Rocky IV Flashback Scene

Soundtrack Saturday - Rocky IV


There are five movies from the 80's that I specifically remember going to the theatre and remember being blown away. In no particular order they are The Goonies, The Karate Kid, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Return of the Jedi, and Rocky IV. I remember heading to the theatre around Christmas time with my dad and brother.(back in '85, wow!) Like Bob from Office Space celebrates Michael Bolton’s entire catalogue I celebrate the entire Rocky catalogue. If I had to pick favorites I'd say 1, 3 and 4. I'm 32 now so I'd say if you're a male between the ages of 28 and 38 this movie still holds a special place in your heart and makes you feel like working out after watching it.

This particular track (as most of you know) is used during one of the famous 80's flashback sequences that fills you in on the previous three Rocky movies.(see above) I don't know about you but I plan on watching this classic sometime over the holiday season. Happy Thanksgiving - Gomez

Sunday Morning Coming Down - The Autumn Defense



"Hello. Is it me you're looking for?"-L.Ritchie


Hey everyone. Sorry for the brief absence but October was quite a busy month for me. I got engaged, started planning the wedding, got our house ready to put on the market, and I had to work on my Halloween costume (see picture below...yes that is a homemade Skeletor costume)


Well i figured this was an appropriate band to play this time of year. As I told you before I got to see these guys live @ The Solid Sound Festival back in August. This particular track is off their newest album that came out earlier this month called Once Around. I've been enjoying it on my way into work the last few weeks. It has a laid back sound with catchy lyrics....perfect for cold, lazy Sunday afternoons. These guys are currently on tour (including some dates opening for Jeff Tweedy) so I highly recommend giving them a shot. Alright I should be back sooner than later. Hope you enjoy the song - Gomez
