I just can’t resist silly Weird Al Yankovic videos. Here’s another one from his album, “Alpocalypse,” doing a parody of Miley Cyrus’ “Party in the USA!”

This will be a personal weekly Top Ten list of what I consider to be the best songs that I listened to the previous week. Most songs will be current, but there are no boundaries. I’ve already stated on this web site that I am obsessed with music. I am constantly hunting it down whether it’s online, on CD, from my personal collection, from a library (Yes, I think the library is a great source of music–especially for music that you aren’t sure about.), TV, or radio. Since most of these sources mostly emphasize new music, the odds are pretty good that most of the songs on this list will be new. But in my search, I don’t use any boundaries for the other sources. I am just looking for good music that I haven’t heard, or happened to forget about. Everyone, including myself, has forgotten way more great music than they can ever remember-even if they are also music fanatics.
Also, there will be no rules concerning songs on this list. A song can show up or drop off a number of times. This will be the most volatile of my lists. It all depends on how much music I am exposed to during the week and what I find interesting. On really obscure stuff, I will try to include the source, if I know it.

A “Q” Bomb, like an “H” bomb, will be my term for a music video that I consider to be subpar in music, video, or both. This will be a recurring weekly list that will focus on the worst videos that are currently on TV. I don’t, as a rule, go searching for old music videos, so that’s why it will focus on solely on current or recent videos.
I hate to be so negative about music, but when an artist takes a “bad” song and then brings more attention to it by creating a “bad” video to support it, it will appear on this list. I honestly hope, and it could happen, that this list will be less than 10 items, but I have serious doubts that that possibility will happen. We are, after all, talking about an industry that uses art for huge profits. The companies can’t help themselves.
However, at this point, I will not do a 10 worst music list. I see absolutely no reason to waste time reemphasizing bad music. Once is enough.

The music world lost another great this week, Mr. George Jones. Here are a few videos to remind us of his genius.
First up, Vince Gill singing One More Last Chance. I still get a kick out of the “Ole Possum” on this one. And don’t most guys need “one more last chance?” :
George made a guest appearance on Aaron Lewis’ “Country Boy.” Since the song became a hit, it made Jones one of only a few artists in the world to have been on a charted hit in seven decades, ’50s, ’60s, ’70s, ’80s, ’90s, ’00s, ’10s :
And last, but certainly not least, the man himself performs White Lightning:
