Music Monday: Charles Bradley

I was introduced to Charles Bradley in Belgium. A few of his earlier singles were gathered up and a few extra songs put together on his 2011 debut album No Time For Dreaming with 2013 seeing Victim Of Love arriving. For whatever reason I never did pick up either of his albums at the time. To…

Music Monday: Rock This Way – Zinzanni On The Weekends

Teatro Zinzanni is a staple of the Seattle nightlife scene and has been for … about 20 years I think. Initially set up in an empty lot with a tent for a limited run the company now features a permanent building, summer camps for kids and shows that feature a variety of different feats. Their…

Music Monday: The Who (Part 2)

By |

I have seen The Who twice. The first time was 2002. I had the opportunity to see the band in 1996, but opted to not go. I knew the band was largely going through the motions with regards to performing, and I wasn’t sure I wanted to see the band perform Quadrophenia followed by a few…

Music Monday: The Who (Part 1)

I grew up being aware of The Who. Kieth Moon’s passing was an event I wasn’t really conscious of, happening a year or so before I truly became conscious of happenings in the world of rock and roll. 1981’s “You Better You Bet” from the album Face Dances was the first single by The Who…

Music Monday: Shonen Knife

I wish I remembered when I was first introduced to Shonen Knife. I think it was sometime in the late 80s. My best friend at the time had a cassette. I only remember in passing having heard it once or twice. It wasn’t until several years later, 1991 or 1992 that I started to actually be…

Tie Your Mother Down (or Parenting Success)

We are driving to… somewhere, I don’t remember, and it is not important to this story. Anyway, I place Queen’s Day At The Races in the CD player. As the first song “Tie Your Mother Down” finishes Xavier asks “Is this Queen?” I was both pleased and proud my 5 year old recognized the band….

Music Monday: Our Lips Are Sealed

By |

I was introduced to The Go-Gos like most of the world through the music video for “Our Lips Are Sealed.” Because we didn’t have cable it was “Friday Night Videos” that brought the video into our living room. It would be a couple of decades before I got to see the band perform, but I…

Music Monday: Super Bowl 50

By |

Is it just me or was the half-time show at this year’s Super Bowl completely underwhelming? Bruno Mars and Beyonce tried to bring some excitement, but this just didn’t feel like something worthy of a milestone. There were no surprises. I think Beyonce or Bruno Mars were supposed to be a surprise, but that just…

Music Monday: Immersion

I picked up the three Pink Floyd “Immersion” boxes recently and after having dove into them, I’m ready to come up with my verdict on them. A missed opportunity that falls short. Oh, don’t get me wrong, they are good sets, but for the price, even at the discount I got them for, it just…
