Welp, we made it to another one! It couldn't have made it any sooner.
I'll apologize for this last week - posts were sporadic at best and stories were lacking (is substance and occurrence). I've just been burnt out. Blah.
Anywho - who cares, it's Friday right!? Let's kick it off right - with some lovely music.
Song one is just shows how wonderful Jack White really is. It's not enough that he formed The White Stripes and is one of the best living guitarists - no - he has to have 1000 side projects going on at once. This just happens to be one of them, The Raconteurs, "Many Shades of Black." Something about it just sounds older - like The Stones or Clapton could have sang it during their prime.
The next song just continues on my recent addiction to folk rock. I'll always think of senior year in college when I hear this - its just one of those songs that was always playing in my house. This is The Felice Brother's "Frankie's Gun."
This last song just feels appropriate. The weather is getting colder (don't worry - it's actually in the 40's here tonight in LA) and the Christmas Tree is up in all its glory in the lobby at work (real might I add, and smellin' mighty fine). It's just time to celebrate a bit early - right? Growing up, this was one of my all time favorite holiday tunes. No it isn't a classic, but I still love it. I swear it was always on Christmas Eve, when the fire was roarin' and everyone was just relaxing before bed. Bruce and the guys just sound like they're having so much damn fun.

Many sides of black - I agree, it is old school. I can imagine John Lennon singing this one as well...
ReplyDeleteFrankie's Gun - I can imagine Dylan singing this one. LOVE IT! I need a copy of it (hint, hint...)...
Brrruuuuuce - this is one of my favorites as well. It makes me sad that Clarence isn't here this Christmas. I was mesmerized by Bruce and Bon Jovi (have to love those NJ guys...) singing at the 12.12.12 concert.
Great choices to end the week, Drew!
ieyu, ilys!
