The only person who can properly Prince at the Grammys is… Prince. This is the Revolution at the peak of their powers in 1985. @wendyandlisa & @sheilaEdrummer tear it up, @iamjeromebenton is brilliant, and from 3:00 on? AMAZING. (With such a sweet intro!) https://t.co/eLFKWVgG8Q

I'll be honest, I'm overwhelmed with email. Drowning in it. I probably shouldn't even be posting a Friday video today as I desperately need to respond to a number of people. I am unable to break myself of the addiction to Inbox Zero. That's just a little personal admission from me, to you.

Here you go:

TECHNO DANCE! - it starts off good, then it just continues at a rate of escalation that is pleasing beyond words.
The Times of Bill Cunningham, Official Trailer - I had the distinct pleasure of seeing Bill Cunningham at some events in NYC, riding around on his bike and snapping photos. It was such a pleasant confirmation that I was in the right place. Really looking forward to this.
Spitfire: The Michael Jordan of Dogs - yea yea yea, you don't come here for 12 minute videos but how bout you jump to 1:15 and try to tell me you don't love seeing a dog leap further than any dog you've ever seen leap before in your entire life.
Negative Space - again, not your standard 30 second nugget of distraction but this stop-motion short film is Oscar nominated and quite a delight.
Happy Birthday Cody - and goodnight

Music City Tales From the 1980s: Prologue: Last Ticket to Bonertown

posted January 22, 2020 #

Starting today, Nashville Demystified is embarking on a 10-part series about Nashville in the 1980s. If the 60s and 70s laid the foundation for Country Music and the 90s skyrocketed the city through the efforts of Garth and Shania, what the heck was happening the 80s? Turns out, a lot of interesting and unfortunate things.

In this first episode, host Alex Steed takes a look at the baffling undertakings of Bill Boner; the one time Mayor of Nashville who appeared on the Donahue show with his mistress. Not a great look for our city.

I'm excited for the upcoming episodes and really happy that Alex decided to dabble in some subject matter outside of interviewing musicians. It's going to be a great series and I suggest you Subscribe to follow along.

I find myself in a YouTube hole last night that began with old, local, commercials and diverged into new and mysterious places from there. I could not be more pleased with the experience. Here's a few distractions discovered during that deep dive and a few other gems for your regular distraction needs.

Country Boy Waterbeds - get a deal on a Maximum Bedroom (get it?!) from 1987.
Tommy Cage, Keytar Shredding, Top 10 - the title tells you everything you need to know.
BBC Dracula Timelapse Ad - I think this is one of the most brilliant things I've seen in awhile.
Roundball Rock SNL - I was reminded of this treat this week; holds up.
George's bizzare adventure (seinfeld edition) - I can't say I understand everything that's happening here but I know this song is on repeat for the rest of the day.
No Beetray - same for this.
Car Commercial Features - a masterful edit.
Country Boy Waterbeds - treat yourself with another dose of Maximum Bedroom.
