Friday Vid
I’m having a fun morning. I’m searching on what movies are appropriate for a 12-year-old’s sleepover. Up until now it’s been pretty easy to pick movies to show when our girls have friends over. But now that M is up on the verge of being a teenager, you can’t throw in a Barbie movie or even a good animated flick…
Friday Playlist
As promised last week, a video and playlist of older songs I’ve heard on SiriusXM over the past 15 days or so. “Bye Bye Love” – The Cars. I heard this song a week or so ago on one of the SiriusXM throwback stations. As I listened, and considered it’s greatness, I thought about how many hits The Cars had…
The Fanboy
Friday night was fun. Perhaps it didn’t live up to every expectation I had for the evening, but my philosophy for the night was I would not complain about anything that involved a free concert by my favorite band within almost throwing distance of my house. There was a quibble here and there, but overall it was a very good…
Just Once
Music post #2 for the day. Consequence of Sound released their list of the top 100 one-hit-wonders of all time earlier this week. It’s a lot of fun. All music lists are ripe for being picked apart for any number of reasons. I think one-hit-wonder lists are especially troublesome. You can argue for hours about how to define a one-hit-wonder…
Winning & Friday Vid
It’s a big music day around here. I had a nice Friday Playlist ready to go – mostly built on older songs this week – but I’ve decided to hold that off until next week so I can focus on a couple other music-related things to share. That’s right, Kansas has a new album out today! (Insert record scratching sound…
Friday Playlist
https://open.spotify.com/user/224aiwksicafjldlua6nnpo4y/playlist/0hxReEmb2Uyy5HVjMSQs1t “Hard Girls” – KT Tunstall. Tunstall has been a little uneven over her past couple records. Her new album has not received great reviews, but the good songs are a return to the smart pop sound that was the core of her breakthrough. “Buffalo Stance” – Neneh Cherry. One of the great one-hit-wonders of all time. A legitimately fantastic…
Friday Playlist
I believe I’ve said this before, but one of the reasons I like Spotify a lot more than Apple Music is because of the new music Spotify recommends to me. Apple Music’s recommendations always seemed to suck. Every week, between the Discover Weekly playlist on Monday and Release Radar playlist on Friday, I find at least one new act to…
Long Overdue
Hall & Oates somehow just received their Hollywood Walk of Fame star last week. Which makes total sense. You know, an act that was in its prime 30 years ago just getting their recognition now. Honestly, it’s staggering if you scroll through the list of entertainers who previously received stars and compare some of their careers to H&O’s. Maybe there…
Friday Playlist
The last weekend of the summer of 2016. Not all of these songs fit that theme, but most do. https://open.spotify.com/user/224aiwksicafjldlua6nnpo4y/playlist/60jyepVBxLmp8t8bVNo4be “Not Gonna Kill You” – Angel Olsen. Olsen’s MY WOMAN just hit this morning. I’m not all the way through it yet, but based on what I’ve already heard, and the reviews, it’s a strong contender for album of the…
