1. Well, spirits were lifted a little last night here, where a great doo-wop singer Emily's uncle manages was on a bill with the Trammps and Blue Magic and headliner Ronnie Spector, who was goofy and reminded me of Ashlee Simpson (or vice versa?) except I think she was actually drunk. But it made no difference!
Not a heckuva lot to say about it actually, except that there was something strangely distancing about Ronnie's set -- not just that she kept grabbin' her crotch all the time, which didn't bother me like it did Emily. As huge as a song as "Be My Baby" is, there's not much to do to it (not like the Kimmel Center audience was all that rowdy to begin with) except kind of sit back and grin and let it wash over you.
The event DID inspire me to write my best "Be My Baby" knock-off to date (also my first) which will be great as soon as I can figure out what the damn WORDS are. They're in there somewhere, but I can't seem to coax them out yet. Right now it sounds more like a Bumblebees tune.
2. New to the blogroll is The Goggles Do Nothing!; haven't spent enough time with it yet, but there's a Eurovision round-up that I think will be fun to follow.
3. Feels like a three-point post (even though I already published it with one point), so here's the full "With Love" single (radio rip), which isn't as good as "Play With Fire" but is still very good. Makes me want to SMELL LIKE HILARY.
