I'm way behind....only now getting to trolling through the 2008 Skratch & Sniff mixes (thanks for the ping, Mike!). Here's a few that have caught my ears:

And one retro fave:

It's been a long week. And then my blog reader let me know my buddy Mike Czech put up a bunch of new mixes on imeem. Just what I needed. Mike and I got to know each other through our kids. Hopefully you're in an area that airs Skratch 'N Sniff. If not, you can still listen via imeem. For you retro folks, try out:

And this one's been out there a while, but I'm still diggin' it. Mike did this one to promote a show for a Boston affiliate....wouldn't expect these to mesh so well, but the proof is in the sound:

I was very sad to read today that George Carlin died yesterday at the age of 71. Been a fan of his for as long as I can remember (yes, I was one of those 9 year olds secretly listening to his albums hoping my folks didn't catch me). A performer and keen observer that definitely got better with age. A week doesn't go by that I'm not quoting one of his bits. And when I was in high school, I was fortunate to see him perform live - in the front row. Making eye contact while he's doing his thing - amazing.

Of course, everyone remembers the "Seven Words". And with so many fantastic routines, it's impossible to pick a favorite. For whatever reason, the one that came to mind today is the "Advertising Lullaby".

Enjoy. In case the YouTube video goes down, the lyrics are here
