New Toy
Sam brought me a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0. Has a Quad Core Processor and so far me likes it very very much. He's such a sweetie pie. So if anyone has any games or programs that they think I will like, let me know.
Got Sam and I some very warm and coomfy Robes
Nice soft and thick Terry Cloth Robes. You know, the kind you steal for those really nice hotels. Well I found these on sale in November. Normally $89 a piece I got them at Half price so only paid for ONE!! Here is what they look like. So nice to lounge in these and those slippers my Mom got us. Loving IT!!!!
Look What Momma Got me for Christmas
My mother is such a great lady. I love her very much and she just sent me the best things in the world. She knows I have perpetually cold feet. I mean freezing to the touch even if I am sweating. So she got me these...
Rockport Slippers. She got me a pair and Sam a pair. They are soooo comfy. They keep my feet warm and toasty. She was so sweet to think of me. I love you Mom. Thank you!!

Getting ready for the Christmas Party Sam and I were invited to.
Tomorrow is Christmas 2014. Instead of doing our normal thing, going to Chosun Korean BBQ, we were invited to a Christmas Dinner at one of his co-workers house. It seemed he really wanted to go so I said yes. From how it was explained to me, there would be about 6 people there. Last night I was told there was about 30 people going. I don't like crowds of people especially when I do not know any of them. Not one person. So now instead of dinner and a movie it is going to be a night of awkwardness because I generally do not open up to people or speak to them until I have at least been around them for a couple of weeks. This is a defense mechanism I employed after getting screwed over my supposed friends time and time again. So Yeah for me.
Anyway, enough wallowing in that mess. Sam said we needed to bring a dish, but wanted some sort of salad or veggie dish as they already had the meats and normal Christmas foods covered. So I made a Cornbread Salad. This is a Traditional Southern Dish for large gatherings. It is a pretty layered salad with plenty of the hardy items that are normally available to persons of meager means. Poor people, OK. You just made me say it didn't you. I love this dish. The Recipe is below along with a picture. I messed up when I made it as the bowl isn't large enough and I didn't cut back on the first layer of cornbread. Normally it is equally space and very pretty to look at. This one is alright. When you are about to place this on the table, the last layer of bacon it placed on top. BACON, yes lord. Everything is better with bacon. I always double the bacon order.
REPEAT THE LAYERS - Except same that last layer of bacon to go on top of the Dressing. This way the dish is presented letting everyone know that a pork product (Bacon) is in the dish. Not everyone eats Pork. For me, presenting the crumbled bacon on top it to make everyone's mouth water because BACON makes everything divine.
Cover and Chill 2 hours.

Our little Baby...Sleeping anywhere he can.
Sam's most precious little "Darling" sleeps anywhere he can. He runs through the house all through the night. He likes to run into the newly remodeled bathroom, and stop quickly on the bathroom rug so it slides all over the place. He then likes to lay on the carpet while you are in the Shower and won't move so you have to step all around him. Here he is doing that:
.jpg)
Then when we are asleep, after he has run around the house like he was running the Indy 5000, he sleeps. Between us and also on us. Here he is between us, stretched touching one of us with his head and his legs and tail are touching the other. He looks so peaceful asleep. Wish he did when he was awake, the Holy Terror Himself, Finster.
.jpg)
This cat also likes his stuffed Snowmen. Years ago, our friend Mary Taylor, gave us two stuffed Snowmen for Christmas. Well, Finster adopted them. They are his chew toys, but also his babies. He brings them and lays them on top of us while we sleep. If one of us gets up to use the restroom in the middle of the night, he lays them on our pillows. Then when we come back, there they are. Presents for us. When this first started happening, it was creepy as hell. We didn't know he was doing it. Now it is cute. He just loves us. So special.

Steak and Potatoes with Mushroom Gravy
Well, I love steak. It is one of my most favorite foods. However, because of the fat and cholesterol, we do not eat steak that often. This week we had steak with Masked Potatoes and I made a Homemade Mushroom Red-eye gravy. Most people make their gravies with a packet or open a can. YUCK! That is disgusting especially when making gravy is SOOOOO easy. Here's how ya do it.
First you cook the steaks. We have KC Strip steaks AKA New York Strip. What it is called depends on the part of the country you live in. Sam prefers his Medium while I love my steak mooing, alive and kicking. I like it just between rare and Med. rare. I love it fleshy, bloody, but warm. Most people and restaurants screw my steak up. These are inch and a half thick cut steaks from Sam's Club. I cooked these in my new Iron Skillet mentioned on an earlier post. I use Olive Oil and Butter in the skillet. This raises the smoke point of the oil and adds flavor. The only seasoning on the steak is Lawry's Garlic Salt and Black Pepper. After the steak are done and resting on the plates, as shown above, that is when you start the gravy.
I take one medium onion and slice it, medium thick slices. Then I take some Baby Portobello's and slice them up. Throw them into the skillet directly after removing the steaks. Keep the skillet on Medium-High heat. Stir them around to coat them with the hot juices in the pan.
.jpg)
You then let them cook. The bits stuck on the bottom of the skillet will be released and they will bring with them FLAVOR. When you see the onions starting to really cook, about 2-3 minutes in and you can actually wait 5 minutes, you will want to add in the flour to start a Roux. I usually eyeball it. Sprinkle in the flour a Tablespoon at a time. Using a fork mix that flour in with the skillet mixture. It will start to absorb the liquids and thicken. I used 4 Tablespoon, about 1/4th of a cup of flour. Then let the Roux cook. You must do this as this will cook out the "Flour" taste. Like this:
.jpg)
You can see in the picture right above, it is still sort of liquidy, but you can see how the flour has soaked it up. If you add to much flour, it will get doughy. Fret not. Add a tablespoon of butter and swirl it around. That will loosen it up. Once you see if bubbling, like above, you can stop adding butter. Just do this One Tablespoon at a time and give it time to incorporate. You will notice the color of the Roux starts to darken. This means the flour taste should be gone and Flavor is building. You then want to add cold water. Add 1 cup of cold water and stir it in. Like so:
.jpg)
You can use the fork you used to incorporate the flour or whatever tool you were using. Why wash more utensils if you don't have to right? This will start to bubbly, and if this is too pasty, add some more water, but only do it in 1/2 cup increments. Please, before adding more water make sure you have let it come back to the boil and you have stirred it thoroughly. At this time you want to taste the gravy. If it doesn't already have enough flavor, you can then add 1 bouillon cube or a teaspoon of Beef Base. This is needed sometimes, but not always. Adding at the beginning could lead to an overly salty gravy that nobody will like. I personally like Beef Base better. A Good Gravy will coat the utensil you are using when you pull it out of the liquid. Once you get the consistency you want, let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. Like So:
.jpg)
After than just turn off your heat and serve. Here is what it should look like.
OMG, Steaky and Gravy Goodness!!
If you try making gravy and are successful, let me know if this helped!

