Dreams
Last night dreamt I met
Questlove in a Johnstone Street
Taqueria. Weird.
Last week dreamt I met
Snoop on a bus in Cali
Offered me a joint
What does it all mean?
Probably that I should, must
Get out a lot more

TGIF (PM)
I will never get tired of seeing that turtle faceplant into sand! His legs! Adorable.
Talk about tired! Did I tell you guys that I have increased my working week from 2 days to 3? I am so tired. I never know what day it is and the week goes really fast. And not in that good way.
Let’s celebrate Friday by remembering the genius of Snoop Dogg, RIP to the d-o-double-g. Bob Marley, you better treat Snoop Lion right, yo.
TGIF is right!

Something for everyone (AM)
Today I thought I was all ready to tell you all these thoughts I have been having about Prince. Not just Prince, but music in general. But then it got kind of confronting. Like, am I really ready to talk to you about the visceral response to music, my ideas about how live music is so awesome because it makes some imagined world created by music somehow almost tangible, but also tantalisingly less tangible, and how the first time I heard 'Gett Off' my mind was totally blown. No. No way. I am totally not ready to go there. Sorry guys. (But go and watch the clip for 'Gett Off'. It's so awesome but I can't embed it.)
'But', I thought to myself, 'What am I going to write about?' So I looked around for inspiration. And found it in one of my favourite places. The Internet! Actually, I found it right here in the back end of Miss Soft Crab, specifically in the keyword search traffic sources. Firstly, you may be interested to know that not a single Ewan McGregor-related phrase was in the top ten search terms bringing people here. 'Jedward' was (thanks Eurovision) and so was 'Seal's face' (thanks The Voice). And so was 'fish that looks like a man'. I mean, geez, you talk about a fathead sculpun one time and suddenly 'fish that looks like a man' is bringing in the audience. So I thought I would see what happened when I asked Google for a 'fish that looks like a man'. I'll tell you what happened, as I started writing the Google predictive text told me that the second most searched for fish look alike, after 'fish that looks like a dog' is 'fish that looks like hitler'. No wonder. Turns out there are a heap of those little bastards out there:
Then I decided to see what other animals look like people. There are dogs that look like Snoop Dogg. Of course.
I also tried for pigs that look like people. But apparently people only ever ask Google to find images of 'pigs that look like sheep' and 'pigs that look like a willy'. WTF, people?!? WTF?
Finally it became quite clear that I had to see if there were any dogs that look like Ewan McGreggor. Apparently there aren't, so Google offered up this instead.

They don't make them like they used to
I'm not making a judgement call on whether anything was better in the olden days than now, but last night I was watching At the Movies and they were talking about their classic film. This week it was Hud. A Paul Newman film where he plays this kind of a-hole. But he is real smooth and looks real pretty in it.
In the scene this picture is taken from he asks the female lead "Have you still got that itch?" But it's not gross. It's kind of hot. It's hard to imagine that working now.
In 1963, when Hud was made, number one hits included Roy Orbison's awesome 'In Dreams'.
And the adorable 'Sukiyaki'. (I believe 'Hello Mudda, Hello Fuddah' was also a number one that year, but only for one week so my nostalgia for a time I wasn't around for is making me overlook this fact.)
Apparently at the moment the number is a song called 'Party Rock Anthem'. Believe me when I say, this is no Roy Orbison.
Granted Snoop Dogg was also number one this year, but even Snoop Dogg isn't what he used to be. His latest number one, 'Sweat' is full of vocoder and not nearly as awesome as such classic hits as 'Gin and Juice', 'What's My Name' or even 'Drop it Like it's Hot'.
So actually I guess I am totally making a judgement on whether things were better then or now.
