do the Bartman!

I never saw The Simpsons Movie. I personally think The Simpsons are no longer funny, and haven't been since the early 2000's. I will be like Bart, and vow not to see the film until I am Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.





Ullman shorts, Christmas show,
Marge's fling, Homer's bro,
Bart in well, Flanders fails,
Whacking snakes, Monorail,
Mr. Plow, Homer in space,
Sideshow Bob steps on rakes,
Lisa's future, Selma's hubby,
Marge not proud, Homer chubby,
Homer worries Bart is gay,
Poochie, U2, NRA,
Hippies, Vegas, and Japan,
Octuplets, and Bart's boy band,
Marge murmurs, Maude croaks,
Lisa Buddhas, Homer tokes,
Maggie blows Burns away,
What else do I have to say?!

You'll never stop the Simpsons,
Have no fears, we've got stories for years like...

Marge becomes a robot,
Maybe Moe gets a cell phone,
Has Bart ever owned a bear or...

How about a crazy wedding?
Where something happens, and do-do do-do-do
Sorry for the clip show!
Have no fears, we've got stories for years!

under the cover - enjoy the silence

Blogging away in LA is back, and this time I'm looking at the newest cover variation of the Depeche Mode classic tune Enjoy the Silence by hot band Division Day. In my opinion they have managed to create a unique sound as an ode to an aforementioned classic.

Back in 1998, the alternative rock band Failure released their cover as part of the Depeche Mode tribute compilation For The Masses. In 2004, Enjoy the Silence was re-released as a single for the Depeche Mode remix project Remixes 81 - 04, and was titled Enjoy the Silence (Reinterpreted) or, more simply Enjoy the Silence 04. The "Reinterpreted" version was remixed by Mike Shinoda, rapper/producer for Linkin Park.
