Celebrating My Second Blogging Anniversary with a Song

by davidleeking on August 1, 2006

For my second blogging anniversary, I’m not going to spew y’all with boring numbers about how popular my posts are, how many people subscribe, etc. Instead, I’m going to give you some good, old-fashioned entertainment (well, maybe not old-fashioned). I’m going to give you a song. And a video. About Web 2.0. ‘Cause I’m sometimes silly that way. So – if you want to download these behemoth files, here they are:

And of course, since my singing is most likely incoherent to some, the lyrics, in all their danged glory, are included below. Enjoy!

Rock on! Sounds a bit like REM, and lyrics channel Cobain (one of my all-time favorites is ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’). Totally cool!

Meredith August 1, 2006 at 2:34 pm

Very cool! Well, that was certainly a unique way to mark your blog-iversary. :)

Congrats on two years! I’ve been enjoying you the whole time and I look forward to more interesting posts on what libraries can do with video and other such tech schtuff.

Helene August 1, 2006 at 2:53 pm

just one word … BRILLIANT!!!!

Alane August 1, 2006 at 2:55 pm

Well, that’s fun! I think you should use it to introduce yourself on your lib’s web site…be a lot more interesting than the usual.

Ryan Deschamps August 1, 2006 at 3:05 pm

Forget that the Stones are coming to Halifax. I think we should call you for our civic day concert!

Great fun. Ready. . . aim. . . Viral!

Steve Lawson August 1, 2006 at 3:28 pm

Damn, that is the second blog post to make me laugh out loud today. (Here is the first.) Nicely done. Bonus points for filming it at work (unless your home looks like a cube farm, in which case, negative points).

joshua m. neff August 1, 2006 at 5:26 pm

So, Steve, are you suggesting that Dave’s song…needs more cowbell?

Excellent song, Dave. Next stop: Sandstone! (Or you could take a page from the High Strung and do a tour of libraries.)

Steve Lawson August 1, 2006 at 10:40 pm

David would be in good company if he added more cowbell.

All’s I know is, I can’t stop thinking “are you blogging this, are you blogging this? Oh-ooo-oh!”

Amit Agarwal August 2, 2006 at 1:54 am

David – you are a star. Brilliant.

dave free August 2, 2006 at 8:20 am

Rock on! Happy blogversary.

Chad August 2, 2006 at 1:50 pm

David,
Great song and video. Perhaps a guitar gathering/ librarian singalong is in order at Internet Librarian or CiL?

Brandon Watts August 2, 2006 at 5:15 pm

Happy blogging anniversary, David! Thanks for including scanR in your amazingly well-done video. I just know that I’m not going to be able to get that song out of my head for days… :-)

Brian August 2, 2006 at 7:43 pm

Freakin’ sweet! Farinaceous!

Brian Grenier August 2, 2006 at 11:17 pm

David, this is great!!!

Michael Whitney August 4, 2006 at 12:38 am

Happy blogging anniversary David. Thanks for including Seekum, and extra thanks for including it twice. That video really made our day here at Seekum.

jennimi August 4, 2006 at 8:10 pm

Happy blogiversary and thank you for the toonz. Way two point oh dude. Maybe, three point whoa…whoa… and, methinks I am blogging this. :)

Madeline Slovenz Brownstone August 7, 2006 at 6:23 am

Just caught your celebratory tune. Loved it. But . . . Looking at your lyrics I see you missed one :-)
Here’s a link to Kitchen Sink

david king August 8, 2006 at 9:24 pm

Thanks everyone!

Madeline – how funny! I should have used Google’s kitchen sink :-)

Barton Spencer August 9, 2006 at 12:24 pm

Hi David! I’ve been lurking around here for a few weeks and have been enjoying seeing you again virtually. I shared the video with Sarah and the kids last evening and they couldn’t get enough of it! And, as another post implied, the chorus goes to bed with you and wakes up with you… very catchy! I’ll want to catch up with you soon re: possible endeavors here at your old stomping ground. :)

Tom Livesay November 6, 2006 at 2:37 pm

Daweed,

Loved the song. Your vocals and guitar playing have grown by leaps and bounds (no offense to your “Rock To The Top” days). It reminded me of Green Day, especially the vocals.

I couldn’t download the video because I have stupid dial-up.

davidleeking November 6, 2006 at 4:29 pm

Awesome, Tom! That’s the coolest comment yet. For those of you who don’t know what Tom’s talking about – he’s an old college friend, and we were in a band together. And yes, you can here the band online, at http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=301464

Check it out!

jerry knollwood December 31, 2006 at 11:54 am

Ok, I’m a little late to this party, but awesome job, there, Squagmar. I got to see the video, and way too much of your teeth, but I’ll put that on my Ipod anyway. So, when’s that Senators reunion concert?

davidleeking January 1, 2007 at 4:13 pm

Hey, Tone-hor! A Senators reunion concert would be way too scary (unless we could resurrect that old organ in the music building).

But… Brian and I would like to get together Feb-march-ish… let’s do the email thing and figure it out.

Guitar Freak April 17, 2008 at 7:39 am
