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.

When the Morning Comes






This was playing in my head as I went to bed and when I woke up this morning.  My kids love to watch this music video (so do I!) and so we watched it before bed time last night.

This is a very entertaining video.  It was allegedly done in one take.  I have my doubts, but whether or not it's true, it's still fun to watch. 

Many of my friends criticize OK Go for having gimicky music videos and maybe so-so music.  It's true, their music vidoes are some of the most entertaining there are to see.  I bought this album "Of the Blue Colour of the Sky" a few months ago, and have really enjoyed the music.  Watch the video and decide for yourself.  The fact that my kids sing along to the video says to me that the music is catchy.
