Friday Night Music: Life in the Bush of Ghosts

Friday, May 23, 2008

Things have been a bit slow at work lately. As I cruised the net during some down time I came across David Byrne’s blog, from which I followed a few links and discovered that My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, an album he did paired with Brian Eno, is now available in a remastered […]

Friday Night Music-Little Richard

Friday, May 16, 2008

One of the originals. Good Golly Miss Molly: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhybWFjuN2g[/youtube] Next, as a free bonus, something almost completely different. Who would think you could make this song rock? [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtgFVk70yMc[/youtube]

Friday Night Music, Fats Domino

Friday, May 2, 2008

Okay, so I was looking for Sam Cooke, but there’s slim pickings at youtube for one of the greatest rock/soul pioneers. I try to avoid the videos that just consist of music and still pictures, but that’s pretty much all there is on Sam. At least on that Sam. I also discovered that there is […]

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]
