It's a little past Wednesday but have to get this in. We just finished "Funny People" - it was pretty funny in parts and really crude in other parts. Anyway they finished the movie off with this song which reminded me how much I love it and being that John Lennon's Birthday was this past weekend thought I better get this up for Wednesday Tunes.

Wednesday Tunes
Some weeks I forget what day it is. This is one of those weeks.
Watched a movie a while back called "Wind that Shakes the Barley". After visting Ireland, I decided to watch it again, makes more sense now that I know more about Irish history. You don't have to go to a place to learn the history but visiting Ireland peaked my interest and I've been reading books and watching movies (well one movie) about Irish history. Great movie and highly recommended by me. Anywho....... here's a song that is in the movie - "Óró Sé do Bheatha 'Bhaile"
Óró Sé do Bheatha 'Bhaile -
Here is a full version
The Dubliners - Óró Sé do Bheatha Bhaile
Here are the words
English translation
(Chorus)
Oh-ro You're welcome home,
Oh-ro You're welcome home,
Oh-ro You're welcome home...
Now that summer's coming!
Welcome oh woman who was so afflicted,
It was our ruin that you were in bondage,
Our fine land in the possession of thieves...
And you sold to the foreigners!
Chorus
Gráinne O'Malley[5] is coming over the sea,
Armed warriors along with her as her guard,
They are Irishmen, not foreigners nor Spanish...
And they will rout the foreigners!
Chorus
May it please the King of Miracles that we might see,
Although we may live for a week once after,
Gráinne Mhaol and a thousand warriors...
Dispersing the foreigners!

I know I'm a bit early, it's only Tuesday but I'm in the midst of writing papers for finals and when I write papers I like pumping music and this semester its been Timbaland. He just came out with a new cd that I got from Amazon - $4 cheaper then iTunes. Anyway, it's kinda embarrassing admitting this but one of my favorite songs is the Miley Cyrus song. Judge me how you will, but I like it and to make sure you dont get any ideas, I also like Snoop Doggs new cd.

Wednesday's Tunes Yanks v. Phills
I'm not much of a baseball fan, first game I watched this year was a Dodgers-Yankees game 3. I can't tell you who plays for who or even know who you are talking about if you mention a players name. I have no idea why people either love or hate A-Rod - I just know that he's the man. I really wanted to see a LA World Series, I'm sure that's why neither team won. I have no idea who I want to win but I'm sure it will be a good serious - least I hope.
I think that the busier I get the more I watch sports. I don't remember the last time I've watched this much baseball - or even this much college football. Probably sometime before I was married. Not saying that I haven't been busy, but now that I'm busier then I have ever been - I find myself avoiding things (like now I should be doing homework) and watching sports.
Anyway - I really like the Jay-Z/Keys song Empire State of Mind. The song makes me want to live in New York. I've been to Philli, I enjoyed it, spent about a week there and was able to see most of the city. I have yet to visit NYC but it's on the top of my list of places to visit. So I can't compair the cities. I am waiting for a Salt State of Mind song -
Both teams are using the song to get them pumped up for games and during practice. Both teams have a different take on the song and some rapper in Philli changed the song a bit. Jay-Z & Alica Keys are performing the song for game 1 and it's rumored that Philli might be playing the other song at game 3. So here are both versions -
Jay-Z Alica Keys "Empire State of Mind"
NeeKo ft. Deana Marie - "ILL STATE OF MIND"

I've been s l o w l y watching the PBS Ken Burns documentary THE NATIONAL PARKS: AMERICA'S BEST IDEA and I have finally made it to the 3rd episode! I didn't know that this song was the Grand Canyon Suite and was written for the Grand Canyon. Enjoy

I had a hard time choosing today's tunes but concluded on this one. Hope you like it.

Yes! We are still alive! Just really busy with life and all the fun stuff that comes with it. Thought that since I'm in the mist of finals and crazy work I'd take a minute to update our long lost blog.
Here ya go!

Not sure if I'm going to continue Wednesday tunes on a regular basis but at least when I have a cool video or song that I really want to share like this one.

Ran across this blog that layed out their Top 40 TV Theme Songs. While most of them I agree, are classics and do indeed belong in the top 40, a few were a bit off and of course my favorite wasn't even on there. MASH and Cheers are listed at #2 & #1, while the Cheers theme is great the MASH theme is so much better. I think that Sesame Street and the Simpson's should have been closer to the front with The Dukes of Hazard up in the top 5. A few of the shows I've never heard of, while some of the others brought back some good 'ol kid time memories. They also left off Mr. Rogers, how could they do that?
If I had more time I'd list my top 20 but this will have to do.
So here it is the theme to Smallville my #1. I have never heard the whole song before, the actual theme that they use for the show starts at round 3:25ish.
Remy Zero - Save Me (Smallville Theme)

Today is a two for one day.
While we were out shopping last weekend, cash saw a skateboard and wanted it. It was being used as a decoration and he was ticked I wouldn't let him play with it. (By the way this was the first time I had been in a mall in about a year). Then the other night he told T and her mom that he wanted a skateboard for Christmas. So last night T showed him some skate videos. Yeah, him and G money can do these things. "gavin and me do that"
Goldfinger - Superman
This next video is what I have been listening to for the past month. b dances around the house while singing this song, unfortunately she only knows some of the words so its the same words over and over again. Of course cash caught on and he is now singing the same words over and over again also.
