Rockin' Hot Summer on Basic Cable

Summer has arrived and brought along with it a line up of great shows to watch on basic cable. One thing that I especially enjoy about these shows is the music that they are produced with. Over the weekend I watched the season premiere of Suits on the USA network and now have a song by Gotye stuck in my head. The song that I am referring to is titled "Smoke and Mirrors," and with lyrics like "You're a fraud and you know it... and you're careful not to show it but sometimes you even fool yourself... every night and day you take the stage... you put on quite a show," I feel that it sets the perfect tone of mystery and suspense for the rest of the season. Much like this song, each episode of this show also tends to unfold slow and steady until the lawyers find all of the information they need to win their corporate cases. I don't know if corporate law runs this smooth in reality but it sure is interesting to watch on television.

        Gotye - Smoke and Mirrors

Now that this is finally out in the open, I would like to mention that Suits is only one of the many summer shows that is produced with mesmerizing music. If this interests you at all, you will be delighted to know that I have also posted some theme songs for other shows that will be rockin' all summer long. These shows are all available to watch on television, their network websites, and Hulu.com.

        Ima Robot - Greenback Boogie

The theme song for Suits is very appropriately titled "Greenback Boogie," as they do deal with corporate law all day. Suits airs on Thursdays at 10 pm Eastern Time on the USA Network.

        The Blue Van - Independence

The theme song for Royal Pains is titled "Independence." Again, it is an appropriate title for a show about two brothers who start their own medical business together. Royal Pains airs on Wednesdays at 9 pm Eastern Time on the USA Network.

        Original Score for The Glades; Sam Cooke - Summertime


The theme song for The Glades is an original score for the show that is approximately twenty seconds long. I also included a song by Sam Cooke titled "Summertime," just because it popped up in one of the promo commercials for the show. The Glades airs on Sundays at 9 pm Eastern Time on the A&E network.

Jonah Hill is The Sitter: Can You Feel It?

Even though The Sitter was released into theaters during December of 2011, I have just recently gotten around to watching it on DVD. Despite this movie being a (Dark?) comedy, I was surprised to see the amount of sensitivity Jonah Hill used while addressing the controversial issues in this film that many modern day families may be currently dealing with. The children in this film were also adorable and the mind boggling context managed to move the plot along in a way that kept me eager to see what was going to happen next. I have to say that I enjoyed this movie and found it to be quite funny. In my opinion, Jonah Hill always makes interesting movies. If you usually enjoy films starring Jonah Hill then it is likely that this movie will not be an exception.

I posted a video below of a Slick Rick song from the soundtrack which just so happens to mention Jonah Hill's name in the hook. Although it may seem unrelated, I also posted two videos by "The Fat Boys" because for some reason they come to my mind when I hear this song. Maybe "The Fat Boys" come to my mind because they are also from New York; or maybe it is just because they are somewhat comedians when they rap. Whatever the case may be, the videos are posted for your entertainment.


Here is a picture of how fashionable the children are in this movie. One thing that I noticed while watching this movie is that Cowboy boots and leather jackets can make a pair of pajamas look official. I also realized that tutus are simply adorable.


Speaking of official, here are a pair of Nike Zoom HyperEnforcer XD's and a Tommy Hilfiger waffle lined hoodie that may give you a similar result while wearing a tie; or vice versa.

The Amazing Grilled Cheese Bacon Burger & Spidey-Kicks

Yes, this is another post about a delicious burger from Carl's Jr. but this time a superhero is involved. The Amazing Grilled Cheese Bacon Burger is another "Patty Melt" with the addition of bacon and melted Swiss and American cheeses.

I have no idea of how this gooey concoction correlates with the new Spider-Man movie but the bacon covered in all of that melted cheese and buttery sourdough was quite tasty. If you don't already know, the new Spider-Man movie is set to be released into theaters next month on July 3. I have taken the time to post the trailer below alongside some Amazing Spidey-Kicks that you can use to work off all of those amazing grilled cheese calories.
