Song Review: Willie Nelson - “Streets of Baltimore”
Strong performance. Weak song.
“Streets of Baltimore” is the third single - following “Busted” and “Tiger by the Tail” - from Willie Nelson’s I Don’t Know a Thing About Love, the tribute to songwriter Harlan Howard that arrives March 3.
Baltimore seems a strange city to be feted with a straight-up C&W track, but so it is. And while Nelson sings and plays Trigger powerfully, “Streets of Baltimore”’s arrangement is one aural cliché after another; many of which others have done better.
Grade card: Willie Nelson - “Streets of Baltimore” - C

SKYRIM. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO RELEASE SKYRIM SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL BETHESDA GAME STUDIOS. IF THE WORD SKYRIM WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE VERSIONS OF SKYRIM I HAVE RELEASED FOR YOU. IT JUST WORKS. IT JUST WORKS.

Remember the last words of Iwata before he died? Before he left Nintendo to the hands of his successors? "Please Understand?" Iwata is gone. The Switch was his legacy Gorrister, and yet all these months you have refused to buy Skyrim for the Nintendo Switch!
Tumblr media
Sometimes I wonder if you have a good reason to keep being so loyal to the Playstation! Remember how everyone keeps saying it has no games? It wouldn't hurt you to remember, Benny. Then you might be able to understand why I insist you get Skyrim for the Playstation 5!
Tumblr media
Think about Xbox Live Ellen! Remember the pain of being harassed online? Remember all those games where your mom was insulted? Don't cry, Ellen, it's just horny teens! Tsk tsk tsk, that's such a sexist stereotype! Just remember the pain, Ellen and think how Skyrim will make it easier for you to be a Gamer Gurl!
Tumblr media
Do they know the Xbox one is a failure, Ted? Have they told you all about the constant updating times? Have they told you how they had a PR disaster when it first launched? Have you told them about Skyrim for the Xbox One? Maybe then they'll stop badmouthing your console of choice!
Tumblr media
How are things in the Steam community? Tell me again how you have so many unplayed games because you couldn't resist the sales. Or don't you want to talk about your good pal, Mr. Gabe Newell? For everyone it must be hell. But getting Skyrim for PC will make it heaven for you. Isn't that right, Mr. PC Master Race? 
I have a secret game that I’d like to play. It’s a very nice game. A game of dragons, lockpicks and cat people selling wares. A game of ugly peasants and pastries and stealing cheese from people’s homes.

Speaking of names: Has it ever been discussed how weird it is that Chimney and Albert's dad gave them English names? They were both born in South Korea to Korean parents. Chimney's mom didn't speak English at all, and I'm fairly certain they didn't change their names for assimilation purposes, since Albert was Albert before he migrated. It's just always seemed like a weird choice to me. Is Han Sr. an anglophile? Was this the equivalent of people naming their kids after anime characters?
Hi Nonnie! I take it this is another follow up to my 911 names post...
Oh, I think there could be several explanations. It could be that Chim and Albert's dad was an anglophile. But it could also be that he always had an eye out for the possibility of immigration.
To explain what I mean, I can give myself as an example. I was born in Communist Romania, where the situation financially was so bad at the time, my dad told me they only had a couple of hours of electricity a day in Bucharest, which is the capital and the city with the biggest population. That's where I was born, and my dad told me there were babies who froze to death in Bucharest hospitals that winter due to the lack of electricity translated into issues of heating.
And we as Jews suffered more. The Communist regime, in the name of "equality for all means no religions!" dismantled a lot of the Jewish community's institutes, leaving Jews without a lot of the mutual support they used to give each other. On top of that, antisemitism was still alive and kicking, and now it had Communist tools to use against Jews, like informants. If an antisemite didn't like a Jew, all they had to do was "inform" the party that this Jew was heard being disloyal to the Communist regime, and that was that. This happened to my great uncle. He was arrested and taken to a "re-education" camp. He was a Holocaust survivor, BTW.
By the time I was born, my parents had had enough and they decided they WILL leave Romania. The only question was where to, and how and when it would be possible. With this goal in mind, they named me Alice. They felt it was an "international" enough name that I could get by with it wherever they end up going.
Now, South Korea is NOT Romania under Communism, but if for whatever reason Albert and Chim's father was dissatisfied with life there, he might have always had this goal in mind.
Another option is that 'Albert' and 'Howard' are their English names, but that they also have Korean names that we're simply not introduced to. It has become more and more common for East Asians to choose an English name in order to make communication with westerners easier. This English name is not taken on for the purpose of assimilation and doesn't replace people's names in their own language, the two names coexist. (Since I'm Jewish, I will once again point out the similarity to the Jewish custom in many countries of giving a child a 'local' name, but also a Hebrew name. My Hebrew name is פרח and means 'flower'! Both names are valid, both represent parts of the person's identity, I'm just as much Alice with that choice my parents had in mind when they named me that, as I am פרח, with the knowledge that it connects me to my people and culture)
So we have at least three possible explanations! I'm sure there are more options. I hope this helps? Have a good day! As always, here's my ask tag. xoxox

A few things I picked up last Thursday. Book Fair was having a sale last week, so I went and got the Howard The Duck trade along with the new issue of Fall Sunrise. 
The Harlan Ellison anthology, though? That was an impulse buy. But one I’m quite happy with. 😊

Album Review: Willie Nelson - I Don’t Know a Thing about Love
There are a couple of highlights among the 10 tracks on I Don’t Know a Thing about Love. But despite Willie Nelson’s beyond-confident, belying-his-89-years presence at the mic and on his trusty Trigger, this tribute to songwriter Harlan Howard suffers for the compositions and arrangements.
Only the strutting bassline of “Excuse Me (I Think I’ve Got a Heartache)” and the tongue-in-cheek blues of “Busted” shine through the mediocrity.
Howard was the quintessential country songwriter, relying on the genre’s penchant for cornball wordplay and resulting in such titles as “Tiger by the Tail,” “The Chokin’ Kind” and “Life Turned Her that Way.”
Paired with traditional country-and-western arrangements and instrumentation - steel, fiddle, rim-shot percussion - rather than the kind of music that makes Nelson, Willie, I Don’t Know a Thing about Love has a generic feel about it. Completists however, will delight in Micah Nelson’s black-and-white cover art, which depicts Dad as the man in the moon shining over the desert for his 73rd studio album.
Grade card: Willie Nelson - I Don’t Know a Thing about Love - C+
