Trim Your Bush(es)

We've Got Big Bushes And We Can Not Lie

Well Minions today is the day to get out there and trim your bush(es) - "Yes" it's World Naked Gardening Day.

Here to celebrate with us are various types of naked men and their bushes that desperately are in need of a trim.

Won't you shed your clothes and join them in the garden? Too shy well then suite yourself, you'll have to trim your bush alone.

But, if you want to give it whirl and make it a group effort well...

Shed your inhibitions at the gate!

Film Buff Friday: Planet Of The Apes

                        "Take your stinking paws off me you damn dirty ape!"

Today we take a walk down memory lane to when science fiction films were truly interesting and not what is passed off today for the genre. Let's re-visit the 1968 version of Planet Of The Apes.

What's that you say, you didn't know there was another version other than the, how shall I put this nicely, awful 2001 Tim Burton movie of the same named? Well there was and it is quite compelling and provocative.

Hey, don't simply take my word for it, check out my buddy Jay Jacobson's Classic Movie Blog. Jay really digs deep into this film and gives behind the scenes commentary as well.

"Just Let Go"
Michael Shinafelt

"Today is the day to let go of things that no longer serve you" 

I have gotten a tattoo to celebrate every decade of my life since my twenties. I have yet to get one in my fifties. I will be getting one soon. What is it going to be you ask? "Just Let Go" I highly recommend it! 

Happy Cinco De Mayo Minions!!!

Hump Day & Chill

Today is May The 4th as in "May The 4th Be With You." Thus we are going to Hump Day & Chill by honoring the celebration of Star Wars fans everywhere!

What's that you ask? Am I a Star Wars fan? Well yes and no. When I was younger and the movies first came out I was a HUGE fan of the original trilogy. The prequels not so much. 

After the prequels (which sucked) I never went back to the series when it had it's recent reboot with The Force Awakens. I had lost interest, out grown the series if you will at that point. Even the originals which I loved dearly in my youth hold little to no interest to me anymore.

But a silly fan celebration like this is always fun to acknowledge and adds some levity to ones day.

Thus I hereby decree we Hump Day & Chill to Star Wars - May The 4th Be With You Minions!!!

"Mouth Shut"

Whether you posted something that didn't go over well, or you accidentally sent a text to the wrong person, we all have had foot in mouth disease at some point. Sometimes you wish you would have just kept it to yourself is the impetus behind Lit’s new single, “Mouth Shut” HERE available today.  You can also watch the lyric video HERE. “Mouth Shut” is off their long-awaited seventh studio album, Tastes Like Gold due June 17, 2022 Via Round Hill Records which you can pre-order HERE.

 

Lead guitarist Jeremy Popoff says, “We wanted to get back to the old school Lit sound with a modern day approach to the production.  It took a minute to get our heads in the right place, especially with all of the craziness going on in the world.  We started writing and making demos with Carlo Colasacco and YOUTHYEAR and we knew we had tapped into the vibe we were looking for. Tastes Like Gold is the album we wanted to make.”  Tastes Like Gold, produced by Carlo Colasacco, YOUTHYEAR & Lit features No Doubt’s Adrian Young, Butch Walker and American Authors. 

 

The band also recently released the track, “Kicked Off The Plane” HERE  and lyric video HERE. Both “Mouth Shut” and the autobiographical “Kicked Off The Plane” follow “Yeah Yeah Yeah”- HERE  (live performance video HERE & official video HERE) which was the first single from Tastes Like Gold.

 

Lit’s US tour is set to begin Friday, May 13 in South Carolina along with a date in the band’s hometown of Anaheim, CA at House of Blues on June 17. Additional dates throughout the summer and fall are currently being added to the schedule including a show at Summerfest in Milwaukee, WI on July 2. All dates are on sale now HERE

 

Catch up with Ajay & Jeremy as they discuss some of their favorite albums with Spin Magazine HERE

 

In addition, Lit’s four part documentary style podcast about their iconic song, “MY OWN WORST ENEMY” that was produced for Round Hill Music by Osiris Media is available now. Listen to My Own Worst Enemy, The Podcast. Presented by Round Hill Music HERE

Current Mood

Doll Parts
Olivia Rodrigo

Hello to the first week of May 2022. I hope this finds all of you Minions in a good place, or at least one that is solid. 

We have arrived at the first Monday of the month and Olivia Rodrigo with a doll on the streets of New York, captures my Current Mood right here, right now.

Maybe it's Olivia's excitement over something so simple, or perhaps the whimsy of the moment that was captured. Whatever the case, this gives me Good Vibes Only and feels fitting to our current month of May.

Hey, to me May has always felt like a new beginning and nothing captures that like Ms. Rodrigo's obvious enthusiasm (say that three times fast!!!)

Thus today I decree we go forth and bend it like Olivia Rodrigo...

Hello Dolly!

Happy May Day!

May Day
Grace Jones

1. May 1, celebrated in many countries as a traditional springtime festival or as an international day honoring workers.

Hello May and Happy May Day! As you can see there are two different ways to celebrate May 1st. Here in the US we lean more toward the "springtime festival" thing. 

At Entertain Me it is a Grace Jones thing. "Yes" Ms. Jones played one of the best James Bond villains ever in A View To A Kill named, May Day, naturally. Hell she was the best thing about that particularly not so good Bond Movie.

So Happy May Day and get your Grace Jones freak on!!!
