SENSORY OVERLOAD

First, they could not have picked an 'awesomer' song to reinterpret. I am going to have to check out other stuff by this crew, the Eclectic Method ... that is a cool name!

Anyway, what I like is how simple the video is. Doesn't take a great deal of pyrotechnics for an Iggy Pop song to jump off, does it? Especially going back to the beginning of the video, with the crowd shot and all those people getting hyped for something ... what, I don't know. Feels like I am at a rave or something listening to and watching this song.

I guess after checking out their website, is that they specialize in making video 'mash-ups'. Will have to see more of their stuff.

TRIED TO BE IN A FOUL MOOD

But it didn't take. I have wondered myself, if I don't purposely go into denial sometimes. I do feel bad ... last night, stuff was on my mind. Then I had to really try to make them fit in my reality, and none of what I was thinking about was 'real', in a real sense.

I don't know what is up with certain women in my life ... like about a few billion men (and women themselves!), so why should I BE worried about 'stuff'. The only way I am going to find out, is to get to 'there'. The only way to get 'there' is to start working towards 'it'. And working towards 'it', begins where I am.

So win the day. Let tomorrow handle itself. If you lose today, then resolve to make it big tomorrow. Period.

Before you knew it, I was grooving to this hype-monkey version of 'I Wanna Be Your Dog'. Oh, there is one more that I want to share, and it is as creative as this is, if not more so.

Which one is better? Who is prettier, Halle Berry or Nicole Kidman? Depends on YOUR flavor, cause either one would be welcome to spend time with me! I am going to watch this video a few dozen more times before i go and get dinner!

Just wanted to say hello! I have not heard of this group, but I have not been up on music lately. Only on my record player, I have been playing all the greats over the last 50 years!

I don't know what to say about people, other than we can never know what others think about, or what the reason!

I hope life treats you well, and that your week goes well.

I want to wish you a Happy Holiday!

Peace&Love
Wes&Family

That song is super cool. Makes me want to work out! Love the energy. Cousin Shane has sent me videos made by a VJ named Tom Yaz, of B-52's songs. Do a search for him on YouTube, and you'll find all kinds of good stuff. (Ha--get it?!) If you can't find him, let me know, and I'll send you a link.

Sound like you had a potentially bad day, but it didn't end up that way. I'm glad!

Hugs, Beth
