8/10/2021- 9/14/2021

First, songs: 8/10/2021 "ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE" by The Scorpions. Standard rock anthem of the 80's. Of course it's bound to get stuck in your head at some point. This is from the 1984 record 'Love at First Sting' 8/17/2021 "WHITE KNUCKLES" by OK Go. These guys are just great. Surprised to have this one stuck in my head but after a thorough listen, man, this is a great song. 8/24/2021 "FULL CIRCLE" by Miley Cyrus. Am I a Miley Cyrus fan? I don't think I am, but she intrigues me. This one is from her first solo album, 'Breakout' from 2008. Surprised to hear this in my head. We bought this album for our oldest daughter back in 2008 when Miley Cyrus was still a little kid. I'm surprised she's still around, and so relevant. Thus, intrigued. Welcome to the blog, Miley. 8/31/2021 "Burning Down the House" by The Talking Heads. It's a classic and you know it. Can you understand what he's saying in the song besides the lyric "burning down the house!?" 9/7/2021 "Waiting on a Song" by Dan Auerbach. Quite unexpected it was playing in my head. Dig it though. This is the title track from Dan Auerbach's 2017 album. Good. 9/14/2021 "A Working Day" by Ben Folds with lyrics by Nick Hornby. Some F-words. A short track, the opening track from Folds' 2010 record LONELY AVENUE. Love this track.

Still Hanging in there in keeping this log- Still hanging on guys

6/15/2021 A surprise one morning from Adele. Proof that the right voice and the right production team make for the perfect earworm. I actually like this song "I'll Be Waiting" from her 2011 album '21' 6/22/2021 A surprise, and debut (on this blog) from Justin Bieber. Proof that the right voice and the right production team make for the perfect earworm. I'm more ho hum on this one, but it's got a catchy melody, obvs.... "Anyone" from the 2021 album 'Justice' which as of today (8/5/2021) as over 330 million streams on Spotify. Incredible. 6/29/2021 This is a little more obscure, from Theresa Andersson, a Swedish singer-songwriter and I dig her 2008 album 'Hummingbird, Go" This is the opening track "Na Na Na" proof that some Na Na Na's and some Swedish flare make for the perfect earworm (Couldn't find the audio recording on YouTube) 7/6/2021 This is from 2019, I found this song on Spotify a few years back. It's stuck with me. I dig. It's "Take My Mind" by Guards, from their 2019 record "Modern Hymns" 7/13/2021 After blogging for nearly a decade, all the while listening frequently to Radiohead, this is only the second song I've featured here by Radiohead. It's a much better song, "15 Step" the opening track to (probably) my favoite Radio album, from 2007 'In Rainbows' 7/20/2021 Here's another little gem of a song that has been buzzing around in my head the last bit. "Wordless Chorus" also an opening track to the 2005 album 'Z' 7/27/2021 This one is from singer-songwriter Mark Mulcahy. I heard him on NPR a few years ago sing this song and it's consistently stayed part of my collection. I dig it. Here's "She Makes the World Turn Backwards" from his 2013 album 'Dear Mark J Mulcahy, I Love You' 8/3/2021 LAST ONE! WE MADE IT! Todd Snider, from his 1996 record, 'East Nashville Skyline' here's "Play a Train Song"

Getting Caught Up on More Posts- maybe I'm getting burnt out, oh well.

