MJ was last year’s reluctant golden boy. I wore the record out, and love this video. He’s from Asheville, so my kid and I went to his record release at a record store and I saw him two nights at the Orange Peel.
I Dare You To Pick This Song For Karaoke
God, this song is awful, but I can’t resist it. Sadly, at this point in my life Afternoon Delight is a bowl and a cold beer.

Maurizio Pollini, age 82. Probably the most technically perfect of the major pianists who began their careers in the 60’s. He studied under the obsessively perfect nutcase, Aurturo Benedetti Michelangeli. Some considered him (and his teacher’s) playing too cerebral and cold, as if they were showing contempt for the music they were playing by playing it so perfectly. I disagree.

I don’t know if I’d like porter, but this video sure makes me want one. In all likelihood, none of us has had the real thing.

Shit
Eric Carmen has hopped the twig, aged 74.
