working on supper (broccoli and venison). It's great to be
alive and wonderful to have lots of interesting things
to do. :)

The concept behind Scott Bradlee's Post Modern Jukebox is
simply to take a contemporary pop song and render it in

Stacy's Mom by Fountains of Wayne...

...and here, in the style of 1930's hot jazz, is the same
song from Post Modern Jukebox.

This publication was never intended to be a musical review
but there's certainly a lot of music in this issue. Sorry
about that, I'll try for more diversity into the next one.
If there's a topic you have a special interest in, drop me
a line about it and I'll see what I can accomplish by way
of research.
I hope all is well and wonderful in your world. I wish you
love, luck, health and happiness. See you next time!
