You'll have notice that there hasn't been a Goin' Old School for a few days, that's 'cos it's going to be a weekly column now. Some weeks there will be loads of vids, some weeks there will be just the one, depends how we're feeling… The Minimal Synth crowd are crazy for Eleven Pond 's 1986 hit 'Watching Trees', they're pretty Italo though A Guy Called Gerald 's 'Voodoo Ray', one of the greatest dance records ever [...]
On the heels of Tim Tebow's most insane, improbable comeback yet , and the subsequent shattering of Twitter records , John Parr has finally heeded the call to re-record his 1985 hit "St. Elmo's Fire" with Tebow-centric lyrical tweaks. Some examples: Down on one knee A prisoner And I'm tryin' to break free The chorus: I can see a new horizon Underneath the blazin' sky I'll be where the eagle's Flyin' higher and higher [...]
Though you're reading this on Quiff Pro 'Fro, for Elliot's sake I shall state explicitly that this post has been solely conceived and composed by myself. It's 'Quiff (No 'Fro)', if you will. For I shall, from the next paragraph forth, be expressing an utmost fondness for the sort of music that I'm sure many 'real' music critics (if such a thing exists) would turn their nose up at. So here's some wiggle room for the 'Fro in case this is just too embarrassing for him to bear. I love the '80s. I frequently wish I'd been alive [...]
A look at the Glee covers from the 'Silly Love Songs' episode, including songs by Paul McCartney and Wings, Michael Jackson, Katy Perry and more.
In keeping with the theme of older but still awesome tunes, today we bring you "Blue" by Montreal's We are Wolves . And it's especially appropriate that this band is from the land up north because the first time I heard this track was this past weekend in Toronto (see yesterday's post for a couple of pics, and there are more on the flickr) with a few awesome friends. One of the great things about my friends is that everyone equally loves music, and between all of us, we have pretty much every genre of music covered. [...]
British guitarist John Parr received his introduction to American listeners in early 1985 when his song Naughty, Naughty , a slice of melodic hard rock, climbed to #22 on the pop charts. It would be one of only two US Top 40 hits for Parr, but the song is probably remembered by far fewer music fans than his other one. That song, St. Elmo's Fire (Man In Motion) , would become a hit during the summer of 1985 and prove to be a far bigger hit for Parr. The song had a built-in audience as it [...]
It's Super Bowl Sunday and have I got a fascinating, strange-but-true tale for you. First, some back story: everyone knows Led Zeppelin's legacy is built on liberally "borrowed" riffs and material from other artists, which has landed them in legal problems on multiple occasions. It's an old story and well covered elsewhere , but that's not what we're here to talk about today. Our interest is focused on Dazed and Confused from Led Zeppelin's 1969 self-titled debut, which you may or not know was based on folk singer Jake [...]
This post is for our very dear friend, Robbie, who at this very moment, is battling with respiratory complications due to chemo. Since we cannot be at your side this week to encourage you along, we would like to inspire you the only other way we know how – through music! While you may not be able to speak to us at this moment, we know you hear what's going on around – so listen up, Robbie – get better – we have more beers to drink before this year is done and we cannot do it without [...]
