  • Earworm Wednesday: The New York Stones

    I had a friend, who fancied himself the end all be all final word which was handed down from God on everything music, and to that end, the disco/New York Rolling Stones were the worst, according to him. What were the New York Rolling Stones, you ask? He would claim three albums made up this period; Some Girls, Emotional Rescue, and Tattoo You. Sure, he’s say, there were a couple of good songs in there, but on the whole, they sucked.

    I disagreed. In fact, I loved this period for the Stones. “Miss You” is one of my favorite songs of their’s and the reason is Bill Wyman’s disco bass. His playing is iconic, and a little gem of disco bass that just grooves into your head and won’t leave.

  • Earworm Wednesday: This One is for My Wife

    I am not a fan of Garbage, but I have always given them props for the best 90’s grunge band name.

    The hook of this song has always dug into my head as soon as I start to hear it.

    This one is for you, dear wonderful wife.

  • Earworm Wednesday: It’s Johnny’s Birthday

    If you have a John or a Johnny in your life and if today happens to be their birthday, then this song is for them.

    Happy Birthday, John!

  • Earworm Wednesday: I Think I Did This Song Before

    Perhaps I should start keeping of the songs that I post in this feature… but I don’t care that much.

    I speak of Kylie Minogue’s “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head” which I know came out in 2001, but I don’t think I heard it until 2002. I don’t know what it is about the song, but it always lodges into my brain, and just wont let go. When I used to make mix cd’s for friends, or playlists, I would always drop this one on it; kind’a as a palate cleanser because I would put too many rock songs in a row.

    The reason that Kylie might be getting a second go around here is that when I was doing laundry on Monday, this song was playing at the laundromat. Ever since then I… well… you know…

  • Earworm Wednesday: Woke Up with This One Preloaded in My Head

    Am I a fan of Jane’s Addiction? Yes. Do I own a Jane’s Addiction album? No. I will argue that this music fandom paradox can exist, and does exist all the time. But I don’t feel like arguing this morning.

    Not sure why, but when I woke up at 5:30am, this song was in my head. Maybe I’m a kid of the 90’s? Maybe it’s just a good song.

    Anyway… Here you go…
