Heatley: The Pieces Don’t Fit Anymore
Posted by: bigtunelover on: July 3, 2009
I know, I know your thinking where the hell has he been. Perhaps that is my overdeveloped ego talking and it is more likely that you didn’t even notice I was missing. Who know that it would be such an adjustment since the last day of school. My daughter finished school last week and what [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
Danger Buds – Brought To You By The Number 7 And The Letter W
Posted by: bigtunelover on: June 4, 2009
A while back I was at a friend’s house and a few of us we were sitting around chatting and having a beer. As is par for the course I was distracted by some music I was hearing and could not stop doing the ole noggin shaker while everything else started to turn Charlie Brownish. [...]
Do This Thing, This Type Of Thing
Posted by: bigtunelover on: May 30, 2009
Today was a unique day for me. For the majority of the day I had no music due to circumstance. As a Life of Tunes keener though, one of the things I do to have some extra fun with music is to ask my friends and family what they would like their ring tone to [...]
Best Karaoke Song of All Time! Sweet Caroline
Posted by: bigtunelover on: May 27, 2009
I know what you’re thinking. Your thinking “how is it possible that a couple of posts back we were talking about the Irish punk tune Drunken Lazy Bastard by The Mahones. Then it was an acoustic album of the Mexican band Maná performing Cuando Los Angeles Lloran. Somehow we also squeaked in a new funky-ish [...]
Joel Plaskett live at the “Charles Bronson Centre For the Arts” – Ottawa
Posted by: bigtunelover on: May 21, 2009
I knew I was in for a fun night when Joel Plaskett came out and greeted the crowd at the self proclaimed “Charles Bronson Centre for the Arts” and proceeded to sarcastically apologize to Mr. or Ms. Bronson should he have offended them. As a first timer to a Joel Plaskett concert I was extremely [...]
Joel Plaskett – Fashionable People
Posted by: bigtunelover on: May 20, 2009
It’s concert day! Seems like forever since I have been to a concert but the universe has conspired to make sure not another day goes by without a hit of the juice that you get from live music. Friends of mine purchased tickets to see Joel Plaskett live tonight but unfortunately one of them cannot [...]
