Five Songs I Karaoked Last Night

This time, the headline doesn’t lie. I really karaoked last night (as opposed to several days or weeks ago), and I really sang five songs. Maybe. Shoot, Nick didn’t hold me to writing them down last night. I’m likely missing some. Frick.

Want to keep up with all the awesomeness that I karaoke? Peek at my Spotify playlist that has songs that I’ve performed since March. Want to know what’s coming up? I’ve got a Spotify reminder playlist for that, too.

*** Edit: Oh! I sang “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” by Pat Benatar, too! I knew there was another song! Am I missing anything else?

Five Songs I Karaoked Last Night

Like most things in my life right now, that title is off by a few days. Maybe a few weeks. A few months? Who knows anymore. Things have been upside-down since mid-August, and blogging, singing and everything else took a hiatus for some top-priority family issues and events.

Today, my heart is a bit heavier, but things are calming down little by little. Last Friday, I finally returned to karaoke for a bit of therapy, and it was the best medicine I could ask for. Hosting my first gig since Aug. 19, I slid back into a place that feels like a second home with friends who are as supportive as they are entertaining. I can’t go four weeks without this again.

My five six songs:

(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding,” Elvis Costello

When Love Comes to Town,” U2 (duet with Sam)

Creep,” Radiohead (duet with Amit after Chad gave up)

(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life,” Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes (duet with Mitchell)

You Oughta Know,” Alanis Morissette

City of Blinding Lights,” U2 (initially a duet with Sam, but Cat and Zach soon joined in)

Side note of awesomesauce: Zach still is plugging the hell out of Songs for #Joplin and recently coordinated a barbecue and concert to raise funds for the tornado-ravaged city in Missouri. Here’s my ReviewSTL.com post about the event and about Joplin. The event has passed, but the need for support is still there. Please consider downloading Songs for #Joplin or donating if you can.

Five Bits of Awesomesauce

I’m not doing well in my goal to slow down this month, but even though I’m still exhausting myself, at least I’m using my time for neato things. Below, check out five from this week.

What: Karaoke Friday

Theme: #ILovethe90s

Reason: I still was in a 90s mood from my last post, so I declared it the night’s theme and folks kind of took to it.

Side note of awesomesauce: I love hosting karaoke. Like, lovelovelove it. You never know when random weird guys will insert your name into “Piano Man” or when your friends who swore they wouldn’t sing ask to do something by/called “Rehab” (and then don’t complain too much when you give them the wrong song). And having so many friends come and support what I do is so very touching. I could do this every freaking night.

And I remembered two other songs that I performed recently:

I’ve been issued a challenge: Certain people from ReviewSTL.com will come to the bar next week when I’m running karaoke, but only if I sing Rebecca Black’s “Friday.” This already is turning my stomach. Can I really do this without 1) losing my music cred or 2) puking?

Speaking of ReviewSTL, check out my latest stuff.
