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 [...]
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 [...]

For me Fools Gold the song is more about our futile pursuit of the things in life that they think are going [...]
No Blame It On The Rain, just No Rain ok?
Posted by: bigtunelover on: May 16, 2009
It’s another rainy day and it got me to thinking about my love-hate relationship with rain. There are days that I absolutely love the rain. Bring it on when I don’t have plans, or when the farmers are in desperate need. Let it pour when I don’t feel like dragging my ass out of bed. [...]