Asian Sticky Chicken
Hello,
We had a great meal tonight. Asian Sticky Chicken, Broccoli, and Cornbread Stuffing. Mmm, Mmmm. Well, I took a rather bland Sticky Chicken Sauce, but I dazzled it up and made is Asian. Here is what the finished Product looks like:
Looks good doesn't it. It is lip-smacking good and you will be sucking the glaze off your fingers too. Here is how to make it.

Looks good doesn't it. It is lip-smacking good and you will be sucking the glaze off your fingers too. Here is how to make it.
Ingredients
- 3 -5 pounds bone in chicken with skin (folks usually use legs and/or thighs)
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1 cup honey
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (You can use 1 Tablespoon of Freshly minced Garlic if you like)
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder (You can used 1 Tablespoon of Fresh Grated if you like)
- 1 1/2 or 2 teaspoons of Asian 5-Spice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- In a sauce pot, combine ketchup, honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic powder, ginger, and Asian 5-Spice over medium heat.
- Bring it to a boil while stirring. Let is continue under a rolling boil for a few minutes, no more than 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Arrange chicken pieces in 9x13 dish. Pour most of the sauce over chicken, turning pieces with tongs to coat. I would say leave a small ramekin full of the sauce for basting right at the end.
- Place in oven, uncovered, for 90 minutes, turning after 45 minutes.
- Fifteen minutes before cooking time is up, flip pieces once more and baste with sauce.

First week of November 2014
This week flew by. Sam and I have been dealing with a slightly leaky roof. Sam put a tarp up on the roof and that stopped the leak, but we still gotta get it fixed. Had a roofer come and review and he stated he saw hail damage. Had insurance come out on Tuesday of this week and they spotted the Hail damage too, as well as severe wind damage. Needless to say, we are getting a new roof and the insurance comp[any is paying. Whew! We will pay our deductible of $500 and we are paying to upgrade from normal shingles to better ones as well as having a rubber Ice and Water shield put in the first 2-4 feet from the edge.
Today the Roofer came by and I signed the contract to get the work done. Now gotta send that to the insurance company and then they will release the rest of the money for the roof. They are also going to pay to have the ceilings worked on and painted throughout the house. We are not dealing with that yet. One thing at a freaking time.
We will be very happy once the roof is done and then we will go directly into getting the inside painted. Until then we are just glad that the roof is not going to cave the hell in on our heads. Updates as they come.

My New Kitchen Accessory
Got me a new 12 Inch Enameled Cast Iron Skillet. Same Color as my Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven. These are the best cooking utensils around. Even heat and great browning results. It huge and heavy. $39 at Sam's Club. What-What!!
Just seasoned it this morning and she is ready for use. So I fried up some Oysters and had a Oyster Po'Boy for lunch today. So Good!
The only thing I want from this line now is the Elongated Enameled Cast Iron Casserole Baking Dish. Big Like a Dutch Over, but Oval instead of Round. That is great for the longer Roasts and for Casseroles. I really don't care if they are the same Blue color. I'll take Red too. One of these days Sam's will have it for the right price. I am not paying the $300+ for the brand - Le Creuset. Sorry, not paying $300 for something I can get for $39. I wasn't the smartest in Economics 101, but I wasn't small bus.
Can't wait to do some pan Fried Pork Chops or even making some Fried Yellow Squash and Onions. Yum-my.

