This year will be the first year the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade doesn't head down Broadway for its Herald Square finale outside Macy's. Instead, the procession of balloons, floats and performers will head down Seventh and Sixth Avenues, partially due to the new pedestrian plazas in Times Square and partially because 7th and 6th Avenues are wider (in 2005, some parade watchers were struck by M&M...
Reality star Kelly Osbourne fell on her butt between her partner Louis van Amstel’s legs during their final performance of a freestyle disco routine to the sound of Gloria Gaynor’s hit ‘I Will Survive’ on Dancing With The Stars on Monday (November 23) – watch video below. Against all odds, Kelly is in the season finale [...]
My radio focus these days consists of drive time sports chatter or the local oldies station that play the usual suspects (Beatles, Motown, Gloria Gaynor, etc.) Occasionally I'll slip in a treasured Baikinange CD on my piece of shit car stereo for some "culture", but basically I'm a lazy ass, content to mull over the merits of yesterday's hits and misses. Driving home this evening, tired of...
Filed under: Programming , OpEd , Music and Variety , Celebrities , 30 Rock , Reality-Free Well, we know that the singers from Glee were not welcomed into the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade thanks to NBC's territorial attitude. Still, that doesn't mean we won't be watching on Turkey Day. NBC, in fact, will feature one of their own prominently that morning -- 30 Rock 's Jane Krakowski will be singing...
I think they had a good time... Apparently Ben Elton and Shane Richie were in the audience, so there were at least four of them there. Which I think is an improvement on the last time Sis saw the Nolans. Lisa described it to me as “a bit like a Chippendales show” . And frankly she should know. On the downside, Sis expressed her slight disappointment that the Nolans barely sang any Nolans...
Last week, I got to sit front row during an intimate concert with disco icon Gloria Gaynor at The GRAMMY Museum at L.A. Live. The Q&A and concert was celebrating the 30th anniversary of the diva’s hit song "I Will Survive." Other hits for Gaynor include, “I Am Who I Am” and “Never Can Say Goodbye,” which were also popular in the dance days of the 70s. In...
Learning from the jazz pop instrumental — I seem to wind up in the car for at least part of the early afternoon every Saturday. As a result, I've developed a habit of listening to the reruns of America's Top 40 with Casey Kasem that play on satellite radio channel 70s on 7. This week's chart was from thirty years ago exactly, October 29, 1979. The number one song pushed the previous week's top...
I haven't blogged for absolutely ages, because nothing of interest or importance has been going on in my life. But in just seven days time it's Halloween! The tranny's favourite holiday! Well-over a year ago I had a play at cybergoth . It was a bit half arsed, but the acrylic yarn hair-falls worked out pretty well. ( photo here ). I then revisited the look again for my birthday drinkies that year (...
I am picking myself up by the bootstraps lately. As the comedian said, if it's not one thing it's your mother. Good in Parts, as so often, comes to the rescue with words from an unlikely source. Much though I respect his ideas, I never think of Luther as a cheery chap. But he said this: "I have no use for cranks who despise music, because it is a gift of God. Music drives away the Devil and makes...
Having already tasted defeat at the hands of Trinidad and Tobago in the early stages of the Twenty20 Champions League, New South Wales captain, Simon Katich had no choice but to send out a Gloria Gaynor-style message of defiance when it became apparent the sides would be meeting again in the final. Although he didn’t really [...]

That's the chipper sub-head on Paul Farrell's latest at MarketWatch: ...That's why a man like Hong Kong's contrarian economist Marc Faber warns in his Doom, Boom & Gloom Report: "The future will be a total disaster, with a collapse of our capitalistic system as we know it today." No, not just another meltdown, another bear market recession like the one recently triggered by Wall Street's...
