Sitting In a Tin Can

For a teenager, staying up late is somewhat of a talent. And for me, no less, it lets me get lots of things done. What they are I can't repeat in polite company, but this one can be played loudly and proudly.

While reorganizing my main blog, I had the television on in the background. As I got up to get a drink, this clip for a DVD came on. And in the clip, there was David Bowie, clad in a stripped jumpsuit, singing his face out. This guy is as cool as a cucumber. Seriously. Sixty-five and still cool. By golly yes sir.

And just to note, this post contains three (3) videos because one video does not do this song justice.

From his second studio album David Bowie (the second to be named that), released in 1969, here is "Space Oddity" by David Bowie. 

Ground Control to Major Tom/ You've really made the grade/ Now the papers want to know whose shirts you wear/ Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare

Na-Na-Na

I pride myself on my taste of music. It's very peculiar. It's got some of this, a bit of that, and a little of this. But one thing that I love to hear are alternative rock bands. It's not the lyrics in particular (I never hear 'em anyways), but the melody and the beat some of them have is something that can knock you into a shake.

And I just found out that I posted this back in December as part of a three-for-one (it's #2), but I decided to bring you a replacement from the same band.

I'm proud to present "Never Saw It Coming" from the Sensation Junkies from their

2004 album Once for the Money.
And then you disappeared on me/ in the middle of the night/
Guess you changed your mind/ I never saw it coming.

Note: It seems that this band has been out-of-service since 

2004, and the only mention the Sarathan website has of it is

to an online store. I guess it really was once for the money.

Get Down, Girl

This afternoon, I went for dinner with the family. My dad and I were going to meet my mother and sister at the restaurant and we got there around 3:20. Because of traffic jams and stoplights, they were 25 minutes late and didn't get there until 3:45.

Well there I was, sitting in the car with my dad, brother and nephew, passing the time in the A/C and the radio in the background. And honestly, I'm no fan of this guy, but I guess at this time, he was a much better rapper than he is now. But I digress... until I got inside, and exchanged glances with this person looking at me across the room. That person was cute. Just saying. Wearing those brand names and shit.

From his 2005 album Late Registration, here is Kanye West with "Gold Digger."

Now I ain't saying she a gold digger/ but she ain't messin' with no broke niggas. (2x)

Get down girl/ go ahead/ get down (3x)

Note: This post includes both the CLEAN and EXPLICIT versions of the song; the music video is the CLEAN version.

This post is dedicated to my master Patricia, who fucks me, loves me,

and calls me skank at her mercy.

We Got No Innocence!

This entry on The Archenemy is
part of the One Year Anniversary
celebration of the Eddie Sigala Foundation  

Yesterday was my last school day. Everyone, from elementary to college students, look forward to this date all year long. This year was a long one, and thank God I never have to go in for instruction (although I do have to go for other stupid shit) again. I'm moving on, so I shouldn't be so lazy around this summer. And here it is folks, summer vacation.

From Alice Cooper's 1972 album School's Out is "School's Out."

Well we got no class/ And we got no principles/ 

And we got no innocence/ We can't even think of a word that rhymes

Goodbye!

This past Saturday was Kristen Wiig's last night on SNL after being on for seven years. With Mick Jagger hosting the show, he and the cast bid farewell to her with an homage to her. I passed up on Saturday's episode and instead watched Grey's Anatomy, which I now really regret. She'll be missed.

On this post here on The Archenemy, is two clips. First, the farewell clip from the May 19, 2012 telecast of Saturday Night Live, from Hulu.com (only viewable in the United States).

Second, off their 1967 album Their Satanic Majesties Request, here is the Rolling Stones' "She's a Rainbow."
