Music Monday – “Oh help me Jesus/Come through this storm/I had to lose her/To do her harm”

Shea and I are now onto “Peaky Blinders” for our latest must-watch TV series (what’s the opposite of binging where you watch one or two episodes a night, slowly, over time?) and part of the appeal is a kick-ass soundtrack… “Down By The Water” – PJ Harvey

Music Monday – “Do you call it as you see it and you’ve always been that way?/Are you reminiscent of how things were back in the day?/Are you agitated with the young’uns always wanting change?/Well here’s your invite to a group of folks like you and me”

“Support Local” takes many forms.  With the lack of live music, why not support a local musician or band by buying their songs (especially a timely one like this one which also has a great video!)   “Pity Party – Blake Berglund

Music Monday – “And if anyone can aid me ‘t is my brother in the army/If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney/And if he’ll go with me, we’ll go rovin’ through Kilkenney/And I’m sure he’ll treat me better than my own a-sporting Jenny”

Freedom To Read Week 2021 – Day Two – Music Monday – “Mama said, she’s my brothers daughter/And I don’t even know who’s my father/I guess she’s my cousin/But she needs some sweet lovin’ anyway” – #ftrw

I posted this song in June 2019 with only a brief reference to the controversy around the song’s contents which evoke incest and rape. But I thought it might be worth revisiting for FTRW, especially in light of the news that came out in August 2020 that the band’s bassist had subsequently been accused of […]

Music Monday – “But I don’t need no friends/As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset/I am in paradise”

Watched “Juliet, Naked” this weekend with Shea (who thought the tale of an obnoxiously nitpicky music obsessive hit a bit too close to home for her!) 😉 Anyhow, this song played a pivotal part of the movie… “Waterloo Sunset” – The Kinks

Music Monday – “Hey little sister/Who’s your superman/Hey little sister/Who’s the one you want?”

I know it’s not 2020 anymore but the most “2020” thing of 2021 (so far) is that it’s a pre-Super Bowl performance by Miley Cyrus and Billy Idol that feels like the first real, tangible proof I’ve seen in nearly a year that we might get back to “normal” once vaccinations are widespread. Someone who […]
