This Is Me--2024 A to Z Theme

My A to Z Themes in the past have covered a range of topics and for 2025 the theme is a random assemblage of things that are on my mind--or that just pop into my mind. Whatever! Let's just say I'll be "Tossing It Out" for your entertainment or however it is you perceive these things.

And Now the Moment You've All Been Waiting For... ( #BOTB Results)

    I still haven't found what I'm looking for, but I guess that goes for you too.  If you get my reference then maybe you thought that was a funny joke.  No charge. I'm giving this one to you pro bono...


Battle of the Bands Results



 Where's That Tune?

      I never did find the song I was looking for in my previous Battle, but I ended up using versions of "Misirlou" which is now most oft-remembered as the Dick Dale tune used in the film Pulp Fiction.   Since I was initially drawn in by the artist I remembered from childhood, Korla Pandit went into the contest as my favorite.  But then when I heard Olga's version I was blown away a bit.  When the flute kicked in I was thinking "shades of Jethro Tull" but, no, that's not Ian Anderson blowing that flute.  But I find everything about Olga's version to be very satisfactory.

     Still, I keep going back to that mysterious sounding version by Korla Pandit and he gets my vote.


Final Vote Tally

Korla Pandit         4 votes

Olga Avigail          5 votes


Next Battle on March 15th

      Sure why not.

  1. I think it was the song from Pulp Fiction I remember. Thanks for reporting how things went down. You had a tight battle. My results will publish on Sunday.

  2. Was that a U2 reference that I caught at the beginning? Either way, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

    I tried to leave a comment here, from my old computer, a couple of days ago when my laptop died on me, but I see it didn't come through. (Fortunately, the laptop is functional again.)

    I'm genuinely surprised that Korla didn't win this contest. But then again, more often than not, I seem to find my votes aligned with the losers. (I suppose I have my own drummer in the attic.)

    1. STMcC, I tend to vote on the losing side as well much of the time. Fortunately not all of the time.

      I didn't have any inkling of who might win. I fluctuated on the vote myself and then had to go with Korla. Such memories.
