Grease (1978) is a classic musical about the 50s. John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John were wonderful in this ultimate coming of age story told from both points of views, from the warped and exaggerated male perspective and the twisted and romanticized female angle. The best example demonstrated in the fantastic “Summer Nights” number where Danny…
I really liked Alisha back in the day. She had a bunch of dance hits and even a song from the popular motion picture “Mannequin” starring Kim Catrall. Here are some of my favorite Alisha songs. Here’s Baby Talk, which was one of the first hits she had. All Night Passion was about big dance…
Here’s one of Janet’s best songs. It’s from 1987, way back when she started her career.It’s all about being patient and not rushing things. It’s a message that’s especially important these days in our microwave society where everyone wants everything NOW! People want to skip the appetizers and even the main course and jump straight…
I love Ne-Yo’s “Sexy Love” and totally enjoyed the performance by Alison and Ivan in season 2 of So You Think You Can Dance with this song. It’s a hip-hop number with a sweet story. The best part is the very end when he puts his coat on her and she opens her umbrella and…

I love Joshua Kadison and “Jessie” which was a hit in 1993. He wrote it for his ex-girlfriend Sarah Jessica Parker who wasn’t anywhere near as popular as she is today. It’s a beautiful song even without all this interesting subtext. It truly captures the essence of being a slave to your own heart and…

What is twine? Well, it’s like wikipedia mashed up with delicious, evernote and a wiki only with web 3.0…
Here I was watching American Idol on Tivo and about to scan through the commercials as I normally do but I was surfing the web so a Liberty Mutual commercial started playing. I really liked the music they used for the spot so I decided not to skip it. I then got hooked into the…
Fatso (1980) is a hilarious and heart-warming movie written and directed by none other than Anne Bancroft! Yes, Mrs. Robinson from The Graduate! I guess being married to the legendary Mel Brooks so many years rubbed off? Dom Deluise is brilliant in this humorous look at an Italian man’s battle of the bulge. I loved…
