What's on my mind today?
Well, yesterday was certainly a whirlwind day for “weird Al” Yankovic (and his fans.)
The controversy started when Al wrote a blog post detailing his issues when trying to get Lady Gaga to approve a parody of her song “Born This Way” called “Perform This Way.” Definitely give his blog post a read – he is [...]
For a long time, every time we’d walk into Buy Buy Baby (which is incredibly often, as you might imagine), I would be intrigued by their displays of Rockabye Baby! Cd’s. For those who don’t know, these are discs of popular music that have been converted into baby-friendly songs.
The idea is simple – music that [...]
And now, for an alannoah.com analysis of Brian McKnight’s song ‘Back at One.’ If you need a refresher in this song, watch the video:
Let’s review the chorus, which includes the five “steps” outlined in the song:
One, you’re like a dream come true
Two, just wanna be with you
Three, girl it’s plain to see
That you’re the [...]
Earlier this week, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced the nominees for next year’s induction ceremony, and there are some pretty fun bands on the list this go around: there’s Alice Cooper, the Beastie Boys, Neil Diamond, J. Geils Band, LL Cool J, and one of my all-time favorite rock bands, Bon Jovi. [...]
This may stir up some debate, as it is highly subjective, but the following shows get my nod for the greatest theme songs in the history of television, broken down by specific category. Some of the videos have hits or glitches or are slightly cut off, but nonetheless, enjoy the musical interlude- Happy Friday!
The [...]
Say it is so! If Al Jardine is to be believed, plans are in the works for a reunion concert with himself, Mike Love, Bruce Johnston, and even genius/sometime recluse Brian Wilson. Jardine also said guitarist David Marks, who was with the group for a short while in the early days, may join in as [...]
This isn’t the first time that Led Zeppelin has been accused of ripping off another band’s music… Have you ever heard “Taurus” by Spirit? It sounds eerily familiar to “Stairway to Heaven.” Check it out, it really kicks in around 47 seconds in.
Well now there’s a new lawsuit that alleges that the song [...]
It’s been all over the web today: Weird Al Yankovic told billboard.com that he only has three parodies left to record for his new album – and that Lady Gaga is “a great candidate” to be parodied. I, for one, totally agree. Not that I’m an expert on popular music or anything, but her music [...]
Caveat – Eli is a VERY good sleeper, and usually only gets up once a night. Lately he’s been on a kick where he’s been pretty much sleeping all the way through! But with work and so much other stuff to do, sometimes I just hear this song playing over and over again.
Hey [...]
Every December, a ton of “Best of the Year” lists pop up everywhere, and they can get old pretty quick, but I’m digging the “Best of the Decade” lists that I’ve been seeing lately. So I figured I’d jump on that particular bandwagon, and so I now present my list of some of [...]
