• Yacht Rock Episode 1: “What a Fool Believes”

So, did you ever wonder what prompted Michael McDonald to write the song? It had something to do with Hall & Oates and Kenny Loggins, but that’s the only hint I’ll give you. Enjoy, vagina sailors!

• The Bravia Commercial featuring Gonzalez’s “Heartbeats”

Ok so the rest of the internet saw this before me, but watch again even if it’s old news to you. Look at that frog! Beautiful.

Have a great holiday everyone, and keep in mind the deadline for the Shitty Mix Tape submissions is tonight. Tomorrow, I’m putting up a poll and everyone will be able to vote for their favorites. Winner gets a t-shirt designed by Debbie at 60 Bugs!

You know you want to. C’mon. Do it.

Man, I can’t believe they got the real John Oates to play himself in that vignette! On the other hand, Michael McDonald is currently butchering soul standards for Verizon (?) commercials at a clip that would make Michael Bolton blush if Bolton hadn’t had his sense of shame surgically removed in 1987.

Viva Pablo Cruise and Quarterflash!

I wish I could amend my list to add “Lucas With the Lid Off”

How did I overlook “Lucas With the Lid Off?” Dammit…dammit it all to hell. Yes, my library is chock full of cheesy goodness.

I stumbled across Yacht Rock a couple months ago, and my life has been so much better since. I think Episode 2 is the clear winner, though there’s a nice one with Warren G a little down the line.

If I didn’t hate L.A., I’d change my name to Hollywood Steve.
