25. The Ravens-White Christmas There is nothing rare or hard to find about this track. In fact, I am certain this is used in a movie soundtrack or two. But as for versions of White Christmas go, this is perhaps one of my personal favorites, and the one that, to this day, remains the version that I prefer just as much to the original classic. 26. Her Space Holiday-Let It Snow I know I have shared this one on the blog before, as this [...]
It's been way too long since I've posted here, dammit. Since I actually had some ideas and good songs which hadn't been posted yet for this theme, I thought I'd chip in. If I've messed up any of the links, please let me know and I'll fix them right away. Now, let's get on with the mean! Here's a link to the whole bunch of songs, if you want to skip right to the good stuff: linky link . 1. The Offspring: Cool to Hate from Ixnay on [...]
Happy Earth Day inhabitants of the planet! Today is a great time to focus on the big and small ways we can all do our part at home, work, school and in our communities on a daily basis to nurture our planet and conserve our natural resources. Having been born and raised in Oklahoma, Native American culture has always been a big part of my life and a cornerstone of their tribal cultures
Today I'd like to share with you three Christmas songs from non-Christmas records and, as far as I know, these have never been collected on a Christmas compilation (and if they have, I'd like to know because that could be one cool compilation!) First up is a legendary artist that I am excited to see a Christmas song from. Ry Cooder has contributed tremendously to music and his 2007 CD " My Name Is Buddy " features a Christmas track. It's a great album at any time of the year...certainly check it out. [...]
It's human nature to turn inward in times of timeturning. It's reassuring that we do; it bespeaks our still-close relationship with nature, and the planet. In a world long teetering on the verge of disaster, our innate need to constantly reground ourselves in history and ecology gives me more hope than anything at the future and continued existence of the human race. That it happens everywhere, regardless of country or creed, only reinforces my faith in all of us. May your year turn joyfully. May you put to [...]
"Wow", I say. As a lover, yes lover, of Bruce Cockburn 's music, coming across this crystal clear show from 1993 - the year I discovered his music - is a godsend. My very favorite Cockburn tune, "All the Ways I Want You"? Check. Second favorite, "One Day I Walk"? Check. Pissed off activist Bruce? Check ("Stolen Land", "Maybe the Poet", "Rocket Launcher"). Great sense of humor in the between-song banter? Double check. Just a great show. If you're a Cockburn fan and you haven't heard this, prepare for your head to spin. [...]
A trip through a variety of tunes today... To commemorate Paris Hilton's first trip to the slammer, we start off with ... Steve Earle and the V-Roys - In the Jailhouse Now (mp3) - from Songs of Jimmie Rodgers: A Tribute Listen here: One of those songs that is perpetually in my head. "Sunday night and it's half past nine..." [...]
