The Beach Boys: Bluebirds Over The Mountain
As I stated yesterday, there’s probably no better band that brings you the soundtrack to the Summer than The Beach Boys. “Bluebirds Over The Mountain” isn’t the typical Summer or surf-song that you would match with The Beach Boys, though as with pretty much any Beach Boys song, it is full of Mike [...]
The Kinks: Picture Book/ People Take Pictures of Each Other
ou may have noticed the last few songs contained a certain theme. Photography – and there is a reason for this. I’m invited to a party this afternoon – a picnik party, being hosted by my lovely photogenic wife (yeah, I’d better be invited)! I thought I’d have a little fun and [...]

My brother and sister are soon to visit me from England. They want to know if I need anything “English” – which leads into today’s nostalgic song. “The Kinks Are Village Green Preservation Society” is one of my all time favorite albums, the main reason being this track, a cry out for [...]
Iron Butterfly: In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida
Fasten your seatbelts, this one could take a while. At over seventeen minutes in length, you may want to put the kettle on or take a lunch break before you listen to this track in it’s entirety. (As I know you all will!) I decided it’s about time for another creepy Halloween tune, and I [...]
