Melodical Exposure

Welcome to the latest edition of Melodical Exposure. I'm still not diggin the name of this post, but it'll have to do for now. Anyways, I ran across this guy a while ago, but I thought it would be great to share his talent with the few readers I have :) They can pass it on too *hint hint* :)

Anyways, his name is Sam Sparro and he's from London. He's so adorable, he has his own sound and style and he is TALENTED. He mixes funk with electronica type music, and his clothing style is an amped up 80s theme (the best I can desribe it). His voice it amazing too. He even does a pretty boss cover (but turn this up, its recorded pretty low for some reason). He seems pretty goofy too, as you will see in his parody of a music video. :)

Anyways, with out further ado, here is the song that got me hooked on him, Cottonmouth:




trivia: he writes, performs, produces and arranges all of his own material! TALENT! :)

Here are (3) more of his tunes for your listening pleasure, just push play!:

Reminiscing

I was just surfing the web, getting rather bored with it, when I came across a movie that me and my siblings would watch ALL THE TIME (not to mention many others. My mom must have gotten aNNOYed with us lol). Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I have not seen this movie in God knows how long. But I was on YouTube and I found my favorite part of the movie (well, one of them anyways. Who am I kidding, the whole thing is awesome!)

Haha this is so catchy!
And now that I am reminiscing, lets get some more Dick Van Dyke on here:

That was another one of our favorites.
And can't forget the dirty chimney sweepers (my fave)

*sigh* this can go on for pages, but I will (with great reluctance) end it here. There will be more to come in the future though, rest assured.

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson. How can I NOT mentioned him? He was an amazing person, with unmatched talent, a heart for children and helping and changing this world for the better. He is an inspiration for us all. He donated money to and helped countless charities (I remember hearing somewhere that there was over 39 he contributed to). He lived like a child, with animals all over his property, visiting Disneyland and enjoying the company of people. He was remarkable. People say that his couplings were "odd" or "strange", like for instance him and Liza Minnellie, or him and Brooke Shields, or him and Diana Ross or Macaulay Culkin or whoever. But the very fact that he hung out and created these "odd couplings" pays homage to his person: he was like a child, he did not care who he hung out with or who he befriended, just as long as they were good people and he enjoyed hanging out with them. That's all that mattered. That's all that does matter. He knew what was going on. He wanted to change the world, and as he said "It don't matter if you're black or white". It doesn't matter. We shouldn't even have picture captions and articles stating "odd couplings" or the like. It doesn't matter.

Brook Shields spoke at his memorial today. I think she did a fantastic job. She brought his person down to earth, made people see the "Man in the Mirror" as he would say. She painted a picture of the real Michael Jackson, joking, laughing, happy, playful, like a child. He was WELL loved and look up to. He did great things for this world, bringing people together, helping others, and influencing others to do the same. I hope he is remembered for the greatness that he has done. I know he is going to be greatly missed, but when the Big Guy upstairs calls its time to come on home.


This just shows how caring and loving he really was