Music for this past week 10/28-31
Hello,
I have had a great week of music. iPod is still working on my songs in the A Column and there have been some from when I was in High School and some real eclectic shit. The list is below along with links in case you wanna listen to some great music.
Sinead O'Connor - All Babies This song is off her album Universal Mother. This was a great album. I was so happy when it came out because after the Pope Picture Ripping episode I thought she was going to be forgotten and fade away into obscurity. She has continued to put out music over the years and I have it all. I have been hooked on her voice since album #1. Listen to this fab song here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAUxvc0LbiI
Celine Dion - All By Myself I love her remake of this Power Ballad. Originally written and performed by Eric Carmen back in the 70's, Celine remade this song and did it justice. She made this her own song. It was unstoppable. I love Mrs. Dion, listen here and maybe you will too? -
The Cure - All Cats are Grey This song hails from their 1981 album Faith. In typical Cure fashion the song has a haunting feel just below the surface. This song is inspired by the Gormenghast novels of Mervyn Peake. Most of this album was written on the fly while in the Studio recording the album. Have a listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpgNx89B8Y4
Alison Moyet - All Cried Out This song is off her 1984 Debut Alf. Another Soulful song from Alison. "Take back your cold and empty heart" is about the best line to use when someone pushes you away and then wants you back when the grass was not greener on the other side. Love this Song. We have all been here, and if you haven't then someone was singing this song about you - Bitch! Watch the video and listen tot he song here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wWi6OrgZe4 You took a whole lotta loving for a handful of nothing...PREACH GURL!
Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam with Full Force - All Cried Out OK, anyone from era that does not remember this song, just needs to crawl back under their rock and stay. Lisa Lisa, so good you have to say it twice. She had some great songs and this is one of them. Listen here -
One Republic - All Fall Down This group has NOTHING to Apologize about. This song is off their 2007 debut album Dreaming Out Loud. This is a good song. it was not released as a single, but it could have. I have found over the years, these guys can write some good songs. Have a listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qf6hLhrHtqg
Thompson Twins - All Fall Out This song is off the Twins 11983 Debut Album Quick Step & Side Kick, in America it was just known as Sidekicks. This was the album that gave us the hits Lies and Love on your Side. Every song on this album is good. Find this buy the CD, Download it. Do whatever you have to do to get it. This is such a good album. Of Course, you have to like Synth Pop and love 80's music post Modern New Wave Romantic Pop Music. If you so, get this damn album. The Thompson Twins have NEVER gotten the recognition they so well deserve. Have a listen to this un-released album track here - https://www.google.com/#q=Thompson+Twins+-+All+Fall+Out
Pat Benetar - All Fired Up This song gets you pumped and dare I say Fired up when you listen to it. I have considered her the first lady of 80's Rock N Roll for some time. Every song she sang was powerful and reeked of a strong feminine presence. You knew she was a woman and she also wanted you to know she could kick your ass with her music. We all got it and gladly let her kick our asses. This is one of her great songs. Listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsnYrH3BUP8
Plastik Funk feat. Adam Joseph - All For You. Incredible song. Adam is on point, as usual, with the vocals and the music has some sick beats. You gotta listen to this if you have an affinity for Dance music or Electronic music. Listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UG081oIvi68 here is a remix that is also just as SICK - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfgJHoPH2hU
Sister Hazel - All For You I heard this song one day on the radio long ago and was hooked on it. Sang it incessantly in my head for days and did not know who sang this song. It took me weeks to track it down, we didn't have Google or anything like that back then and I was also not on a computer then either. Sounded like Blues Travelers but it wasn't. Finally found out who it is and got the album. This song is off their album Somewhere More Familiar and it is pretty good. Kind of Southern Rock. Not normally my cup of tea, but to this day when I hear this song I sing is and it makes me happy. Have a listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J95gaG7MYQY
Tasmin Archer - All Grown Up One Hit Wonder in the USA. Her one Hit is the US is Sleeping Satellites. Tasmin has pure vocal talent. SO naturally in the age of Brittany Spears, she was overlooked. Style overtook talent. Sad Sad. Her album was incredible. Great songwriting and greater vocals. This is off her album Shipbuilding. Have a listen to a talent that just couldn't get noticed enough to stick in the US. Listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytn47tz4PDY
Husikesque - All Hands on Deck DO not ask me how to pronounce the name of this Band or Person. I have had this album for years and while I love it I cannot tell you how to pronounce it. I got this back when I was in College. I was reporting weekly song stats to a college music radio magazine, CMJ (College Music Journal), and I handled Pop and Electronic dance music charting. So I was sent this album for a spin or two. A promo from a little label. It was good. So good I still have it and still listen to this date. Have a listen to this fun artist here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBe2uw9iF64
Sarah Brightman feat. Cliff Richards - All I Ask Of You Sarah is a staple on Broadway. I first heard of her when she released Captain Nemo. I really liked her voice. Found out much later she was a Broadway Diva. This is off of one of her albums where she is singing Broadway Hits. She does it justice. She just belts out those high notes with ease. Have a listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLtU4IbHHZc
Human League - All I ever Wanted Yes they are Still around. Started in the 70's and still pumping out albums. Good Albums. Have a listen form their 2001 offering Secrets. This song is infections and poppy. It will make you dance in your bucket seat. It does me. Have a watch.
Kelly Clarkson - All I Ever Wanted Another song by Kelly Clarkson. It's good and almost all her songs are. This one was not released as a single. But have a listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UArYZacDrSE
Train - All I Ever Wanted I caught the Train and I have not gotten off. Love this group from SF Bay. They are great and I would love to see them live. This song is good and you should listen to it here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaSPa2KNvjk
Train - All I Hear How good is that. Another Train song and this one is just as good. Telling you, you need to give these guys a serious listen. Become an Uber-fan and listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQyy8NUQB50
AMP Live - All I Need AMP Live did this wonderful remake of Radiohead's album In Rainbows. Here is one of the tracks. Drink in the beats and sounds. I have been listening to this for years. Have a listen yourself - Hopefully you know who Radiohead is and can appreciate the remake - Listen Here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dp26th1unFM
Caroline - All I Need (Owen Vallis Mix) This is the only song from this group I have. Haven't found anything else. Like the song. Ethereal and fun. Electronic, kinda Poppy with an Indie twist. Have a listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fzHA3C8JxU
Alanis Morrisette - All I Really Want You had to live under a rock in Siberia, covered in 20 feet of snow not to have heard this in the 90's. Her album was THE album for that year. Every song on Jagged Little Pill was incredible. They still are. Still love listening to the album. Have a reminder here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXCCv5ngyI0
Sonny & Cher - All I Really Want to do I just loved Sonny & Cher. Still do. Listen to this song here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ybEVq4vkWc
The Cure - All I Want This is off The Cures 1987 offering Kiss me Kiss me Kiss me. I fell hard for this album and it solidified The Cure as one of my favorite bands ever. They are still in my Top 5. Listen to it here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDIfzE6nIJs
The Lightning Seeds - All I Want From the 90's. This is off the debut album Cloudcuckooland. Their songs were all light and airy with a touch of Post Modern New Wave to them. I have both albums from them. Liked them a lot. Have a listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wk9apLbRdOA&feature=youtu.be
The Fixx - All is Fair This is off their album Ink. These Aussies know how to rock. I have been a fan since Red Skies so many years ago. Listen to this little known jem. You can hear it here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2K9nm07XnA
Bjork - All is Full of Love - This is off 1997's Homogenic, one of her best albums. All of here albums have a concept behind them. Normally only Bjork knows what the concept is. She's just so abnormal. That is what makes her so great. Have a listen to this great song here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2K9nm07XnA
Portished - All Mine These guys burst onto the scene any soon they were compared to everyone. Everyone loved Portished and would just spout off about how good they were, how artistic their music was. Thing is, they were right. Have a listen to one of the best groups you've probably never even heard of - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vozNQX6Ye1A&list=RDvozNQX6Ye1A
Colton Ford - All My Love He is just SEX. Sex on a Popsicle Stick and I wanna Lick. So Hot. Former Gay Porn Star turned Musician. He was a musician before Porn. He was a back up singer for Chaka Khan. Snaps for that. He actually can sing and his music is fun. It isn't going to set the world on fire, but who cars look at him, DAMN!! Watch here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tz7iE4AxCgY
Bjork - All Neon Like Here is another offering from her 1997 album Homogenic. Have a listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilSJvY928-Y
Icono Pop - All Night This is a recent acquirement here at the Haus of Doug. This is a fun group. They've had a hit, I Love it. You've heard it - I Don't care...I love it. I thought the song was really fun so I gave their album a chance and I am glad I did. While they aren't curing cancer, they are having a blast on their album and bring anyone smart enough to listen along. hjave a listen to this song here.
LMFAO - All Night Long They had some great songs on their album Sorry for Party Rocking, but this one is only OK. You can listen to it here -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVD6oE5Xk6Q
Stereo MC's - All night Long When these guys released the ALbum and Song entitled Connected, it went viral before there was something called viral. It was E-V-E-R-Y-W-H-E-R-E. All of the songs on the album were hot. Connected was the best one, but this song is tight too. While I suggest listening to the album in its entirety - Here is the song - http://youtu.be/NsPwGhR0GKI
Here is the whole album - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnSgPn063oE
RuPaul - All Of A Sudden This is off RuPaul's Debut album Supermodel of the World. Huge fan of Ru I am. That entire album is chock full of hits. This was a dancehall fave of mine back in the day. Still love hearing it. Listen here - http://youtu.be/5R79iCPRymo
XTC - All Of A Sudden (Its Too Late) College Band from when I was in High School. This is off their album English Settlement. Not your typical band and their style was all their own.

