Cover Me

Oh great album covers of the past, how I miss thee. When looking for creative inspiration, I travel back in time in my mind, drop a needle and spin an old 33. I lay on my memory's bedroom floor and stare at my favorite album cover while the songs crackle through the Panasonic speakers indenting my old brown rug. I pull out the inside sheet. Read the lyrics-if I were so lucky to have scored an album that included them. I sing along with the words and picture the dreamy rocker, said writer of such lyrics, singing very specifically to me.

The albums are long gone, but one smart site builder is keeping their hokey, arty, ridiculous, beautiful spirit alive. Take it for a spin. And make your day sing!

Best album covers ever!

Old Dog, New Tricks

Old indeed. Forty has just hit me like a load of 40 bricks. I drank a lot of Pinot Noir. Cried myself to sleep. Woke up and found a website to give me hope. I can in fact still learn something new everyday. And have fun doing so.

Fun facts. Cool graphics. Educational.

It's Elementary

A case easily solved. Clues: Guy Ritchie directing, Robert Downey Jr as lead actor, Rachel McAdams as love interest and Jude Law as sidekick. Leads you to one helluva movie.

Go see Sherlock. The writing is witty and sharp, the humor understated the action is packed and there's pretty much nothing you can't love about it.
