The topic of week 7 in Sari’s photo Projekt 52:
Monster under the bed
I’ll take the liberty to ignore the “under the bed” part – this house monster is simply too good:
Or a little lighter (depends on your monitor’s settings how it looks for you):
…and completely natural:
Let’s play soccer! (Though the ball is hard to see here.)
Another bench’s art was a little smaller:
I also got a few more coarse ones: There’s quite some amount of icicles on this shed and the hedge below…
…such as this one – and also wrapped-up trees “sweat” icily:
Let’s not miss looking at the ground:
An early start into spring?
First a creative way for news anchors to spend commercial breaks (via Journalist und Optimist):
And of course the new Simpsons intro for the first HDTV broadcast (in the USA, at least; first via Nerdcore):
Time for another look at the Queen archives, this time to a single released on 14 Feb 1974 in USA and New Zealand, the B-side of which was “Doing All Right” (sometimes also written “Doin’ Alright”) – originally a song by Smile, a Queen precursory band, if you will, consisting of Brian May (Queen guitarist), Roger Taylor (Queen drummer) and Tim Staffell (vocals and bass):
» Queen: Doing All Right (BBC recordings from 1973)
» Smile: Doin’ Alright
» Lyrics
But let’s not ignore the A side – well, we’ll ignore the shortened single version, but here’s the album version with the Greatest Hits video:
» Queen: Liar (album version)
» Lyrics
This alternative 1971 demo version from the De Lane Lea Studios is not just over one minute longer, but also offers different guitar parts and somewhat more playful vocals by Freddie (and unfortunately a lower audio quality) – I actually like it better than the album version:
» Queen: Liar (De Lane Lea Studios demo)
(slightly different lyrics, see video page on the right)
It’s up to you which song you’re prefering for your Valentine’s Day…