Dusty Springfield - All the Kings Horses Dusty has one of those voices that just didn't match the packaging. Just looking at her one would never know the powerhouse vocal contained within.

Have a listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xdLo5R3Csw
Passenger - All the Little Lights I can never say enough about Passenger. People are finally coming around to his genius. I saw it years ago one his debut and I have followed his career. I am subscribed to his You Tube Channel and watched him tour the world with few pennies in his pockets. I watched videos of him Busking in Perth, London. Birmingham, and LA. Just trying to raise money to travel and make music on HIS terms. Started his own record company. All this is starting to pay off. Here is a gem of a song. Watch, will you.
Offer Nissim feat. Maya - All the Love Israeli DJ, Offer Nissim gets some of the best vocalist around the world to record with him. Maya is on this track with him.

TaTu - All the Things She Said Russian Girl Group that made it big with this song. The Video showed slight Lesbian leaning. Recently the group came out against the Gay Lifestyle.

Here is their hit - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mGBaXPlri8
Celine Dion & Frank Sinatra - All the Way Great Duet. He didn't even have to be alive to do it. Celine makes this song, make no bones about it. Sorry Frank Fans, but that is the way it is. He was OK, she is terrific. Have a listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=660n34YJuNQ

Daughtry - All These Lives Daughtry was the Hottest male singer to come out of American Idol. He is just super sexy and he has the growling voice to boot. Mmm, Mmm, mmmmm. It may be wrong to judge by sight, but I don't care. I voted for him all the time.
Oh, and his music is good to. Have a listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Po9AOl_p_fg
Swansons - All These Things Will Happen Now Indie band from the mid-90's. I really liked their album and this was my favorite song off of it. They never made it big or anything, but I do not follow trends when it comes to music. I have many no hit wonders in my collections, here is one.

Here is the video for this song, click here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7Er5TsQrGg
Mazzy Star - All your Sisters Big fan of this group. This song is on their album, Among my Swan. Hope Sandoval's voice is haunting and melodic.

Listen to this song here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rffLzvoxWfs
Adam Ant - All-Girl Action OK, this is a terrible song. I am a huge fan of the Antman, but this is just a stupid song. It has none of the pizazz his older stuff has. No character and no fun. Sounds like he phoned it n on this song. Some people like this so listen here if you want to - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rffLzvoxWfs
Mike Reno and Ann Wilson - Almost Paradise This is a good duet from two I never would have tought about getting together to sing a song. Their voices combine well.

The Beautiful South - Alone This is one of my favorite bands. Theirs songs are moody, descriptive, and sometimes downright blunt. I like that in my music. They have lots of fun music too. This song seems like it was conceived in a smoke filled dive bar. Kinda bluesy. Good Song, have a listen - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYzPmPfNSd8
Cause & Effect - Alone I really liked this band .. Tragedy struck right before this album was to be released. One of the two member band died suddenly and quite tragically. The second album went nowhere and the surviving band member called it quits. He couldn't get over the loss of his bandmate. The album was just as good as their first, which had several top 40 hits. This band should still be around. Have a listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ffg48poPTI
Celine Dion - Alone I love Celine, but some songs are only meant for its writers. This song should only ever be recorded and released as a singe from HEART. It's such a powerful song that comes from the heart. You really have to feel it. Ann Wilson from Heart put everything into this song when they originally recorded it. Celine's version is OK. It just sounds sort of Karaoke to me. She just shouldn't have. This song is Sacred to Heart and Heart only. You can listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbRfapWaOKk
Depeche Mode - Alone here is another track from their latest album Delta machine. It has a very dark sound, the whole album. The deep bass and pounding beat does that. This is another solid song from Depeche. Listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUZOiQfTeEQ

I now have several songs from them and listen to them quite often. Music is universal. These guys rock. Have a listen here - http://youtu.be/mmLZSDfZlFM
for the smaller version they used on Bleach click here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CE6enmnmvGo
I have had a great week of music. iPod is still working on my songs in the A Column and there have been some from when I was in High School and some real eclectic shit. The list is below along with links in case you wanna listen to some great music.
Sinead O'Connor - All Babies This song is off her album Universal Mother. This was a great album. I was so happy when it came out because after the Pope Picture Ripping episode I thought she was going to be forgotten and fade away into obscurity. She has continued to put out music over the years and I have it all. I have been hooked on her voice since album #1. Listen to this fab song here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAUxvc0LbiI
Celine Dion - All By Myself I love her remake of this Power Ballad. Originally written and performed by Eric Carmen back in the 70's, Celine remade this song and did it justice. She made this her own song. It was unstoppable. I love Mrs. Dion, listen here and maybe you will too? -
The Cure - All Cats are Grey This song hails from their 1981 album Faith. In typical Cure fashion the song has a haunting feel just below the surface. This song is inspired by the Gormenghast novels of Mervyn Peake. Most of this album was written on the fly while in the Studio recording the album. Have a listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpgNx89B8Y4
Alison Moyet - All Cried Out This song is off her 1984 Debut Alf. Another Soulful song from Alison. "Take back your cold and empty heart" is about the best line to use when someone pushes you away and then wants you back when the grass was not greener on the other side. Love this Song. We have all been here, and if you haven't then someone was singing this song about you - Bitch! Watch the video and listen tot he song here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wWi6OrgZe4 You took a whole lotta loving for a handful of nothing...PREACH GURL!
Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam with Full Force - All Cried Out OK, anyone from era that does not remember this song, just needs to crawl back under their rock and stay. Lisa Lisa, so good you have to say it twice. She had some great songs and this is one of them. Listen here -
One Republic - All Fall Down This group has NOTHING to Apologize about. This song is off their 2007 debut album Dreaming Out Loud.

Have a listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qf6hLhrHtqg
Thompson Twins - All Fall Out This song is off the Twins 11983 Debut Album Quick Step & Side Kick, in America it was just known as Sidekicks. This was the album that gave us the hits Lies and Love on your Side. Every song on this album is good. Find this buy the CD, Download it. Do whatever you have to do to get it. This is such a good album. Of Course, you have to like Synth Pop and love 80's music post Modern New Wave Romantic Pop Music. If you so, get this damn album. The Thompson Twins have NEVER gotten the recognition they so well deserve. Have a listen to this un-released album track here - https://www.google.com/#q=Thompson+Twins+-+All+Fall+Out
Pat Benetar - All Fired Up This song gets you pumped and dare I say Fired up when you listen to it. I have considered her the first lady of 80's Rock N Roll for some time. Every song she sang was powerful and reeked of a strong feminine presence. You knew she was a woman and she also wanted you to know she could kick your ass with her music. We all got it and gladly let her kick our asses. This is one of her great songs. Listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsnYrH3BUP8
Plastik Funk feat. Adam Joseph - All For You. Incredible song. Adam is on point, as usual, with the vocals and the music has some sick beats.

Listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UG081oIvi68 here is a remix that is also just as SICK - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfgJHoPH2hU
Sister Hazel - All For You I heard this song one day on the radio long ago and was hooked on it. Sang it incessantly in my head for days and did not know who sang this song. It took me weeks to track it down, we didn't have Google or anything like that back then and I was also not on a computer then either. Sounded like Blues Travelers but it wasn't. Finally found out who it is and got the album. This song is off their album Somewhere More Familiar and it is pretty good. Kind of Southern Rock. Not normally my cup of tea, but to this day when I hear this song I sing is and it makes me happy. Have a listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J95gaG7MYQY
Tasmin Archer - All Grown Up One Hit Wonder in the USA. Her one Hit is the US is Sleeping Satellites. Tasmin has pure vocal talent. SO naturally in the age of Brittany Spears, she was overlooked.

Have a listen to this fun artist here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBe2uw9iF64
Sarah Brightman feat. Cliff Richards - All I Ask Of You Sarah is a staple on Broadway. I first heard of her when she released Captain Nemo. I really liked her voice. Found out much later she was a Broadway Diva. This is off of one of her albums where she is singing Broadway Hits. She does it justice. She just belts out those high notes with ease. Have a listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLtU4IbHHZc
Human League - All I ever Wanted Yes they are Still around. Started in the 70's and still pumping out albums. Good Albums. Have a listen form their 2001 offering Secrets. This song is infections and poppy. It will make you dance in your bucket seat. It does me. Have a watch.

Melissa Etheridge - All the Way to Heaven Another classic wonderful song from Melissa. If, after listening to Melissa's music, you aren't moved in one way or another, you are dead inside. Her songwriting is tits and there are few this good. Have a listen to this great song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ewy4HCvva0
Anything Box - All These Days Undone This group has always remained on the Fray of Pop. Not quite accepted or making it BIG, but their music should propel them into the Stratosphere. Here is a haunting song from their very first album from 1990, Peace. Click and watch
Daughtry - All These Lives Daughtry was the Hottest male singer to come out of American Idol. He is just super sexy and he has the growling voice to boot. Mmm, Mmm, mmmmm. It may be wrong to judge by sight, but I don't care. I voted for him all the time.
Oh, and his music is good to. Have a listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Po9AOl_p_fg
Swansons - All These Things Will Happen Now Indie band from the mid-90's. I really liked their album and this was my favorite song off of it. They never made it big or anything, but I do not follow trends when it comes to music. I have many no hit wonders in my collections, here is one. They were one of the Hundreds of bands signed to deals Post-Grundge and alternative rock. Most albums went absolutely nowhere and the bands fizzled out after their recorfd deals were yanked. Have a listen - http://youtu.be/bZFjwzMvcFM
Florence and the Machine - All This and Heaven Too Great band. Every song on both of their albums are good. Get into it and get their albums. Have a listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FRPg9DS-oA

Erasure - All This time Still Falling Out of Love Another great from Gay Icon Group Erasure. Their music has a way of lifting you up and making you feel good when you hear it. Have a listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SM5oM9EiDCY
Cyndi Lauper - All Through the Night This was on her Debut album She's So Unusual back in the 80's. Song is still great. Have a listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TK1dTYCmLyE
Erasure - All Through the Years This was off their groundbreaking Album I Say I Say I Say. I don't know what more I can say about this group that I haven't said before. I first heard this album when it came out, 1994. It has lost none of its luster. Have a listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fncjgN88xUE
One Republic - All We Are Yet another good song from One Republic. I told you earlier they were good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=intQivxMMcE
Lisa Stansfield - All Woman Solid song from Lisa. Have a listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMt3o-I2ltY
Olive - All You Ever Needed Funky little band. This is a good song off their album called Trickle. Have a listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQqFH62XjbM
Anything Box - All You Need Is Love Remaking The Beatles Classic. Its OK. Not going to win any award, but its OK. Click here to listen - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YW2RiJ_5gU
Duran Duran - All you need is now Back in the 80's I was a part of Durandemonium. I had these guys plastered on my wall. How did no one know I was gay? Well they have staged a comeback. I have found their new albums to be good. Very grown up for them. The lyrics are better. I am really enjoying their new music. Here is the video for this song, click here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7Er5TsQrGg
Mazzy Star - All your Sisters Big fan of this group. This song is on their album, Among my Swan. Hope Sandoval's voice is haunting and melodic. The broke up after their third album, but I have heard they are giving it another go. I am excited. Have seen the album yet, but really haven't looked. Need to. Listen to this song here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rffLzvoxWfs
Adam Ant - All-Girl Action OK, this is a terrible song. I am a huge fan of the Antman, but this is just a stupid song. It has none of the pizazz his older stuff has. No character and no fun. Sounds like he phoned it n on this song. Some people like this so listen here if you want to - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rffLzvoxWfs
Mike Reno and Ann Wilson - Almost Paradise This is a good duet from two I never would have tought about getting together to sing a song. Their voices combine well. This is off the Footloose soundtrack. Seriusly, who didn't see this movie or own the soundtrack back then. Have a listen again here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yc40EasXz18
Human League - Almost Medieval This gem is off their 1979 album Reproduction. Way before their time. I love their older stuff more and more as I listen to it over and over. Have a listen yourself here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5IBf9oScUw
Tori Amos - Almost Rosey This is off her album American Doll Posey. A terrific album and this song is incred. Most of her music is. have a listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXFm5dpHLKY
The Beautiful South - Alone This is one of my favorite bands. Theirs songs are moody, descriptive, and sometimes downright blunt. I like that in my music. They have lots of fun music too. This song seems like it was conceived in a smoke filled dive bar. Kinda bluesy. Good Song, have a listen - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYzPmPfNSd8
Cause & Effect - Alone I really liked this band .. Tragedy struck right before this album was to be released. One of the two member band died suddenly and quite tragically. The second album went nowhere and the surviving band member called it quits. He couldn't get over the loss of his bandmate. The album was just as good as their first, which had several top 40 hits. This band should still be around. Have a listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ffg48poPTI
Celine Dion - Alone I love Celine, but some songs are only meant for its writers. This song should only ever be recorded and released as a singe from HEART. It's such a powerful song that comes from the heart. You really have to feel it. Ann Wilson from Heart put everything into this song when they originally recorded it. Celine's version is OK. It just sounds sort of Karaoke to me. She just shouldn't have. This song is Sacred to Heart and Heart only. You can listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbRfapWaOKk
Depeche Mode - Alone here is another track from their latest album Delta machine. It has a very dark sound, the whole album. The deep bass and pounding beat does that. This is another solid song from Depeche. Listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUZOiQfTeEQ
Kelly Clarkson - Alone Another solid song from Kelly. This is off her Stronger album and it is a good rocking fun song. Listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVKNPeYOTXE
Dokken - Alone Again Still a fan of Dokken all these years later. Don Dokken could really sing. This is from the 80's when Metal ruled. Listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YAjQYJ7PVs
Aqua Timez - Alones Here is another Japanese Group. Love this song. I don't know what they are saying, but the song is still rocking. Many of their songs are so good they have been included in many different Anime Shows. This one was featured as an opening song for Bleach for a time. that is where I heard it. I now have several songs from them and listen to them quite often. Music is universal. These guys rock. Have a listen here - http://youtu.be/mmLZSDfZlFM

