Starting Friday on Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice will be the start of some themed-days. I really don't know how well this will work though, because I'm not completely comfortable with surrendering myself to routine. I will try though! Anyways, here's a schedule.
Mondays - All Cover Posts
Tuesdays - 60's,70's,80's
Wednesdays - Basically, random music
Thursdays - Blues + Band of the week
Fridays - All Instrumentals
Saturdays - B-Sides + Rarities
Sundays - Basically, random music once again
That's a format that I'll try to follow, but if I get the urge to post something that completely defies that, I'll most likely just disregard the schedule.
That'll all start tomorrow, and today I'm just going to post the four most-played songs of the day (according to my iTunes)
Singing In The Rain - Gene Kelly
I am terrified by this abnormally uplifting song. Why you ask? Merely because I am a fan of A Clockwork Orange. Anybody who's seen the film will know only too well that this is the song Alex DeLarge sings as he prances around and strips the woman he is about to rape. In front of her husband. Oh, Stanley!
Baby Blue - 13th Floor Elevators
I love Bob Dylan. I don't mean fan kind of love, I'm talking unusually passionate stalker-type of love. I suppose you either love Bob Dylan like this or you hate him, though. Anyway, The 13th Floor Elevators (High Fidelity, anyone?) do a wonderful rendition of this song on their second album Easter Everywhere.
Today's Lesson - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Lonely bass is soon joined by Doors-esque keyboards. Then the Ultra-Awesome (the only way to describe Nick Cave) voice of Nick Cave joins in. Actually, this track sort of reminds me of a Doors song, besides the fact that the Bad Seeds are so much fuller sounding than The Doors. Whatever it sounds like, this is a wonderful song.
"Janie says we're all such a crush of want half-mad with loss
We are violated in our sleep and we weep and we toss and we turn and we burn
We are hypnotised we are cross-eyed we are pimped we are bitched
We are told such monstrous lies
Janie wakes up and she says
We're gonna have a real good time tonight"
- Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds " Today's Lesson"
Age Of Consent - New Order
I like Joy Division, I like New Order slightly less. I have to admit though, this song hits the nail on the head for me. As soon as he strains his voices, I sort of jump in my seat (I must be in a seat for this to be true). It sounds pretty eighties and their is an awesome repetitive riff throughout the song.
Well, enjoy the tracks, remember to keep checking in everyday for new tracks and things you might not care to hear!
By the way, to all the readers who've made it too the third post, thank you very much and I appreciate your support.
