Five For Friday – 1,2,3,4

Friday, May 18, 2012 Posted in Five for Friday

If you are even a little bit musically inclined, you’ll probably know why someone in a band will shout out 1 2 3 4 to start a song.

But over time, it changed in to almost an anthem, a rallying cry.

Or in the case of The Ramones, it may have just been in order to start the song all together, and at the same time.

So, this week, here are the 5 (OK, I cheated, its more like 7 this week) top songs that start with a count-in. You know, like 1,2,3,4!

Oh, and if number 5 isn’t totally obvious…

5) Feist, 1234

4) New Radicals, You Get What You Give

3) Wilson Pickett, Land Of 1000 Dances

2) TIE – The Ramones, Rockaway Beach & The Clash, White Man (In Hammersmith Palais)

1) The Beatles, I Saw Her Standing There & Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)

I Like This – Father John Misty

Wednesday, May 16, 2012 Posted in News

If you like The Fleet Foxes, (and I certainly do), then you should like this.

This is Father John Misty, and there is no coincidence for that comparison. Joshua Tillman, who is Father John Misty, is a former member of The Fleet Foxes.

I hope you enjoy this song, Hollywood Forever Cemetary Sings.

Song Of The Week – Alabama Shakes

Monday, May 14, 2012 Posted in Song of the week

When you listen to their sound, it’s pretty hard to believe that Alabama Shakes have only been around since 2009.

With a mature, bluesy sound, they’ve really taken off in the UK.

And here is something that may surprise you (like it did me).

Their lead vocalist, Brittany Howard, is, well, a girl.

She has a rich, soulful voice, perfect for this style of music.

Take a listen to Hold On.

Guilty Pleasure – Beautiful Liar

Sunday, May 13, 2012 Posted in Guilty Pleasures

If you really want to know why this song is one of my Guilty Pleasures, all you need to do is watch the video.

I will admit, that the call & answer between Shakira Shakira…Beyonce Beyonce is pretty cool.

But that video…MAN! Half the time you can’t tell whether its Shakira or Beyonce. But who cares.

Those are two very, VERY sexy ladies.

Five For Friday – Do You Have 2 Minutes To Spare?

Friday, May 11, 2012 Posted in Five for Friday

Tic Toc Tic Toc…

If you don’t have a lot of time to spare, do I have the list for you.

Like Pink Floyd sing in the appropriately named song (yet too long for this list), Time…

‘The time is gone, the song is over, thought I’d something more to say’.

Maybe I have no time, for Time, but here are the 5 best songs under 2 minutes. And make sure you add a comment and/or song to my list. I know there are a lot of short songs that didn’t make my list.

5) The Beatles, Please Please Me (1:59)

4) The Ramones, Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment (1:45)

BONUS) Tenacious D, Dio (1:44)

3) Nirvana, Been A Son (1:56)

2) The Rheostatics, Record Body Count (1:55)

1) The White Stripes, Fell In Love With A Girl (1:50)

Bonus #2) Pink Floyd, Time (7:15)
Ahhh, screw it! There is ALWAYS time, for Time.