Tonight
We went out tonight to celebrate Sam's 47 B-day. We went to El Dorado. It is a good Mexican Restaurant. Real Latino's working and cooking. We had a good time, just talking until the food came and then talking some more while we ate. Neither one of us wanted to cook tonight and he needed to be treated again tonight.
This restaurant is really really good food. Not some Tex Mex crap. Ok some, but it's good Tex Mex crap. Same had the Fish t
Fish Tacos as seen here...
and I had the Chili Verde as seen here...
We have eaten here before and always enjoyed this place, but it was so much better than before. May be the company I was in had something to do with it. If you are in the Belton and Raymore area and you want some GOOD Mexican food, that is not expensive at all, go here.

Samuel Glenn Engle - It's His BD on 10/28
My Mister had an early Birthday Surprise this year. I never like to do the predictable. So the week-end before I took Sam to Best Buy and found out what Tablet he wanted. We tried the iPad Air the iPad Air 2 The iPad Mini 15,000. Boy, how many apples are in that bunch? He tried the Samsung's, the Lenovo's , the Asus, etc. When it all came down to it, he really like the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1.
So he got it then and there along with a lavender cover for it. He was so surprised. Which is kind of hard to do since we really do almost everything together. It is extremely difficult to buy him something on the DL because he is normally right there. I'm sure it is the same thing in reverse for him buying me anything. Anywho!! I then took him out for dinner at our Favorite Korean BBQ place, Chosun. OK, the only one we know of, but the food is tre-excellante!! The night was great and my Sammie is happy happy happy. He now has his table to play his games on and do whatever he wants. Grindr is not allowed. Skruff is OK though!! EFG :->>>
So everyone hit my man up on Facebook and give him Haps for his BD! He will be 47 this year.

3 of my favorite things COntinued - AGAIN!
#1
My Bialetti Stove Top Espresso Maker
This is AWESOME! This make the BEST Coffee at home. Better than any Espresso Machine at any Coffee House. OMG. The caffeine buzz alone will make your head spin. I got the 9 cup model from Bed Bath & Beyond AKA...MY CRACK! On a side note...if they ever build one in Belton, GAME OVER Bitch!
Anyway, took some of this Heavenly java to work and ended up having to share with one of my friends Jenny! She sits next to me and she share my love of the Java.
This item is soooo easy to use and you will be making the bestest coffee you have ever tasted. I would suggest the 3, 6, or 9 cup model. Any larger and you may never sleep again.
Let me know if any of you take the plunge and try one of these.
OKOK, so those are three of my most favorite things, for this moment in time. May chance next week or even tomorrow depending on my mood.

