🔊🔊🔊 Radio Freedom 🔊🔊🔊 That City of Brotherly Love!

Hey everyone it’s late and I should be sleeping but I just wanted to talk about my next tune on Radio Freedom. It’s an old Elton John tune. I actually owned the 45 disc for it. An interesting thing about 45s is they sound better than 33 records. Millennials probably don’t have a clue what… Read More 🔊🔊🔊 Radio Freedom 🔊🔊🔊 That City of Brotherly Love!

The silent guns of love will blast the sky

A very humble fireworks! Just before midnight… 2022 pic.twitter.com/tDo3wizVYN — earthpages.org (@earthpages) January 1, 2022 On New Years Eve I listened to some David Bowie. The song “Cygnet Committee” stood the test of time remarkably well. In fact, while listening I couldn’t help but think that David Bowie was a bit of a seer without… Read More The silent guns of love will blast the sky

Who’s hotter… Doja Cat or Dua Lipa? And what about Adele?

Been pondering this question ever since I heard another Doja Cat single on my FM radio. Doja Cat is innovative. She’s right on. She brings the past into the present. Dua Lipa is far more mysterious and sultry. When you listen to Dua Lipa, you’re getting something almost scary deep that sounds deceptively simple. With… Read More Who’s hotter… Doja Cat or Dua Lipa? And what about Adele?

Bruce Cockburn – People See Through You – YouTube

Here’s a tune that went through my head as I was, funnily enough, brushing my teeth. It’s from the 1980s album World of Wonders which was fairly big when I was a student and also worked the streets (shown in the video) as a spring and summertime City gardener. Development, err, so-called development has altered… Read More Bruce Cockburn – People See Through You – YouTube

Dig the bass! – Post Malone and The Weeknd team up for a new single

Heard this on Stingray Music last night. I love that chunky, squishy bass sound. Probably a very expensive synth or VST. Whenever I try to get that sound with freebies it’s about half as juicy, at best. The Canadian folk-rocker Bruce Cockburn once said that in music, the best players just seem to fall together.… Read More Dig the bass! – Post Malone and The Weeknd team up for a new single

Go Easy On Me – Haven’t felt like this since Rocket Man (update…)

Little update to this… Last night I heard this tune for the first time on my dad’s radio. It didn’t sound nearly as impressive without the video. So unlike Dua Lipa, I like the video version of this better than just the song! *  *  * It’s pretty rare that a song makes my eyes… Read More Go Easy On Me – Haven’t felt like this since Rocket Man (update…)

Dua Lipa – Love Again (Official Music Video) – YouTube | Opinion: I like the radio better!

I have an old-style radio in the kitchen that belonged to my dad. I turn it on when cooking dinner or just for some low ambiance vibes near the dining room. It’s almost always on Virgin Radio, which is Toronto’s top Top 40 pop station. So this song comes on a lot. And it really… Read More Dua Lipa – Love Again (Official Music Video) – YouTube | Opinion: I like the radio better!
