These guys might just amount to something...

Well it seems that Lorraine,JP,and Hat have hit upon the idea of posting music videos on Fridays,and I think that's a terrific plan!..
I imagine the conversation went something like this;

JP- "Hey we should post music videos on Fridays!"

Lorraine- "Oh,I heart that idea poodle!"

Hat- "Count me in!..Shall we be bringing our own pie?"

JP- "Wait..What if Sling wants to join in?..I mean,..you've heard the music he plays"..

Lorraine- .."Frak!"..

Hat- ..."maybe he won't notice.."

Sling- "TOO LATE!"..

I've liked the feeling around this tune for years,and never really known who sang it because,well...you've heard the music I play.
I understand these guys became fairly popular.



Pink Floyd.."On the turning away"

Excellent choice of video. I love it!

Golly Moses, last time I felt like someone was listening into my conversations like that "thirtysomething" was on the air.

And Pink Floyd rocks. Not as much as you, but still.

Damn. You too?! (Not talking about the video playing bandwagon. Talking about the script/screenwriting skillz (I forget the word Lorraine's Child taught her, but it probably applies.)

It drives me crazy that you all could be cranking out fantastical movies and raking in the fantastical dough now that another writer's strike is threatened.

But I love P. Floyd. I always liked taking the train to Paris just so we could pass the power plant. You hardly ever see album covers anywhere. well, I don't.

I will be joining the popular club, and will post a video NEXT Friday. I feel like I was picked last at kickball. *sniff sniff* Your going to hate my music, I just know it. That is why I will gleefully post it!

Should I bring ice cream to go with Hat's pie?

serena joy- Oh I thought I'd better post something mainstream for my first Friday vid..It's bound to get ugly.

lorraine- I wasn't eavesdropping!..(removes ear from glass on wall))..

Hat- OOH!..It's all warm and snuggly in here!

booda baby- Sadly,I've been blacklisted from screen writing ever since I hit on that McCarthy dude's sister back in the 50's.

yellowdog G.- Holy crap!...You're still waiting on that?..
It's a great video.Hope you get to check it out soon. :)

Hat- I was serious about not knowing who sang it..I had to hum it to about 15 people before I was able to find it.

rube- lorraine is a huge BSG fan!..I don't know any Gilmore Girls references.

tater- Dude!..We can have a side bet on which one us can pick the most obscure,and least watched music video!..it'll be fun.

Hat- ..and he wonders why he gets picked last at kickball....sheesh!

I didn't know either. I also slacked and was too late for this bandwagon. Damn. It's OK Tater, we can make our own kickball team. And seriously, look at their gymsuits.

 
At 12:07 PM , Blogger Sling said...

more cowbell-..now all I can think about is you and Tater in kickball gymsuits..

Oh crap. Does this mean we'll be dodgeball targets? Because, just so you know, I'm a freakin' blackbelt at dodgeball. I have madcrazy dodgeball skillz. My basic training? Included a special forces field training in, guess what, dodgeball. The rubberized ::RING:: of the red ball smacking a backside is like a drug for me. Yeah. Just so you know. (Tater? You've got my back, right? Hello? Crap...)

Cowbelle-Is that right?..
Well,I'm a survivor of the "Great Dirt-Clod War" of '63.
..I'm sure you've heard about it.
The kids on my block,and the kids on the next block would go to the great mound of earth on the corner and gather as many dirt clods as we could carry,(NO actual rocks..Rules of engagement and all that),and then proceed to hurl them at close quarters until one side gave up.
You haven't lived until you've had one dirt clod whiz past your ear,only to have the next burst into dust squarely between you're shoulder blades!
It was win by attrition,..or until we got called to dinner,whichever came first...Wow...thanx for the memory! ;)

monica- I have a really bad habit of letting the name of a group determine whether or not I pay them any mind.
I'm trying hard to break that habit.
Frankly,you good folks in Bloggertown are largely responsible. :)

Thanks for the compliment on my blog. I was a little surprised this morning when I saw that she posted something.

As for PF - well who doesn't love them? I sat in front of my computer this morning holding up my bic burning my fingers! Great video!!

Love,
Julie

Cowbell,

I so have your back, and I am a lefty and was a pitcher in little league (stop snickering, No Pitcher/catcher jokes, and not all gays throw all girly like). I was a dodgeball fanatic, and just so you know Sling, we made our dirt clods interwoven with clover so they would hold together better, thus delivering a more devastating punch. Just ask the bitchy little Baptist girl that lived on my block in Tulsa. That Holy Roller got a flat tire courtesy of yours truly. That bitch is still gimping along holding her left butt cheek.

You're never going to get Sling out of that pocket, Hat.

Sling: The Dirt-Clod War of '63? Are you kidding me? I think we covered that in senior history class. That war was the stuff tall tales are made of! Hmm. This changes everything.

You look to be a worthy adversary ... [dribbles red ball, pops gum]

Tater: Little league, Hell yeah. That's what I'm talking about. Bring on the clover. Not all girls throw all girly-like, either.

Zip up your gymsuits, boys, it's game time at the sandlot. [cue soundtrack: The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly]

Wait ... is that my mom calling? Seriously, I think that's her.

(Tater, uh, videos next week?)

Curse tech! I can barely get my 12" vinyl LP3 files to play...I don't understand video, but I do remember Pink Floyd...trippin' with a Pig Dirigible was cool beans.
Except for the brain damage.

Hells yeah Cowbell, and I'm starting with Games without frontiers, by Peter Gabriel...

I'm going with some rockin' John Denver, myself. Because I'm badass like that.
