Yes, I’m listening to Def Leppard to day. It’s been a while. I’m not listening to everything today, just Pyromania and Hysteria. One of those great two-album combinations.
In an effort to fight the somber mood, I’ve declared today “Bing Crosby” day. I’ve got 160 Bing Crosby songs on my iPod and I’m listening to them all throughout the day today.
I finally go around to putting together a 2-disc playlist that I’ve been meaning to put together for some time now. I call it “Opposites Attract” and you can see the tracks for the two discs listed below. Disc 1: Dark Disc 2: Light 1. Boys (The Shirelles) 1. Girls (Death in Vegas) 2. Dead…
My freshly cleaned laundry was delivered a short time ago, so I jumped in the shower to wash away all of the ichiness from my previous clothes. I noticed that the acoustics in the shower are amazing. I did what I consider to be my best-ever acapella version of “Basin Street Blues” and it sounded…
I put together a relaxing pool-side playlist for those days that I don’t feel like doing anything except sitting by one of the pools on the ship, sipping umbrella drinks. For those interested: Beyond the Sea (“La Mer”) — Django Reinhardt Dreamsville — Lora Albright Georgia On My Mind — Ray Charles Summertime — Ella…
I haven’t listened to Def Leppard for a while now and today, what with the energy I’m feeling for the upcoming vacation, I decided to listen to some. So I’m currently blasting the Pyromania and Hysteria albums, and air-drumming in my office when no one is looking.
I got this from jkashlock and didn’t get around to trying it until this afternoon. It is pretty cool, especially how you can control the mood of the music. I really like that. http://musicovery.com/index.php?ct=us strausmouse and Linky Lisa (a.k.a. kruppenheimer) will get a kick out of this, if they haven’t already seen it.
I’ve been meaning to blog about this for months and keep forgetting, but I remembered this morning and so here it is. Every morning, I wake up with a song in my head. I don’t know how it gets there, but there it is. I usually don’t notice it until I’m driving to the train…
I’ve been seeking the perfect theme song for the upcoming summer vacation in Europe. This evening, I have finally settled on one, which seems perfect to me: “Come Sail Away” by Styx. Aside from the sailing motifs, it seems like a great getaway song. I can picture myself listening to the song on my iPod…
I’m getting ready to do a bunch of house cleaning and wanted some new music to listen to while I attend to these chores. So I purchased my second and third Pearl Jam albums today, Vs. and Vitalogy. I figure I’ll listen to all three of the first albums while cleaning house.
I’ve mentioned my autobiography playlist numerous times, and I said yesterday that I’d have more to say about the playlist soon. This post represents the first of a series in which I will give a brief overview of the first 35 years of my life as told through the songs that remind me of events…
Over the weekend, I watched R.E.M.’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which I missed when it originally happened a week ago. Eddie Vedder inducted them and gave a great talk about the band, and then R.E.M. came out, with Bill Berry on drums, and played four songs, which were awesome. It…
