Tickets galore at this week's Gothic Arch challenge. I put together this arch and found myself humming Van Morrison's Moondance: Well, it's a marvelous night for a Moondance With the stars up above in your eyes A fantabulous night to make romance 'Neath the cover of October skies And all the leaves on the trees are falling To the sound of the breezes that blow And I'm trying to please to the calling...
Our last pod ended the Great 48 on a subdued note. Nirvana won handily, but voter turnout was low. Does this mean trouble for “the voice of Generation X” at the next level? We’ll know soon enough. The numbers: #3 Nirvana 56% ; #8 John Mellencamp 32%; Los Lobos 12%. On Monday we’ll launch the third phase of the Tournament of Rock – Legends, as our contest to name the greatest...
With the year drawing to a close musically speaking, Drake runs down two of the most anticipated follow-up releases of 2009. -ed. We’re quickly approaching the point of no return as far as significant releases go, before the tide turns to that of gift-oriented, so we have to savor what morsels are thrown our way. This [...]
The Sunda family and their Orange County Speaker repair business have been making beautiful music together since 1968. The way we listen to music has changed dramatically in the last 15 years -- earbuds instead of headphones, digital tracks instead of cuts on vinyl. But the basic design of an audio speaker, says Eric Sunda of Orange County Speaker, is the same as it was a century ago.
Star Tribune (Minneapolis) (MCT) -- Bruce Springsteen is doing it. So are Van Morrison, the Pixies and Steely Dan. Playing a classic album in its entirety in concert — along with random favorites, of course. On tour this year, Steely Dan is rotating the three biggest albums from its 1970s warped jazz-rock heyday: "Royal Scam," "Aja" and "Gaucho." To get Rock and...
When it comes to romantic music, it’s hard to beat Michael Buble’s soulful sound. He has a way of taking classic songs and making them his own by putting his own little spin on them. His popularity is evident by the fact that his latest CD release “Crazy Love” debuted at the #1 position on [...]
Last week you sent us your favourite lunar tunes. Now we want songs with pep in their step ... What to do about classical music? That's the question that's been rattling around my noggin'. I don't mean "do about" in the sense of "take care". I have no plans to liquidate Gustavo Dudamel, not any that are viable anyway. I mean more "do about" in the sense of "include...
i love just about everything van morrison. yep. and having said that, the man has written hundreds of songs- lyrics, music, etc., and plays instruments and performs and whatnot. i have to say that 'beautiful vision' is pretty vanilla. i have much of his early stuff and a bit of the most recent- and if this is a harbinger of the middle- sigh. usually, there are great lyrics and great music- or at the...
It's hard to find a Van Morrison tune that allows embedding, but I really like this guy's cover. I like that he's just playing some music out in the street. In any case, it's a good day. I applied for one job. Papers sit on the couch ungraded. I have to grade some this evening. I have another job I hope to apply for in the next day or so. The SECRET instructs us towards Gratitude. I am grateful for...
There's a stranger And he's standing at your door. Might be your best friend, Might be your brother, You may never know. Van Morrison, "Irish Heartbeat"
Growing up as a teenager from 1994-2001, I felt jipped with the music of my generation. Rap and Hip Hop were the prominent genres, Grunge and Alt Rock were the main rock scenes, and all music I couldn’t relate to. I spent my musical upbringing in my father’s records: The Beatles, The Stones, Zeppelin, Van [...]
From his web site Born in Colchester, England, -“When I was nine, my parents moved into this caravan in Thorrington, outside Colchester. It was this poxy little caravan, old and knackered, with me and my brother stuck in one half of it and Mum and Dad sleeping in the living room. We had a radio and there wasn’t much interesting on that, and my grandmother gave us an old gramophone and a...
