They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.) by Pete Rock and CL Smooth was a hip hop classic. From the 1992 album Mecca & the Soul Brother, I can’t believe it’s 30 years old. Sampling a bit of Tom Scott’s version of Jefferson Airplane’s “Today”, it tells…

Top Gun: Maverick (dir. by Joseph Kosinski)
From the moment it was announced, I had low expectations for Top Gun: Maverick. I figured it was just Tom Cruise milking his other franchise for what it’s worth. I mean, I adore the Mission: Impossible movies, but was there ever really a need to…
A throwback – Grindhouse (dir. by Robert Rodriguez & Quentin Tarantino)
The following was posted on 4/6/2007 from my LiveJournal on Grindhouse (which is celebrating it’s 15th Anniversary). I’ll admit I respect Death Proof a bit more now than I did back then: Gotta write fast. Have to jump into shower and head for work. I…

Where Will Went Wrong…
I didn’t watch the Oscars last night, as being in my apartment, I’m not set up with Cable. The bulk of what I watch is usually through streaming networks. I followed along through Twitter, particularly with a little help from Through the Shattered Lens. Overall,…
Happy New Year (And a State of the Day Address)!
I get the whole “New Year, New Me” approach. A New Year marks a reset, and it’s good to get started with a new set of goals to complete. For everyone doing this, I wish them the best. I hope that 2022 finds you making…

Today (by Tom Scott with The California Dreamers)
In 1967, Tom Scott and the California Dreamers also borrowed and remade Jefferson Airplane’s Today, but with an upbeat Jazz style to it. Only a small portion of the lyrics from the original are used. Scott’s played with the Blues Brothers, Robbie Williams, and Tina…
Today (by Jefferson Airplane)
With newer audiences suddenly discovering Kate Bush’s “Running Down That Hill”, and everyone who grew up in the 80s enjoying the new found love, it’s interesting how music is lost and found again. The right melody can inspire new remakes and variants. I can’t say…
