electro doogie

Anyone else think this groovy ditty sounds Doogie Howser-ish? [Osborne – “16th Stage”] 

I Feel

Sick as a dog. I think standing outside in sub-freezing temperatures has finally caught up to me.

 

New U2 Single

Streaming here in case you’re interested:

Ladyhawke

Appropriately named after the Matthew Broderick/Michelle Pfeiffer flick. Very 80s credit sequence. [Ladyhawke – “Crazy World”]

Joy Division

NYC is not treating me right. I had cash and a blackberry swiped at the gym on friday. And let’s face it, people here are pushy and rude. I haven’t had one random stranger hug me for no reason. DC this is not. Obama buzz fading….

 This song is where I’m at right now…[Joy Division – “Dead Souls”] http://www.imeem.com/people/H1FFrt/music/MAUrhlnn/joy_division_dead_souls/

Have you reached your Single Lady threshold?

I haven’t!!

 I am obsessed with this rendition. Looks like a few members of The Color Purple musical cast decided to work it out onstage. Love them.

Starting Over

#1 on this date in 1980. Somehow appropriate. [John Lennon – “(Just Like) Starting Over”]

Rihanna Finale

We next hit the Rihanna/RIAA party (where she performed amidst intermittent power failures), and then ended up at some random HRC(?) event at the local club (though we missed Cyndi Lauper’s earlier performance–damn).
 
All in all, an amazing experience.
Happy Inauguration, everyone!

West Ball

A grown up ball!!

 We hit the West Ball, with a couple thousand of our closest friends to partake in the Obama glory.

We Did It!

General revelry by the reflecting pool.

The highways were closed….so we could walk home. Here’s Charlie as we turned onto his exit. 🙂
