It's Friday, so time for another edition of Friday on My Mind, which presents you with different musical subjects to ponder each week. These posts are a joint effort between KEXP and King 5 News. This week, in honor of Seattle's snowy winter weather, we're focusing on Best Winter Songs. Simon & Garfunkel "Hazy Shade of Winter" Written by Paul Simon, "Hazy Shade of Winter" was recorded and released as a single in 1966, but then later included on the 1968 album Bookends [...]

The holiday season is upon us (also basketball season, finally). But mostly, it's the season of ugly sweaters, drunk uncles, and, if you're a teenager, enough gift cards to paper your walls because nobody knows what to get you. We here at The Wild Honey Pie are better at Christmas shopping than your great Aunt Mildred, though. We put together a holiday playlist full of classics and indie favorites that will keep your earbuds warm when the weather outside starts to get frightful. There's no better soundtrack to accompany the decking of halls, the nogging of eggs, [...]
As Cooper's second birthday looms, he's finally aged to the point where he has developed some bona fide opinions about music—or at least latched onto a few favorite songs. Being that this is a household that emphasizes songs the whole family can enjoy (while not wholly outlawing outright kids' music), the majority of the songs on this list are simply oldies for young'uns . These are the songs (especially of late) that Coop asks for by name, and/or can "sing" on request. The Beach Boys: Barbara Ann The [...]
Oh such a lovely number. "For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her" can be found on the album Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme .

Perfectly timed for all your Sunday afternoon raging, here's part 3 of this lovely 4 part series! Hope you continue to enjoy. Frank Sinatra: You Make Me Feel So Young (1974/04/17 Live At The White House, Washington, DC) [Yes, as in THE White House. And, just in case you don't have your presidential chronology quite up to speed, that would be Nixon's White House. The recording of this show actually features a nice little introduction from Tricky Dick himself.] Simon & Garfunkel: Late [...]

Every fall for the last 20+ years, legendary singer-songwriter Neil Young has assembled an all-star roster of musicians for a charity concert to benefit the Bridge School – a school which assists children with severe physical impairments and complex communication needs. Due out on October 24th, The Bridge School Concerts 25th Anniversary Edition, available on three-DVDs or two-CDs, contains highlights from the past 24 years worth of Bridge School benefits including Bruce Springsteen's Born In The USA, Rebel Yell by Billy Idol and Simon [...]

Today I'm proud to bring you the inaugural post for TBT's newest weekly segment I like to call " Throwback Thursdays ." Based on the positive feedback I received from my first attempt at an compilation like this ( Throwback Sunday ), Nab and I decided that bringing you a weekly dosage of classic tunes would add an interesting twist to the site. In an attempt to ensure the timelessness of tracks that don't really need our help at all, we'll do our best at selecting songs that will add a nice twist to [...]
Bookmark this one for Autumn; Ghost Capital's vinyl rip of The Parvarim's 1972 album of Simon & Garfunkel covers sung entirely in Hebrew. Their take on "Scarborough Fair" somehow manages to inhabit a feel even more forlorn than the original.

To me, Simon & Garfunkel is always that old friend you haven't seen in awhile, but when you happen to run into them, you wonder why you don't make the effort more often. It would take more than a few hands to count the hits by this angellic duo that would be perfect for a Sunday morning. But, on this particular Sunday, it's "The Only Living Boy in New York"- a song that seems to equally appreciate a sense of rest and the idea of waking up to a new week. Good Sundays to you all. [...]

Filed under: News , Pop Culture , Holy Hell As NASA (the actual National Air and Space Administration, not the band) tragically prepares to dismantle the Space Shuttle Program, they still have a few missions left to complete. Since the Apollo days, Ground Control has entertained Major Tom (and all the astronauts) by playing them music as a wake-up call. Some music may sound better in space than others, but NASA often went with songs that were topical to the day's agenda. For example, Simon & Garfunkel 's 'Homeward Bound' might play [...]
Filed under: The Hit List 15. The Beatles, 'Twist and Shout' ('Ferris Bueller's Day Off,' 1986) On his ninth sick day of the school year, Ferris Bueller takes over a float during Chicago's Von Steuben Day parade (even though the real event actually takes place in September). His spontaneous lip-synch of the Beatles ' cover of ' Twist & Shout ' inspires an entire city to cut a rug. We especially love when "Team Thriller" turns it out! -- JP [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News Earlier this year, Simon & Garfunkel surprised music fans everywhere when they announced what appeared to be a one-off headlining slot at the world-renowned Jazz & Heritage Festival in New Orleans on April 24. More recently, the pair dazzled an audience of seasoned rock fans at the 25th Anniversary Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Concert in New York. But the best new development for fans of the iconic duo came on Monday when they announced an actual North American tour. [...]

Seconda puntata di X Factor , escono, con nostro grandissimo dispiacere gli Horrible Porno Stuntmen. Resta dentro il duo per caso con annesso cantante da squalifica ( Daniele Vit, il perchè sia da squalifica ve lo spieghiamo fra qualche ora, tornate a metà pomeriggio sul blog.... ) A&K. Abbiamo sentito Andrea dire: "Io gli voglio bene a Daniele" a fine esecuzione, per fugare i rumors che li vogliono non proprio affiatatissimi. Le Yavanna rischiano l'eliminazione per un pezzo molto sofisticato. Nel complesso il livello sta crescendo, anche se per adesso Chiara Ranieri è [...]
Simon and Garfunkel - "The Only Living Boy in New York" When most people think of Simon and Garfunkel and music soundtracks it is easy to pin down their songs on the soundtrack for 1967's the Graduate . But it might be easy to forget their contribution to the indie laden Garden State soundtrack , "The Only Living Boy in New York". The song, written by Paul Simon, is a very transparent message to Art Garfunkle who flew to Mexico to shoot the movie Catch-22, leaving Simon alone [...]

About half a decade too late, I have finally started to learn to drive. It's bloody difficult and I have an instructor with quite a cavalier attitude to other road users. I have, however, been treated to a bounty of brilliant quotes from him - e.g. My instructor on pedestrians: "She will not go anywhere. Except on your windscreen. Ha ha ha", other drivers: "Pretend you will crash into him. Then he will not stop so close to centre line", and my driving down a road on the wrong side, "Um, you know, if you were in Poland, this would [...]
