1984’s Ocean Rain was one of the first “alternative” albums that I purchased. This was back in 1986 when I was really discovering music that wasn’t on mainstream radio. The album set a sonic atmosphere that I loved and I began exploring other releases from the band. One could describe much of the band’s sound as…
Over the years her songs would come on the radio or her videos would cross my view and I found them amusing and enjoyable enough. I never dismissed them, but I also didn’t give them much weight. When my daughter started paying attention to Taylor Swift a couple of years ago I paid more attention…
I was always aware of Queen, I imagine, in the background of my life, but it was 1980’s “Another One Bites The Dust” that brought the band to the forefront of my attention. Later that year the Flash Gordon movie came out. I was a fan of Flash Gordon, having watched the serials, so this…
I love The Damned. I mentioned that before though. I could go on about how they were the first punk band in England to have a record deal, release a single or an album, but chances are if you are reading beyond the title of this blog post you already know this. If you want…
We are away on vacation. While it’s not quite the same sentiment, here are The Go-Gos singing about it.
While this isn’t one of the best Ramones songs, it is arguably their best video. Released as a single in 1986 the video, and to a lesser extent the song itself, pokes fun at the plethora of various musical charity singles and concerts of the era. While it is amusing today, back then “Something To…
I was thinking about this a while ago. I am not necessarily ashamed of any of the music in my collection, but I can feel a bit sheepish. I know the difference between “good” music and “enjoyable” and this isn’t meant to be a list of “good” (or “bad”) music but instead these are one…
The opening riff “Lonesome Street” is like a declaration. First the sirens, then the guitar blast hits you and suddenly it is 1994 again. Well, not exactly, but this is as close to a statement that we are going to get from the band that it has embraced its past sound while still moving forward….
There is one Replacements album I still need to get. I can’t find it anywhere as it is apparently out of print to the point that even Amazon and other online retailers do not have it. Finding it used is a challenge to say the least. I am referring to Tim, the band’s major label…
1. I am looking forward to Mad Max: Fury Road. I mean, really looking forward to it. Don’t get me wrong, I want to see Avengers: Age Of Ultron, but this Mad Max film has me excited. Like, edge of my seat excited. I know too much about the plot as it is, which is slightly disappointing…
