I just read Lesley Gore died. This is still one of my all-time favorite songs to sing loudly, and usually off-key. She was in some meh beach films, but she rocked as TV Catwoman’s sidekick, Pussycat.

Morris Day & The Time
When I hear that Uptown Funk song I immediately think of Morris Day & The Time. Even Bruno Mars’ dance moves seem like a variation of “The Bird”
Grammys
Watching some Grammy stuff since I skipped it for Walking Dead and Better Call Saul (both awesome!) Some thoughts no one really needs:
-So far nothing is better than Bob Mould on Letterman Friday night! 
❤
-I did not expect Hozier to look like Neil Gaiman but now I get why The Current overplays him
-I did expect Sam Smith to look like Boy George
-Mary J Blige sings that Sam Smith song so much better
-Beyonce does have a beautiful voice even though I don’t intentionally listen to her music
-Annie Lennox is still awesome but I guess someone forgot her harmonica..wth?
-Wanted to watch Beck, saw Chris Martin too so I ran
-Jesse J & Tom Jones > Lady GaGa & Tony Bennett but this trend needs to die
-Katy Perry stole Lupita Nyong’o 2014 Oscar dress and Fred Astaire’s shadow dancers. I miss the shark!
-Kristen Wiig seems really talented, someone should hire her for a Ghostbusters movie
-Common and John Legend seem to have a nice tune, I will probably hear it again at the Oscars, right?
-Wait, is that ELO? What’s up with ELO? ELO??
-I can’t see Ed Sheeran without thinking Harry Potter but I like him better than Sam Smith
-AC/DC was pretty good but impossible to find a video since YouTube is full of weird reviews from bedrooms or fake news studios. Ugh.
-Best crowd shots are of Taylor Swift who seems to really enjoy every performance. Worst crowd shot is of Nicole Kidman who I knew couldn’t move her face but also can’t move her body.
-I don’t get Madonna’s performance but she sure is quite the performer. Also, I can’t see a minotaur without thinking American Horror Story..ick.
I give up. Now onto Austin City Limits and The Foo Fighters.
Bob Mould
Video from 30 years ago at First Avenue…less jumping tonight but he did blow a snot rocket. The pit was mostly head bobbing but Bob Mould can still rock…for 75 min.
Judy Henske
I watched a random old ‘movie’ that was a showcase of 60s folk music, and Judy Henske stood out above all, a bit obsessed with her voice now.
Jake Johannsen
This was my favorite comedy special of the 90s and still makes me laugh today…the references are so last century it is a walk down memory lane.
Looking for different covers of my favorite holiday tunes and I found this version of “Baby, It’s Cold Outside”
Sweet
So fun (and easy) playing DJ for people I have known 30+ years. I need to stay up just 1 more hour so I can say I made it a full 24…I don’t think I have done that this century.
This is the kind of music I feel like hearing today….
Music for Procrastination
This week I have been revisiting and rediscovering some past musical crushes. Here are a few to enjoy:
Sometimes I forget about the Buzzcocks and then when I start listening to them again I have to binge to make up for lost time.
“Teenage Kicks” is an all-time favorite tune that I enjoy as much today as when I first heard it.
It was hard to pick just one Jam tune as there is so much awesome.
