Song Covers
I’m sure you’ve all heard “If I Were a Boy” by Beyonce on the radio (if you haven’t it’s embeded below). I can’t recall where I learned that this was a cover of another song but that made me curious. After some extensive searching, I have found the original artist. I thought the original would have been from a few years ago, but aparently it’s very recent. The original was done by BC Jean and you can find her on MySpace. Why would an artist like this give the rights to their song to a major music star? Going forward, if she ever performs this song, people will think she’s covering Beyonce. Hmmm. Maybe she did it for the $$?

Boyzone – “Better”
I can’t say that I really enjoy Boyzone but member Stephen Gately sings to his husband in the video. Sort of reminds me of the music video by John Barrowman who included a same-sex couple in his most recent music video. I think this is a good thing.
Music Video – John Barrowman
I can’t say that I really enjoy this song but the video is interesting. Leave it to a gay to show both homo and hetero relationships as equal.
Stupid iTunes!
For some odd reason, I keep getting the error message below from iTunes when I try to sync my iPod or iPhone.
I have gone into my music folder and made sure that all users have all permissions to the folder and their contents, but I still get this error. Who knows what is going on but it’s very frustrating. iTunes should at least tell me which file it can’t access so I can make sure that I have the settings set correctly for that file.
I read on one site that someone solved the mystery by adding one album at a time to his iPod. Ummm, WTF. He must have a very small library. I have 826 albums. Adding each individually would take FOREVER!
Has anyone else had this issue or does anyone have a suggestion on how I can fix it?
Jay Brannan
Jay Brannan released his album recently and I’ve listened to it a few times already. It’s pretty good. I’ve included a YouTube clip of “Housewife” which is one of my favorites from the album. Check it out below.

This song is great. I love it. Share it with that someone special in your life.
