A very happy 94th birthday wishes to the pioneer of the guitar, Mr. Les Paul. Awesome video from 10 years ago of him performing some of his old hits from the 1950’s. He truly is the guitar iron man.

Paul McCartney is officially opening concerts at Citi Field, the New York Mets home baseball park. He will be performing on July 17th and 18th, 44 years after the Beatles played at Shea Stadium, the Mets old park. Should shape up to be an incredible concert with special guests and unbelievable music.

This link will lead you to one of the most awesome game trailers. It is for The Beatles: Rock Band and it sure looks like it is going to be an incredible game. Get your rock band group together and draw straws for who has to sing because finally people are going to want to be you Ringo (Just Kidding, I love you Ringo).

This is the trailer for Taking Woodstock which is set to premiere on August 14th. It is about a young man who attempts to save his parent’s motel by allowing Woodstock to occur on his land for profit. Unexpectedly, he sets off a culturally defining moment in history. Demetri Martin stars as the teen. This should be interesting. The movie also stars Eugene Levy, which assures to me I will love the film, and it is directed by Ang Lee, so as long as Hulk does not make a cameo we should all be fine.

Lyrics provided by Mississippi John Hurt. This is some real Monday Morning Blues!

I woke up this morningMississippi John Hurt
I woke up this morning
I woke up this morning with the Monday morning blues

 

I couldn’t hardly find
I couldn’t hardly find
I couldn’t hardly find my Monday morning shoes

Monday Morning Shoes

I wear Pokemon on Tuesday

Song of the Day #12

8 Jun

Alright today is Monday, in case anybody forgot and is now running super late for work. Monday means misery for some and for others, like myself, it means a wealth of music to choose from. I must apologize for all the themed music and I promise I will stop myself from continuing to pull convenient daily songs from my musical head but today I just could not help it.

                  “Monday, Monday” by the drama and Doughnut-filled The Mamas And The Papas first appeared in the musical world in 1966. The song was written by John Phillips (Papa John, yes the original Papa John) who actually was a pretty talented song writer even years after the end of The Mamas And The Papas. The end of The Mamas And The Papas that came in 1967 and then again in 1968 because first Cass Elliot (Mama Cass), who was rather over-weight, was insulted by John Phillips (most likely Yo’ Mamma So Fat) in front of a young Mick Jagger. She was so embarrassed and insulted she left the band and then came back and then left again after wanting to embark on a solo career that culminated in heart failure in 1974.

            Okay now to the song. Phillips has an odd relationship with Mondays. According to the song, Monday’s are good to him but then they make him cry (possibly because they are leaving without him? Leaving in favor of the abusive Tuesday?) I find this to be an interesting predicament and almost certainly a catch-22 that can make your head swirl. Let us leave it that he was confused. The song is great though. A catchy piece of vocal harmonies and a good lead croon by Denny Doherty. Fun Fact: First song by a sexually integrated group to reach #1 on the charts. Leading the way for such bands like No Doubt and Black Eyed Peas, almost certainly posing the question what is going on.

It's the chronic (what) cles of Narnia. Enjoy your own lazy Sunday
Lazy Sunday
Lazy Sunday, wake up in the late afternoon. 
Call Parnell just to see how he’s doin’. 
Hello? 
What up, Parns? 
Yo Samberg, what’s crackin’? 
You thinking what I’m thinkin? 
NARNIA. 
Man, it’s happenin’. 
But first my hunger pains are stickin’ like duct tape. 
Let’s hit up Magnolia and mack on some cupcakes. 
No doubt that bakery’s got all da bomb frostins. 
I love those cupcakes like McAdams loves Gosling. 
Two, no six, no twelve, BAKERS DOZEN. 
I told you that I’m crazy for these cupcakes, cousin. 
Yo, where’s the movie playin’? 
Upper west side, dude. 
Well, let’s hit up Yahoo Maps to find the dopest route. 
I prefer Map Quest. 
That’s a good one, too. 
Google Maps is the best. 
True that. 
DOUBLE TRUE. 
68th and Broadway. 
Step on it, sucka. 
What you wanna do, Chris? 
SNACK ATTACK, MOTHERF*** 
It’s the Chronic (what?) 
Cles of Narnia 
Yes, the Chronic (what?) 
Cles of Narnia 
We love that Chronic (what?) 
Cles of Narnia 
Pass that Chronic (what?) 
Cles of Narnia 
Yo, stop at the deli. 
The theater’s over-priced. 
You’ve got the backpack? 
Gonna pack it up nice. 
Don’t want security to get suspicious. 
Mr. Pibb and Red Vines equals CRAZY DELICIOUS! 
I’ll reach in my pocket, pull out some dough. 
Girl actin’ like she never seen a $10 before. 
It’s all about the Hamiltons, baby. 
Throw the snacks in a bag and I’m ghost like Swayze. 
Roll up to the theater. 
Ticket buying, what we’re handlin’. 
You can call us Aaron Burr. 
From the way we’re droppin’ Hamiltons. 
Now parked in our seats. 
Movie trivias the illest. 
Which Friends alum starred in films with Bruce Willis? 
We answered so fast it was scary scary. 
Everyone stared in awe when we screamed Matthew Perry. 
Now quiet in the theater or it’s gonna get tragic. 
We’re bout to get taken to a dream world of magic with… 
the Chronic (what?) 
Cles of Narnia 
Yes, the Chronic (what?) 
Cles of Narnia 
We love that Chronic (what?) 
Cles of Narnia 
Pass that Chronic (what?) 
Cles of Narnia
