Music Video of the Day: Bobblehead Doll by The Folk Implosion (2024, dir by John Davis)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Me: “It’s about time someone wrote a song about those adorable bobblehead dolls!”

Smart Person: “Actually, Lisa, I think this song is about the mindless conformity of people who just nod along with whatever is happening in the world….”

Another Smart Person: “Or, it’s about the desire to live in a world where you can always be as happy and untroubled as the bobbleheads….”

Me: “Bobbleheads are so cute!  Remember when Angela gave Dwight a custom-made bobblehead on The Office and then Dwight threw it away after she wouldn’t choose between him and Andy?”

Smart Person: “Why would anyone choose Andy?”

Another Smart Person: “That was one of those Office stories that went on for too long.”

Me: “Indeed.”

Enjoy!

Song of the Day: Under the Eye of the Electric Storm by Depth Charge (RIP, J. Saul Kane)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Today’s song of the day is in tribute to Jonathan Saul Kane, who died earlier this month at the age of 55.  This British DJ was also known as Depth Charge and The Octagon Man and he is one of the many people who have been credited, over the years, as being the inventor of both trip hop and big beat.  Along with founding several key independent record labels, Kane was also sampling Kung Fu movies before it was cool.  In fact, as one of the founders Made In Hong Kong, Kane played a key role in introducing Hong Kong action to the west.

As for today’s song of the day, Under The Eye Of The Electric Storm was first released in 1991.

RIP, J. Saul Kane.
