Is everyone having an excellent start to the weekend? If you need some musical accompaniment, you've come to the right place. Currently, I am preparing for our trip to Charlotte for HeroesCon... unfortunately, it will be even hotter tomorrow than it is now. Hydration! Packing extra kombucha and Tramadol.
Maybe I'll even meet up with my Blogdonia heroine and alter ego, Fanboy Wife. Perhaps we should have some kind of 12-Step meeting while we're there, modeled on Al-Anon: Are you married to a Fanboy? Chances are, you're as addicted to sick behavior as he is!
NO, NO, I refuse to believe it! Denial, denial!
PS: It's been awhile since I've shared my earworms, so here you go.

I recently heard this gem on our local wonder-station, WPCI-AM, and I've been hearing it in my head ever since. Just beautiful!
Passion Play - Joni Mitchell

This one also comes courtesy of WPCI... Good Lord, will you listen to this woman SING?! I have no idea how old this tune is, but it sounds ancient... raw and unglossed. Lovelovelove!
A Fool in Love - Ike and Tina Turner

I was worried, the last time I posted a song by Journey, that I'd jeopardized my musical cred... and whaddaya know, Journey's been rehabbed! Tony Soprano, we owe him.
This is what is known as a "power ballad" (did Journey actually invent the power ballad?), and if I hear it just once, these lovely intertwining riffs stay lodged in my head for weeks.
Weeks, I tell you.
Send her my love - Journey

This song has plagued me since the death of my father in late April; I'm hoping once I post it here, it will stop continuously haunting me.
Probably not, though.
Mansion on a Hill - Hank Williams
Hope you all have a great weekend.
