Late 60’s I was into The Young Rascals (later, just The Rascals) as they released a succession of singles that caught my attention – they weren’t necessarily hits, although “Groovin’” was a monster – but I enjoyed the philosophical lyrics allied to the sophisticated production elements…
The Fever 333’s Made an America owes a mighty debt to epoch-making Nineties LA alternative rock act Rage Against the Machine, delivering music with a purpose, bringing the vicious vitality of Killing in the Name up to date for the Trump era with a song that reminds all Americans that their nation was founded on the backs of black slaves.
Una imperturbable caja de ritmos sobrevuela una fiesta adolescente en la cual la oscuridad, es la dama que tiene las mejores piernas. La que mejor delínea con la cadera la cadencia que no deja de repetirse, la que se escapa y se deja volver a atrapar como una luciérnaga mareada por su propia luz…
Make the most of life ’cause you never know
What’s around the corner, everything could go
A fear, a fear of the unknown
Don’t look behind, don’t think ahead
You never know when it could be said
One day, everything could go away…
It’s been over a month since I left India — the longest that I have been away from my country all my life. In my previous trips abroad, ‘home’ was not really very far away. The short vacation would be over and I’d be back to my old life. However, knowing that I will be away for the rest of the year has different connotations…
September has arrived, and with it comes a brand new featured track – this month is all about ‘Evil Twist’ from Belgian duo TYCKO!
It takes a true Save the World! track to make the top spot on my list, and I think it’s safe to say that Evil Twist is just that…
Admittedly one of the best Turkish songwriters, Bülent Ortaçgil is the life jacket for the intellectual music listener. Over the years, getting more and more upset at being thought of as making peaceful songs, he combined his acoustic creations with his deeply thought, multi-layered critical lyrics and recorded with some of the best musicians in the country…
Carry Your Kin by The Breath appeared on the album of the same name in 2016. I have chosen the acoustic version, featured on the Carry Your Kin Acoustic EP. Ríoghnach Connolly sings with an old world patience, accompanied by Stuart McCallum on guitar. This is clean, crisp and very special…
I feel like I’ve almost most come full circle with my track selection on a Million Miles.
While not every track has had country or roots’y bones – I found myself transcending through sub-genres, the odd classic and cover – for familiarity – but this week was an easy choice being a favourite…
Music to apologize to – that’s what I’m calling this piece – The Ocean is the eponymous track from Jackson Love’s 5 track EP release this year – it’s bloody great music to write to – especially if you’re saying sorry…
If you happen to be female – between 35 and 55 – love classic pop and remember 80’s bands like Aha, Mr. Mister and enjoy a good jangly guitar – then you should definitely check this out 😉
We jellyfish were made for eating little fishes. That’s what we dream about. Though we aren’t really capable of dreaming or spiritual experience in the sense that you might understand, we do have desires…
