Happy Tuesday! And it's actually Tuesday this time. I win!
For whatever reason, "Mandy" (as performed by Barry Manilow) has been stuck in my head all week, so it seems logical to appoint it as the tune of the week. It might be cheesy, but it has sort of a timeless quality that a lot of 40-year-old love songs don't.
Fun fact: Did you know that the original version of "Mandy" was called "Brandy" and recorded by Scott English in 1971? Most of the lyrics are the same, but the Scott English version sounds more dated somehow. I dunno, maybe Barry Manilow just has that wistful thing down pat. Here, you can listen and judge for yourself.
So... um... hi. It's been an absurdly long time since I updated this pitiful excuse for a blog. I had all these grand plans for everything from television to film to even game reviews, but life got in the way. Oops! Let's try this again, shall we?
The song of the week is Peppertones - For All Dancers from 2012. This song has been stuck in my head because I watched some old episodes of 1박 2일 on YouTube recently, and the first 30 seconds or so of it seems to pop up about every three episodes. Which is a little annoying, because it's a catchy little tune. But that's the beauty of the age we live in—you can listen to the whole thing right here, right now on the internet. Whoosh!
On a semi-related note, YouTube/Google now has something called "Music Key", which allows you to listen to music in the background on your mobile device and without ads. Kind of like Spotify. It's currently in beta—I got a pop-up offering me early access on my YouTube account, but I don't think it's been rolled out to everybody yet, so YMMV. More info here if you're curious though.
And with that, I vow to update this blog more than once per year. Yeah!!!
