From: Funkadelic; Year: 1970; Genre: Funk/Soul
I've been listening to a lot of Funkadelic music lately, so why not go with them for two Funky Fridays in a row? This is an excellent eight minute funky groove with some good psychedelic soul to go along with it.

7000. Love - 7 and 7 Is

-
Image
From: Da Capo ; Year: 1966; Genre: Hard Rock/Proto-Punk Kind of weird, but it slipped my mind that today would be my 7000th song chosen on my song-a-day blog. I mean I knew it was close and was present in my thoughts, but to be honest, I had some new music on my mind that I've been hyper-focused on over the last little bit, so that most likely has something to do with it. Okay, anyway, I quickly came up with this often-covered classic with a more or less apt title. Not that this track is an afterthought by any means, which it is obviously not. In fact, I had to check to see if I already had chosen it, and luckily I had not. There's a lot of different musical ideas present; a lot of teenage angst and energy combined with the wet surf guitar and unique, slightly distorted bass. I suppose at the time it was recorded Love sounded unlike really anything else, so it is not surprising that so many were evidentially influenced by it and recorded their own versions over the decades sinc...

7001. Opeth - §1 (Section 1)

-
Image
From: The Last Will and Testament ; Year: 2024; Genre: Progressive Metal Discovered this concept album the other day and was immediately intrigued of the idea they had for it. That of an overreaching story not just about the reading of a dying man's will, but the spilling of secrets held by not just the soon-to-be-dead patriarch, but the secrets that everyone in this seemingly upstanding family with a polished, gilded appearance, however, in reality they are anything but. As with a will, Opeth split the record out in sections, "§," seven in total and a final track to tie it all up. I have to say, it is an excellent, unique idea; totally love it!   Hear §1 (Section 1) on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Rush - Half the World     My song pick 2 years ago today: The Innocent Bystanders - Winston     My song pick 3 years ago today: Van Halen - Eruption/You Really Got Me   My song pick 4 years ago today: Fear Factory featurin...

7004. Miami Sound Machine - Falling In Love (Uh-Oh)

-
Image
From: Primitive Love ; Year: 1985; Genre: Latin Rock/Pop One of the artists from my childhood that I listen to from time to time is Gloria Estefan and her original band Miami Sound Machine, but for one reason or another I have not really posted a lot of their music on here.... Anyway, this is without a doubt the song that I think of when the band's name is mentioned. My Mother and sisters purchased it as a 45rpm single from an old music store in a mall called Music Express. Can still see it in my mind's eye even though it has been gone for nigh 40 years, give or take. Falling In Love (Uh-Oh) and the b-side, Primitive Love were subsequently both played a great deal. I will always remember the crystal clear clarity of that record, which was the most endearing quality of it I remember. Very well produced, mixed and mastered, and of course, the band and Gloria Estefan's vocals were simply astounding.   Hear Falling In Love (Uh-Oh) on YouTube.         My song pick...

From: Congratulations I'm Sorry ; Year: 1996; Genre: Alternative Rock Such a great example of mid 1990s power pop; just one of those songs that always makes me happy and sing along when it gets played within my earshot.    Hear Follow You Down on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Midnight Oil - Sometimes     My song pick 2 years ago today: Ian Anderson - Per Errationes Ad Astra (2024)     My song pick 3 years ago today: Funkadelic - Field Maneuvers   My song pick 4 years ago today: Dick Dale and his Del-Tones - The Victor   My song pick 5 years ago today: Jethro Tull - Shoshana Sleeping   My song pick 6 years ago today: Rammstein - Deutschland   My song pick 7 years ago today: Boston - Sail Away   My song pick 8 years ago today: The Coasters - Searchin' My song pick 9 years ago today: Wooten, Chambers, Franceschini - Funky D My song pick 10 years ago today: Elton John - Funeral for a Friend/Lo...

7002. Counting Crows - Murder of One

-
Image
From: August and Everything After ; Year: 1993; Genre: Alternative Rock Perhaps I am getting way too old for my own good, (but I don't really feel like it), but a great deal of the early 1990's music just seemed to be the whole package. Great music that is both interesting and danceable with a great beat as well as deep, thought-provoking lyrics. Again, maybe it is just me and my outdated opinion, but albums such as August and Everything After were definitely special.   Hear Murder of One on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Marillion - After Me     My song pick 2 years ago today: Band of Horses - Detlef Schrempf     My song pick 3 years ago today: Keith - 98.6   My song pick 4 years ago today: Dick Dale and his Del-Tones - Taco Wagon   My song pick 5 years ago today: Hot Butter - Slag Solution   My song pick 6 years ago today: Midnight Oil - Shakers and Movers   My song pick 7 years ago today: Jethro Tull...

7005. Gordon Lightfoot - Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

-
Image
From: Summertime Dream ; Year: 1976; Genre: Folk Rock So weird, I had Gordon Lightfoot on my mind; this song in particular. Two days ago was also the 51st anniversary of the fabled shipwreck that was the inspiration of Gordon Lightfoot's composition and put both the song and the tragedy in legend. Ever since I was really young I've been mesmerized by this song, which instantly catches my attention and sends a chill up my spine for some reason. He really shows off his amazing songwriting skills to accurately retell the events like you would hear from a minstrel in the corner of an inn telling tales and news from the outside. Of course, his masterful vocals and music from him and the band blend absolutely perfect, especially that lead and pedal steel guitars.   Hear Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Red House     My song pick 2 years ago today: The Thermals - St. Rosa and the...
