Apache, or the various iterations a song goes through over 40 years.

Yesterday a friend sent me an e-mail that simply said “I did not know about this” with a link to the Tommy Seebach version of the song “Apache”. (full video below). What he didn’t know, and what I only found out a year or two ago, is that the song “Apache” has had quite a …

Introducing Flinchbot Films

I dabble with video at different levels. Never professionally, strictly as a hobbiest. However, I made my first music video in about 4 years tonight and it turned out splendidly. As such, there is a new division in the global empire of Flinchbot: Flinchbot Films. Below is the first video to be released under that …

MGMT – Oracular Spectacular – If you don’t like this album then you are stoopid and you have no idea about good songs and interesting tunes and your mom eats way too much brickle and has out of control diabetes and you could take the brickle away and save your mom but you’re too stupid …
