This one’s for Carin and my other Star Trek loving friends. Me? I have no idea who anyone is here, but I enjoyed it all the same. In the grand tradition of Star Trek captains singing holiday standards, for your consideration: “Wonderful Deep Space Nine” sung by Captain Sisko, Major Kira, Constable Odo, Lieutenant Commander …

Christmas Music And Grammar. Two Of Everyone’s Favourite Things, Together AT Last
I’ll confess. Until I listened to this, I had given exactly no seconds of thought to God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen’s proper comma placement. In fact I’ve seen it written so many times without one that I wasn’t even sure one was necessary. But I also see a lot of “God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen”, …

I’m Home…For Now
I know we’re supposed to be done with Christmas music, but don’t even try telling me you’re not hitting play on Deck the Halls sung to the tune of War Pigs no matter what time of year it is. I’m back from part one of the Christmas vacation, and Carin should be walking in any …

Music Playing Kid: Alberto Cartuccia Cingolani, Five-Year-Old Classical Pianist
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIaWMybDZoc I remember being five years old and playing piano. The first song I learned had three or four notes in it and was played entirely with one hand. I didn’t get much better from there. I could pick some basic things out by ear and I stuck with piano lessons for several years, but …

Christmas Is Interesting
I heard this depressing Christmas song the other day, not the one I referenced in the title though, and I wasn’t going to post it, but it won’t leave me. lyrics are here. So…Christmas is nearly here. How did that happen. I feel like it snuck up on me. Whenever I ask anyone else, they …
Christmas Carol Lyrics You Won’t Hear At The Mall
I saw this the other day and I wasn’t sure if I was going to post it. Then I was walking around the Christkindl Market and listening to carols, and my mind was converting them to these ones…so I decided it needed a spot. I guess this showed up on Jimmy Kimmel Live last year. …

Without Me, Bluegrass Style
I’m a big fan of rap songs being turned into other things (acoustic ballads are my favourite), so it was pretty hard not to enjoy this for it’s pure ridiculousness. Ladies and gentlemen, Marshall Mathers & His Saggy Bottom Boys! If I’m ever in a band again, I hope part of our show can be …
Finally, A Metallica Song I Enjoy!
That’s not quite true. there are a couple I don’t mind once in a while, but even though I can recognize that they are extremely talented and I have no really good reason for not liking them, I just don’t. Never have. And let me tell you, I had a handful of friends back in …
Behold The Commodordion
I like to think that I have my share of odd ideas, but then some guy comes along and makes an electronic accordion out of Commodore 64s and floppy discs and I realize that I’m pretty boring, actually.
