Thanksgiving Holiday Miscellany

Here's a nice way to start things off. A store in Nashville sold a woman a four year old turkey:

  5. In this interview, Pia Toscano says her album will be coming out in January:

    This is exactly what I suspected, that American Idol would try to delay her album release until all the Top 4 got their albums out first. Idol wants to treat Pia like she's a #9, when she was really a Top 4. Pia was in position to release her album first, but Idol wants to play their silly games and release her album last. How lame of them.

  7. I have an odd festival this time because it's Pink's "F* Perfect" covered by guy drummers. The song is generally thought of as a girl-power song, and Pink has since had a daughter of her own, so it was kind of odd to find guy drummers covering it. However, the song was not meant to be for girls only.

    But why would I even notice guy drummers? Well, many years ago my drummer cousin had no place to put his drums, so he put them in our garage and practiced on a regular basis. So I got used to the sound of drums in the background. Here are some guy drummers covering the song:

    tonycedillo: Play
    cddrummer97: Play
    jeremydavis47: Play

    I didn't put a link to the official Pink video, because it's controversial, disturbing and gory. But here's a "nice" version by the sisters Cimorelli: Play

  8. Back in Season 5, I thought of Kat McPhee as a Christina Aguilera wannabe. Kat had skill, but no power. But now, Christina looks so odd, I'll take Kat. Kat looks good.
