  • 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.

    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…

  • Earworm Wednesday: That Other Cowbell Song

    It’s the cowbell. As silly as it is to say that, it’s that cowbell at the beginning. The guitar riff is good too, but the cowbell and those drums.
