By now, I’m sure most of you have heard General Larry Platt’s American Idol smash hit, “Pants on the Ground.”
Which reminds me of a story…
The K-Pop/Kanye/Kay-Gee Connection
I did a little musical detective work this morning.
It started when my brother posted this Korean confection, called “Superfantastic,” on his Tumblr. It’s a song by K-Pop duo the Peppertones, and it’s pretty bonkers.
“Superfantastic” sounded strangely familiar to me, until I realized that the chorus was awfully similar to “Celebration” from Kanye West’s Late Registration.
A Farewell
Kate McGarrigle passed away yesterday, after a battle with cancer. She was 63.
She left a wonderful body of music, as well as some remarkably talented children. Enjoy a beautiful performance featuring Kate and her son Rufus Wainwright, from an episode Elvis Costello’s “Spectacle.”
