Tracy Chapman sings O Holy Night.

Just beautiful.

I respectfully see your Tracy Chapman, but I raise you one Irma Thomas. Listen and weep, fellas.

I love this. Watch without sound — it ruins the punchline.

You advertise yourself as two servings, but they cannot be prepared independently of each other.

And you taste more than a little bit like White Castles. Not that that’s horrible, but like Tyler Perry, I can do bad all by myself.

My mind is so blown. They’re going to have to get Sunshine Cleaning to come in and take care of my office.

Donald Fagen, “New Frontier”

Fantastic song, but hadn’t seen the video until tonight.

Jumping ahead to Web 4.5.

Galliano, “Slack Hands”

Classic Trip Hop Week continues with a cut from the indispensable 187 soundtrack. You might recognize Neil Young’s “Old Laughing Lady” there at the end.

I miss photo scavenger hunts. Anybody out there interested?

Hooverphonic, “2Wicky”

Because it’s Tuesday and everybody needs to chill the hell out.

Because I will be forever jealous that Courtney saw this performed live mere feet from her face.

Because if playlists were physical things, I’d identify my most used one as “TRIP HOP 1994-2001” with masking tape and Sharpie.

Around 7:30 this morning. In the car. Listening to Sweet’s “Ballroom Blitz.”

At a red light, Ollie’s bopping around and humming along in the back seat.

“Hey, you’re really rocking out back there, kiddo.”

Ollie stops moving, looks me in the eye, and annoyedly deadpans, “Can you just turn it up a little, Dad?”

Later, when I notice that he’s also “rocking” to “Copacabana,” I feel that we’re even.

Let me be very clear: I have no use for what Gloria Estefan has become, but in 1985, Primitive Love was awesome.

Or as we said back then, awesome to the max.
