Friday Night Music-Doo Wah Diddy Diddy Dum Diddy Doo

Friday, April 18, 2008

If you can listen to this song and not start smiling, then you need to change your meds. Mannfred Mann: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwA0NaRmyCA&feature=related[/youtube]

Friday Night Music-REM

Friday, April 11, 2008

I’m too impressionable. These guys were on Colbert last week, so I figured next chance I got, I’d put them up. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_XFMCgeI7c&feature=related[/youtube]

Friday Night Music-The Stones

Friday, April 4, 2008

This was a last minute choice, on the front page at Youtube, but I couldn’t resist. This is from 2006. Not bad for a bunch of old geezers. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-TCP38r6Iw[/youtube]

Friday Night Music

Friday, March 28, 2008

Okay, I do this with some reluctance, but I am sick of cold weather, and this song, California Dreaming by the Mamas and the Papas, came to mind. I know they are something of a cliche, but the song brings back pleasant memories. I searched in vain for a non-lip synched version, but could find […]

Friday night Music-Woody Guthrie

Friday, March 21, 2008

I’ve made it a rule to avoid this type of video, in which there’s actually no video, but most rules are made to be broken. It being Good Friday, this song seemed to be appropriate. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDS00Pnhkqk[/youtube]

Friday Night Music-Chuck Berry

Friday, March 14, 2008

Johnny B. Goode, introduced by Trini Lopez I believe. Check out those girls dancing in cages. Definitely a period piece. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0YUA3yTUss[/youtube]

Friday Night Music-Lou Reed

Friday, March 7, 2008

Okay, I caught one rather odd change in the lyrics. They aren’t colored girls anymore. Given the subject matter, it’s sort of hard to figure why he made that change. Take a Walk on the Wild Side: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJV0MljEcTk[/youtube] I just love these sort of pairings. This tops David Bowie and Bing Crosby. Lou Reed and […]

Friday night music-Warren Zevon

Friday, February 29, 2008

I spent most of the day in a train. It’s funny how doing nothing can make you so tired. I write this from a hotel room, where I am about to hit the sack. The Amtrak magazine had a list of 10 supposedly obscure albums to download to your Ipod, and one of them was […]

Friday Night Music-Wilco

Friday, February 15, 2008

This is a song suggested by someone who came to the last Drinking Liberally. He actually sent me a number of links, some of which were broken. I decided on this one, anyway, because it’s a little more au courant, (i.e., it does not conclusively demonstrate that I’m stuck in the 60s) and it’s somewhat […]

Friday Night Music: Jimmy Cliff

Friday, February 8, 2008

Many Rivers to Cross. The group singing with him is The Sounds of Blackness. This one starts a bit slow, so you have to be patient. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HWAIWsP5OM[/youtube]
