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 [...]
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 [...]
My Escape To “The Park”
Posted by: bigtunelover on: June 10, 2009
Occasionally when I am listening to music I become seriously addicted to a particular song and hit the repeat1 button on my iPod. Ok, let’s be honest it’s often; at least once a week. If you read my Do Your Best To Destroy Me post yesterday then you know I had a not so great [...]
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. [...]

New Music! New Music! New Music!
Know that when I say “new” that I mean new to me of course. I am sure there are many people out there that have been listening to The Boxer Rebellion long before today but for me they are a new discovery a short time ago. I am so excited [...]
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. [...]
Is that a Mohan Veena in your pocket?
Posted by: bigtunelover on: May 27, 2009
Those of you who know me well know that I never shut up about Harry Manx. There are several reasons for that first and foremost being the music. I found Harry’s music during the Wise And Otherwise tour at a folk festival in Ottawa, Canada. It was an amazing day, a warm and breezy summer evening in August [...]
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 [...]
