6698. Barenaked Ladies - Who Needs Sleep?

-
https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61PQQ8ScpAS._SX522_.jpg
From: Stunt; Year: 1998; Genre: Alternative Rock
I have always loved this band's light-hearted music that is simply fun to listen to. Who Needs Sleep? is more or less an ole to insomnia, which at one time or another, everyone has suffered through at one time or another; usually when you have to be up early in the morning.

6935-9. Marillion - El Dorado

-
Image
From: Fuck Everyone And Run (F E A R) ; Year: 2016; Genre: Progressive Rock I must be in a solemn or melancholy mood lately; been listening to a lot of heavy downer, but powerful music. I suppose this whole record is more so with the overall current subject matter of how humankind has devolved to the point of seeing an impending global catastrophe, be it economic, humanitarian, etc... and the overall reaction, especially those who have the ability to make a difference, to just greedily acquire all the money and resources whilst charging head-first into the annihilation. Kind of a "the winner is the one who dies with the most" type of thinking. Anyhoo, this is the opening track/mini concept piece that consists of five songs within. Quite a pretty and uplifting suite of music that works in such a way that the listener's attention is kept throughout its entirety.      Watch a full live performance on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Rammste...

6934. The Jeff Beck Group - Morning Dew

-
Image
From: Truth ; Year: 1968; Genre: Hard Rock/Blues Rock This is the second song that I am aware of that was inspired by the late 1950s novel and film On The Beach ; the other being Dancing With Tears In My Eyes by Ultravox. While being the very dark and heavy subject matter of the omnipresent threat of nuclear holocaust experienced by those who lived Post War into the 1990s, it is quite thought-provoking. It was originally written in the early '60s by singer/songwriter Bonnie Dobson and subsequently covered many times since. I really like the overall arrangement and direction on this cover. All of the music is absolutely great as is Rod Stewart's vocals.   Hear Morning Dew on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Carmen - Sailor Song     My song pick 2 years ago today: The Isley Brothers - Hope You Feel Better Love (Part 1+2)     My song pick 3 years ago today: Gary Wright - Dream Weaver   My song pick 4 years ago today: Glass...

6941. Gloryhammer - Battle for Eternity

From: Legends From Beyond the Galactic Terrorvortex ; Year: 2016; Genre: Power Metal There's always something about the utter unabashed "epicness" of the music of Gloryhammer that always gets me in a better mood. Definitely gives me the feeling that I can get up and slay the evil beasties throughout the day.    Hear Battle for Eternity on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: The Cars - Good Times Roll     My song pick 2 years ago today: The Guess Who - Talisman     My song pick 3 years ago today: Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) - Midnight Blue   My song pick 4 years ago today: Isaac Hayes - Theme From Shaft   My song pick 5 years ago today: The Who - 5.15   My song pick 6 years ago today: The Delfonics - Ready or Not Here I Come (Can't Hide From Love) My song pick 7 years ago today: Foghat - Fool for the City My song pick 8 years ago today: Asia - Daylight My song pick 9 years ago today: Steeleye Sp...

6940. Bread - Aubrey

-
Image
From: Guitar Man ; Year: 1972; Genre: Soft Rock Used to listen to this record a lot back when I was in my early teens; still love it quite a bit. It's one of those album oriented rock discs that each track just leads from one to another perfectly as to not break the vibe and flow of the listener. In my opinion Guitar Man was Bread's best record by a country mile; even though they might've had bigger hits elsewhere, the sum of its parts just blows their other studio album away. Anyway, this piece that features strings and acoustic guitar is quite mellow musically on the surface, but the emotion conveyed in the chord choices and melody along with David Gates' vocal performance make it deep and heavy all the same.   Hear Aubrey on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Bryan Adams - Summer of '69     My song pick 2 years ago today: For Squirrels - Plymouth     My song pick 3 years ago today: The Undisputed Truth - Atomic Funk   ...

Open Letter To The Complete Lowlife Idiot(s) Who Filed a Copyright Infringement

-
Today I received notice that a blog post, number 100 to be exact , allegedly infringed upon someone's copyright. I have not been given any other information other than just that. What is odd here is that no one Else's actual "intellectual property" is even on my blog; I am unsure as to what it is referring to because everything in the post was either written by me, therefore my intellectual property, or is linked to another website. I am assuming that they are either mad about my links to the YouTube video with the song, (which belongs to someone Else's Google YouTube account), or perhaps the album artwork, which was hosted by another website. SINCE NO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY NOT BELONGING TO ME EXISTS IN THE POST IN QUESTION OR ON MY BLOGGER ACCOUNT , I fully intend to file a counter-claim. Whatever the case I have decided to temporarily removed the links to the song on YouTube from the post in question. To these idiots with no life: I hope some day you...
