Once again, I’m playing along with the weekly Song Challenge hosted by Laura at lauravent69. Here are the rules: Copy rules and add to your own post, pinging back to this post. Post music videos for your answers to the musical questions. Tag two people to participate I’m not tagging anyone, but if you happen…
Jim has selected the broad theme of ‘questions’ for Song Lyric Sunday this week, and this was the first thing that came into my head. Deadheads (guilty) often talk about what’s been called ‘the click of affinity’: the moment when you’re listening to the Dead and you suddenly get it. In my case – should…
This is Round 19 of the Weekly Song Challenge hosted by Laura at lauravent69. The great man Fandango reckons that the underlying theme of these three challenges is ‘attitude’ and who am I to argue? Post a video of a song that makes you think about being a teenager. I’ve posted it before and I’ll…
Jim’s theme for Song Lyric Sunday this week comes under the broad umbrella of ‘gambling’. A couple of years ago Helen Vahdati set a similar theme, which I responded to with the Grateful Dead’s ‘Loser’. This is another offering from the Dead – a rather more upbeat one, often deployed as a rousing Set 1…
I’m muscling in on Laura’s Weekly Song Challenge again… Post a video of a song that makes you think about unconditional love Once you’ve made up your mind… Post a video of a song that reminds you of your dad My dad bought me my first drink, took me to my first football match…and introduced…
So, it’s Fathers’ Day this weekend. Bit of a Hallmark Holiday if you ask me (bah, humbug) but celebrating fatherhood works both ways. A cover version of this song was at the top of the UK charts when our lovely daughter was born, which seemed entirely appropriate. And still does. Isn’t she lovely Isn’t she…
I’m playing along again this week with the Weekly Song Challenge hosted by Laura at Lauravent69 Post a video of a song that makes you think of your youth. ‘Stuck In The Middle With You’ by Stealer’s Wheel is forever associated in my head with revising for my final University exams in June 1973. In…
Some discretion is called for in dealing with Jim’s prompt for this week’s Song Lyric Sunday. My family reads this blog, after all. Ah well. Anyway, we should be on fairly safe ground with this offering, from the endearingly bonkers Iggy Pop. Here comes Johnny Yen again With the liquor and drugs And a flesh…
I thought I might start to play along with the Weekly Song Challenge hosted by Laura at lauravent69. The rules are as follows: Copy rules and add to your own post, pinging back to this post. Post music videos for your answers to the musical questions. Tag two people to participate I’m skipping Rule Three,…
Jim’s theme for Song Lyric Sunday this week could be broadly classified as ‘thoroughfares’ (streets, avenues, etc). Plenty of songs to choose from, then. I’ve gone for just your basic road, however, mainly because it gives me the opportunity to post another number from The Doors’ performance at the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970.…
