Life recently published some never before seen pictures of Steve McQueen. Here’s my favorite from the set:
I am trying to create a Rhapsody playlist of the albums he has spread out on the floor. The only ones that I can clearly make out are Miles Davis: Kind of Blue and Sinatra and Basie: An Historic Musical First. Can you help?

The sun is shining and there’s not a single cloud in the sky. There’s a part of me that feels like I am rousing from a long deep slumber. There’s another part of me that wants to go back to sleep.
When the sun starts hanging out longer and spring seems on her way, I find my musical choices begin to change. And it’s not just me. DJs start playing different music too. The Velvet Underground seems to be springtime music because I’ve heard Sweet Jane four times in the last two days. I start queuing up the Monkees, Serge Gainsbourg, Rod Stewart and other artists I don’t usually listen to when I am freezing my butt off.
What do you consider to be spring/summertime music?

Her subsequent albums didn’t do much for me probably because she really catered to a niche I didn’t fit. But I got to thinking about her just now, probably because I was thinking of Lady Gaga and her desire to prove she isn’t a man and I thought I’d see what old Phranc was up to and I found out…. she sells tupperware. Really.
Crotch shots, mass murder and product placement. Â Yes, I was lured to watch the new Lady Gaga and Beyonce video. Â It reminded me of this skit from Kids in the Hall:
“Tasteful use of crotch shots.”
Last night I FINALLY decorated my Christmas Tree! I got motivated by listening to SLADE and then when the energy built up and motivation arrived, I switched to Ultra Lounge Christmas Cocktails and decorated.
Are you guys familiar with Slade? Pookie introduced them to me. I had never heard of them. Holy moly they are a great band. And I have only begun to listen to them because they were unavailable on Rhapsody for ages. Rhapsody has them now. So here’s a playlist, check them out, let me know what you think:
