Song of the Day TBT 10/11/18 Talking Heads – Crosseyed and Painless

This one, from their 1980 album Remain in Light, takes me back to college and my friend Kathy who lived on the second floor of our dorm.  She was the one who broadened my musical frontiers so to speak, and introduced me to Talking Heads, The Clash and so many other bands.  Hell at one point we even drove down to DC for a Laurie Anderson show.  This ones for you Kathy wherever you may be.

Song of the Day 10-07-18 Tim Hecker “Music for Tundra

Tim Hecker is a Canadian electronic musician and sound artist.  To me this song perfectly captures the tension of a Sunday morning, perched between looking forward to the week ahead while considering the week that has just concluded.  Sometimes the minutiae and details from the past week keep intruding on the contemplative state Sunday morning music usually brings.

Song of the Day 9/25/18 Last Great Dreamers – “Primitive Man”

Here’s a great power pop song to get you going on a Tuesday. A little more on the hard edge of power pop but I’ll take it. Last Great Dreamers are an English band that first formed in the 90s, broke up and looks like reformed in 2014.

Thanks to music blogger The Soul of a Clown for highlighting this group recently.
