Okay, a little guilty admission here -- I love Disney music. Have ever since I got my first copy of Mary Poppins on vinyl. So, why am I up at nearly 1AM, confessing this to you, the LTE audience?
Because I stumbled across this: http://www.coveringthemouse.com
A site dedicated to artist remakes of Disney music. And I've been browsing/listening to it for the past hour. Help me!
It didn't hurt that the second-most-recent post is a Bonnie Raitt cover of Dumbo's "Baby Mine," one of my all-time favorites.
The Squirrel Nut Zipper's take on "Under the Sea" from Little Mermaid isn't bad either.
If you click in, they have the songs streaming from the site.
What was that group rate for psychiatric treatment, again?
Do you still have the vinyl? Is it in good shape?
I still have most of my vinyl from the mid-70's. Not sure if its worth much and I can't listen to it because I have nothing to listen to it with. My parents copied all their vinyl to reel to reel tapes and then cassette. They still use the cassettes.
I used to love Disney movies (and songs) but I cannot for the life of me understand why my mother let me watch "Dumbo." Or, for that matter, why Disney made it. It's scary!! Dumbo gets taken away from his mommy, there's that whole trippy Dumbo gets drunk scene, everybody is mean to him... it is just not a children's movie.
Favorite line from "Under the Sea": "Each little clam here know how to jam here, under the sea!"
Speaking of Disney . . .
Giraffe meat is now kosher.
I've eaten Ostrich, but I don't recall eating Emu. I imagine the taste of Emu is similar to that of Ostrich.
I am just kidding about my neighbor's cat. I would not eat it intentionally (leaving open the possibility that unbeknown to me the cat ends up in Chinese food). But the cat annoys me: always sneaking around my property, trying to kill birds.
I haven't gotten beyond the smallest kernel of an idea with that one. I'm not prolific. I've been working on a play set in a Starbucks for what seems like forever because I know how it starts and I know how it ends, but that 'and then a miracle occurs' middle part just hasn't happened yet. That said, I wrote the Duke-UNC eHarmony date one in one sitting. Had a couple of people read it, revised it once, and sent it out. Of course, that one didn't get selected by the festival, so maybe that's telling me something. DBR readers would have LOVED it though.
The play that did get accepted this time around is called Cloud 7. Have I mentioned it before? Tagline: It's not Cloud 9, but it's close.
Hey, Durham area DBR posters, I'll be attending the 10X10 in the Triangle festival on July 12th this year. Yeah, they didn't take my play, losers, but I still know more than one of the playwrights on the bill and I'm supporting their work. Just in case anyone wants to meet me there. (And Tilly, she's coming too.) The theater is in Carrboro. Here's the website, http://www.artscenterlive.org
Ooooo, Jeff Mullins, I suddenly have the urge to buy a car.
I have actually tried opossum, raccoon, squirrel, snake, turtle, and frog legs. I wasn't particularly impressed with the first two - stringy and greasy, as I recall. Squirrel can be okay, depending on how it's fixed. Snake, blech. Someone once brought fried snapping turtle to our community potluck supper under the guise of fried chicken. Most people there thought it was the best fried chicken they had ever tasted - until they found out they had eaten turtle. Frog legs are actually quite good - and they really do taste a whole lot like fried chicken.
He always eats stuff raw...yech. But then I'm not the one jumping out of planes onto remote Pacific islands.
