This week's joy-filled covers post may be the weirdest yet. A Beatles song, being covered by Bill Cosby of all people? This is, quite scarily, Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. There's not much to say about the original. It's by The Beatles, so it's going to be fantastic, and we all know it anyway so I won't go into too much detail. I'll just say, it's from probably the most loved Beatles album of all time, Sgt. Pepper's. I actually like the eponymous White Album more, but [...]

So here's my first blogpost inspired by a news story. That story being that Bill Cosby is finally releasing another musical album . (This new one will be his fifth by my count, and the first in over twenty years.) Let's get something straight. I love Bill Cosby, as a standup. When I was a child, our family owned two of his albums, and my brother and I practically memorized them. (That's nutrition!) And from what I can tell, the man has excellent musical taste, with an eclectic love for funk and soul [...]
" Is the tree down yet? Are the decorations packed away? ... " - Henry Fonda Those are the first words spoken on Track 1 and it sets the tone for this day after Christmas.

So Thursday night between compiling versions of "Careless Love" and checking the Cubs score, I catch the end of this commercial for a new movie called "Across the Universe." All I really catch is Bono going "Goo goo g'joob." And even though I was alone in my living room, I said out loud to anyone listening (in a really unenthusiastic manner): "What the f*ck." Here's what I gathered from those few seconds. A love story musical. As told with Beatles songs. Friday night I get an email from a friend telling me [...]
First a few words about the name of the CD. When I first started to collect these records I got to talk to other Swedish collectors and found that a surprisingly big number of us started our collections with the record "28 Partyknüller zum tanzen" (that's german for roughly "28 entertaining party songs for dancing"). Now, if you don't speak Swedish you're missing half the joke. Knüller, in german, means "big hit/showstopper" but Knull in swedish means... ehhh... well... fuck. So I thought that i'd make a vol 2. I [...]
In all the hoopla this week over the 40th anniversary of The Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper," lets not forget the greatest version ever of the album's title song: by actor/comedian Bill Cosby. I bought this album (which came out on CD last year) at a church rummage sale for a quarter 15 years ago or so, and honestly didn't think the Cos would actually try to sing . I figured he would do a kind of comedic talk/sing kinda thing. I put the needle on, sat down at a table, heard the record start, and [...]
Bill Cosby - "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". Charles Wright - "Express Yourself". Let's see if you can follow this: I aspire to dance like Bill Cosby. Bill Cosby dances like he sings. Bill Cosby aspires to sing like Charles Wright. Charles Wright sings like so. If you're able to follow this chain, you'll have learned that I aspire to dance like so. That is, like Charles Wright singing "Express Yourself". The secret to understanding how he sings this song - and to how I aspire to dance, - is in observing the way he drops the "uh". He [...]
