-----------May 4, 2007Southern Gospel And StuffI've been browsing the results of typing "Southern Gospel" in the search engine at CDBaby.com, a website for independent artists. Some of the more interesting results include: 1. Bobby Lounge (not for the faint of heart - Doug Harrison blogged on this peculiarity some time ago - that bizarre booger can play some boogie woogie piano, though) 2. Big Nate (categorized as "Southern Gospel Rap" - I kid you not) 3. Ras Alan (Appalachian Reggae - "weaves southern gospel, roots reggae, early country, Jamaican ska, flatpicked bluegrass, the rhythmic elements of Rastafari and a lifetime of songwriting experience into a spiritually compelling fabric" - their words, not mine) 4. Mars Arizona (the first cut is sort of a female rockabilly sound, and the others are all over the stylistic map - may as well throw "southern gospel" in as a descriptor, I guess) 5. Committed (pretty good acappella music at this link, but it doesn't sound "Southern Gospel" to me) 6. Old Fashion Faithful ("Musically arranged and produced by Capricorn Records artist Keith Evans, 'Little is Much' is called the best work of his career" - their words, not mine - my mind reels with observations that are better left unsaid - sadly, one of the DJs at my local Southern Gospel radio station would play this stuff on the air if someone sent him a copy) 7. SGR Rhyme Family (for those who really enjoyed Big Nate and want to hear even more SGRap) Labels: Humor, Odds and Ends April 10, 2007PR Photography: Spit Out Your Gum!I'm honestly not doing anything here but having a good laugh. No hard feelings are meant by this post; please don't read that into this. I opened a Press Release via email recently with this high-resolution, professionally photographed image of Eighth Day announcing a talent search to replace a member of their team. This image is what I saw:  A closer look, thanks to such high resolution, shows that Mr. D in the middle likes his chewing gum! -Daniel Britt Labels: Advice, Humor, In The News, Observations February 17, 2007France, A Country With A Walmart Level Of IntelligenceWatch this Google video clip. It's from a French version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? If you aren't up on your French, the question is, "What revolves around the earth?" Possibly answers are: A - the moon, B - the sun, C - Mars, and D - Venus. What is so sad isn't just that the guy incorrectly chose answer B. Before giving his answer, he polled the audience, and 52% of them also thought the correct answer was the sun. Labels: Humor, Sad But True February 12, 2007Statesmen As Puppets...Too FunnyAlan Kendall found this clip on You Tube and linked to it from his blog. I don't think there's too much in the way of explanation required. Just watch it. Labels: audio, Humor, Other Blogs, You Tube February 10, 2007Bring On The Limericks!Limericks...
In anticipation of what could possibly be a rash of this most hated form of poetic expression, let's go ahead and assign the blame right up front... Dean Adkins started this. You've probably already read Dean's first effort over at averyfineline.com, but here's another he sent to both me and Doug "for the file." (Maybe Dean meant file #13...oh well...too late for that!) There once was a singer named Les Whose voice became quite a mess The Boys had a meeting And gave him this greeting "To be better we need less of Les" And here's my own initial contribution to the coming onslaught. There was a quartet called Signature Sound, The boldest quartet to ever be found. They caused a big scare, With their ties and their hair, And dance moves that made MC Hammer's profound. Got more? Bring 'em on!