Been Away for a little bit...
But I am back. I was tired and sick. Took some time off of work because of it. I guess I also had a case of the Blahs. I worked through them and now I feel great.
I changed up my iPod. I stopped listening to my music in a Random Style. I am now listing to my music by Song in Alphabetical order. I kind of like this. Here is what I have heard in the last two week.
Ed Sheeran - The A Team Right away I figured "THE" is not a word in Apple Speak. I love this song and I think Ed is going to have a long musical career. Here is the song if you wanna have a listen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAWcs5H-qgQ
Benny Banassi - Able To Love - This song is mentioned a post or two ago. Still like this song. the video is FUN...love the broom dance. It is on You Tube.
Les Rythmes Digitales - About Funk - French Group. More of a Dance Music troupe. Fun Song and has a good beat. They Pre-date Daft Punk so that is saying something. This is about 11 years or so old. Have a listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIYT3idxoQg
Vertigo - Above it All (Original Mix) - This is from the Renaissance - Ibiza 2001 CD. The Renaissance Mixed Compilations are wonderful. I will get into these later - I digress.
This song is good. Nice vocals, Pounding Beat, and Great Synth. Have a listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgh6NQPhD5U
Cyndi Lauper - Above the Clouds - This is from the Body Acoustic album fro Cyndi. Another solid album from her. Is there anything she can't sing? This features Jeff Beck on Guitar. Have a listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHQ2KjM0N_8
Amber - Above the Clouds (Plastic Honey Mix) and Amber - Above the Clouds- This is a Dance Chick god back in the 90's. Amber was everywhere and her music was fun and extremely catchy, even more that ebola - Aww too soon!! Here is where I can see the draw back from going in Alphabetical order. I got the mix and the normal song back to back. Oh Well. Love the song so listen on to the links to both below.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0b-EwTy0Y3g and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hh2fJHXyvY4
The Fray - Absolute When this came up I first though of having some Absolut Vodka, but I was driving so I just listened to the song. This is from 2009 and I love this group. Yeah Yeah, they can be a little whiny at times, but whiny music has its place in everyone's life. Listen to this song here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdbNnus8w6o
Stereo Dancer - Absolute Reason This is from another Renaissance compilation - Global Underground - Athens Disc 1 and this is Song #1 on that disc. Starts the whole vibe off when listening to it. Wonderful. Have a listen to this jam - Sounded great in my new car. Great driving song too. I closed the windows and just let the music take me to another place while driving. NO, I wasn't on MDNA or anything else. Just love music and I let it take me places. So surreal to have this style of music playing, no other sound, and with the buildings, trees, and sky passing by - just wonderful. Have a listen, turn it up, darken the room and tell me you aren't moving in your seat to this beat! Great Trance Dance music, if you need to know actually what type of music this is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGW7iviIZ8Q
Pet Shop Boys - Absolutely Fabulous (Our Tribe Mix) and Original Mix) - I totally and completely love the Pet Shop Boys. I have every Single CD, Remix, and Album these guys have pout out over the years. I guess I would be a card carrying member of the Haus of Pet Shop if it existed. For those who live in a bubble, Pet Ship created this song using samples from the BBC Knock out Comedy Absolutely Fabulous. If you've never seen that show, who the hell are you, how are we friends, and where have you been? Lights, Models, Guess List...just do your best darling!! Have a listen to both mixes here. Lacroix Sweetie, Lacroix!! Buns so Tight he was bouncing off the walls!
Here is the Our Tribe Mix - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvcuekArIPw
Here is the Original - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YjDMmjgKec
Deborah Cox - Absolutely Not! - Former Back up singer for Mrs. Celine Dion herself, this lady also ha the pipes and I love her. This kind of has a feel like Destiny's Child, also who I loved. This song rocks. The mixes are great too. Wait for those, they didn't come up. Here is the song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiLQhClK3dI
Amada Ghost - Absolution I discovered this lady on accident. Most of the country never discovered her. I love her vocal styling's and she can write a song. Remember James Blunt's Beautiful. She had a part in that. This song is not on her album. It was on a Tribute to Gary Numan album. So this is one of Gary's songs she re-made. I like it lots. have a listen - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10bAZBJ59fs
Fluke - Absurd (Referendum Mix) - Fluke is one of those bands that consistently put out great music. Love the Hard Driving drums, the Breakneck Drum and Bass feel along with the Synth. Had me Dancing in my Bucket Seat. Have a listen to this truly a great driving song. Great for Raves or other happenings as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwRnct6HvFA
Sia - Academia She writes loads of songs for Katy Perry, Rihanna, and some other no talent bitches. She has the writing skills and the chops to sing them. Here is a listen to Academia. I call it the Math Song She has had hits overseas, but is just now finally getting some recognition here I the USA. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FH3I-bvbxQo
The Smiths - Accept Yourself - I love everything about the The Smiths. Own everything from them and treasure each song. Every song, to me, is a hit. Have a listen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9aa0aGBaA0 When will you Accept yourself. DONE! Everyone should do this for their own sanity.
Figures on the Beach - Accidentally 4th Street/Gloria!! One of those under valued 90's groups. I love listening to their music still. Have a listen to a good 90's group and song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1z02IPuAkpY
Elsiane - Across the Stream Peruvian Vocalist, residing in Montreal. This Duo is outstanding. Eclectic music and her voice is incred. they are currently working on their third album, another I will snap up. Here is a listen to this song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQrxBwN_qQA
The Cure - Accuracy There is not enough I can say about the Cure or the Front man Robert Smith. Love their music since I first heard of it as a boy stuck in Putney, Ga. This song is off their album Three Imaginary Boys. Good song off a great album from 1979. Naturally I did not hear of this when it came out. I was in Hawaii and didn't care about music all that much then. This song is from the Goth era in Britain. Siouxsie Sioux was coming out with her Banshees and Robert Smith with The Cure. Have a listen - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d02UNBep0TI
Finitribe - Ace-Love-Deuce This group had a good album but they got almost no play. Found out about these guys when their album dropped. Unfortunately, it dropped on the ground and didn't move from there. Got no traction at all. I liked all the songs on it. They kind of sound like The Shamen or EMF. Listen to it here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLWkLM6y1_Q
k.d. Lang - Acquiesce Now I am a huge fan of this singer. She came on the scene first as a Country Singer. Her voice is ON POINT. Better than anyone else at the time. She is from Canada, and lots of people liked her until she came out as Lesbian, well before people did that. She was a true pioneer on that from as well as with her music.
She was rejected by Nashville and Country Music Lovers despite have some of the best songs around. So she started melding Pop and Country, Long before Shania Twain, who I love as well. This song was not found on You Tube, so I made one. Have a listen.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPtoE2ueAiY&feature=youtu.be
U2 - Acrobat This song is off of Achtung Baby. This, I feel, is U2's best album ever. You will like this song. It is U2. Watch the video and have a listen - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHa1ThS9avA
Joey Beltram - Across the Hemisphere Joey Beltram has been in the Electronic Music scene for many many years. He is been influential to most newer electronic artists as he broke the ground many years ago. He releases music under Joey Beltram, JB3, & Code 6. He also started and still runs his own label STX. This is a great trance song - Have a listen - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSh92s1z0cY
Tracy Chapman - Across the Lines When she came out with her debut album, there was no one like her. There still isn't. Tracy Rules. This is off her debut album. A Song about racial tensions. Wonderful song. Have a listen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0E-X0AHN_g4
Madonna - Act of Contrition - Just don't like this song. It is off the great album, Erotica. This was a total miss as far as I am concerned. She just should have stopped during the recording of this mess. Listen if you want. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdPIwOL1H20
Def Leppard - Action! Not Words I have reviewed this before. It's Def Leppard. Of course it is good. It's off of the Pyromania Album. Excellent album. Get it and put into rotation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMfxVzfKkhc
Violent Femmes - Add it Up One of those college bands. Indie before indie was a thing. This threesome put out this classic album and this is one of the classic tracks off of the album. If you have never indulged in the Violent Femmes, get the album. You may be a little late to the party, but you will enjoy. Have a listen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7y9yChV478
Kelly Clarkson - Addicted Yes, I like the Clarkson. She was the first American Idol winner and I was a huge fan of the show for the first 8 years. You will see lots of the alums here. She's is still making albums and hits. have a listen to this song, you'll like it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnrA-ONA1H4
Faithless - Addictive This was on the Soundtrack to that truly evil wonderful movie Cruel Intentions. This is a fun song and it is from Faithless. Been along time fan. They have been around awhile and they continue to put out quality jams. Listen to this one. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEdKPHGHoMc
Barbra Streisand - Adelaide's Lament HUGE fan of BABS! I just love here and have her on a pedestal just like Judy Garland. DIVA gotta voice and con deliver a song better than anyone. This is a lovely song and is fun as well. have a listen - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0d-EitpmWg
Jimmy Somerville - (Comment Te Dire) Adieu! Big fan of Jimmy's. He doesn't put out lots of music, but what he does put put is great. This is off his 1989 GEM of an album called Read my Lips. Got it them and still have the same CD copy. Love Jimmy's falsetto vocals. He started off in Bronski Beat and then went to The Communards before setting off on his own. Jimmy has always been very openly gay and I think his career paid for that since he started off in the 80's. We so were not in vogue then. Listen to this song that he sings in French. It's just wonderful - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDYxNmyh5zc
Adore Delano - DTF Runner up on Season 6 op RuPaul's Drag Race. He was also featured on American Idol under his real name Danny Noriega. He was voted off before hitting the top 10 and I believe it is because of the Christian Coalition. I remember online campaigns against him because he was gay. He already had a huge following on You Tube and he spoke his mind. Something you are not allowed to do in today's society or the Christina will just bun you at the cross for it. Fuck em. He's surely winning now. His new album broke records on iTunes and he is making hit after hit under his Drag Pseudonym Adore Delano. This is DTF and that Means Down to Fuck. Fun song and great video.
Adore Delano - I Adore U
Here is another one of his songs. I like this song a lot. Have a view and listen.
Miley Cyrus - Adore You I am surprised as you are to see this artist on my iPod. Not into all that kiddy music she used to put out. Never listened to her, I would change the station on the radio if she came on. Turn the channel when she came on. Just though YUK. Then a friend sent me a link to a video on You Tube of her covering Dolly Partons Jolene, one of my all time fav's and he was saying how good it was. I sort of respect this persons thoughts, so against my better judgement I listedn. I was pleasantly surprised. Now she has come out with her new Album Bangerz and the songs are really good. I am not one for her antics, but girl is just trying to establish herself as a adult in the industry the best way she can. I think she's doing it all wrong, but her music is on point. Have a listen to this wonderful song about longing for the one you love. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1tzURKYFNs
Oliver North Boy Choir - Adrenaline This is a Danish indie Group. They released some EP's back in 2007-2009 and then called it quits. They are back now and added a 4th member. I cannot wait to hear there new stuff. You can get the collections of their old music on Amazon. Great to listen to. Here is the You Tube video I just created for the song. Just to put the song out there. Don't have many photos of them. So just listen to them - http://youtu.be/SaJFawS0Cc4
Oribtal - Adventures of Robinson Crusoe They just re-did the theme exactly the way it originaly was. It isn't on You Tube and I am not making this. Was not impressed. A rare miss by Orbital.
Ebn-Ozn - AEIOU Sometimes Y Ahh the eighties. They made anything and everything into a pop New Wave song. Here is an example. Pronounced EEBEN-OHZEN, the group formed in 1981 in New York.

