I’ve never really cared for Fly Away. I know it was one of his biggest hits, but I always felt like Lenny Kravitz totally phoned it in and got extraordinarily lucky. But this Larkin Poe version? It kind of rules. Nice harmonies and some great slide guitar. This is how it always should have sounded.

Keep E-Comm And Carry ON
The annual stupid ass reasons why people called 911 lists are starting to come out. E-Comm, one of the dispatch systems in British Columbia, is out with its top 10. Some are fairly standard, but you can definitely see the COVID influence creeping in. To complain that a food delivery driver did not deliver a meal. […]
That’s Quite The Commentary Team, Impact
Impact has made some interesting choices for its new announce team. I hope it works out. Impact gets more right nowadays than it gets wrong so I trust them more on this than I would have a few years ago, but still, interesting. If I’ve ever heard D’Lo Brown do commentary, I don’t remember it. […]
Under Pressure Covered By Willie Nelson And Karen O From The Yeah Yeah Yeahs
I have no idea what to make of this. My main takeaway is that Willie sounds extremely old in it.
Here Comes Dumb George
It’s always a little disappointing when somebody whose contributions to your entertainment you’ve enjoyed goes and ruins everything by showing himself to be kind of a moron. Hopefully I’ll still be able to listen to most Van Morrison without wanting to reach through whatever speaker I happen to be close to so I can punch […]
Good Boy! Who’s A Furry Little Omelette?
Barb wrote me about some assholes running a puppy scam in Kingston, Ontario. “I want to feel sorry for the people who got scammed,” she says. “But then I read the best sentence I’ve ever read in my life.” She’s not wrong. It’s quite fantastic. These malicious pet shop sites sometimes include poorly written testimonials […]
I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) Is Now A Country Rock Song Thanks To The Vandoliers
I think I probably like this, but I’ll need a few more listens to be sure. It was a bit jarring at first not hearing the Scottish accents, but I got used to it. I bet it would be fun as hell to watch live.
I Can’t Drink Lies!
Simply Orange’s slogan is blatantly dishonest. Ok, so a lot of things about orange juice Simply Orange included are blatantly dishonest, but for now we’ll stick with the damn slogan. “What happens in the orange stays in the orange.” Oh really, fools? Your product is orange juice. Orange juice, the very existence of which is […]
All Of The Business COVID Commercials AT Once
I realized that everybody’s “in these uncertain times, we’re still here for you, we’re all in this together” ads were pretty much the same, but it’s sort of amazing just how similar they truly are. Corporate Covid-19 response videos are eerily similar. *Cue somber piano music* When a company or brand releases a Coronavirus Response […]
You’ll Have Some Explaining To Do When U-Haul Yourself To The Emergency Room
If you don’t have time to watch the news video or in case it gets pulled and I have to clue future me in to where to start looking for a replacement, this is basically what happened. A man, a term I use loosely in this case, was arguing with a woman that police and […]
