Thing a Week 17 – I Will
Easing back in with a Beatles cover this week. This song has been floating around in my head for quite a while, who knows why – maybe I’m in love. I think this may be the sweetest love song ever written, so I’ve recorded it without any winking or irony or irreverence. Just straight ahead sappy. And say what you want about Paul, but it takes guts to write a line like “Love you forever and forever, love you with all my heart” and never look back.
Jawbone Interview
I did an interview with the delightful Len and Nora on the Jawbone Radio podcast which you can listen to here: JC on Jawbone. I’m always amazed that these podcasters can keep the conversation rolling and interesting when they’re talking to complete strangers over Skype. I can’t even do that with friends in the same room.
Also, did anyone see John Hodgman on the Daily Show again last night? That man is fast becoming the new king of all media…
Oops
I know, Friday came and went and no Thing. Unfortunately, this week has conspired against me in several ways and now I have nothing. But I am alive, thanks for asking. I apologize to you and me both, and I placate us thusly:
1) Mark Forman has posted this mashup of JC songs and a Brad Sucks song. It sounds like an iPod with a bad case of demonic possession. Speaking of Brad Sucks, if you’ve never heard his stuff before, you should check him out immediately. He’s another unsigned, Creative Commons, one man operation who gives lots of music away, and I think he’s a great songwriter and musician. Give him a little love, would you?
2) Kevin Gray sends me a video for “Drive” – the car commercial vibe is now in full effect. Kevin is the guy who did that Baby Got Back video I linked to earlier, featuring a lot of lady butts. As you might imagine, this one’s a little less butt-y.
Thanks to both Mark and Kevin for contributing to the creative soup around here.
3) I almost forgot, I did an interview for a German newspaper about Flickr and other things. They translated me into German, and it’s kind of fun to read the re-translation back to English via Google. I sound like a crazy person.
Now: onward.
CES Podcast
CES is over, but your sound journey through our CES experience is just beginning. The podcast is now posted on the PopSci site. There is a 30-second piece of Coulton gold in the form of a CES podcast theme song somewhere in there, also audio proof that I apparently love robots more than old people. Enjoy!
