Special thanks to Gregg for the awesome editing and credits.

It became clear that this donkey needed to start earning his keep.

Soon he will be carrying alot more than sacks of beet pulp shreds.

I love my local Winn Dixie for its eclectic muzak

Tonight as I was shopping I heard Elvis' version of Blue Eyes Cryin' In the Rain, and the follow up... Because The Night. It is all too good.

Al: Shrinkage Comptroller

I do not have a cool-ass video or pictures to upload, although I wish I did. I just have a cute little story to tell.

Al, Evan and I went WalMart Walking the other day. While WalMart Walking, Al told me he WalMart Walks so often that even WalMart employees think he works there. Once some dude fork-lifting palettes said to Al, "Hey. They want you up front." Another time a customer queried if Al conducted shrinkage control.

Which is not so very far from wrong. Al is kind of in charge of "shrinkage control" where ever he goes, yes?

Because the Night

I know that Roxy has been doing this song for several years already. So I thought if I was going to 'wow' anyone with my interpretation, it would be crucial that I:
(1)upload my version before she uploads her's
(2) pepper it with a creepy yet compelling video effect
and
(3) give it my patented segue spin.
This time my segue is based on the premise that Bruce Springsteen refused to co-write a song with Patti Smith once he discovers that she is a girl. (We have all seen 'Jersey Shore', we know how sexist all guys from New Jersey are.) He'd be all like,"Pat, the guy with the hairy armpits, is a GIRL!?! No way, I'm outta here!" So Patti would have to call in a fellow 'riot grrrl' to help finish writing the song. And I think the results would sound a little...something...like...THIS!

Honeycutters Cover

It has been a while since we had a 'cyber-sing-a-long', so I thought i would kick things off with a recent favorite of mine.



Here is a link to hear the original version.
