Dead or Alive – "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" (1985)

2009/09/24


As I recall, G and her best friend played this song a lot years ago. Over and over. There was definitely dancing involved too. Ever since, I immediately think of G when I hear this song, which is surprisingly frequent (the hearing of the song, the thinking of G is frequent w/o the song… he he). Today being G's day, I wanted to pick a song that is happy & fun, and her's in my mind.

David Bowie – "Let's Dance" (1983)

2009/07/04


Woof! I spent a good chunk of today setting up my blip.fm account with ALL the songs I have posted thus far. Now you'll be able to just 'push play' at "http://blip.fm/tsotd" and listen to the songs I've posted. It is basically my online radio station because my posting a song or two a day I am essentially a DJ, in slow motion.

To celebrate completion, "Let's Dance"!!!

Brian Eno – "This" (2005)

2009/06/17


Anyone who has paid even a little attention to music influences, especially in electronic, new wave, and post-punk genres over the past almost 40 years has seen Brian Eno's name A LOT. He is a musician, singer, composer, producer, and musical theorist. He has worked with seemingly countless artists over the years including John Cage, David Bowie, Talking Heads, U2, Coldplay, James, Dido, and Sinéad O'Connor, to name a few. I'm serious. The list is huge.

ALSO "Ambient" music (and all related genres) would possibly not even exist as they do today without him. It was my understanding before reading his wiki page that he is basically the father of ambient music. He is a legend! (I feel like I owe him a favor, a thank you, a fruit basket, …something!)

To top it off, he makes his own music and albums, averaging one about every two years. He has 25 by my count. And that excludes the 5,000,000 collaborative albums he has worked on or produced! (Maybe I should send flowers?)

"This" song impressed me in 2005, though frankly I only have a fraction of the music he himself has made. (Money. I think that's what he really would appreciate. Nah he's probably rolling in it by this point!)

Also, a bit of trivia for you, his full name is "Brian Peter George St. John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno". Crazy huh?
