the waterboys - sweet thing (studio-1988) is it heresy to say it's better than Van's original?

Well, I say it's at least debatable, it's that good.

hothouse flowers - i can see clearly now (studio-1990) one of my all-time favorite covers

Fact, I'd probably put it 3rd overall after Manfred Mann - Blinded by the Light, and The Waterboys - Sweet Thing.

nothing but thieves - impossible (live at abbey road studios - 2020) trust me, it's incredible :)

I know I posted this before about a year ago, but ... it's so friggin good, time to resurrect for new folks/people who missed it ...

Don't let your kids watch Hocus-Pocus 2!!!11!

Gooch is turning heads with a viral post on social media and discussed her concerns about the new movie with KWTX.

“Do not watch this film,” she warned, “Everybody thinks it’s fake and innocent, but they could be casting any type of spell that they want to, anything could be coming through that TV screen into your home.”

Discovered "Somebody Feed Phil" about a month back, we love that show ...

Phil Rosenthal (creator of Everybody Loves Raymond) travels all over the world to taste local cuisines, a lot of it is high-end gourmet stuff, but by no means all. Phil is willing to eat friggin ANYthing lol.

A lot of good human interest bits woven in, and he's just a really funny, affable guy. The New Orleans episode was a favorite of ours.

He zoom's with his elderly parents in NY at the end of every episode (well, not so much in the last couple seasons) and they're cute and amusing folks.

Beautiful camera work, amazing locales, lots of nice folks, and a ton of food porn.

Although it gets a little 'samey' after awhile, it's perfect for watching a couple episodes sipping your coffee on a weekend morning, spreading it out over time as we've done.

Netflix, BTW

Fifth Season released in May 2022, and a 6th is on the way.

Oh, and small PSA, there's a good amount of drinking on the show. Maybe not the best viewing choice if you're presently struggling to abstain

Lastly, there's a lot of internet posts bashing Phil himself as host, calling him phony and the like. Keep in mind he's a very obviously liberal Jewish New Yorker, and the show has a decidedly liberal bent as a whole. I love the guy, myself, and don't find him at all phony. Some people out there I think just can't believe someone is THAT nice. But if he IS a big phony, his acting skills are great. He even fools his own parents.

Missing my homegirl mopinko ...

Not a comment on moderation, I see her account is currently flagged for review so presumably that's why she's been absent.

Just sayin' I miss her.

I gotta love a randy mature lady who sings in Irish bands.

Hope to see you soon Mo!

josh ritter - kathleen (acoustic live 2002) - Such a friggin beautiful song I swear

This song wrecks my shit every time I listen to it.

Dylan would've been proud to write this.





All the other girls here are stars
You are the Northern Lights
They try to shine in through your curtains
You're too close and too bright

They try and they try
But everything that they do
Is the ghost
of a trace
of a pale imitation of you
I'll be the one to drive you back home Kathleen

This party was made with the night air and the chance that a smile
Will wind its way from your face to one of the boys in your line
You act like you're hip to their tricks and you're strong
But a virgin Wurlitzer heart never once had a song
I'll be the one to drive you back home Kathleen

And I'll have you back by break of day
I'm going your way anyway
And if you'd like to come along
I'll be yours for a song ...

I know you are waiting
And I know that it is not for me
But I'm here and I'm ready
And I've saved you the passenger seat

I won't be your last dance
Just your last goodnight
Every heart is a package tangled up
In knots someone else tied
I'll be the one to drive you back home Kathleen

So crawl up your trellis
Quietly back into your room
And I'll coast down the length of your drive
By the light of the moon

And the next time we meet
A new kind of hello
Both our hearts have a secret
Only both of us know
About the night
That I
Drove you back home
Kathleen
