I really can’t find much out about this band or song. It’s a good tune for the summer, which is enough to share it with you. “One Day Left” – Stars. If you’ve read my music writings over the years, you should know that I love songs and albums about breakups. This…
Reaching For The Stars, Vol. 8
I’m a bit behind on these. Mostly because of not having solid internet access (fuckers). But I have three of these posts mentally queued up from the past month that I’m going to try to crank out over the next week. Chart Week: July 5, 1980 Song: “Stomp!” – The Brothers Johnson Chart Position: #28, 17th week on the chart.…

There are hints of neo-R&B, but I wouldn’t say it’s a modern R&B song. There’s a healthy amount of indie rock to it, but it also doesn’t sound like standard indie rock fare. Nor is it straight, modern pop. Regardless, this ode by Broken Social…

For years I couldn’t remember the artist that sang this song, which I listened to on an endless loop the week I graduated from high school. I had the cassette single of it – holy time warp, Batman – and someone swiped it from me when I got to college that fall. When the wonderful…

Hmmm, based on my test post, it looks like Spotify playlist embedding might be working again. Naturally I had a post based purely on videos lined up for today… Funny thing, all three times we’ve purchased a house, the third week of June has been involved in the transaction. Fifteen years ago we bought our current home in May, but…
“Coming Back For Evan More of Exactly the Same” – 10 Years of The Midnight Organ Fight
“Good arms vs. bad arms will win hands down, down…” Ten years ago today I was going through my normal morning routine of scrolling through my RSS Reader’s new article queue while the girls watched Disney shows when I came across a blog post that changed my life. The I Am Fuel, You Are Friends blog, which was one of…

So frustrating that Spotify and WordPress still don’t appear to be working well together. So I guess I’ll stick to videos for the time being, until I can figure out why playlists no longer embed. https://youtu.be/BmRovgZsvAQ “Africa” – Toto. The song that blew up the Internet a couple weeks ago. I have mixed feelings. It’s pretty faithful to the original.…

Welp, appears something between Spotify and WordPress is not working these days. So only a video for today. “Hey Ladies” – Beastie Boys. A classic. Free James Brown.

Man, Hatchie’s five-song EP which came out a week ago is sneakily one of the best things I’ve heard this year. “An Air Conditioned Man” – Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever. Speaking of Best of 2018, based on two early singles from their up-coming album, RBCF are poised to become one of the great bands…

About an hour ago I dropped the girls off at school for the last time this academic year. And, as M pointed out, this is the last time we will ever take that route to school. Next fall our drive will be about eight minutes shorter. Some songs for the occasion. https://open.spotify.com/user/224aiwksicafjldlua6nnpo4y/playlist/2sNdaB8TKyTxvUWJpXrGtP?si=0LXIAbKTR9yr9my302jN_g “Summer of ’69” – Bryan Adams “Summer Nights”…
