Hi-Fi Friday: November 11, 2016

Audiophallic,

My turn to pick the theme this month with Blobby, and I finally went with songs about a particular city. It could be any city, but the song should be in some way about that city.

Which sounds really lame now that I have time to sit and think about it. But in for a penny, in for a pound.

And another Friday, another late post.

I’m not sure if 1stWave on SiriusXM has ruined this song for me or not. I will tell you, I never realized this song was actually about chess, and the musical, until I watched the video while posting this. That changed the story a bit for me.

I give you “One Night in Bangkok” by Murray Head.

YHWH help us all.

Until next time...

Audiophallic, ,

My turn to pick the theme this month with Blobby, and I finally went with songs about a particular city. It could be any city, but the song should be in some way about that city.

Which sounds really lame now that I have time to sit and think about it. But in for a penny, in for a pound.

And I almost didn’t make this post on the day, as I’ve been working all day, and didn’t realize it was the new month until Blobby let me know yesterday evening. Such is the craziness.

So, for my first selection, I’m going with a cover, but one of my favorites.

I give you Lavay Smith’s version of the 1947 classic “Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans”, from her 2000 album “Everybody’s Talkin’ ‘Bout Miss Thing!”:

Until next time...

Audiophallic,

Blobby went with title songs for this month’s selection. Or the track selection with the same title as the album. He also opened it up to a lyrical phrase that is the title of the album, while it might not be the title of the song.

And this is the last one for me for this month. So hopefully I’m making it a good one. We could probably do this for an entire year and not run out of selections. Hmm….

I’m not sure if Blobby is going to let this one slide or not, but the album title is in the song title, but not fully the song title.

Confession: I went to see them on this tour. And enjoyed it. And have seen the lead singer perform here in Bentonville twice also. Doing the same songs. And if they’re ever in the area I’d go see them again. Just for the memories.

I always liked the delayed progression of each instrument entering the song at the beginning. And the bass line roll through the song. And the lyrics aren’t terribly horrible. For a hair band song.

I give you Poison’s “(Flesh & Blood) Sacrifice” from the 1990 album “Flesh & Blood”.

Until next time...

Blobby went with title songs for this month’s selection. Or the track selection with the same title as the album. He also opened it up to a lyrical phrase that is the title of the album, while it might not be the title of the song.

Confession: I went to this concert. And owned the CD. And still do, albeit ripped into digital form now. And I’m not afraid to admit it. Someone made a great album, regardless of the fake frontmen. And a few of the songs still shuffle into my playlists from time to time.

Milli Vanilli.

I give you their first U.S. release, which hit number two: 1988’s “Girl You Know It’s True” from the album of the same name that was certified 6x Platinum.

Plus, it’s a great earworm. *evil grin*

Until next time...

Audiophallic,

Two months of a numbers theme is over. It was back to Blobby for theme selection, and he went with title songs. Or the track selection with the same title as the album. He also opened it up to a lyrical phrase that is the title of the album, while it might not be the title of the song.

Of course there would be at least ONE song from one of my favorite bands–INXS–in this month’s theme.

I give you INXS’ “Listen Like Thieves”, from the 1985 album of the same name:

Until next time...
