Totally 80's Friday - REO Speedwagon

Happy Friday everyone. For those of you familiar with my site you know that Fridays are a time to take a trip back in time to my favorite decade...the 80's. Here's a double shot of two prom theme classics.....

Keep On Loving You

Can't Fight This Feeling

Pee Wee battles Francis

Wild Card Wednesday - Parliament

I hope everyone enjoyed/is enjoying the holiday vacation. Unfortunately i had to go back to the salt mines this morning. Oh well next week's another short one. For this weeks post i tried to post something that i haven't put on the blog yet (i still have a few tricks up my sleeve) I figure these guys are about as "Wild" as it gets. I've enjoyed the p-funk experience live a few times and it's always entertaining.(one doesn't see 60 year old men wearing diapers everyday) Turn it up and get funked up!

Merry Christmas!!

When The Night Has Come - Hank WIlliams

I'm rolling out of town for a few days so this will be the last post for awhile. Nobody knows about those long lonely nights more than this man. Merry Christmas everyone.

Please Don't Let Me Love You

When The Night Has Come - Wilco

That's right, it's time for more Wilco.(I just bought tickets for the Charleston show !) This track was featured on an Internet EP that could be downloaded if you bought the A Ghost is Born Album (does that make sense?) This is my favorite track from that EP and it fits in nicely with this weeks "night" theme. Enjoy.

Panthers

When the Night Has Come - Simon & Garfunkel

Whether you're driving down a dark road late at night or just battling a bit of insomnia, some songs just sound better after the sun disappears. Over the next few days I'll share some of the songs I listen to at night that sometimes make me feel like I'm the last person on the planet. Here we go.

Homeward Bound

iPod Shuffle - Eddie Money

Since it's Christmas time I thought all of you out in the Internet world deserved one more iPod Shuffle song. Ready.........praise the lord it's Eddie Money time. I believe I promised a little of the Money man awhile back and I'm not one to go back on my word. Hope everybody enjoyed the quick glimpse into my Mp3 player. till next time........

Two Tickets To Paradise

iPod Shuffle - Ryan Adams

Alright gang, you know the drill by now. Here we go.......ohh it's....Ryan Adams. Sorry guys no Ratt this week. Oh well we still have Metal Monday's! Enjoy the weekend.

Oh My God, Whatever, Etc.

iPod Shuffle - The Beatles

Drum roll please......next up in the shuffle..oh it's The Beatles. Here's a track off my favorite album from this crew.

Here Comes The Sun

iPod Shuffle - Green Day

Alright here we go again. And the winner is....(I fell like a bingo announcer)....Green Day! I think this is the first time these guys have been on Cobra Kai (what an honor). I'm sure most of you are familiar with this one...takes me back to my high school days.

Basket Case

iPod Shuffle - Wilco

Alright guys I'm feeling a bit lazy this week so I'll let my iPod do the work. I'll just hit "shuffle songs" each day and whatever pops up I'll post. That means you could hear Ratt four times this week (if you're lucky) if for some reason i get a duplicate I'll go to the next track. Here we go........first up.... Wilco.

Hate It Here

Soul Music Sunday - Billie Holiday

Let's class this joint up a bit with a little jazz....What a haunting voice, perfect music for a Sunday afternoon.

Easy Living

Good Morning, Heartache

No theme for tonight's post. I was just in the mood for some Whiskeytown. Both songs are off the fantastic Strangers Almanac Album. Have a nice weekend.

Waiting to Derail

Avenues

Wild Card Wednesday - Tom Waits

I watched Rumble Fish last night for the first time in quite awhile. Good flick but I've always been partial to The Outsiders as far as SE Hinton stories go. Anyways Tom waits has cameos in both films but a little bigger role in Rumble Fish. It got me thinking that i hadn't listened to my Tom Waits selections in awhile, so here's two of my favorite tunes from the man. I've posted these before but I think they're worth another listen.

I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You

The Heart of Saturday Night

Both songs Live 8/12/73

Tuesdays With Dylan

Hey gang. Here's a couple live tracks from two different shows that took place in 1965...one acoustic and one electric.

Don't Think Twice, It's All Right (Live-5/6/65)

Like A Rolling Stone (Live-7/25/65)

Unplugged Week - Alice in Chains

Okay this will wrap Unplugged Week. Yeah I know i didn't post too many bands but work's been crazy and I went to Jacksonville to see the ACC Championship. I was never a big fan of these guys during their heyday. I kind of dug "Man in the box" but that was about it. I just recently started listening to their unplugged CD and I'm staring to become a fan. I guess I've just missed out the last 10-15 years....enjoy.
