This year my life is so hectic I am unable to plan out and execute my normal Beatles Week posts. I am, however, able to get something posted, so here we go. Tell Me Why and BeatleSongs have no real information regarding these recordings. The first Christmas single sent out to members of their fan club was…
Queen’s 1986 A Kind Of Magic album is probably my favorite from the band. I was already a fan of the band, and had a vinyl copy of News Of The World, a cassettes of A Night At The Opera and one other. I had watched VHS tapes of a couple of concerts and was…
I grew up on Marvin Gaye. My mom had the What’s Going On album and played it rather frequently. Like many, it would be my introduction to the man who helped shape modern soul music. That album came at roughly the midway point of his career, something I didn’t really know until I was in…
When writing I try to listen to music I am somewhat familiar with, so as not to get caught up and distracted. The Ramones is probably my most used “go to” band for this. Usually I don’t use Devo because I wind up getting caught up in the music, but there is a playlist of…
The first Art Of Noise track I remember being aware of was “Close (To The Edit)” essentially a remix of “Close To The Edge”. Yeah, I don’t get the video either. It remains one of my favorite tracks from the band. Other than Trevor Horn, The Art Of Noise was a creation of studio musicians…

Kyle came over for Thanksgiving dinner. This was the only good picture from the whole evening. Every other one was blurry because either people or the camera…
This past Saturday was the championships for Dela’s gymnastics group. It is a pretty big deal because only two teams from her division were invited to the competition. I think there was something like 10 teams total from the three different branches of the Seattle Gymnastics Academy. While here other three events may not have been as…
Easily one of, if not the best animated series “The Animaniacs” was syndicated from what I remember and broadcast in the afternoons Monday through Friday. While I could easily go on and on about how subversive the humor of the series was (and still is) I want to focus on one of the other aspects thee…
I was introduced to Blue Öyster Cult formally in 1982, though I am sure I had heard the band’s songs on the radio beforehand. 1982 is when we moved next door to who would be my best friend throughout high school and for several years afterward. David introduced me to several bands, Blue Öyster Cult being one…
