This starts with “Sympathy for the Devil,” but soon changes.

“We Only Come Out at Night”
Video
This is a cover of a Smashing Pumpkins song, performed by Murder By Death. The only thing I did was assemble the video, and create crude (but hopefully funny) visuals to go with the song.
If Recent Trends Continue, Gasoline Will Soon Be Free
Here’s what gas prices have done in the U.S. during the last three months:
The price of gas three months ago was $3.79 per gallon, and now it is $3.27, so, in three months, it dropped 52 cents per gallon. That’s a rate of -$2.08 per year per gallon, so, if this recent trend continues, gasoline will cost not much more than a dollar a gallon a year from now, and will become free sometime later in 2014. In fact, by the end of 2014 (again, if this trend continues), gasoline will have a negative price, which means they’ll pay us to take the stuff.
Sheryl Crow must have known this day would come, for she wrote a song about gasoline becoming free a few years back, which you can find below (embedded from YouTube) –– a song called, of course, “Gasoline.” Enjoy!
What To Do with Faux Beatles Fans
You know the type. Many were introduced to Beatles’ music by the film Across the Universe. There’s nothing wrong with that, by itself, but, when paired with the presentation of oneself as the biggest Beatles’ fan ever, the equation changes — to one that calls for action.
The action to take? Challenge them to a trivia game.
My favorite such game is “name that tune.” It’s even fun to provide hints, especially if others who know The Beatles are present. The best one yet was challenging someone to name “this song by the Beatle named Mick Jagger,” and then playing “Sympathy for the Devil.”
If you’re in the mood to hear it right now, here you go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkXIYgsvO0c
As it turned out, this person hadn’t yet heard the Beatles album which contains this Rolling Stones song.
My Newest Relaxation Method: Assembling Music Videos
I could type “making” music videos, but it isn’t my music. In one of these three examples, even the pictures were not created by me. So I’m assembling music videos — nothing more.
It’s relaxing, nonetheless.
Here are three such efforts:
1. Murder By Death covering “We Only Come Out at Night,” a song by by The Smashing Pumpkins: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8L8pBeI548&feature=plcp
2. “Here Comes the Sun” by the Beatles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXY3eC15U_Q&feature=plcp
3. Three different versions of “Feeling Yourself Disintegrate,” by The Flaming Lips, back-to-back: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJ7lQ-wRkqQ&feature=plcp
I was taught to use Windows Movie Maker in a teacher-training class. It’s probably the most beneficial such training I’ve ever received, for I’m actually using it for something that helps me feel better, when I’m anxious or depressed.
Am I implying that most (but not all) teacher-training sessions are utterly worthless? Why, of course I am!
