Tuesday Tunes

Published by Kirsten at 1:55 am under BUY, Music, YouTube

On Sunday night, Boyfriend and I went to see Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine in concert. For those who don’t know, Richard Cheese is a lounge singer, very much in the style of Bill Murray’s SNL character Nick the Lounge Singer, but this is different in that you actually want to watch it. The show was awesome! Schmaltzy, swanky, hip, and of course there was Dick! If you ever get the chance to see Richard Cheese perform such classics as Smack My Bitch Up, the Clorox 2 jingle, Another Brick in the Wall, and of course Christmas in Las Vegas, then you must get thee to a Dick Cheese concert asap, because they won’t be touring much longer.

And, the long awaited mix. Ok, for me at least. This is the first of two theme mixes that I’ve signed up for, and let me tell you, my fellow exchangers are very clever! I was originally going to do a theme of Rain, which is one I actually have wanted to make for a long time, and that mix came out really, really good, IMHO. But I received a mix on Water, and not sure if it’s the same group, but also a mix on Weather, so Rain got shelved for a bit. That being said, I decided to do my mix about traveling music.

I broke a rule I have by including more than one song by the same artist (actually, I did this twice). But there were some pretty good songs, and it seems that some singers like road music, so what the heck. It all flows pretty darn good.

So there ya go, my latest musical adventures. Go enjoy yourself some music, will ya?

    sounds like a cool thing to go too…I usually go to plays in NY with my girlfriend since we live in NJ but I didn’t know things like lounge singing even existed ;)

    Matthew - Thanks for visiting! I’m not sure where in NJ you are or how close to the city you are (my uncle is really convenient to a NJ Transit station, therefore easy trip to NYC), but check out timeout.com/newyork or villagevoice.com to see what’s playing on your next trip into the city.

    Natalia, that’s why I like doing these mix exchanges so much, to share the music I love and to find new music. I hope you enjoy it!
