New Michael Jackson Single

Has anyone else been a long-time praying for a Michael Jackson reunion—you know, one with the original members? Yeah, I know it’s one guy, but didn’t he used be played by someone who looked a lot different? (Was that Dick York or Dick Sargent? I get confused). Anywho, you need only check out the Ed Sullivan “ABC” performance on YouTube or ”Beat It” to weep with sorrow over the loss of a national treasure. Man that kid had the moves.

When I saw that Michael Jackson was releasing a single for the first time in 7 years, my heart skipped a beat. Yeah, I know, he hasn’t done anything of musical significance in a middle-schooler’s lifetime, but I’ve never fully given up on him. So, hooray, Micahel version 7.0 is launched. And what’s that new single?

“The Girl is Mine.”

No way. Bandits have taken over a computer server farm. The pentagon could be hit next. Somebody take the whole ‘net down until we get it all secured.

Well, it’s the only explanation. Out of the entire Michael Jackson catalog, the last song that anyone needs to be reminded of is “The Girl is Mine.” I’m waiting for Paul McCartney to file suit…not because he’s been replaced by will.i.am, but because mention of the “The Girl is Mine” is a reminder that he was involved in the debacle as well.

C’mon, Michael, you’re clearly willing to get help from friends. So, how about new song ideas, not just new backing tracks. Time to stop with the nostalgia and do something with teeth.

Hello, WordPress

Hi, I just moved in from Blogger. I was new there, too, but now I think I’ve found my final destination. I’ll be blogging about music and musical instruments because that’s what I sell at Sinclair Sound. But I don’t want this to be a commercial blog; that is, the ad copy belongs elsewhere. This is where I will share personal experiences and discoveries and reviews and even questions. I guarantee that a lot of it will stretch the advertised boundaries and objectives of this blog. My main goal is to keep it fresh, interesting, and organized. I’m going to stay away from polarizing issues because I’m a lover, not a fighter. (Of course, I said that last phrase in the soprano voice of Michael Jackson.)

Just in case your curious, here are my reasons for moving from Blogger.

1. It was easy to get a domain of my choosing.
2. More space.
3. Claims of better spam blocking
4. Tag cloud
5. Built-in stats tracking
6. Ability to schedule posts
7. No navigation bar at the top for visitors to click into the next (objectionable) blog
8. You can actually write the url that each post is saved to.

I’ve probably got some things wrong and I probably haven’t discovered some things yet, but that’s okay. There’s time. The main thing is that I think I have more control over the Search Engine aspects of my blog. I want to be found!
