You know that song

Those songs, the ones that get stuck in your head. You hear them on commercials or on a tv show, some times during sporting events. You start liking them & if your like me, you catch some lyrics and google them to see if you can find the song & the artist that performs it. After that you might then start trying to find the artist work & it introduces you to new music that otherwise you might have missed out on.

It is a great marketing tool now that you can't find a real music channel anywhere on tv. Even MTV has finally given up on the facade and is taking music television off their logo. A way to get your music out to a mass audience you might otherwise not have found. Even i never listen to music on the radio anymore, now that I own a mp3 player that holds more music than i could ever listen to. If my radio is on it's sports talk, or sports themselves.

Below is a small list of songs you might have heard a million times & still have no idea who sings it. If you don't, go over to amazon and see if you recognize any of them & maybe have 1 or 2 of them stuck in your head all day.

So are You ready for the Superbowl?

Yes it's that time again. 2 teams battling it out on the field. Commercials paying the big bucks to advertise.(it really is the only time i watch them cuz you know, they're funny) Making all those snacks & still ordering pizza. Side bets throughout the game. It's almost like a national holiday. ( i have the same food hangover)

Time was when my favorite team use to at least contend for it, but that seems many years ago & i am getting old, so maybe my memories fading. This year I'll be rooting for the Saints. They are my second favorite team, one who you almost can't help but root for. The half time show is The Who, brilliant for us aging baby boomers ( talking about my generation)

So cook up, fan up, money up & I'll meet you there. GO SAINTS

trying to catch up

Now that the xmas season is over it's time for me to catch up a bit on my blogging. As you know i am a lover of movies, books and sports. Today i have a few recommendations of a few movies you may not of heard of.

The 1st is a Swedish movie entitled Let the right on in, it is a story that even if your not sure you like it, i guarantee it will stay with you awhile. It is a haunting story of a young boy who is a loner and bullied at school, that all changes when a new mysterious girl moves next door. the cinematography is quite beautiful and the story is well written and well acted. I cannot tell you anymore because i don't want to give away to much of the plot but i strongly recommend that you get the subtitles version and not the dubbed.

Now in honor of the new Runaways movies I'm going to recommend 4 music documentaries.
first off is Edgeplay a documentary about the Runaways with interviews with all the members except Joan Jett, i will admit i was a little disappointed by this, but it is still a compelling story about what they had to give up to follow their dreams.

the 2nd is called The Gits, about a rising punk band out of Seattle who when they are about to make it big tragedy strikes, It is poignant and brought me to tears many times and Milla's voice still echoes in my brain.

the 3rd is Joni Mitchell;Woman of Heart & Mind. i have always been a fan of Joni's & this is by far the best documentary of ever saw on her. There are interviews from her and many people through out her life. It dwells deeper into her life and soul then any other things I;ve read or seen about her, If you are a Joni Mitchell fan, I highly recommend this movie.

Now last but not least is Girl's Rock, about a rock camp in Portland Oregon, that teaches girls to play instruments, be individuals and to be strong. Great movie to show your young girls.
