Be it your sister. Be it your brother.

Let’s get some music up in this place starting with a little bit of Pauline Black and the Selecter covering The Specials AKA’s “Racist Friend.” If you search youtube for the title you’ll also get the original, but also They Might Be Giants’ song as well. They are not the same song.

More ska please. Less racism.

Get up and dance at your desk if you enjoy this…

Acoustic Tak!

Every other day, my favorite Ho-kago Tea Time song changes. One day it’s “Fude Pen,” and another day I slip back to loving “Fuwa Fuwa Time.” Then I chase them down on YouTube to see how other folks interpret the songs.

Love this acoustic version of “No, Thank You!” that maybe, currently, at this moment, it’s my favorite. Oops! Just heard the piano arrangement of “Fuwa Fuwa Time.” Here we go again.

Hoot for Girls’ Generation

Who doesn’t like cute girls running around your computer screen in the morning? Is this better than coffee?

I had always thought that those asian girl groups where too big. I still do. You can barely tell the girls’ voices apart in this song. It’s tough to put faces to verses. They’re all starting to look the same: cute!

Korean always sounded harsh on my ears. Looking at these girls while they sing, now it doesn’t.

“Well, you take a human being and assign a dollar value to his head. It’s the devil’s work, Dave. It’s bad hoodoo”

You sometimes need Sabbath! I went searching for their second album on iTunes, but found to my misfortune that it hasn’t been released for digital download. I also checked Amazon, found that to be true, and then headed off to Best Buy to purchase the CD. They don’t sell any more CDs at Best Buy though, because the music section has shrunk dramatically. I ended up getting it at Record and Tape Traders.

Anyway, I ended up on YouTube watching people play on Rock Band or Guitar Hero and thought that you, too, could use some Sabbath. You sometimes need Sabbath!

Paper Planes Covered

The Clientele covers M.I.A.

Was listening to the several of the covers on AV Club Undercover, and found some enjoyment with this cover of M.I.A’s “Paper Planes.” I liked the Telecaster and I liked the violins. I liked the fact that it’s a cover a tune that makes use of a loop from an 8-bit version of the Clash’s “Straight To Hell.” That’s music in this day and age.
