…to my music, looking for a harvest soundtrack, my night music. There were some old favorites like Elvis and the Brodskys, but newer things too, like Robert Francis, especially his song Tunnels. Or Wilco's last record, The Whole Love, which absolutely destroys me, especially Black Moon. It's so good. And Birdy's cover of 1901, turning what might be a love song into an elegy, appropriately.
Somewhere between 1 and 3am I'd wrap things up. This wasn't every night …
…in amidst the amaranthine little blooming army men, blatant ponies with baneful acrylic and clover Elvis mirrors, you'll apparently acquisition a affected adaptable buzz or two. Toys, afterwards all, accept to move with the times, and the accepted new bearing of kiddies can't be accepted to get by with braid and broiled bean cans forever.
Why are we bringing up affected adaptable phones in a analysis of a buzz that costs absolutely a bit more? Well, aloof as those affected adaptable …
Now, if I could only get Elvis to spruik my blog, it might actually make money!

And finally, some advice to " Bachelor Ben" Flajnik : I love you, baby, and your pals Mikey and Danny, but dudes, that Bachelor thing is so over! I mean, Ben, you're still milking it even after nobody remembers a thing about the actual show, except that those grrrrlz were really baring their claws all season while you just, well, looked cute. It doesn't help to grant an interview …
Ahh yes, the old Scottish folk song that has been sung to children by many from Elvis to Bob Dylan to even Kermit the Frog, - - of course. Now days, when I think of the wines of Cayuse Vineyards, I cannot help but think of that song due to the Bionic Frog Syrah label.
This holiday weekend the town of Walla Walla will be filled with wine lovers picking up their allotments of the obscure, the remote, and the revered biodynamic wines of Cayuse produced by French born vigneron…
…Communists, McCarthyism, "duck and cover" atom bomb drills, Elvis, Chuck Berry, the Rosenberg spy saga and other odds and ends.
But the evening's entertainment, and it is mostly an entertaining evening, gives us the tale that never gets old -- boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl and we all leave smiling after a tuneful finale. Ryan Foizey is first-rate as Wade ( Cry-Baby) Walker, our hero, complete with ducktail haircut, and New Line regular Taylor Pietz…
Sometime around 7:30 the first course came out. It was the Elvis sandwich accompanied by the Bourbon Milk Shake. The two worked well together. I'm usually accustomed to this much sweetness at the end of the meal, but in some weird way it all actually performed admirably as a lead course. There wasn't much of description on the menu, and the servers offered no clues, but the peanut butter and banana inside a kind of toast was off-set by what we thought was a very nice carmelized …
…fabulously and is at least their best red since the 2005 La Mort Du Roi ( Elvis Died For Your Sins) "Hill of Graceland" Syrah. So far, opinions are rapturous from the handful of consumers, uber-winemakers, and unter-sommeliers that have tried it.

…been several other establishments, and now its dark, simple decor is marked by two pinball machines ( Elvis and Space Shuttle, for inquiring minds) and a movie playing silently on a wall. At least we think it was silently; the music was turned up enough that we had to work a little to hear each other across the table. Church-pew booths and high tables are accompanied by a good-sized bar with a large chalkboard of beer options, and there's a porch in the rear.
Elvis Died For Somebody's Sins But Not Mine
Look, nobody's pretending this is Picasso or anything.
But what IS art, really? Skill? Craftsmanship? A sense of humor? There are unquestioned masterpieces hanging in museums all over the world that carry those descriptions. So what makes this " Elvis Died For Our Sins" poster into something perfect for the bathroom or wine cellar and not, say, framed on the living room wall?
We'll tell you. Just time.
Look …
…I took up the harmonica and played along with Jimmy. I turned into a big fan of Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis's country lps, Muddy Waters. My next CD, Donuts and Coffee, has two of Muddy's songs on it. And how can one not have been influenced by Bob Dylan. There was the period when Dylan and the Stones yearly were releasing classics, incredible songwriting and performances. Later, in France of all things, Richard Olney turned me on to Billie Holiday. He was a …
