As/if this progresses, I'll work out the kinks. As it was, the digital world was against me on this endeavor. My audio came out a good second ahead of the video (which drives me crazy). Then, I didn't realize that I couldn't embed the photos into the original file, so I had to finish editing and producing everything else, THEN I ran it through a program that would let me overlay photos live ("We'll do it LIVE!", a la '90s Bill O'Reilly). Then, I discovered that the picture-in-picture feature in said program was non-negotiable, and as such, I should've been further into one corner of the frame or the other. Lessons learned! Anyhow, here you go. [UPDATE: A little birdy assisted me in acquiring kick-ass software to closer produce the vision in my mental l'il head. HQ version is now embedded below.]

Stay tuned...
Some people blog just for the sake of blogging. Some people get paid to do so, and they do it with a certain regularity. Some people blog for some sort of release or cathartic experience.
I don't fall under any of those categories, and frankly, I have nothing worth blogging. So I haven't!
But rest assured, when I have something to say, it'll be right here. That's why this thing's open for business.
(If you're into more mundane, concise ramblings, I humbly offer you my Twitter feed.)
(And yes, the irony is noted, as you were probably led here by said feed, in one sense or another.)

The ONLY Songs That Matter - 8.16.10
Another month, and another list. Back in the day -- well, the past three years -- I've done an annual "Best Of" list, selecting my favorites from the year's goodtunes. What with the 22 picks in 2010 so far (before today's additions), that may be a silly practice, and thusly omitted. We'll see.
Anyways, this is a weird list. I'll just put that out there. All the same, here are The ONLY Songs That Matter™ this week. Oh, and I did something new ... I made a video playlist with all of the picks! That only took me a few years to do. Enjoy!
1) "Feel Good Drag" - Anberlin
2) "Black Hearts (On Fire)" - Jet
3) "Destination Unknown" - Alex Gaudino f/Crystal Waters
4) "The Letter" - as performed by Joe Cocker
- Two interesting things here, the first of which is a travesty. The original "Letter" has yet to make this list; AND, this is the second "as performed by Joe Cocker" tune on the list ("You Can Leave Your Hat On" from 2/2/2009 being the first).
5) "Whataya Want from Me" - Adam Lambert
- Written by Pink (and others). Huh.
6) "Gypsy Woman" - Crystal Waters
- Crystal Waters makes the list for the first and second time the same week. Go figure. Hey, anyone who samples "The Price Is Right's" theme should be on this list at least ... well, three times, come to think of it.
7) "Luv Me, Luv Me" - Shaggy f/Janet Jackson
8) "Dance With Me" - Peter Brown
9) "Lady Picture Show" - Stone Temple Pilots
10) "Mighty Mighty" - Earth, Wind & Fire
- Yes, I chose this video because the first dancer dude cracked me up and made me hurt simultaneously.
11) "Limp" - Fiona Apple
- I will, without fail, select a Letterman clip when it pops up first.
Week 190, and goodtunes #1025-1035. Huzzah.
Hopefully there's at least one song you weren't familiar with, or haven't heard in a while. Favorites? Anti-favorites?