4/13/2021 Today's song is just a minute long and comes from a talented singer-songwriter named Liam Lynch. My buddy stuck this song on a playlist he made for me and it stuck in my brain. The song is hilarious. Some swear words..... 4/20/2021 This song is called "Cry Baby" and it's by Roisin Murphy and I'd give it maybe 5 out of 10 but it was stuck in my head so here goes...... 4/27/2021 Let's keep rolling with this neat song which you'll recognize from the neat movie "The Karate Kid" Here's 'Cruel Summer' by Bananarama...... 5/4/2021 Boy are we having fun, let's keep it up! This is "Bad Moon Rising" from those rascals they call Creedence Clearwater Revival! 5/11/2021 Shocker! Ben Folds was playing in my head. Maybe one of my least favorites of his songs, sorry Ben! Here's "Gracie" from his 2005 record Songs For Silverman 5/18/2021 This wacky Italian dood named Jovanotti weasels his way into my head all the time. Good song, I suppose. "Tutto L'Amore che Ho" (all the love I have) from Jovanotti's 2011 record ORA 5/25/2021 "Why We Build The Wall" from Anais Mitchell's pop record which is now a hit broadway musical (i've only heard her version of the music) Lots of relevance to this song these days, kids 6/1/2021 "Some Guys Have all the Luck" Rod Stewart makes his debut on thesongsstuckinmyhead.blogspot.com Oldie but goodie 6/8/2021 Whew we're caught up! Today's song was Phil Collins (sorry not sorry) "Take Me Home" from that one popular album of his from the 80's. (No Jacket Required)

Seeing Other People

2/9/2021 A little Belle and Sebastian to the morning brain never did anyone harm. Let's go back to 1996 to hear this song. Enjoy!

Staying Power

2/2/2021 I skipped last week because it was a duplicate-- a song I already posted about prior. I honestly think that's the first time this has happened. I don't know if that's noteworthy or not, you decide. Today's song comes from Queen. It's the underrated opening track to their 1982 album "Hot Space" The song is called 'Staying Power' written by Freddie Mercury and introduces a new (at the time) sound that Queen had not yet presented. I dig the track. I hope you do too! Hugs Brady

It's a Pose

1/19/2021 Nellie McKay really is pretty fantastic. Today's song is full fledged, no holds barred attack on men. It's ok, we deserve it, mostly. Here's "It's a Pose" from McKay's fantastic 2004 record, "Get Away From Me" Noteworty, I've made a master playlist of all the songs I've ever blogged about. I THINK They're all here.... I hope they are. Here's where you can check it out: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4rZe4yMErlRIYfBqTrsqgB?si=QoUTFDiPQ9mfIrKMQrtMKg Enjoy- Hugs, Brady

Mii Channel Theme

1/12/2021 A little bit of a surprise hearing the Mii Channel Theme Song in my head this day. This is from the main menu on the Nintento Wii, after listening to the song a few times I can see why it weaseled its way into my brain, a pretty clever little ditty of a song. Nintento has always had pretty good music in my opinion. Take a listen: Hugs. Brady

Jesus and Mary

1/5/2021 To shake things up, for 2021 I'm gonna start blogging with the song in my head on Tuesday mornings. I'm adventurous! Martha Wainwright! What is it about her music, it doesn't feel particularly catchy, but her tunes manage to find themselves swimming around in my brain so frequently- It's strange, I really don't listen to her that much, but I will always say I think she's a great singer songwriter. This song is called "Jesus and Mary" and it's from her fantastic 2009 record, "I Know You're Married but I Have Feelings Too" Have a listen: Didja like it? Ok Bye Brady

Memory

12/28/2020 Last post from the worst year ever. "Memory" from Cats found its way into my head today. It's a goodie. I've always enjoyed the music from Cats, although I've never seen it on stage. Some people love it. I heard the movie was wretched. Didn't see it. This is all you get today.

Take it or Leave it

12/22/2020 My Christmas post for 2020! What makes your subconscious more happy than to play THE STROKES? at Chrismastime. This is the final track of The Strokes 2001 album "This is it" Good stuff I guess, but not a Christmas song.

Fastlove, Pt. 1

12/14/2020 This one came out of nowhere and I had to look up where the lyric "got to get up to get down" Turns out it's George Michael, from his 1996 album "Older" here's Fastlove Pt 1. The song is about sex. HEY DON"T BLAME ME MY SUBCONSCIOUS PICKS THE TOONZ HERE YALLS.
