When I collate the masses tremble, when I send a fax the universe shudders at my fury

July 25, 2009

Great words from Alice Donut and the Bottom of the Chain. If I do the cover album version of Songs About the Office, this one would have to be there – you don’t get much better lyrics about office life than this: When I collate The masses tremble When I send a fax The universe […]

15 Seconds of Shame

July 23, 2009

Song #15 in Hardcory Mogkenstein’s 50 Song Challenge coincidentally has the number 15 in the title and it’s 15 seconds long – I present to you: 15 Seconds of Shame. I was thinking about the 15 minutes of fame that is more like 15 seconds these days and doesn’t it seem more common to get […]

I’m a Tennis Widower to Roger Federer

July 20, 2009

Roger Federer inspired this one as Wimbledon was wrapping up.

July 3, 2009

Beethoven’s Wig – Classics for Kids

July 2, 2009

We went camping with my Dad and he brought this CD from his library called Beethoven’s Wig. Genevieve loves it. I think it’s a pretty clever way to teach kids about classical music and composers in a fun way – check out the title track. Here’s the complete details on the Beethoven’s Wig CD we […]
