In other news, the world's wealthiest people are running out of money after burning through the entire planet. Sources say one of the world's multi-billionaires purchased a law firm that was in bed with the RIAA roughly 10-15 years ago when music piracy was supposedly costing more money than the GDP of all the peoples of the world, combined. "The Owners" (as they have recently rebranded) have decided to collect on this unpaid debt from every living soul, and from all the multinational companies who have been long-established as having no living souls whatsoever. A nameless, faceless, pitiless representative was quoted as saying: "Resistance... is futile. Your life, as it has been, is over. From this time forward, you will service... us."

true, but if it was on any other network it would probably have been cancelled after season 3.

If you liked The Time Traveler's Wife then keep an eye out for Journeyman. It also only had one season, was also very Time-travely. Still worth watching.

Still worth watching, for sure. I really wish they'd done another season.

Oddly enough, Travelers was cancelled by ShowCase after 2 seasons. Netflix picked up the show and gave them another season, so they had a chance to wrap up the story.
Travelers is a gem. People should watch it.

Resident Alien is a delight. So much fun.

Dark Skies. Slow Horses. Scott Pilgrim.

Season 2 is SO MUCH better than season 1. I'm glad they ignored the bullying online and kept making the show.

Resident alien is so great

 

Hello Beehaw. It's a beautiful Saturday morning. If your Saturday morning isn't beautiful yet, bring some beauty to your ears with our jazzy version of Rihanna's "Umbrella". Dan's voice is like butter on this one, and yes that's also him on his acoustic guitar. So much Dan: So much love.
We hope this brings you a smile.

did 1983 predict the rise of "catalog shopping"? because I sure didn't :)

when I see stories about technological advancements that will actually benefit people, I realize the people they will benefit first are either the hyper-wealthy or the friends of the hyper-wealthy. Space tourism? Flying cars? Robotic eyes? Artificial longevity/Immortality? Please.

no being a kiwi is an alternative to being fucking boring :)

 

More from our second album. This time it's the 80's pop classic, with a synth-pop twist.

Surrendering to the darkness of love.
I'm not strong enough.

 

Hello Beehaw! We reimagined the classic pop song by The Cure with gentle acoustic instrumentation, and wrapped the whole thing in a velvety cup of warm cocoa. Please listen and enjoy.

 

My band makes covers of pop songs in a vaguely Leonard Cohen style. It was a fun idea we first had back in 2007 or so. We are The Three Leonards. Results are... unpredictable at best - as they should be :) For example:

Died In Your Arms (Tonight)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x30ox5ZwtS4
https://open.spotify.com/track/2ooObDXLNwS6FgGoJCeGkR

Have a listen, let me know what you think.

 

Here's a question you don't hear often: what if Leonard Cohen had performed a cover of (I Just) Died In Your Arms (Tonight) in the 1980's? What would it sound like? Would it have a bunch of parentheses in the title? These are questions that do not have to remain unanswered.

Believe me: you haven't heard anything quite like this before.

 

Posting our cover of the classic 1980's tune over here on Beehaw.
It was pretty challenging to re-imagine this one. The original's a classic.

I hope this brings a smile to your day.
