Life 101: With The Benefit Of Hindsight …
Hi,
Today I heard there was a new Pink Floyd reissue deluxe package thing of Wish You Were Here. Since I have access to all of the world’s recorded music through a $5 per month subscription to Spotify, I thought I would give one of the live tracks a listen because, as everybody knows, “Pink Floyd really gets it.” Imagine my dismay when I encountered the artist “Pink Floyd For Piano” and then the following message when trying, as I had with the new Coldplay album and the recent Adelle album, to listen to PInk Floyd on Spotify: “Unfortunately there are some artists who have opted not to be a part of Spotify at this point in time. Some frequently requested artists that are not in Spotify include Metallica, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, AC/DC and Led Zeppelin. We hope that they change their minds regarding streaming soon!” Good thing I get to listen to Toby Keith whenever I want.
In unrelated news, if you listen close to the following youtube clip of a promo for a TV show, you can hear me singing along with America as one of the great thespians from an era called “The 1990’s” is welcomed back to something called “prime time.”
For those of you who love me and my ability to do things like “eat” and “pay rent” there is a demo version of the song where I sing the lead vocal available for your listening pleasure at the low price of $19.95. Please send check or money order to PO BOX 1340, NY, NY 10013. Or if you too live in the 21st century, or simply have an aversion to meaningful communication, you can send your $19.95 via something called paypal to the following email address: imbasile@gmail.com
In unrelated news, do you ever wonder how Cee Lo can sing so high?
In more news about hindsight and being a real manly man, I bet Joe Paterno wishes he was a better singer. Yeah … raar raar. Grid Iron! Raar! Raar! Pig Skin! Raar!
In unrelated news, my favorite lyric from “close but no guitars” LA rocker band Joy The Bug has always been “… are you sorry for the crime, or that you got caught?”
Finally, you should join me at Rockwood Music Hall tonight where I’ll be watching All Night Chemists release their new single.
Mwah!

P.S. I heard this today on hypem.com and thought it was kinda cool.
