Because It's Tuesday - week of August 28

Longer ago than I care to really admit, I loved a little combo called Archers of Loaf.  To this day, if I'm feeling grumpy or sad, all I have to do is listen to "Web In Front" and I'm instantly in a good mood.

I totally love that about music.

So, today is Tuesday, and that means I'm sharing a cover with you, gorgeous reader.

Today it's another Queen cover (what is it about these songs that makes them so awesome to cover).  The original was a duet with Freddie and Mr Bowie.  I remember in high school, studying for exams and hearing "Under Pressure" come on the radio and it helped break the tension.  Funny how much pressure we put on ourselves back then.  Anyway, what does any of this have to do with Archers of Loaf?  Well a super talented dude named Eric Bachmann formed Crooked Fingers after his previous band, Archers of Loaf, broke up.

Crooked Fingers recorded a perfectly awesome cover the Queen / David Bowie classic, Under Pressure.  Today, I'm sharing it with you and you can let me know if you agree (or not) with my perfectly awesome rating.  Apologies in advance, this is just audio... anyway, please enjoy kiddies xo

Because It's Tuesday - Week of August 14

I'm presently enjoying week two of my annual summer staycation.  I had a day trip to Ottawa last week with my family, spent some time with a variety of very wonderful and special friends and have had some truly wonderful and restorative naps during the first week and a bit of my holidays.

This week, I'm doing more of the same, day trips, coffees and lunches with friends, hanging out with my good girl Gracie, staying cool and eating freezee pops.

As I usually do on Tuesdays, I'm sharing a fun cover with you.  Panic! At the Disco's version of Queens classic "Bohemian Rhapsody."  Long before Wayne's World, this was always the ultimate sing along in the car song (well, this and possibly Alice Cooper's School's Out - just based on me and my friends in high school).  Thank goodness for Freddie Mercury.  He left us such a wonderful legacy of super fun songs and it's always nice to see/hear other artists try their hand at them.

So, for your listening and viewing pleasure, today I leave with you Bo Rap by Panic! At the Disco.  Enjoy xo
