That's the way things happened in those days." It was my title, but Otis wrote the song and Presley took a writing credit in order to get him to record it. In a 2009 interview, Hess revealed the origins of the song, and claimed to come up with the title of the song: "As far as ‘All Shook Up’, the title came from a real set of circumstances and when I decided not to write it, Otis Blackwell did and I had the first recording for Aladdin Records. By morning, he had a new song, 'All Shook Up'." įuture Last House on the Left actor David Hess, using the stage name David Hill, was the first to record the song on Aladdin Records, titled "I'm All Shook Up".

I don't know what kind of voodoo magic was used to code Shrook, and frankly I don't want to know. It's fast, has a fantastic search function and auto-refreshes constantly, but uses only a small fraction of the system resources of every other standalone reader I've tried. All I can say is that it's as close to perfect as I could possibly want. Shrook has been around for a very, very long time, and although I had overlooked it in my panicky search for a Google Reader replacement, I finally figured I'd give it a shot.
It was like a sign from the internet gods that I should just give up.Īnd then I found Shrook on the Mac App Store. I thought I had discovered my new go-to in The Old Reader and then, after the service blew up in popularity, almost died entirely and was brought back to life, the search option disappeared.
I has a sad.Īs you can see, the most common reason for disappointment was a lack of search features. NetNewsWire - Has a search feature! Huzzah! It also has system-crippling memory requirements and can't do anything in less than 45 seconds.Feedly - No search feature (unless you're one of 5,000 testers of the US$5 Feedly Pro).I'm not going to go through the entire list of both standalone and web apps that failed me, but here are a few dead-end streets I found myself on:
That's not too much to ask, is it? Well apparently it is, because after over a month and a half of searching and testing, I've only just now stumbled across Shrook, the free RSS reader of my dreams. It needs to be fast (web-based or standalone app, it doesn't matter) it must accept OPML files and it needs to have a reliable search feature. You see, ever since the death of Google Reader, I've been searching high and low for an RSS reader that meets my needs. I'm going to tell you about the only RSS reader I have found that fits my style of browsing, but I'm worried that in doing so I will unintentionally curse it. As I write this article I am filled with fear.
