The Sound Of Music

Today is what is known on the Internet as Tunesday (Tuesday/Tunesday, get it? Groovy!) - Thus I thought something musical was in order. Something beloved if you will.

So here it is Minions, the classic movie musical The Sound Of Music! Can I get a do a deer? "Yes" I sure can! 

I know millions of people out there are fans of this film. While I am not one of them, I am a Julie Andrews fan and love her in this movie. 

Thus on Tunesday I hereby decree The Sound Of Music as your collective earworm. Once it's in your head you will never be able to get it out!!!

Feel free to check out all the behind the scenes history of it and more on my buddy Jay Jacobson's Classic Movie Blog. He is a well of knowledge regarding the history of film.

The hills are alive Minions, sing it, sing it!

Man Crush Monday

Boy Wonder Indeed
Burt Ward

Saturday night while flipping channels I came across two back 2 back reruns of the old Batman TV series starring Adam West and Burt Ward and it brought back memories of the Man Crush kind.

"Yes" Minions, I had an MC on Burt Ward as Robin when I was a kid. I mean what's not to like???

Look at him back in the day, he is adorbs! Not to mention perfectly cast as Robin (I was a big Batman nerd as a kid.)

Oh, the things I envisioned when I was young and...well you get the picture.

It's Monday, crush the week!!!

Wicked Bears

Salt Lake City Pop Punk trio WICKED BEARS sign to Wiretap Records, Announce New Album with the single “The Darkness” out now.

About Wicked Bears:

With punk rock as a genre nearing it’s 50-year mark, many musicians, listeners, and critics find themselves asking “how can one play this style of music and still stay relevant?” If you’re Wicked Bears, you answer this question by not worrying about.

It’s not a sense of carelessness that makes Wicked Bears so refreshingly good, however. Nor is it necessarily the nostalgia factor, though it does channel Lookout! Records and 90’s pop punk in all of the best ways. No, it’s the fact that the songwriting is just that good, and all of the correct musical pieces are in place. Where catchiness and cleverness meet, Wicked Bears make their home. And in the way other punk bands have increasingly started losing themselves in pretentious technicality and forced emotion, Wicked Bears decided they have no time for that. Their debut album "Tuning Out” released in 2017 clocks ten songs in under 30 minutes, and anything more would be overkill.

Jumping on the Wiretap Records roster in 2022, the trio preps a brand new album "Underwater" out Spring 2023 via Wiretap Records.

Wicked Bears is: Casey Keele, Nick Fleming, and Jason Bohman.

Absolute Zero

Sharon Needles has emerged from her black hole and slipped into her Halston space suit with her brand new album, Absolute Zero via PEG Records/Warner Music Group/ADA HERE.  Absolute Zero features the singles, “Flamin’ Hot” HERE & video HERE as well as the title track “Absolute Zero” HERE & video HERE.

Absolute Zero, Sharon’s first new music in over 3 years was produced by certified platinum selling songwriter/producer Tomas Costanza/Killingsworth. Absolute Zero  features seven brand new disco-laden and Studio 54, Euro-Disco inspired tracks including a re-imagined cover of 70’s Rock Gods Blue Oyster Cult classic, “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper.”  

“Who says you can’t open an album with a ballad?  Not Miley Cyrus, hello Wrecking Ball.  When you’ve lost everything, there is nothing to lose except weight…uh oh spaghetti-o’s.  The universal relationship between us all is death and if you are lucky, you can dip your toe into the shallow end of love.  Though I may not be wearing a ring on one of my ten fingers, doesn’t mean I’m not wearing one…just look down.   I still believe in love, just ask my mom.  Absolute Zero is finite, like love, like death.  I’ll see you at the Event Horizon (tickets going fast).” Sharon quips

Erika de Vil

Separated at Birth?
Erika Jayne & Cruella di Vil

OK, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans, of which, in case you were unaware, I am. First off let's address the elephant in the room. On what planet does Erika Jayne think it was appropriate to suggest the Crystal Minkoff, rather then purge, take laxatives to for her eating disorder because it would be easier than praying to the Porcelain God?!?!

Perhaps on Planet Claire? While we all know Erika is wasted on medication and alcohol, which Crystal chalks the "advice" up to. I have to wonder if it's projection at this point on Ms. Jayne's part. No matter how wasted I have been that is something I would have never said in this scenario, thus I'm on team projection, while wasted, and not very elegantly I might add.

Whatever the case it did make for a jaw dropping moment of TV and that's what keeps the audience watching.

Thus when I saw this meme juxtaposing Erika with Cruella de Vil, well if the Dalmatian Coat fits...

T.G.I.F!

If you need help with an eating disorder or know someone who does please contact

Michael's Musings

Nope
Michael Shinafelt

With the release of the UFO epic Nope tomorrow it got me thinking about the recent photos of the Galaxy. From what I can tell Truth: If we think we are alone here on earth we are naive.

Also Truth: With a galaxy as vast as ours I seriously doubt there is a God of any sort that cares about your sexual orientation or whether you're choice is pro. 

This Minions is a no brainer, moving along...

Last night on RHOBH could Dorit Kemsley's nose be any browner after that completely embarrassing kissing of Jamie Lee Curtis' butt?!?! Discuss...

Also on RHOBH WTF?! Erika Jayne telling Crystal Minkoff who has an eating disorder that laxatives might be better for her to use than purging?!?! Erika is there to help...NOT!

If you screw me I'll have you kidnapped and sold to some really sick people, the more you know

Jack Daniels = Liquid Crack, that is all

The first rule of OINK Night: You do not talk about OINK Night

Congratulations to Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck. There are those of you who make fun, and that puzzles me. What's the point, just be happy for them or STFU!

"Yes" I've watched the Halloween Ends trailer a handful of times and "Yes" I can't wait until October 14th!!!

Woman Crush of the Week - Keke Palmer, I loved her on Scream Queens and wish her the best with Nope (I will not, be seeing it, but am happy for her!)

Just when you thought he couldn't get any hotter along comes Christopher Meloni for Peleton

Hump Day & Chill

The End
Michael Myers & Jamie Lee Curtis

It's a beautiful Hump Day & Chill in the neighborhood...why you might ask? Because the teaser trailer for Halloween Ends has dropped Minions and it's a doozy!!!

I've heard many conflicting things about the actual movie itself, but from what I've seen via this teaser trailer (say that three times fast) straight outta Blumhouse is any indication of what's to come October 14th, well then...F#ck me gently with Michael Myers knife, I'm there!!!

Honestly nothing could keep me away from this, you heard me correctly, nothing.

While were on the subject of sequels and follow-ups in the Halloween universe I have a confession to make. The only Halloween movie I've seen without Jamie Lee Curtis is Halloween III: Season of the Witch.

You heard me, I saw the original, the sequel, then III and did not see any other of the films until H20. 

PS I refuse to see Rob Zombie's take on it, so there!

Time to Hump Day & Chill to the tease bellow...86 days till Halloween Ends, Silver Shamrock.
