Macca Is A Racial Slur

At least I thought so a little while ago. Then I realized it was actually what people call Sir Paul McCartney (of The Beatles fame). Which has nothing to do with racism. (There is a bird called macaw and back in the day a politician called a poor Laotian boy a macaw - this went public, etcetc, you can imagine the rest AND my confusion end) but the point here is that Sir Paul McCartney will release a new album, and THEN he'll go on tour. Only in Europe though - he'll be playing 7 shows from Dec 2 to Dec 22nd.

Tour Dates:

2 December - Hamburg Color Line Arena

3 December - Berlin O2 World

9 December - Arnhem Gelredome

10 December - Paris Bercy

16 December - Cologne Koln Arena

20 December - Dublin O2

22 December - London O2 Arena


But before that, he's releasing a CD/DVD of the two shows he did at Citi Field in July 09 and boy won't that be fun. Here's what it'll look like and where you can buy it.

Buy IT and weep like the little fanboy/girl you are

FANTAWEFUL

Damn straight, I just made up a new word. Cus that's what this guy requires: New Words. There's no other way to describe it. This joker, pun intended, or, maybe not at all, just released a new video. I'm supposed to recognize him from a Dodge commercial. Internet, what do you want from me?

View it here if you love America!

There are a couple of things that I truly have issues with. Apart from expensive drinks and hair gel overload, I really despise church friendly comedy. It's rarely funny because it seems forced. Although, I nearly pissed myself when I heard a joke involving a sea horse. But I don't see this guy doing nautical humor. And red neck observational humor is not my bag. Blame it on my coastal elitism. But in case it is, please, don't let my judgment stand in your way of purchasing this prime example of what I would call a money making scheme:
Let's Git'er Done!

I bet you'd think that was funny if Larry the fucking Cable Guy said it.

What, I just dropped the mic and walked off stage. There. Have a good weekend.

$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

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!
