When I'm 70, I Want to Be William Shatner

Posted: 11 Aug 2007 11:13 AM PDT

Okay. When Mr. Shatner says "I Want You to Be You," he says it exactly as you would expect him to say it... and he has the chops to put you in your place while doing so. And when he says "well maybe not the capris," you lose the capris, dammit. This may be the highest of the high on all the Shatner albums (and this one was produced by Ben Folds, so it does exactly what it should be doing). He has become his own self-reflective empire, and that is exactly as he seems to like it. Nay, love it. Say no more. I shall say no more.

Except this.

Spit out the gum it doesn't work.

Brittni's Canon in D on 4 (Strings, This Is)

You say you wanted to hear Canon in D on Ukulele? Well here it is. And it's a fine version of it too. Maybe not what you want played at your wedding, but who am I to tell you what to play at your wedding? Honestly, you could do worse. And I rather think it's a heck of a lot more interesting to hear music that's been wrought to death by a kazillion musicians being played in an unusual way on unusual instruments rather than hear it one more time by folks dressed in tuxedoes. So this works for me. All the better for us.

Hark, It's the 80s!

Interesting primarily for its 80s appeal, this probably won't remain on my playlist for long, but it sure is fun to listen once in awhile and remember my bleached out hair and ridiculously narrow ties.

Bless those 80s, folks. And may you all have long lives and longer hair.
