Ain't what it used to be

I just love Michael Imperioli's look on "Life on Mars". That 1970s porno dirt bag look; you can just smell the cologne layered on sweaty polyester. Unfortunately for the show's ratings, Imperioli's amazing mustache has not actually compelled me to watch it in action. Too often, I hear that the American version of "Life on Mars" pales in comparison to the British original. So, I figure, what's the point?

Speaking of weak remakes, I always disliked Michael Bublé's "Feeling Good" because it was such easy listening crap that had potential to be more interesting. Thanks to Errol Nazareth on CBC Radio's "Metro Morning", I found out that Bublé's song is actually a remake of a Nina Simone song. Hearing Simone's version of the song shocked me; I actually like it alot.

Pair up Simone's song with Imperioli's photo and I've got myself a good time.
