birthdays has got me thinking about another great song for celebrating life … “Birthday” by The Beatles. Written in 1968, “Birthday” was released as a single by the band—becoming an instant favorite for millions of people. It’s even more energetic than the traditional tune “Happy Birthday.” And it features a 1950s
