Open Post: Hosted By The Always Gorgeous Richard Simmons
Pour yourself something sparkling, slip into your nicest sweats, turn down the lights, light a Glade candle, sit back and spend some time with these pictures of Billy Crystal's long-lost unicorn twin brother spreading the glitter through the The Grove in L.A. yesterday afternoon. This is some fappin' to the oldies shit. Make sure to spend some quality time with Richard Simmons' moose knuckle situation, which sort of looks like a family of hamsters playing Twister or like a basket of boiled Faberge eggs. You deserve it. We all deserve some Richard Simmons.

Icona Pop totally should have been on that list. I also think they'd have raised their eyebrows a tad, hahaha Yeah, that's the trick making it pay but if it's what you love...
Have you seen Ellie's twitter? She's been posting pics as she goes through the country. What a whirlwind year she's had. ;p I agree about Muse, it's the best thing they've done recently and I have all their old stuff. Do you know who directed it?

Hey there Mike. How was your Monterrey weekend?
Hi Within, GG, others.
GG, I'd have had such a fright to have seen it.
@Esteem that Grace Potter song was sweet.

No, WR I was in the front but my boys were with him and were making him sit when I came around the side. I wont have him help, he's not used to manual labor, poor thing.

@ GG
Glad he's ok hon. I know that must have scared you silly. It's hot too early, ugh, we're going to have a hellish summer I think. I'm in Nevada (high desert) so not as hot, but pretty close.
Take care of him. I know you will. ;-)
He seems like a good soul.

>> I'm still hearing Don't you worry child on the radio all the time. Very much like their sound.
The station I referenced plays their song "Greyhound," which I crank up every time I hear it.
>> I'm amazed how well Kelly has done. That girl is golden. Swift just doesn't have the depth to sing like that. hahah
Agreed. Kelly has an amazing voice, which draws me in with each new song.
>>Very fresh and whimsical choice with Pontoon. ;)
I can't wait to see how that flies. :-)
>> I've been following Ellie as she's gone on her tour and you're right, it was a slow ascent to the top which will help her with this album, imo. She has staying power. I'm kicking myself I missed her too. LOVE HER.
ACH was just covered by the "Glee" kids, so it's getting a bump on iTunes. I wish they would just move on to a second single in the U.S. - the two I referenced would definitely be worthy.
>> And it's precisely the beginning that caught me for Madness. It is perfection. I like the video too even with its dark foreboding tone. Could it be Hudson was good for Bellamy??? Great choices and variety!
Me too! The song evokes so much emotion - I remember having a really tough time at work last month, and started bawling as I listened to this song.
>> I have a feeling your list was a too forward for your co-workers. You sure you don't prefer to write about music?
If I could make money doing it...

Yeah, Esteem it was 88 here in our corner of So Cal. I made him go inside and cool off. Its still not soon after my pops passing while on a hike last summer, so I was worried. He's better now but I'll finish the mess tomorrow.

Omg GG, it's so fortunate he didn't fall. Were you near him when that happened? Hope you told him he better not do that again tomorrow.
@Esteem, you guys got the ball rolling and lucky for whatever that site is, they took it down. Good eye.

Oh no, is he ok? It was that hot there? Wow.
We worked in the front and side yards today. Over did it and now shoulders are sunburnt and Mr. Gardener got dizzy and almost fell off the ladder. ;(

Not sure - here it is:
While 2011 was undoubtedly the Year of Adele, 2012 had more variety when it came to popular music (unless you consider Carly Rae Jepsen’s ubiquitous “Call Me Maybe,” which spawned YouTube renditions from just about everyone, including U.S. President Barack Obama).
This being said, here are my top five songs of 2012:
5. “Don’t You Worry Child” Swedish House Mafia (featuring John Martin)
Electronic Dance Music (EDM) made tremendous strides in 2012, even inspiring a radio station in Boston dedicated to the format late in the year (the former WFNX 101.7, now dubbed Evolution). This was the first song played on the station and, unfortunately, may be the last we hear from the group for some time as they have announced an indefinite hiatus.
http://m.vevo.com/watch/swedish-house-mafia/dont-you-worry-child-live/GB...
4. “Pontoon” Little Big Town
While Taylor Swift tackled the pop charts (and dabbled in dub-step?!?), country music held its own in 2012. This song, which became the quartet’s first #1 hit on the country charts, won both Single of the Year by the Country Music Association and a Grammy award for Best Country Duo/Group Performance. If we hold another summer cruise, this belongs on the soundtrack (with koozies, of course).
http://www.artistdirect.com/video/little-big-town-pontoon/127714
3. “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)” Kelly Clarkson
Although she recently found love, many of Kelly Clarkson’s songs have centered on a guy done wrong. This song is no exception, with the opening line “You know the bed feels warmer...sleeping here alone.” “Stronger” became the original American Idol’s biggest hit to date, and sparked arguably the best speech at this year’s Grammy awards after Kelly won Best Pop Vocal Album. Which is why I <3 her.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xn676-fLq7I
http://www.peoplestylewatch.com/people/stylewatch/package/article/0,,206...
2. “Anything Could Happen” Ellie Goulding
Ellie Goulding’s “Lights” brightened very slowly in the U.S. over the year, ultimately peaking at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming the magazine’s top Pop Song for 2012. The continued popularity of “Lights”, however, overshadowed the release of Ellie’s second CD, “Halcyon,” and its first single -- which features bombastic verses and a lush, soaring chorus. The U.K. has since seen tracks “Figure 8” and “Explosions” hit their charts -- here’s hoping to hear more from this up-and-coming artist in 2013.
http://www.vevo.com/watch/ellie-goulding/anything-could-happen/GBUV71201...
1. “Madness” Muse
Beginning with verses reminiscent of groups like Depeche Mode and Erasure, this song transforms into a rally cry when lead singer Matthew Bellamy sings “I need to love” at the 4:10 mark. Then, it delivers a line which many can identify with (including myself): “Yes I know, I can evolve...but maybe I’m too headstrong.” Coldplay’s Chris Martin deemed this song the band’s best song yet. Nor can many music fans, as the song broke a record on Billboard’s Alternative Songs chart -- spending 19 consecutive weeks at #1 (at the time of this writing).

Moved over to OP. The bed was pretty much on schedule. The mattress came first thing this morning, followed by the bed itself this afternoon.
I'm interested to see what the reaction is to my article. It's the first one I've done in the 6+ years I've been with the company. Maybe I'll become the music guru of the firm (though I realized the U.S. is the last to know about one of my picks for early this year).
ETA: I think it will be a collaborative effort with the designer. BH has strong opinions about what he wants to see. I'm just writing the check.
