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 [...]
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 [...]
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” [...]
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 [...]
Once – Pavarotti, Glen and Markéta
Posted by: bigtunelover on: June 11, 2009
It’s all about the two minute mark. That’s just when Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová really get the pipes going. I know what you’re thinking, well some of you anyway, you’re thinking who the hell are Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová? They are the singer/songwriter/actors from the movie “Once”. When Your Minds Made Up is [...]
Fracking Coldplay
Posted by: bigtunelover on: June 8, 2009
What is it with some people and their love or hate of music? I mean, in a way I get it; everyone has their likes and dislikes that’s the way it has always been and that’s the way it will always be. Some people are completely over the top with their “hate” of certain bands. [...]
Get It Out Of My Head! Time To Pretend
Posted by: bigtunelover on: June 7, 2009
I can’t get this freaking song out of my head. Time To Pretend by MGMT is a song that a friend played for me today without much fanfare at the time. I’ve tried to get the electronic popish song out of my head with a plenitude of other songs, group’s, bands, singers and the like. [...]
High Efficiency Rock and Roll – Stuck Between Stations
Posted by: bigtunelover on: June 6, 2009
A good old fashioned Rock and Roll song is the best thing going when you are working around the house. Today there is a list of things as long as my arm that I need to get done and great tunes make the jobs that much easier. The Hold Steady is a band that slides [...]
She Talks To Angels
Posted by: bigtunelover on: June 5, 2009
There is something exciting about new music. Something unheard or unknown but great, brings about an excitement that is rare so I am always on the lookout. Let me go on record right now as saying that some people are so eager to “discover” new music that they discover crap and label it great. I [...]
