...Give it up for Feathers, Cadillac, and Tom Cruise.

I can't get the theme song from this video out of my head. I want the ringtone.

"Planet Unicorn...heyyy"

I'm Tommy B. and I am........ a Butt Sweater. I'm not trying to make excuses, but it was 105 F intown today and the humidity is in the 500 percentile range here in Atlanta. I'm like a crackhead for Gold Bond Medicated Powder, but it's the only thing that keeps me sane.

Two fleshy orbs, constantly bumping and grinding against one another, enveloped in thick designer denim in the blazing and unrelenting Georgia sun. My kingdom for a pair of dry underwear at 1:00 pm.

Unrelated thought: Whoever invented the "chaffing dish" should have thought of a better name for it.

I was randomly clicking around You Tube and found this.

A crazy little gay shop owner running around giggling and chatting away and showing his wares. Waaaaait a minute... This scenario is somehow straaaaangely familiar....hmmm.

I've watched this over and over and I still start giggling when he does. When he starts talking about his "Barbra Striesand section", I just loose it.



Happy Monday yall!

I know, I know...me?...posting about...Burt Bacharach? Okay...just hear me out.

Marc just bought Burt Bacharach's 2005 vinyl LP "At This Time" and I gotta say...I am now a TOTAL FREAKIN' BURT BACHARACH FAN. When I played it in the store today, people asked what was that smooth and incredible album...and the inevitable response was "Huh??? Burt Bacharach??? No way!" I'm telling ya...it's awesome.

I think it's time he got some props again. I actually can't think of a more talented and prolific song writer from the 20th century. I mean, you have to appreciate someone with these to his credit. My God! Just look at this list!

"The Story of My Life"
"Magic Moments"
"The Blob"
"Heavenly"
"Faithfully"
"Baby It's You"
"Any Day Now"
"Liberty Valance"
"Only Love Can Break A Heart"
"Don't Make Me Over"
"Make it Easy On Yourself"
"Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa"
"Blue on Blue"
"Anyone Who Had a Heart"
"Close to You"
"Wives and Lovers"
"Wishin' and Hopin'"
"Walk on By"
"I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself"
"Always Something There to Remind Me"
"A House Is Not a Home"
"What the World Needs Now Is Love"
"What's New Pussycat?"
"Alfie"
"My Little Red Book"
"I Say A Little Prayer"
"The Look of Love"
"One Less Bell to Answer"
"This Guy's in Love with You"
"Do You Know the Way to San Jose?" )
"Promises, Promises"
"Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head"
"I'll Never Fall in Love Again"
"Arthur's Theme (The Best That You Can Do)"
"That's What Friends Are For"
"On My Own"

Holy crap! Did this guy single-handedly write almost every single freakin' pop song that hit the charts in the 60s??? Apparently. Just his catalog of stuff with Dionne Warwick is amazing enough. I think that just enough time has passed to avert the Bacharach stigma and just appreciate how beautiful his body of work really was.

And then he puts out an album in 2005 that is one of the smoothest grooves ever. Fo shizzle.



I think my perception of Burt Bacharch was clouded by those cheesy Martini & Rossi commercials he did with his then-wife Angie Dickinson.

Elvis Costello (who, in my opinion is probably the most brilliant rock and roll song writer ever) respected and adored him. This is EC's cover of "I'll Never Fall In Love Again"
