With temperatures in Boston and all along the East Coast soaring into the 90s this song seems very appropriate. Hope you find some Summer Lovin’.

Macklemore parody goes viral
Students at Harvard Medical School released a parody of Macklemore’s Thrift Shop. I have to admit they did an excellent job. If you want to see the lyrics since they changed it up just click the closed caption option on the video.
Lick It Lollipop
RuPaul’s Lick It Lollipop featuring Lady Bunny includes a handsome guy and little else, but that is enough for me. I’m such a music enthusiast.
Flashback Friday
Boston-native, Donna Summer, the original disco diva, passed away at the age of 63, on May 17th, 2012, but I still love her and her music. What’s your favorite Donna Summer song? Here is one of mine.
Probably Gay, the Homophobia Song
Check out this hilarious video from Katie Goodman’s Broad Comedy was posted last year. I hadn’t seen this until JoeMyGod brought my attention to it. I love the chorus “If you’re homophobic, you’re probably gay.”
Boston musicians Rhett Price and Josh Knowles
Boston buskers: Rhett Price and Josh Knowles
Two former Berkelee College of Music students, Rhett Price and Josh Knowles, have made a full time job out of playing contemporary music on their violins for MBTA riders. Making a living as a full time busker can be tough, but these guys are clearly talented and I wish them continued success. Should you see these guys playing, please be generous and drop a few dollars in their violin case. You can read more about these guys in Steve Annear’s article, MBTA Performers Make a Living Playing Taylor Swift Songs on Violins for Riders.
You can also follow these guys on Facebook here.
Where are my keys
This hilarious video is dedicated to my brother, Timothy, but I have a feeling many of you will probably relate. Just a quick heads up that this probably is not appropriate to watch if around children or at your office.
Buble singing with a fan
Thanks to David over at WGB for posting this video on his FB page this weekend. I believe I’ve posted this video before but I love it (and Michael Buble) so I’m using this as an excuse to repost.
Get Outta My Way
I’ve had Kylie on the brain all day, and this tribute video from the guys over at Randy Blue is a personal favorite. I can’t believe it was two years ago this month that Kylie Minogue kicked off the American leg of her Aphrodite Tour here in Boston. I hope she’ll come back before long, but til then I hope you enjoy this.
