Here’s To Good Friends!
Posted by: bigtunelover on: June 24, 2009
Today was a busy day! I commented to a family member this evening that I am not sure I even listened to any music at all today but music has still been on my mind. Tonight I have been thinking about how lucky I am to have great friends in my life and it got [...]
This is not normal: 16 steps to “Plane”
Posted by: bigtunelover on: June 24, 2009
Last night I watched a movie that shall remain nameless for the time being so that I don’t spoil it for anyone. In this movie there was a plane crash. I had a song pop into my head for like a millisecond and then “poof” – gone. It was driving me crazy but I could [...]
Life of Tunes Playlist – Listen Live
Posted by: bigtunelover on: June 23, 2009
I have had a few requests to post the music from Life of Tunes in a player.
Ask and you shall receive! Check out the new Life of Tunes player from Grooveshark in the right frame. I will be adding more songs in the days ahead and will keep it updated with more songs as we go.
Enjoy!
The Unexplainable Audition
Posted by: bigtunelover on: June 22, 2009
I realized a long time ago that I am a sucker for a great pop/rock chorus. A real sucker. When I listen to Warm Me Up by The Audition I catch myself laughing a bit, remembering my head-banging days of the 80’s. As soon as they launch into the guitar solo it’s really etched in [...]
Caution: Rush Alert
Posted by: bigtunelover on: June 19, 2009
There aren’t too many folks who sit on the fence with Rush. Like many hugely successful bands, people either love them or hate them. I have always been on the side that loves them though I have gone through stretches where I have not listened to them much if at all. Today I was moving [...]
Hey, Hey Rosetta!
Posted by: bigtunelover on: June 18, 2009
I first heard Hey Rosetta! about a year ago. I was literally flipping channels probably looking for the hockey game or something and an episode of Flashpoint was just finishing up. This often happens to me when watching a movie or a TV show; I stopped in my tracks and began immediately to seek out [...]
Guitar Slapping August Rush
Posted by: bigtunelover on: June 17, 2009
I felt like a feel good movie last night so I sat down and watched August Rush again. There is this one scene that I actually gives me goose bumps, I am not even sure why. Any way it’s a really cool guitar slapping instrumental which is actually performed by Kaki King but by “August” [...]
Eye Of The Tiger and Sour Lemons
Posted by: bigtunelover on: June 16, 2009
I am still laughing from a musical moment earlier this evening. It was soccer night for my 10 year old and I was just settling in with my Venti lactose free decaf latte with sugar free vanilla from Starbucks. The girls were warming up and getting pumped up for the game when Eye Of The [...]
Kasabian Fire Addiction
Posted by: bigtunelover on: June 15, 2009
Happy Monday! For some reason I woke up this AM with a lot of energy. I’m not sure how to be honest. I was away all weekend and came back last night exhausted. Perhaps a good night’s sleep in your own bed is worth three in a strange one. The point is, somehow this morning [...]
Breeders, Lips and Detachable Penis
Posted by: bigtunelover on: June 12, 2009
The mind works in mysterious ways. Today was a nostalgic music day for me. My recent post on an UNKLE song resulted in a friend of mine recommending The Flaming Lips latest CD to me. The moment I read the words The Flaming Lips my mind was off and running, recalling song after song from [...]
- Berke Brady: You should check out this new artist Joshua Armstrong. He just made his new 10-track album "Starting Over" available as a free download on his websit

- Karen: One of the best sing-a-long songs back in the day, eh? :)
