Three songs. Three letters in May. Coincidence?

[time again for the MySpace mirror]

Actually, yes.

KKCK:

Maroon 5 featuring Rihanna “If I Never See  Your Face Again”
I am getting a major 80s vibe from this song.  I can’t think of an 80s song it reminds me of, but I think it could be shot back in time and be a hit.  It will be a huge hit now, and it is nice to see a collaboration that isn’t purely on the hip-hop side. 

Boys Like Girls “Thunder”
Stop!  Ballad time!  BLG usually sounds overproduced, but this song even sounds overproduced for them.  Then again, I have three Boston albums on my iPod, so who am I to criticize for overproduction?

Rehab “Sittin’ at a Bar”
This song will do well for the simple fact most listeners either (A) know somebody like this or (B) are somebody like this.  The rest just like hearing songs about it. 

Pick to click: The rare 3-way tie.  All of these songs have massive potential in our area. 

I kept telling my fellow BSG watcher that something big was building.  He doubted me up until the last episode.  The two weeks between episodes (what, SciFi fans don’t watch TV Memorial Day weekend?) will seem a lot longer.  At the same time the final season has been on SciFi, I’ve been watching the final season of Deep Space Nine on Spike.  Watching two different Ron Moore series come to their ends has been interesting.  I’d say no one wraps up a show like he does (I must confess I’ve seen the last episode of DS9, but none from the rest of season seven). 

The hype is palpable around here for the return of ol’ Indy.  The second time I ever set foot in a movie theater was for Raiders of the Lost Ark while visiting my brother in Lander, Wyoming.  Granted, nowadays most kids wouldn’t bat an eyelash towards that film.  I had spent most of my life with black and white TV and very little action/violence in my entertainment diet.  I won’t say the movie scarred me or anything, but some of the scenes left me very uneasy, and I still feel a bit odd when I think about the film.  I haven’t seen it since, and I’ve skipped the other two as well.  If I make it to Crystal Skull and enjoy the ride, it might be time to borrow the other three.

I’ve been listening to more Flight of the Conchords lately.  I thought I had been listening to the new Death Cab, but there’s a funny story about that.  I was set to feature the CD on this past week’s Shag, but upon listening to the CD before the show to pick songs, I made a choice to look up the lyrics on line, just in case DC4C let a swear slip through.  After checking all the songs and lyrics, it became obvious something didn’t match.  A quick wiki and google search later it became obvious that the burn copy I had was in fact the April Fool’s hoax copy of the album, featuring one DC4C song and a bunch by a sound-similar band from Germany called Velveteen.  One quick trip to the store later, I had the right album.  I didn’t have time to listen, so I just went with the track numbers I’d picked from the fake version.  As of this writing, I still haven’t had a chance to listen to the right album.

Kate and I went to our second parenting class last night.  The first half hour was the “what can go wrong talk” which was…interesting.  I knew a lot could go wrong, but I had no idea how wrong.  After that it was a talk on C-sections and some practice with baby dolls for bathing and swaddling.  Our instructor told us there was no wrong way to wrap a baby, to which I turned to Kate and said “Oh, I’ll find a way.”

This weekend the plan is to head to Veblen for a night.  I’m hoping to try this video blog thing, and I’ll either post it here or one of my other blogs, which I’ve now linked to on my main page.  Whatever you do this Memorial Day Weekend, do it safely. 

Type at ya later.
