A Buncha Cool Music Hangin’ Around On the Same Blog Together
First in a series of occasional posts…unless it’s the last in the series.
I find so much cool stuff cruising the ‘nets that I just have to share sometimes.
Old stuff, new stuff, obscure stuff, just stuff that I either really like and/or am intrigued by.
Let me know what you like, hate, etc. And share your faves.

The GOP Needs New Talent
And I’m not talking politics. I’m talking about how Republicans love (and steal) the music of liberal performers.
Senate candidate Chuck DeVore (R-CA) got burned for using for using altered-lyric version of Don Henley’s “The Boys of Summer” and “All She Wants To Do Is Dance” for his campaign’s Web ads. David Byrne is suing Gov. [...]

Pop Friday Music Video: Hollywood, by Marina and the Diamonds
Conservatives hate things that are unpatriotic, except that they also hate our president and want America to fail. This is what happens when your entire political philosophy is purely emotional rather than rational.
i’m obsessed with the mess that’s America
Late Night Music Video: De-Luxe, by Lush
Yes, I discovered this song on Rock Band 2.

Late Night Music Video: Dig For Fire, by The Pixies
They weren’t really fans of making music videos, so they always made sure to put in as little effort as possible. They are, however, the inspiration for nearly every band that followed them.
are you looking for the mother lode? huh? no.
no, my child, this is not my desire.
Late Night Music Video: Various Disgraces, by The Blam
Heard it on an episode of The Office, and my wife immediately purchased it on iTunes. Money well spent, because I’d forgotten about it until this past weekend when I found it on her phone.

Bulo’s Music for the Masses: R. I. P. Bobby Charles
Far too many of these lately. But I do these tributes so that people remember, or perhaps learn for the first time, about the special musical legacies these artists have left behind.
Bobby Charles, actually Robert Charles Guidry, was a Cajun who was first inspired by Fats Domino and who helped to create that wonderful musical [...]
R. I. P. Teddy Pendergrass
The soul singer who first burst onto the scene with Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, and was one of the greatest stars ever to come out of the TSOP Sound of Gamble & Huff, has passed away at the age of 59.
Here’s an interview with Teddy talking about his accident that left him paralyzed [...]

Acclaimed music producer, performer, and musician Willie Mitchell passed away yesterday at the age of 82.

‘Bulo Remembers 2009-The Best in Music Including…His Own List!
NObody does music lists like Largehearted Boy does music lists. If you’ve got a list, he’ll post it. Meaning every shoegazer with a laptop is free to post their choices. So, you’ll likely want to winnow out at least 80% of the stuff on his site. But, trust me, there’s something there for everyone’s tastes, [...]

‘Bulo’s Music For the Masses-Johnny Mercer Edition-Volume 1
The great lyricist Johnny Mercer would have celebrated his 100th birthday this November 18 were he still around. I just saw a great documentary on Turner Classic Movies about him. It’s what inspired me to do this two-part Music for the Masses.
Here are some reasons why you may want to celebrate what the great [...]

‘Bulo’s Music for the Masses-40th Year HS Reunion Edition
Yes, I AM that old, and next week will be our 40th. So, for the next two weeks, I’m gonna highlight some of the (IMHO) best music from 1968-69. While there was still a strong string of 45 RPM single classics, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band from a few years earlier had ushered in the [...]

‘Bulo’s Music for the Masses-Happy 60th to the Boss

‘Bulo’s Music for the Masses-Brill Building Edition
Editor’s Note: El Somnambulo had already prepared this piece last week before he accepted Nemski’s challenge to post his 10 ‘Desert Island’ songs. He did this in memory of Ellie Greenwich, one of the great Brill Building songwriters. As ‘bulo’s return draws near, he wants to share this with you:
While the Brill Building itself was [...]
JMY’s Media For the Masses: Obama School Daze Edition

I mean REALLY LISTEN HARD:
Check It Out For Yourself
If you don’t you may need Adult Education, and that would be bad…..:
Hall & Oates-Adult Education
If all goes well, the children [...]

Every year, ‘XPN does a countdown (from 885 to 1). This year’s countdown theme is Your Top 10 Desert Island songs.
The Beast Who Overthinks Things ultimately chose the 10 songs that he would most enjoy [...]
Pandora’s Music For The Masses
Since I’m filling in for ‘Bulo I decided to give you insight into my eclectic taste in music. Warning: There is nothing cohesive about this grouping!
Gotta start with Elvis
And slide into Gabriel
Now, let’s jump into the future with Green Day. (Tried to post The Killers, but YouTube wouldn’t let me)
And jump back with the Queen [...]
‘Bulo’s Music For the Masses: Jason330 Edition
You reallyreally thought the Beast Who Just Can’t Help Himself would pass up this opportunity? Even though ‘bulo wants Jason back, there are some bridges too far. No, not Jason’s return, but the featuring of Player’s “Baby Come Back, aka the Swifter Mop Song” here. Besides, JMY has already used that one:
Ray Charles: Baby Please [...]
