Walkin' on the Sun ~ Garden PicSpam

It was officially 95 degrees (35,C) where I live yesterday, but my daughter saw a bank sign in downtown Chattanooga that said 100 degrees. There was also an Air Quality warning for Ozone. I'm hoping for clouds today.

I keep promising to post pictures of my garden, so today is everyone's lucky day [/sarcasm]


And now a song that seems appropriate: "Walking on the Sun" by Smash Mouth.



 

Summer Nights

I read this morning that the actress who played the ditzy school secretary in the movie Grease, Dody Goodman, has passed away.

Obituary in San Fran Chronicle

So that made me think of this song ~ Summer Nights ~ which seems appropriate as we sit around all summer waiting for either a verdict in the Lexicon case or the trailer to HBP (hopefully both!).

Music from Tim Russert's Funeral

I've never been a fan of Tim Russert, and I think his funeral services have gone on way too long. However, the memorial yesterday afternoon was very touching, and there were great eulogies by Tom Brokaw, Maria Shriver, Brian Williams, and his own son, Luke.

"The Boss," Bruce Springsteen showed up by satellite TV to play "Thunder Road," which actually wasn't that good because he slurred so many words that it was basically meaningless. 

However, just before that, Russert's brother-in-law, the jazz guitarist Tony Scozzaro, played a virtuouso performance of "Born to Run" that was one of the best TV moments I've seen because it was so unexpected.

If the YouTube becomes available I'll post it. So far the sound is distorted on all of them. 


Snape-We-Sort-to-Soon
Just because:
A. It's Friday.
B. People were invoking this song about the James and Sirius Prequal.
C. There's a Tom Petty song for every occasion.
D. [info]saiphgrl wrote about going to a Tom Petty Concert
E. Johnny Depp is in this video!




One thing we haven't talked about is the whole "rock star" aspect of the Marauders. In the Prequal they are wearing those Phoenix t-shirts and their wands are like Drumsticks. Is this a joke about Stubby Boardman? Or were the Marauders more like Spinal Tap? Please Discuss (seriously, sarcastically, or any way you like). 

Have a Great Weekend! 

Waiting Till the End of the Line

I meant to post this a while back, but I made some icons a few weeks ago from those new Russian Book Covers and posted them on [info]book_icons ~ Here. I also made some based on To Kill a Mockingbird, The Chronicles of Prydain (Lloyd Alexander), and The Borrowers. I posted a bunch of "Flambards" icons from the TV mini-series Here.

I also found a funny Alan Rickman icon made by [info]xintax      from the movie "John Gissing" and some beautiful banners Here.

Rest in Peace For At Least One Day

The last two days have been . . . well . . . let's just say I'm tired of typing.

So here's a post just for fun because unless there is major breaking news, 
I may take tomorrow off from the Blog-o-sphere.
.

First we have "Mr. Bill Goes to Court" from Saturday Night Live.



Next: From Buffy the Vampire Slayer ~

I love this song by Gordon Lightfoot, and this video of Canadian Veterans has some images that remind me of Severus Snape. For my real friends, of course!


An American Tune ~ April Come She Will

I'm feeling a bit patriotic these days with the election and all, but it makes me sad that so many people are having bad times right now, so I was thinking about all the best things about the U.S. and New York City, and thought of a song that says it all:

Simon and Garfunkel in Central Park


And because this song is so beautiful:

John Cougar Mellencamp, famous heartland musician from Indiana, was taken into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last night!
Great Article Here

I can't embed his videos, but here are a few I like the most: Check it Out. Small Town, and Paper in Fire

I've been a fan since his first big hit "Jack and Diane" back in the eighties, and I love all his songs. He is a song-writers song writer, and a great American singer (not a fool at all!). My favorite line from any of his songs is "She calls me baby - she calls everybody baby." :) I have been known to call people "babe" myself, much to their alarm. I have also been known to quote that line "I fight authority, authority always wins" on Harry Potter forums, when one of my posts has been unceremoniously deleted. Probably his truest line is "Another boring romantic, that's me." Congratulations, John Cougar!

Three things happened in the world of the Beatles. The first two were clearly planned together, but the third is a weird coincidence.

It all makes me wish George Harrison and John Lennon were around to comment, so instead, I'll just post two videos under the cut. The first is "Crackerbox Palace" by George, and the first music video I ever saw. They broadcast it on Saturday Night Live when I was in high school. The second is John Lennon's "Mind Games" played as he visits Central Park.
 

Enjoy! )

Duran Duran Love

I'm interrupting my boring legal posts with a great video of the beautiful song "An Ordinary World" by Duran Duran in their magnificence. This song and video reminds me of someone . . . I wonder who?  Let's just say all the guys in this video are wearing black.

Escapist Video - The B-52's "Roam"

I was going to post another Christmas video, but I'll spice it up with a Big 80s hodgepodge called "Roam" by one of my favorite bands, the B-52's!

This reminds me of one of my world-travelling friends, [info]clair_de_lalune 

So sing along at the top of your lungs (as I do) or get up and dance!

[info]ms_arithmancer gave me this meme. I've paired it up with one of my favorite holiday movies - Raymond Briggs "The Snowman" - and a really pretty animation and song from the movie about flying to the North Pole. The song is "Walking in the Air" with Aled Jones:
