Hey, hi, howdy kids. Hope you're all enjoying your weekend. Merry Christmas.
I gotta be honest with you- we had a much better turnout for Saturday Night Karaoke last night than I expected, what with it being Christmas weekend and all- especially when the place was kind of a ghost town at 10 when we kicked off.
Anyway, thanks- and we hope to see you all again soon.
Despite last year's much ridiculed audio "malfunction," Mariah Carey will be performing again for this year's Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve.
In a statement released along with the announcement of Carey's appearance, the singer and Dick Clark Productions said they agreed "that last year didn't go exactly as planned and we are thrilled to move forward together to provide America with an incredible night of music and celebration..."
I'm not sure how having a screeching harpy provides viewers with "an incredible night" blah, blah, blah- but, whatever.
The next time you're in Dayton, Ohio, make sure you stop by the Funk Music Hall of Fame and Exhibition Center.
The museum is in the process of receiving its final approvals from the city and is taking reservations for private tours and events- with a grand opening expected in either January or February. And admission is just $5.
The city- once referred to as the Land of Funk- was home to the Ohio Players, Zapp, Faze-O, Heatwave, Sun, Slave and Lakeside.
Bob Marley and The Wailers' Legend: The Best Of… sits at number 170 on the Billboard Albums Chart this week- it's 500th (nonconsecutive) week there. It's nonconsecutive because- from 1991 until 2009- catalog titles weren't eligible for chart inclusion for some reason known only to the idiots who made up the restriction.
Legend remains the album with the second most weeks on the list, behind Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon (with 934).
Lady Gaga confirmed on Twitter earlier this week that she'd be doing a Las Vegas residency beginning next December.
Her post said "The rumours are true! I will have my own residency at MGM’s Park Theater. Get ready for a brand new show! It’s been my lifelong dream to be a Las Vegas girl, I’m so overjoyed!"
Variety reports the run will begin with 74 dates, but could extend to more, with the singer earning over $1 million per show.
Gaga will share the theater's 2018 concert calendar with Bruno Mars and Cher, among others.
Birthdays today include: Ricky Martin (46); Neil Turbin of Anthrax (53); Mary Ramsey of 10,000 Maniacs (54); Ian Burden of Human League (60). #MusicalBirthdays
