As I was thinking about a song to pick today this mellow and bluesy 'Stones track came to mind; I figured I'd extend my mini theme one more day. I'm not too sure how long I will keep this 'Beastly' theme going, but I'll see what I feel like tomorrow.

Hear Beast of Burden on YouTube.

From: Nights Are Forever ; Year: 1976; Genre: Soft Rock I cannot begin to count the times I heard this album, especially growing up; my Mom and Dad played it a lot. It has always been one I liked quite much; the music and lyrics are always really interesting to listen to, especially with headphones on.   Hear Nights Are Forever Without You on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Merle Haggard - My Own Kind of Hat     My song pick 2 years ago today: Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers - I'm Not a Juvenile Delinquent     My song pick 3 years ago today: Solar Plexus - The Serpent Speaks   My song pick 4 years ago today: Alphaville - Romeos   My song pick 5 years ago today: Savatage - Legions   My song pick 6 years ago today: Gerry And The Pacemakers - Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying   My song pick 7 years ago today: Steely Dan - I Got the News   My song pick 8 years ago today: Tarja Turunen - Undertaker ...

6966. Slade - Far Far Away

-
Image
From: Slade in Flame ; Year: 1974; Genre: Rock Still choosing songs that just start playing in my mind whilst going about my day; although, unlike other recent picks, this is one that I have heard quite a bit and not that long ago. I was unaware that this, their fifth studio album, was actually a soundtrack to a film which starred the members of the band concerning the rise and fall of a fictional band Flame. Have obviously never seen it, but now is on my "movies to watch list" I suppose. Anyway, I cannot remember where I first heard this one, but immediately liked it; that loping shuffle with the overall bluesy melody is just a great combination.    Hear Far Far Away on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Neil Sedaka - Laughter in the Rain     My song pick 2 years ago today: The Jimmy Castor Bunch - Sweetooth     My song pick 3 years ago today: The Moody Blues - Watching and Waiting   My song pick 4 years ago today: ...

6965. Lou Gramm - Just Between You and Me

-
Image
From: Long Hard Look ; Year: 1989; Genre: Rock Here is yet another one that I have not heard in many moons and just started playing in my brain; who knows where it came from? But at least I got it out and made it today's pick. Back when it was released and some years after it was played a lot, so it was quite ubiquitous, but eventually faded from popular culture somewhat. Gramm's vocals are a s powerful as ever in this one; he was/is the main driving force for the band Foreigner and it shows.   Hear Just Between You and Me on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: The (Detroit) Spinners - Spaceballs     My song pick 2 years ago today: Ray Parker Jr. - Ghostbusters     My song pick 3 years ago today: David Essex - Stardust   My song pick 4 years ago today: Beat Crusaders - Summerend   My song pick 5 years ago today: The Alan Parsons Project - To One in Paradise   My song pick 6 years ago today: Sky - Gymnopedie No. 1 ...

6967. Michael Kiwanuka - Final Days

-
Image
From: Kiwanuka ; Year: 2019; Genre: Psychedelic Soul Heard some of Michael Kiwanuka's music the other day and it really got me to go back and listen to more of his songs. I have to say, he is definitely a breath of fresh air artistically with how stale recent releases of popular music has become in the last couple of decades or longer; gotta find the diamonds in the rough!   Hear Final Days on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Wall of Voodoo - Mexican Radio     My song pick 2 years ago today: Neil Diamond - Shilo     My song pick 3 years ago today: Automat - Droid My song pick 4 years ago today: Paul Revere & The Raiders - Hungry   My song pick 5 years ago today: Cybotron - Encounter   My song pick 6 years ago today: Soundgarden - Bleed Together   My song pick 7 years ago today: Focus - Sylvia   My song pick 8 years ago today: Funkadelic - (Not Just) Knee Deep My song pick 9 years ago today: Blue Öyst...

Theme Picks

This list contains links to my theme weeks and other odd themes that I sometimes do. I highly doubt that it is complete; as I remember/rediscover other themes that I have done in the past I will add them to this list. I guess I should've made this list a long time ago, it would've saved a lot of hassle. My Theme Weeks (in chronological order): Canadian artist theme week - A week of songs from Canadian artists. Truck driving song theme week - A week of picks that featured song about or related to truck driving. Music I like that others I know do not like theme week - Kind of self-explanatory. "The Five" workweek theme - One song from each member of a group of Russian composers known as "The Five:" Mily Balakirev, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Modest Mussorgsky, César Cui, and Alexander Borodin. Eric Clapton theme week - A week of songs that feature Eric Clapton. "Moon" song theme week - A week of songs with "Moon" in the ti...
