Damon Albarn’s performance of “The Universal” on The Jonathan Ross Show from a few year’s back is perfection. This is my favorite Blur song, and this live performance on just piano and with all of the string instruments is peak for me. Nothing needs to be changed. Pure perfection.
📼 Nala’s Music Video of The Day 📼
Eddie Izzard | “Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite” (2007) “Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite” from 2007’s film musical “Across The Universe” is probably one of the trippiest segments in the film. 100% Julie Taymor. 100% She’s just got that very specific Taymor style. I love it.

New Order | “Regret” (1993) I needed some early 90’s New Order today. So the “Republic” album it is.
💫 I’d like to see this from a world perspective. 💫

So we watched the pilot for the new “The Muppet Show” on Disney+. My father and I used to watch the original show every week when I was a kid. It was at times brilliant and managed to tread that fine line of humor that kids could laugh at as well as adults. (Not something…
🎧 Jamiroquai’s “Space Cowboy” (1994) 🎧
I have had Jamiroquai’s “Space Cowboy” stuck in my head for about 2 weeks now. I have just been hearing “…this is the return of the space cowboy” constantly in my head. I used to sing “…this is the return of the poopy dachshund” to my belove dog from long ago, and when the Dewfer…
🎧 Yazoo’s “Nobody’s Diary” (1983) 🎧
I have been going crazy wanting to listen to the great Alison Moyet’s voice lately. There are just no female singers like here today in pop music.
🎧 Across The Universe Soundtrack (Deluxe Edition) 2007 🎧
I very much love the Julie Taymor film Across The Universe. I think it did a remarkable job of incorporating and weaving Beatles’ songs into the fabric of the story, which more or less come from the lyrics. Many of the song renditions are excellent, and Jim Sturgess’ vocals hit me in the feels on…
Where I’ve been?
While I did some of my morning greetings on some of my socials, I haven’t really been online much since I have not been in The Studio of Loveâ„¢ for almost 3 weeks. I had my hip replaced January 14 and have been dealing with post-surgery recovery fun. Quite frankly, it was the best possible…
Now this is kind of cool.
He also got me a glass Blinky (Three-eyed fish) suncatcher from The Simpsons. Funny to think Blinky is 37-years-old now! This’ll go in the kitchen window once I get a suction cup hook.
