New Blog!
Hey everyone.
So, because I spend a weird amount of time thinking about old music videos and my relationship with them, I’ve decided to collect all of them in diary format. This is mostly for my own benefit - to organize my thoughts, reveal patterns, etc. But on the off-chance that anyone else is interested in my musings, the blog can be found at:

(If you click on the link, you may notice that the first post features 0 divas and few honeys, but don’t be alarmed. This will end up being an outlier. I promise.)

Video of the Day: The Andrew Sisters singing “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” in the 1941 Abbott and Costello movie Buck Privates
I Swear This Happened Organically
Alex: This summer is gonna be filled with so much Lumpy, I don't know if I'm gonna be able to Handel it.
Mara: Let's make a Liszt of things we should do this summer!
Alex: We should wait til we both get Bach though.
Mara: Sure sure but if i knew in advance what kinda stuff we'll be doing, i could arrive with the appropriate Schumann.
Alex: I might get a job Chopin wood so I might be busy, but we'll work something out.
Mara: You're gonna be a lumberjack? Have you gone completely Mendelssohn?
Alex: Well, it would certainly Beethoven cleaning, that's for sure.
Alex: Also, we have to go swimming so I can hook up with a hot lifeguard and finally get my hands on some Dvorak.
Mara: As long as we stop at Moe's on the way. I heard they just redecorated, and there ain't nothing better than Mozart.
Alex: I like Moe's, but I heard Starbucks has this new Tchaikovsky I've been meaning to try.
Mara: Damn you! I was just about to do tchaikovsky. We could go to gold club and watch the strippers tchaikovsky their clothes!
Alex: Lololol. Well, all I care about is if the strippers take off their Brahms.
Mara: Absolutely. I will Bruckner refusal about that.
Alex: Forewarning: if a stripper comes onto me, imma Mahler.
Mara: Dude, if strippers come on to ME, ima Rachmaninoff if you know what i mean.
Alex: I ain't about to be playa Haydn, it's all gravy baby.
Mara: Good because i'm Verdi excited about this!
Alex: Hell yeah, I'm gonna hop on Debussy and go straight home now to prepare.
Mara: Pet the lumpy and kick back with some nice raspberry Schubert.
Alex: I'm gonna Ravel in summertime fun, I tell you what.
Mara: Amen. I want a nice Strauss-free vacation.
At the risk of sounding crusty, I wish there were contemporary girl groups who could excite me as much as TLC and Salt-n-Pepa still do. This age of solo artists is over-rated; I think there’s more power to be admired in a badass sisterhood than in a single strong figure like Beyonce, love her as I do.
