Disintegration – by The Cure
Today is Robert Smith’s 61st birthday. The Cure’s been around since the late 70’s, but I can’t say that I knew of them as well as I did some other bands. Just about everyone knows of Friday I’m in Love, or Burn (off of the…
She’s Gone Away – by (the) Nine Inch Nails
Today marks the 30th Anniversary of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks. Goodness, what a strange and wild show. The original show can be found on just every streaming network, and a marathon of 2017’s Twin Peaks: The Return is on Showtime (as well as the individual…
A Love Bizarre – by Sheila E. & Prince
When I think about 1985’s Krush Groove (which doesn’t happen too often these days), two things comes to mind. The Fat Boys raiding a local Sbarro’s pizzeria (I really miss their Pizza), and Sheila E. singing Love Bizarre. Love Bizarre is one of my favorite…
Soul Makossa – by Manu Dibango
Soul Makossa is a song that I’ve been searching for off and on for nearly 20 years. While the song was popular when I was little, my best memory of it comes from a movie (as always). There’s a scene in Robert Harmon’s HBO Film…
America – Prince and the Revolution
I’ve been listening to a lot of Prince over the last month. One of the cool things about albums growing up was extended versions of songs. You’d have some songs that would stretch well into 6 to 8 minutes. The first three minutes are lyrics,…
No Time to Die – by Billie Eilish
Grammy Award Winner Billie Eilish just released her theme song to the upcoming Bond Film, No Time to Die. Along with her brother Finneas, Eilish collaborated with composer Hans Zimmer and Johnny Marr (both of whom worked together on the Inception score). As this film…
All My Life – Foo Fighters
A Happy Birthday shout out goes out to the Foo Fighters frontman, Dave Grohl, who turns 51 today! Here’s one of my favorite Foo Fighters songs, All My Life, from their live performance back in Wembley Stadium in 2008. I’ve been to two Foo Fighters…
Doodle Let Me Go (by A.L. Lloyd)
For most of the World, the New Year has already come. 2020 is in full swing. At the time of this writing, we still have about 3 hours before the chimes hit. Gives us just a bit of time to share a bit of music….
Christmas Star (by John Williams)
When I think of Christmas, there are a few songs that come to mind. From John Williams comes “Christmas Star”, tied to Home Alone 2. This one always makes me smile. Enjoy and Happy Holidays.
The Little Drummer Boy – (by Christopher Lee)
With it being the Holidays, I thought I would share some of my favorites. Did you know that in addition to all of the great things Christopher Lee did in his lifetime, he also recorded a Heavy Metal Christmas album in his nineties? Below is…
In Memoriam – Ennio Morricone (Nov 10, 1928 – Jul 06, 2020)
I woke up this morning and found out that legendary composer and Academy Award Winner Ennio Morricone has passed away at the age of 91. Unfortunately, I haven’t the knowledge to fully give Morricone the justice he deserves. He was known mostly for his scores…
