A song from de yout' and tonight's plans.

[thebitterguy]

Holy Crap. Suddenly I'm 17 again.

Tonight should be fun. Local Buffy/Angel meetup tonight (I plan to spend it terrifying newbies, wishing redeem147's husband a happy birthday, and attempting to hijack every conversation into being about Blood Ties) and work Karaoke party afterwards. I pretty much have to drop by it (so if you're near Joe Mercury's after nine, flee! Flee for your lives!). Please fill out the poll below to confirm which songs I should sing.

In other news, bradhicks has a big expose coming up. He says so in the post subtlely titled Fleeing from the Searing Light of Truth! Is it a full moon already?

Eric B. and Rakim, "Paid in Full"

[thebitterguy]

I'll see if they have that on hte playlist.

[pyat.livejournal.com]

I think the big secret is on Wikipedia, anyway.

Or here (http://www.psychohistory.com/htm/05_history.html), if not.

[thebitterguy]

Man, that's too long. I hope his big secret is brief and to the point!

[thebitterguy]

Apparently the secret is that 80% of sids deaths are murders. Ooookay.

[pyat.livejournal.com]

Well, there have been some studies in Britain and Australia to indicate that, IIRC.

As an aside, I noticed last night that LJ has suddenly removed the ability to embed videos into posts using the Rich Text Editor. Has this happened to you, too, or did you add this using HTML?

::B::

[thebitterguy]

I just use Youtube's code for embedding. I never use the RT editor.

[doc-mystery.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I never knew you could do this.

[thebitterguy]

It is secret knowledge I share with you.

[bandersnitch.livejournal.com]

I love that song.

I spent the last 6 years living 45 mins away from the bar that was filmed at.

Pikes are from Saskatoon!

[thebitterguy]

They do rock. Was it a good bar?

[bandersnitch.livejournal.com]

It was a small town hole in the wall bar. The extras in the bar in the video are not actors. They are locals.

Wasnt much to look at or drink at. Its called the Meunster Bar in Meunster Saskatchewan.

Yes, its pronounced "Munster"

[velvetpage.livejournal.com]

"Oh my God. Look at her Butt!" You're insanely funny when you do that song.

[thebitterguy]

Yeah, that was what I ended up doing. It's a crowd pleaser.

[crashing-angel.livejournal.com]

"If You Want Blood" AD/DC, because it's just an awesome song.

[thebitterguy]

That would have been good. But it violates Karaoke rule #2 (pick a song you know).

[sassy-fae.livejournal.com]

Awesome video!

I'll be honest, I miss the guys' hairstyles :)

[skaiser.livejournal.com]

I love the dead by Alice Cooper. Its not a regular on karaoke, but I have seen it, and I have seen it done.

[thebitterguy]

Wow. Alice is a good choice. I only got one on the rotation, and a manager had asked me to do Baby Got Back, so that was my pick for the night.

[absinthe-dot-ca.livejournal.com]

Damn, I haven't seen that video (or heard the song) in years. Shades of 1990...

Anyway, for Karaoke, you usually can't go wrong with either Elvis or Frank Sinatra, IMHO.

[thebitterguy]

The problem with Elvis is that it violates Rule #3 (Pick a Song you can Do). Frank is maybe in my range, but only if I've had a lot to drink.

[elizalavelle.livejournal.com]

OMG I'd almost forgotten about this video! Awesome!

[thebitterguy]

It is an awesome video.

[doc-mystery.livejournal.com]

Holy Crap!

I first saw these guys play live at Molson Park in Barrie twenty years ago when *Teenland* as their biggest hit.

::B::

[ghostwes.livejournal.com]

I was at that concert as well. Good stuff.

[doc-mystery.livejournal.com]

Yep, along with other groups like Teenage Head, Siouxie & the Banshees, 3/4ths of the Monkees, and Weird Al Yankovic ((just to name a few!).

It was an all day picnic thing, and we brought with us a watermelon secretly soaked in vodka.

::B::

[thebitterguy]

Heh. I saw them at the Grand Theatre in Kingston on the Snow in June tour (89?). I think I still have their t-shirt, which now would do as a bandana.

[doc-mystery.livejournal.com]

I saw my first opera at the Grand (1985) in Kingston when I was at Queens; "La Traviatta".

::B::

[thebitterguy]

Heh. I saw The Mikado there, myself.
