Basically this will be a blog about anything that springs to my mind. Some****s it'll be completely random and other ****s there will be cogent and well thought out treatises on varying subjects.

Song of the Week #6: "John Shaft" - Sammy Davis Jr.

Posted 01-06-2009 at 08:19 AM by SPTO
I bet you thought this feature was dead eh?

Here's a totally obscure song to me at least. This is Sammy Davis' version of the Shaft theme. I tell you I don't know whether to laugh or cry over this but it's well, unique to say the least.

My Sleeping Pattern Sucks plus Song of the Week #6

Posted 12-16-2008 at 04:59 AM by SPTO
Before we get to the highlight of the week on my little blogspace I need to bitch about my sleeping pattern. So I go through stretches where I can't sleep at all at night and then I end up sleeping at 7-8 AM and wake up around 3 or 4 PM. I can live with that but then I go through seemingly longer stretches like the one i'm in now where I can't even stay up past 9 PM! I invariably wake up in the middle of the night and can't fall back to sleep. This plays havoc on me and I hate it.

Song of the Week #5 "I want to come home for Christmas"

Posted 12-10-2008 at 04:53 AM by SPTO
OK I know I love Marvin Gaye music too much but this one is worth posting because it was so very rare. Marvin only did a handful of Christmas songs in his career and this one is probably the best of the bunch.

Song of the Week #3: "I was country when country wasn't cool"

Posted 11-25-2008 at 12:13 PM by SPTO
Howdy Pardners!

Yep, well as you can see my tastes aren't just for Marvin Gaye. So here's the background, This was a hit song for Barbara Mandrell in 1981 off her Barbara Mandrell Live and reached all the way to #1 on the Country charts and #14 on the Adult Contemporary charts. The song was originally recorded with George Jones but this video is of her performance from the 1981 CMAs where she performs the song solo.
