Eat the Husbear’s chicks and die… after he quit screaming like a little girl.

I have this method of ranking music in my library, which currently consists of 34,968 songs: By default, all new songs in my library get ⭐️⭐️⭐️. As I listen to them, I sort them as follows: ⭐️ means it’s “rubbish” (as Dr. Spo would say) and I’ll probably delete it from the library, ⭐️⭐️ means it’s just “meh” but I’ll probably keep it, ⭐️⭐️⭐️ means it’s okay and we will probably talk over it, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ means I really like and may potentially sing at random, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ means everyone better shut the fuck up because my song is on! You know the kind of songs I’m talking about. We all have them.

These are mine, one post at a time.

I’m starting my approach to this with songs I’ve given ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ to in iTunes. There’s only 90 of them at the moment. I’ll probably sneak in an occasional ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ as well.

And since Blobby is doing cover’s this month… 😉

I think I have way to many cover songs in my library. Well, I don’t think so. But the Husbear might beg to differ.

I’m a fan of a little gender swapping when it comes to many songs. Usually I prefer female covers of songs originally sung by men for some reason. But every now and again a male singer will come along and do justice to a song originally sung by a female.

That said, I present Quietdrive’s 2006 cover of Cyndi Lauper’s 1983 song “Time After Time”:

Until next time...

Pic a Day in May: May 31, 2015

And, it’s the last day of May, so it’s the last of the “Pic a Day in May” photos.

Today I spent most of the day doing chores around the house. One of them being cleaning the gutters.

My mind is in here somewhere...

I really dislike heights.

Jim, formerly of Jim’s Stuff, started the “Pic a Day in May” challenge three years ago. I’ve done it each year, and will continue since that’s all I pretty much post these days. The only other bloggers that I’m aware of who are also doing this are Blobby of Blobby’s Blog and Patrick of Pac’s Pad.

Until next time...

Pic a Day in May: May 30, 2015

Our buddy Ross is traveling for work, so I’m checking in on his cat while he’s out.

*le meow*
*le meow*

She’s a talkative thing.

So… I have this thing for Doctor Who, as you might have seen. It’s been there since I was a kid going all the way back to the 70s.

The soundtracks for the series since it’s restart in 2005 have been phenomenal. Murray Gold composed a piece called “I am the Doctor” (you can hear it here) for the Eleventh Doctor in an episode called “The Eleventh Hour”. It’s good.

But someone did it one better. Somehow. They made a dubstep version of it. While I’m not a fan of dubstep for the most part, I really like what it added to the composition.

Trust me, I’m the Doctor.

Until next time...
