Friday Night Music

Friday, June 7, 2013

So, no rock legends died this week, but chance has come to my rescue. I’ve got my iPod connected to my car stereo system, and my choice of music is pretty much dictated by randomly spinning the selection wheel on the stereo. It’s an uncertain process, since I also have to keep an eye on […]

This one is apropos of nothing. Sometimes I get desperate. I came across Kinky as I scrolled through my iTunes library, and I thought, why not?

I know it’s ghoulish, but my job in this feature gets easier whenever another aging rock star bites the dust. This week Ray Manzarek, a founder of the Doors, went to Rock and Roll Heaven, so I have an excuse to put up some Doors music. I didn’t even try to find stuff that featured […]

Friday Night Music-Nostalgia edition

Friday, May 17, 2013

These are songs that, at least for me, pre-date my first transistor radio. They have absolutely nothing to do with anything going on in the world today, and have only a cheery optimism in common. It’s funny the things that stick in your head. When I was a kid I liked this song, and this […]

Breaking some rules here, but this song seemed like the perfect follow up to my previous post about the man who used to be a Senator from this great state. No concert videos available, so this will have to do. This was one of those songs that I heard on my first transistor (6 transistors!) […]

I saw Iggy Pop on the Colbert Show this week, and it occurred to me that I’d never put him in this feature. Truth to tell I was only dimly aware of his existence back in the day, though I knew he was in the same basic camp as Lou Reed and David Bowie. So, […]

I don’t live in Boston, but I’ve been a Sox fan all my life, so I’ve certainly had my heart broken there a lot and I feel like in some small way that it’s my fuckin’ city too. So, in case you haven’t seen them, here’s the folks in Boston affirming their resilience. I mean […]

I spent some time perusing a list of songs about Boston, but truth to tell, I kept coming back to this one. These guys are a bit long in the tooth, and I don’t think it’s true that Boston girls still have to be in by twelve o’clock, but hey, those were different times. It’s […]

Friday Night Music-Two Ladies

Friday, April 12, 2013

One of the unwritten rules for the Friday Night feature is that I don’t repeat an artist, but since it’s unwritten and since I unwrote it, I can break it any time I like. In any event, I’m running out of artists, though I’ve never, so far as I can recall, posted anything with the […]
