Maybe next time Kucinich should go on reality TV before he starts to do his constitutional duty. At least then somebody would actually talk about the good he is doing.

It’s a guilty pleasure of mine that I freely admit. I love Karaoke Box rentals!

It started over a year ago when my friend Ericka dragged me to this KTV/Noraebang bar called Luxor. It’s an Egyptian-themed karaoke facility in which you can rent a private room for you and your friends and sing to your hearts content for $20 an hour. The technology used in each room uses numbers and Korean characters, so you kind of have to guess what each button means.

For most people it’s a matter of stage fright when singing “Born To Be Wild” in front of a few drunk rednecks, but this is better. You could sing Cher’s “Believe,” and who is going to know besides your closest friends who probably sing just as bad as you do!

Since the technology, and the song choices, are from South Korea it’s not all just American music in the song book. In fact half 75% of the 100+ page book is reserved for Korean songs. What’s left is a mixture of North American and European English pop music. You can find a lot of Mariah, but there’s also quite a bit of Kylie tossed in as well.

The following is a list of the songs I decided to perform:

“You Spin Me Round” by Dead Or Alive

“Anarchy In The UK” by The Sex Pistols

“Slow” by Kylie Minogue

“Gimme Gimme Gimme” by ABBA

“You Must Love Me” by Esther

“All Is Full Of Love” by Bjork

With the exceptions of the Sex Pistols and Bjork it was a very camp production. I’ve basically gone though the entire Madonna, Kylie, and Pet Shop Boys selection that has been offered. Hopefully they will have the books updated with 2007 songs so I can do my own “Umbrella” soon.

Joey joins me for 20-or-so minutes of music and light discussion. Basically I recorded a skype call about two weeks ago, and this is my excuse for not doing any podcasts within the past month. I hope you enjoy, but you probably won’t.
