$2,300 for a Signature Guitar? Puhleeze

George Benson came out with a new album. His name sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, that's what I thought, so off to google I go. Guess what, we have George Benson to thank for hits like "On Broadway" and "Breezin' ". Hell yeah, motherf*ckers.

The reason for my sudden urge to dig up the creator of these musical diamonds? This genius released a new album. So, naturally we here at the Marvelous Observations are bound to cover it. Kind of like Roman Polanski - but not really at all. Except maybe if someone could dig up some dirt on this "10 x Grammy-winning" singer/songwriter. OMG 10 times? sheesh.

Point is, "Songs And Stories" is in stores now. The first single "Family Reunion" can be sampled here.

He looks like he would sell a $2,300 guitar - I bet he has some other shit that would totally blow your mind. Like in-pool cuff links made of titanium for his chinchilla bath robe which under no circumstances should be near water (unless you can afford buying a new one every time that happens - which of course this guy totally can - 10 grammys. duh!)

In my opinion, anyone who is interested in this has the money to buy it: THERE

Wow, more TV to obsess about

OMG guys! As if TV could get any more interesting. Spike TV is searching for the Ultimate Girl...and the choices will make your head spin. These ladies are not only hot but they also like manly things like porn and video games. gasp. You don't believe me, I can tell. Well, check it out for yourselves and vote for your favorite. And me, my doctor said I should do something to get my heart racing - like, everyday.

Check out the sampling and feel free to visit

See what I mean? The rest is just too f*cking hot to post on the PG 13 internet

Minor Obsession: TV Shows.

Ha, do you think it's racist that the Sgt. Doakes is wearing gators?

Funny People Not Actually Funny

Hello - I got the soundtrack for the hailed uber alles Judd Apatow flick "Funny People". I don't really care about it. That doesn't mean it's not good, i just don't care. Plus, with this one they went all kinds of over board, with Lennon songs performed by Adam Sandler, and unreleased Wilco track, etc. Quelle Joie!

I don't care for Wilco, and I think it's weird that Judd Apatow's daughter is on the release. What a bunch of weirdness. That, in and of itself, justifies a post. Is this some form of nepotism? Who knows. And she sings "Memory" - that bit from CATS. I used to love that musical. I named my first pet cat after one of the CATS in the CATS musical. But that's neither here nor there. More about the album...oh yeah, Adam Sandler can't sing so well. The other songs are cool, if you're into that sort of stuff aaaaaaaaand we're lucky Seth Rogen didn't pull out his kazzoo. EYOOO!!! get it? I just made fun of Seth Rogen.

But this is kind of interesting - Check out John Lennon's "Watching The Wheels"
For many, that song alone makes this disc worth the purchase.

Peace!

"remix jam session mixtape" - yeah, I'm sure

You like good music? I like good music some. So does Melanie Fiona, apparently. And....Indians? You like Indians, Fiona? Shoot your costume director. But one thing they can't take from you, is that you can sing. For sure. If people from Philly think so, then there's not much reason to dispute it.

So you got ?uestlove to do a "remix jam session mixtape" of your album, The Bridge? That's pretty awesome too. Apparently he can play the drums and it sounds like a drum machine. In fact, he took a picture over my shoulder once, and let me tell you, I almost melted. But back to the point. Music. For those of you who are into soul, download the "remix jam session mixtape":

http://www.zshare.net/download/62679118d27a6686

Cus it's FREE! And I don't mind free.

Props to ?uestlove for putting out free music, OKAY PLAYER! You're cool. And as a taste maker, well, he's (mostly) on the money. But Fiona, as a soul connoisseur it is absolutely imperative that you have a record player. Srsly! Ladies and Gentlemen, if you don't believe me, look for yourself. It's a video. You're cute, Melanie. Tata!

90's Throwbacks Are the New Black

The Marvelous Observers trend spotters have come across a curious phenomenon: 90's throwbacks!

Bbbut, it was only 10 years ago, you say? We know. But Rob Thomas thinks it may be worth something.

HA, are you serious? the Goo Goo Dolls called, they want their bracelets back. Rob Thomas, go home! It wasn't good when it first came out and it's not good now. And just cus it's "captured in High-Definition with 5.1 Surround Sound" doesn't make it worth my money.

With back up singers and a real keyboard you give the impression of having put some serious thought into how to squeeze every last dime out of your past fame. Unfortunately WE ARE ON TO YOU! Nothing escapes these eagle eyes.

The Internet is omniscient though, so we shall give it the option to judge for itself - samples to follow:

Gah! I cannot voice my disinterest loudly enough. But 'tis the beauty of the intertubes; if one frustrated hipster screams in a forest (aka the internet) of frustrated hipsters - can any one hear? YES! YOU'RE READING THIS, AREN'T YOU!
