Another Rock 'n' Roll milestone: The Beach Boys' landmark Pet Sounds album turns 50 this month. The NPR program Sound Opinions had a special report on it today.
Omg, other Chvrches fans! I first heard The Mother We Share in Forza Horizon 2 and it just works so well as a kind of youthful adventure/summer abroad song (heck, a lot of their songs do vibe that really well). Been really into them ever since.
While I don't think they're a good fit for the franchise, nor is this song, I also like the theme they did for Mirror's Edge Catalyst that came out a few weeks ago:
I heard it in a hipster restaurant the other day and I instantly thought "one of you is either a Mirror's Edge or Chvrches fan!"

There's a fine line between not listening and not caring. I like to think that I walk that line every day of my life.
I could add another song, but I feel like Klar's suggestion is still timely. [ahem]
Well, if you insist. Any Zoot Sims I'm playing is probably my favorite thing at that moment. I can't remember if I posted this before, so I'll risk it:

It's been a pretty quiet Thanksgiving evening so it left me pondering what I would consider my top 10 favorite songs of all time. It took some thinking, but I narrowed it down pretty close. Order is pretty interchangeable.
1. Commodify Your Dissent - The Dead Milkmen 2. Little Green Bag - George Baker Selection 3. Mrs. Robinson - Simon and Garfunkel 4. Take Me Home Tonight - Eddie Money 5. Cayucos - Cayucas 6. Fly Me to the Moon - Julie London 7. Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You - Frankie Valli 8. Happy Hour - The Housemartins 9. Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now - The Smiths 10. Story of My Life - Social Distortion
I saw the movie this song was in, The Lost Boys, at the theater *six times.* I may have had a slight vampire obsession. Thankfully it ended before the Twilight movies came out, which, I'm proud to say, I still haven't seen.
Oh look, another song from another *amazing* movie soundtrack (Eddie & the Cruisers) full of good songs, with a (sadly much shorter) saxophone solo!
Just because I referenced it in the Shout Box: (R.I.P. Grant Hart, 1961-2017)
I never actually knew much about Husker Du. Not my style of music even in my college years, but I was familiar with this gem because of Marshall Crenshaw's cover. So there you are. A person's gotta' step out of their comfort zone sometimes.
