Dick Bingo Karaoke Log - 02/05 though 02/17

Some catch up work, this week. I got tired of writing my songs down on the backs of karaoke slips, losing them, or not remembering when they were from. So I started using the Note Pad app on Android to go paperless and keep track as they come. No comments this time. Here they roll… 02/05 - Maloney’s East “Are You There,” Oleander “The Only,” Static-X ...

A night of discovery

As I got home today, I had the urge to listen to www.radioxy.com. It had been several years since I tuned in with any extended commitment. I set up my Bose Wave Radio in the kitchen, and plugged my Blaze Android phone into it. Short story, long—I now really want to check out more from The Brilliant Green, The Temper Trap, and Baby Grand. Other highlights were The Clash and The Buzzcocks, of...

Dick Bingo Karaoke Log - 01/29/11

“Hey Now Now”, Swirl 360 “Fly from the Inside”, Shinedown “Promise”, Eve 6 This was one fun night. Adam D was in town from Cleveland, where he took a job for the meantime. His girlfriend is in school in Atlanta, so it seems he went in the wrong direction geographically. But he can’t get enough of Cincy…or at least karaoke with friends in Cincy....

Dick Bingo Karaoke Log - 01/26/11

“You May Be Right”, Billy Joel “Candy”, Iggy Pop + Kate Pierson “Only”, Anthrax I think this was the first karaoke night in a long while during which I only did songs recorded before 1994. It was January’s birthday, and there was a different mood in the air, last night. Well, that and I am still trying to get over the aftermath of a horrible sickness....

Bringing the karaoke journal to tumblr

As some of you are aware, I have been keeping a karaoke journal on my last.fm profile since the beginning of August. Not unlike how I have logged 99% of all the gigs I have attended since 1997, I plan to keep an accurate log of karaoke songs I sing. The main purpose is to look back to see what I have not done in a while. I think it will be interesting to pair it with a daily photo (the days on...

Music of the Beatles course is a no-go

As many of you know, I was on board for a fine arts elective called Music of the Beatles. As life becomes busier, scheduling conflicts become the norm. Such is the case here. My community council meetings are every Monday from 7pm to 9pm. Since I am a board member, I am obligated to attend. Also, the community council committee I chair meets every 2nd and 4th Monday at 6pm. Since the Beatles class...

It’s the late show on a Saturday night in Columbus, Ohio. I’m halfway through my set and I mention Barack Obama. Some scattered boos. Which is normal. Somebody always hates the president, no matter who that president might be. In this case, the president is Obama and I am a fan, so I always ask…
