It is no secret The Beatles is my favorite band. If it is a surprise then you haven’t been reading this blog very long. Sometimes I am asked what my favorite Beatles song is. For the longest time it was “Rocky Raccoon” for reasons I don’t really quite understand to this day (and no, it…
People are often surprised at some of the bands I like. This one is probably one of them. And I don’t care. I became aware of Letters To Cleo through the song “Here And Now” like pretty much everybody else did, though not necessarily through the Melrose Place soundtrack single and video that most people seem…
I showed this video to my daughter a couple of weeks ago. She is into dance – having taken a few different classes before settling into Irish Dance a few years ago. This blew her away. There are two components to this video. The first is the song itself. Listen to the words. Rhythm Nation is…
I now have all of Queen’s released studio recordings, which may not seem like a big deal, but it is not as clear cut a prospect as you might initially imagine. There are of course the fifteen albums the band has released, but that’s not the whole of it. Each of those studio albums has been…
I have always liked The Eurythmics. I was introduced to them, as most people were, through the single “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of These)” and its corresponding music video. It may have been a bit unusual to see a woman appearing like that int he music video in 1983, but when the band appeared on…
I remember distinctly my introduction to Oingo Boingo. It was some point in the early 80s and it was Saturday morning, perhaps Sunday, but most likely Saturday. It would be late morning or early afternoon. There was a show on sort of like “American Bandstand” or “Soul Train” but probably a local show, not nationally syndicated. The…
The second time I saw The Who it was 2008 during the annual Electronic Entertainment Expo. Harmonix had found success with the core Rock Band game as well as some downloadable tracks the previous year (though it had created the genre a couple of years earlier with Guitar Hero). While the concept had proven feasible,…
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…
Since he doesn’t blog anymore it was through his Facebook status update I was made aware of this idea. Here is the introduction as I initially saw it posted: Rules of the Game: Copy this and post as your status update. List 12 albums that made a lasting impression on you, but only 1 per…
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…