Have a listen, turn it up, darken the room and tell me you aren't moving in your seat to this beat! Great Trance Dance music, if you need to know actually what type of music this is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGW7iviIZ8Q
Pet Shop Boys - Absolutely Fabulous (Our Tribe Mix) and Original Mix) - I totally and completely love the Pet Shop Boys. I have every Single CD, Remix, and Album these guys have pout out over the years. I guess I would be a card carrying member of the Haus of Pet Shop if it existed. For those who live in a bubble, Pet Ship created this song using samples from the BBC Knock out Comedy Absolutely Fabulous. If you've never seen that show, who the hell are you, how are we friends, and where have you been? Lights, Models, Guess List...just do your best darling!! Have a listen to both mixes here.

Amada Ghost - Absolution I discovered this lady on accident. Most of the country never discovered her. I love her vocal styling's and she can write a song. Remember James Blunt's Beautiful.

Listen to it here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLWkLM6y1_Q
k.d. Lang - Acquiesce Now I am a huge fan of this singer. She came on the scene first as a Country Singer. Her voice is ON POINT. Better than anyone else at the time. She is from Canada, and lots of people liked her until she came out as Lesbian, well before people did that. She was a true pioneer on that from as well as with her music.
She was rejected by Nashville and Country Music Lovers despite have some of the best songs around. So she started melding Pop and Country, Long before Shania Twain, who I love as well. This song was not found on You Tube, so I made one. Have a listen.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPtoE2ueAiY&feature=youtu.be

Madonna - Act of Contrition - Just don't like this song. It is off the great album, Erotica. This was a total miss as far as I am concerned. She just should have stopped during the recording of this mess. Listen if you want. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdPIwOL1H20
Def Leppard - Action! Not Words I have reviewed this before. It's Def Leppard. Of course it is good. It's off of the Pyromania Album. Excellent album. Get it and put into rotation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMfxVzfKkhc
Violent Femmes - Add it Up One of those college bands. Indie before indie was a thing. This threesome put out this classic album and this is one of the classic tracks off of the album.

Jimmy Somerville - (Comment Te Dire) Adieu! Big fan of Jimmy's. He doesn't put out lots of music, but what he does put put is great. This is off his 1989 GEM of an album called Read my Lips. Got it them and still have the same CD copy. Love Jimmy's falsetto vocals. He started off in Bronski Beat and then went to The Communards before setting off on his own. Jimmy has always been very openly gay and I think his career paid for that since he started off in the 80's. We so were not in vogue then. Listen to this song that he sings in French. It's just wonderful - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDYxNmyh5zc
Adore Delano - DTF Runner up on Season 6 op RuPaul's Drag Race. He was also featured on American Idol under his real name Danny Noriega. He was voted off before hitting the top 10 and I believe it is because of the Christian Coalition. I remember online campaigns against him because he was gay. He already had a huge following on You Tube and he spoke his mind. Something you are not allowed to do in today's society or the Christina will just bun you at the cross for it. Fuck em. He's surely winning now. His new album broke records on iTunes and he is making hit after hit under his Drag Pseudonym Adore Delano. This is DTF and that Means Down to Fuck. Fun song and great video.
Adore Delano - I Adore U
Here is another one of his songs. I like this song a lot. Have a view and listen.
Miley Cyrus - Adore You I am surprised as you are to see this artist on my iPod. Not into all that kiddy music she used to put out. Never listened to her, I would change the station on the radio if she came on. Turn the channel when she came on. Just though YUK. Then a friend sent me a link to a video on You Tube of her covering Dolly Partons Jolene, one of my all time fav's and he was saying how good it was. I sort of respect this persons thoughts, so against my better judgement I listedn. I was pleasantly surprised. Now she has come out with her new Album Bangerz and the songs are really good. I am not one for her antics, but girl is just trying to establish herself as a adult in the industry the best way she can. I think she's doing it all wrong, but her music is on point. Have a listen to this wonderful song about longing for the one you love. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1tzURKYFNs
Oliver North Boy Choir - Adrenaline This is a Danish indie Group. They released some EP's back in 2007-2009 and then called it quits. They are back now and added a 4th member. I cannot wait to hear there new stuff. You can get the collections of their old music on Amazon. Great to listen to. Here is the You Tube video I just created for the song. Just to put the song out there. Don't have many photos of them. So just listen to them - http://youtu.be/SaJFawS0Cc4
Oribtal - Adventures of Robinson Crusoe They just re-did the theme exactly the way it originaly was. It isn't on You Tube and I am not making this. Was not impressed. A rare miss by Orbital.
Ebn-Ozn - AEIOU Sometimes Y Ahh the eighties. They made anything and everything into a pop New Wave song. Here is an example. Pronounced EEBEN-OHZEN, the group formed in 1981 in New York. There album, Feeling Cavalier, had a huge breakout hit that was featured on heavy rotation on MTV. Yes, this song. Have a listen.
