Ha ha, I'm glad someone actually watched it. Besides being hilarious, it's such a catchy song. I bought it so I can listen in my car.

I made a YouTube playlist of a lot of my favorite music videos and live performances! I don't expect anyone to actually watch and listen, but after spending a couple of hours curating, it would feel wrong to not share.

Cant imagine you not enjoying this one too!

Actually sang live and holy smokes.

Thanks for your list.

Definitely a nice performance! Thanks for that.

New CDs appeared (almost like magic) in the mailbox! With online shopping, way too easy to spend money.

Excellent performances by all involved.

Mussorgsky

This is an SACD of recordings made in 1957 and 1959. I have not heard the stereo recordings, vinyl or CDs.
Good stuff. Very enjoyable.

CV, what a playlist! it's a retro tour for sure! A very fun listen! I just loved that your choices were so off the wall to me, it's great listening to new stuff.

Ha ha, a significant portion were definitely back-in-the-day picks. And I'm glad you liked some of them! Even if no one else listened, it's already come in handy to have on in the background when I'm doing stuff around the house. I like occasionally looking over at some of the visuals.

I've been enjoying some podcasts lately while increasing my Bejeweled score (300 million and counting), and Anthony Jeselnik's is among my favorites. If you're not familiar with his comedy, he has a couple of specials on Netflix to check out. People often comment on how well-crafted his jokes are, which I agree with, and it's nice to have the podcast as a flipside, where his sense of humor comes out in a much looser form.

Here's the latest episode if you want to hear one that had me laugh-coughing (still trying to shake some cruddiness after being exposed to COVID-riddled parents) during the ad segments he improvises.

The Jeselnik & Rosenthal Vanity... Gay Orgy, Adolf Hitler Wins, Roald Dahl

Listening to Paul Hardcastle again-
Return of the Rainman from the album The Chill Lounge Vol 1.

cheers,
Jeff
