Friday Night Music

Friday, October 14, 2011

Trying to keep these somewhat topical, as well as avoiding repeats. It’s not always possible. I wanted to dedicate something to Rick and Anita Perry. Anita says that her husband is being brutalized for his faith by his fellow Republicans. You can’t deny he’s a good Christian. How else explain his relish for the death […]

I was thinking of posting this a couple of days ago, but didn’t, and then Krugman used the opening lines to open his column this morning, so I decided that I would put it up. Not completely germane to the present occurrences in New York and elsewhere, but close enough. This version of For What […]

This is dedicated to all those poor misunderstood Wall Streeters presently under attack by the proles in New York: As you can see here, they’re suffering terribly:

Well, I’m really scraping the bottom of the back catalogue here, though I actually like both of these songs, and both of them were giant hits back in the long ago. They seem similar, in a way. Arrived at through some youtube stream of consciousness browsing. I always wrote these women off as one hit […]

This was like a gift from heaven. It’s getting harder and harder to come up with bands or acts I haven’t had on this feature, so I was glad to have this one dropped on me, so to speak. I was listening to my favorite internet radio station, Absolute Classic Rock out of London. As […]

I don’t think I’ve posted Tina Turner before. If not, it’s a shameful oversight. If I have, well, she’s worth a repeat. Here she is with a guy named Ike, back in the early days. Believe it or not there are a lot of videos of Tina Turner and Mick Jagger singing together, and it’s […]

Before their unfortunate veer into disco, the one form of music that is not truly music, the Bee Gees were a decent enough group, featuring harmonies on reasonably decent songs. So, despite their sins, for which I’m sure they have since repented (having pocketed the boodle therefrom) they deserve their .15 seconds of fame on […]

Friday Night Music-Everything’s Broken

Thursday, August 25, 2011

I’ve put up Ben Sidran before, and ordinarily I wouldn’t deem him worthy of a repeat performance, but his is the best video version of this song that I can find, and for reasons that should be painfully obvious to anyone with their eyes open, this song seems quite timely right now. I’m ordinarily an […]

Before I get to the music, I have to explain why this is going up so early. I got up at 5 in the morning and began my bike trek to Vermont, phase one to end in Amherst, where I am now. I booked a room at the Amherst Motel, where I had been told […]

Friday Night Summer Concert

Friday, July 22, 2011

See if you can spot the theme here.   A couple of standards. These Drifters are apparently one of many incarnations, but they sound alright to me: The Spoonful: And finally, something a little different, but I think we can all agree with the sentiment:
