I don't blog about Classical Music because, frankly, I just don't know that much about it.

With many other genres of music, I am fairly confident of my ability to judge "cool" from "uncool."

In fact, those simple classifications alone makes this blog less accommodating to Classical Music and it's followers, who would probably look down on such low culture monikers with a somewhat high brow disdain.

I cannot, however, know if a specific piece of Classical Music (or Baroque Music, or any other classification of non-pop music) would be "cool" or not. I just know what I like. And what I love.

This piece, for instance, effects me in ways absolutely no popular music could ever do.

There is an important place for Classical Music in anyone's music library. Music is a language, and if you are only listening to one voice, then you are missing out of a world of sound and wonder.

Enjoy.

I've gotten several requests for more blues.

Suits me.

I'm a king bee, baby, I'll give you your honey

Tuesday, October 11, 2011: Mary Chapin Carpenter - I Was a Bird

There are songs that just give you chills, goosebumps up and down your skin.

This is one of those.

Yes, I've blogged Mary Chapin Carpenter before, but she is one of those artists who I just can't get enough of.

Besides, It's my blog, and I've been doing CSOTD for well over a year now, so I think I'm entitled to repeat myself occasionally.

Monday, October 10, 2011: English Beat - Save It For Later

Sooner or later
Your legs give way, you hit the ground
Save it for later
Don't run away and let me down
Sooner or later
You hit the deck, you get found out
Save it for later
Don't run away and let me down
You let me down

Oh, Monday - you always let me down

But let's save that for later

Sunday, October 9, 2011

No blogging on a Sunday.

See you Monday!

Saturday, October 8, 2011: The Cure - Pictures Of You (Live)

Here is a PERFECT Saturday morning song.

It's the full-length soundtrack for a lazy, late awakening, making coffee and lying on the couch trying to put off as long as possible those things that you know need doing.

This is your time, and sometimes doing nothing, relaxing and trying to find your center, is the best work you can do.

Here's to you taking your time - before others take it from you.

Let The Cure's dream-like mixture of bliss and regret carry you away this Saturday.

Enjoy.

Friday, October 7, 2011: Nick Lowe - Heart Of The City

It's Friday.

Here's to all you looking for a lover in the Heart Of The City.

Here's to all the boys on the prowl.

Here's 2 minutes of some of the most straight-up rock and roll you're ever bound to hear

Have a good time, y'all
