Song 503 ( Oasis - Champagne Supernova )

-


I have been meaning to choose this song for quite some time, but other songs kept butting in and were chosen for some reason. About a month or so ago this song was on the air a lot and came to my attention. Quite a nice song for the beginning of a new week.

6770. Martika - Toy Soldiers

-
Image
From: Martika ; Year: 1988; Genre: Pop Since the other day I've had this track on my mind, which is another that I have not heard in decades. It's weird how certain songs will play almost like you are actually listening to them; this is one of them. Could still remember the chord progression, words and the instruments' sounds. Anyway, back in the late 1980s, (basically when I was a pre-teen/young teenager), I remember hearing this one a lot as well as a handful of other songs from Martika. If I remember correctly she was kind of already a household name prior to her recording debut with her acting career on a few films and television shows. Apparently Martika drew weary of life in the spotlight and the music industry in particular; she walked away after a few years and then reemerged about a decade later. She formed the band Oppera with her husband. They seem to have made two studio album and she has done some more solo recording.   Hear Toy Soldiers on YouTube.     ...

6769. Carmen - Drifting Along

-
Image
From: Dancing on a Cold Wind ; Year: 1975; Genre: Flamenco Rock/Progressive Rock Was enjoying this album once again yesterday; I thought I would choose another from it. Don't have very many left to pick from on this disc, or any of their others. Such a shame that they existed for such a transient time and with only three releases.... This one exemplifies their blending of hard rock and the intricacies and power of flamenco; just a great one to sit back and lose yourself listening to.   Hear Drifting Along on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Herbie Hancock - Fat Mama     My song pick 2 years ago today: The Kingsmen - Louie Louie   My song pick 3 years ago today: Hawkwind - Spaceship Blues   My song pick 4 years ago today: Jamiroquai - Space Cowboy   My song pick 5 years ago today: Hall & Oates - You Make My Dreams (Come True)   My song pick 6 years ago today: Jethro Tull - Something's on the Move   My song ...

6771. Pete Townshend - Let My Love Open the Door

-
Image
From: Empty Glass ; Year: 1980; Genre: Rock I must've heard this one recently because it has been on my mind for the last day or so. I knew Pete Townshend wrote and sung on this track, always thought there was a recording of it on a Who album too, but I guess I was in error. I really like the bass and drums in particular; definitely the song's driving force.    Hear Let My Love Open the Door on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Grand Funk Railroad - The Loco-Motion     My song pick 2 years ago today: The Steve Miller Band - Young Girl's Heart   My song pick 3 years ago today: Toto - 99   My song pick 4 years ago today: Lou Reed - Men of Good Fortune   My song pick 5 years ago today: Victor Wooten - Joe's Journey   My song pick 6 years ago today: Steeleye Span - Fighting for Strangers   My song pick 7 years ago today: Dire Straits - Romeo & Juliet My song pick 8 years ago today: James Brown - I Got Yo...

6773. Cinderella - Nobody's Fool

From: Night Songs ; Year: 1986; Genre: Glam Metal Hard to believe, (for me at least), that another month has passed and new one begins... time is just flying by. Anyway, it is April Fools Day once again, so I'm picking an apropos song for the occasion.   Hear Nobody's Fool on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Lou Rawls - Now And Then There's A Fool Such As I     My song pick 2 years ago today: Ricky Nelson - Poor Little Fool   My song pick 3 years ago today: Whitesnake - Fool For Your Loving   My song pick 4 years ago today: James Brown - These Foolish Things (Remind Me of You)   My song pick 5 years ago today: Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers - Why Do Fools Fall In Love   My song pick 6 years ago today: Billy Joel - Sometimes a Fantasy   My song pick 7 years ago today: Def Leppard - Foolin' My song pick 8 years ago today: The Doobie Brothers - What a Fool Believes My song pick 9 years ago today: Roxy Musi...

6772. Blue Mink - Get Up

-
Image
From: The Best of Blue Mink ; Year: 1974; Genre: Funk I just love finding bands that are new to me. I learned of Blue Mink through the works of bass great Herbie Flowers, who is among my favourite masters of the musical instrument. I wanted to pick this funky number, which was a single from just prior to the band calling it quits. Kind of neat how, even with them being a successful band, they continued with their side work of being session musicians during Blue Mink's run. Thus, they have appeared on a multitude of recordings before, during, and since the band's existence.   Hear Get Up on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Band of Horses - In Need of Repair     My song pick 2 years ago today: Classics IV - Traces   My song pick 3 years ago today: Dr. John - Snake Eyes   My song pick 4 years ago today: Harry Nilsson - Jump Into the Fire   My song pick 5 years ago today: Bob Dylan - It Ain't Me Babe   My song pick 6 ...

6774. Queensrÿche - The Needle Lies

-
Image
From: Operation: Mindcrime ; Year: 1988; Genre: Progressive Metal Just wot I need to get the blood moving on such a busy day. This one begins side two, which more or less places it in the middle of the story. Musically The Needle Lies is a fast-paced and hard hitting metal track that really compliments the point in the tale where Nikki confronts the nefarious Dr. X and tells him that he and Mary are leaving. He comes to terms with his past as an addict and vows to move on.   Hear The Needle Lies on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Aphrodite's Child - Day of the Fool     My song pick 2 years ago today: Nelson - (Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection   My song pick 3 years ago today: Louis Armstrong - Everybody's Talkin' (Echoes)   My song pick 4 years ago today: Lenny Kravitz - Are You Gonna Go My Way   My song pick 5 years ago today: Stevie Wonder - Higher Ground   My song pick 6 years ago today: The Guess W...

1318 Queensrÿche - Fear City Slide From: Operation: Mind Crime II, Year: 2006 I've been heavily enjoying Queensrÿche's Operation: Mindcrime II album lately; this is one of many tracks that I absolutely love off of the album. This concept album is a continuation of the story begun on their '88 Operation: Mindcrime album. I can just imagine what the music critics were like when they first heard about this album: a concept album from a Progressive Metal band? They must've went completely apoplectic. Here is the studio version on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Dream Theater - Light Fuse and Get Away My song pick two years ago today: The Doors - Ghost Song My song pick three years ago today: Badfinger - Day After Day +
