My Morning Mixes: No Coolin’ Down, Just Jammin’ It HARD!
Since It’s Very Brisk Outside This Morning…
…I Decided Not To Fool Around With My Walkin’ Playlist.
I Didn’t Wanna Freeze Me Arse Toooo Much…
…So I Just Loaded-Up On Jammin’ Tunage!
I Tried To Keep My Pace UP UP UP…
…And I Accomplished This With Great Personal Efficiency!
I Led Off With A Double-Shot Of…
DEPECHE MODE
…With…
“PHOTOGRAPHIC (Live)”
…And…
“SHOUT (Live)”
Both Original Versions Are Off Of DM‘s Debut Album…
“SPEAK & SPELL“
😀 😀
Next-Up Was Just A Fun Little Jam Called…
“POUR SOME SUGAR ON ME“
by DEF LEPPARD
…Which Some Of Y’all Might Remember.
((*wink wink*))
It Does Have A Nasty Habit Of Being Played A Little Too Often For My Taste, At Times.
BUT…
…This Morning…
…It Just Felt Like It Had A Place On My Walk.
And So…
…Well…
…It Did.
😉
I Kicked Myself (and my pace) WAY UP With The Next Jam…
DARUDE‘s
“SANDSTORM“
…A Song That Holds A Very Special Place In My Little World.
It Was Actually My OFFICIAL SONG With Someone Else, Many Many Moons Ago.
I Didn’t Pick-It To Be Our Song…
…But I Was Overruled.
Don’t That Just Go ‘N Figure!?
Sheesh.
Nevertheless…
…It’s A Damn Fine Jam…
…ESPECIALLY When You Wanna Walk FASTER!
🙂 🙂
“FIND ANOTHER FOOL“
by QUARTERFLASH
…Was Up Next.
I Know, I Know…
…How Do You Follow…
DARUDE
…With…
QUARTERFLASH
?!?
This Is MY Playlist, Dammit, So Don’t Go Hatin’!
(teehehe)
😀
Moving On…
…I Threw-Down Some…
POISON
…Next, With…
“UNSKINNY BOP“
…A Song That Simply Screams FUN…
…And It’s A Damn Fine Walkin’ Tune.
Damn Fine, Indeed.
😀 😀
I Was Hurtin’ For A Touch Of…
PETER GABRIEL
…So I Popped-On His VERY Underrated Jam…
“STEAM“
…Which Is Also One Of His Most Totally Forgotten Jams.
Do You Remember It?!
See.
I Didn’t Think So.
Loser.
😉 😀 😉
I’d Been In The Mood For…
EVE 6
…Alllll Morning Looooong…
…So I Treated Myself To Their Best Bester BESTEST JAM…
“INSIDE OUT“
!! !! !!
WOOT!!!
😀
😀
I Was Totally In Cruise Mode At This Point…
…Though My Ears Were Starting To Hurt From The Coooool Breezes.
So I Decided To Stay In Cruise Mode And Point My Cruise More Homeward.
Following That Nifty Piece Of Ear-Candy, I Went Ahead And Popped On A True Classic Favorite…
“LITTLE GREEN BAG“
by GEORGE BAKER SELECTION
…And That Did Put A Little More Wiggle In My Walk, I Won’t Deny It.
Mainly Because I Can’t.
I’m Sure Someone Would Have Called Me On It Had I Decided To Play It Cool.
But I’m Not Cool.
Therefore, I Don’t Play Cool.
I Just Am.
What That “Am” Is, However, Remains A Mystery To Me.
I Sincerely Haven’t The Foggiest.
🙂
I Was Only A Couple Blocks From The House When My Final Jam Was Selected.
I Didn’t Wanna Cool Down, But I’d Been Jammin’ It HARD…
…So I Compromised With Myself.
I Went With A Song That Wasn’t Really A Cool Down…
…Just An EXCEPTIONAL PIECE Of TUNAGE…
PLACEBO‘s
“PURE MORNING“
!!! !!! !!!
😀 😀 😀
By The Time I Hit The Front Steps, I Was READY To Be INSIDE Ye Ole Homestead.
And As I’m Completing This Little Post…
…I Think My Ears Have FINALLY THAWED!
The Rest Of Me Was Pretty Much Fine Already.
But O.M.G. My Ears!
I’ll Have To Remember To Wear Something On Them Next Time.
As I’ve Already Been Told Today…
“You Should’ve Worn A Sock-Hat.“
😦
I Know I Should Have.
I Just Look Better In Baseball-Caps.
😉
Hope You’re ALL Having A Fine Morning…
…And I Hope Your Friday Goes Just Jim Dandy!
You DID Know It’s FRIDAY…
…Right?!
Good, Good.
Just Checking.
One Can Never Be Toooo Sure, Ya Know?!
Sure You Do.
😉 😀 😀 😉

(Not So) Random (Blu-ray) Movie Mention: “ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER” (2012)
Alright…
…So I Did Get ’round To Watching (On The Blu-ray)…
“ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER“
…And…
…Well…
…What Can I Say?!
Hmm.
Well…
…Honestly…
…I Had Fun.
Perhaps Even MORE Fun Than I Rightly Should Have.
Was It A Good Film?
Nah.
Not Really.
Was It A Sufficiently Sufficient “B-Movie”/Action/Horror/Schlock Flick?
Yeah.
Actually, It Was.
🙂
Is It Gonna Win An “Oscar”?
Nah.
Not At All.
Is It Gonna Get A Couple “Razzie” Noms?
Yeah.
Actually, It (likely) Will.
🙂
Do I Appear To Give A Rat’s Ass Either Way?
Nah.
Not Really.
Does That In Any Way Take Away From The Cheesy Pleasure I Received From Checking-It-Out?
NOT. AT. ALL.
Period.
😀
It Is Was It Is…
…It Is What It Was…
…It Is What It’ll Always Be…
…Cheese-Tastic.
Is That EXACTLY What I Expected It To Be?
Yep.
TOTALLY!
😀
What?!
Oh, Like You Really Had High Hopes!!
You KNOW You Didn’t.
You KNEW What It Was Going To Be.
And It Was EXACTLY That.
Cheese-Tastic.
Period.
I’ve Seen Worse Flicks, Fo SHO, My Peeps.
I Loved RUFUS SEWELL As The Big Baddie Vamp “Adam”…
…So That’s Nifty.
Mr. SEWELL Has Always Been A Personal Fave Of Mine.
A Very VERY Underrated Actor, To Say The Least.
He Helps The Flick Succeed Much More-So Than It Would Have Otherwise.
Or So I Believe.
THE BOTTOM LINE:
“ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER“
…Is…
…Was…
…Always Will Be…
…BETTER…
…Than A Poke-In-The-Eye…
…With A Sharp-Stick…
…In A K-Mart Parking-Lot.
That’s Good Enough, Right?!
Riiight.
Good Enough, Indeed.
