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.

Teotihuacan (by Noel Gallagher)
Noel Gallagher’s Teotihuacan is one of my favorite songs. An instrumental from 1996, it was featured in X-Files: Fight the Future. Note that there are two versions of this song. The one on the film’s soundtrack has a more muted bass, whereas this one (from…
He’s Back (The Man Behind the Mask) by Alice Cooper
Today is Friday the 13th, and I’ve had this song kind of stuck in my mind. From Alice Copper comes this ’80s classic song about Jason Voorhees. Be safe out there. 🙂
“I Ain’t Superstitious” – by Jeff Beck & Rod Stewart
Ever get a tune stuck in your head that you just can’t pin down?. I was trying to track down a song from Martin Scorsese’s Casino, and thank goodness, I finally found it. “I Ain’t Superstitious” was a classic blues tune originally written by Willie…
Come to Me – by Brad Fiedel
When I think of Brad Fiedel, the Terminator series is usually the first thing that comes to mind. 1985’s Fright Night, however, happens to be a great soundtrack by Fiedel. With Halloween coming, some of the music from that film is on my mind. For…
Terry Jones (1942-2020)
You know that part in The Sandlot, where Smalls suddenly realizes that the “some lady named Ruth” signature on his dad’s baseball was actually that of The Great Bambino? That is me today, regarding Terry Jones’ passing. Terry Jones was one of the founders of…
