What I Would Have Played – Can’t Miss Tracks – Week of 5/22/12
As you all probably know by now, I have a series of “essential” tracks and records in my collection. This week, here’s another six…after the jump!
What I Would Have Played – Oh Yeah, THAT Song! (Week of May 8, 2012)
There are a ton of songs through the years that were plenty popular in their day, but seem to disappear from the radio — and my awareness — for whatever reason. This list is dedicated to some of those…right after the jump.
What I Would Have Played – Songs for Rain Delays (Week of 4/24/12)
I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve been to two games already with considerable rain delays, and I’ve gotten to hear my share of cheesy rain delay music. I’ll spotlight some of those songs here, especially since so many of us are getting crappy weather around the nation as of this writing. You won’t hear the obvious “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head”, but there’s still plenty of cheese to go around…after the jump.
What I Would Have Played – Right Song, Right Time (Week of April 3, 2012)
You know the feeling. You’re watching a movie or TV show, and the perfect song comes on to summarize what you’re seeing. It may seem obvious at the time, but you ignore it because of how the music completes what you see.
Let’s take a look at some of those moments of perfection.
What I Would Have Played – Songs from The Office (Week of 3/27/12)
Everyone watches The Office, right? I’m a bit late to the game, but trust me, I’m quite the fan.
So, while you’re thinking of Dwight, Jim, Pam or Michael, enjoy this list of songs from The Office!
What I Would Have Played – The Best of Live From Daryl’s House (Week of March 13, 2012)
The internet has done a number of great things in its (relatively) short life, and a lot of the great achievements have had to do with music. One of those achievements has been Daryl Hall’s Live from Daryl’s House series. Daryl has kept himself in the public eye for the enjoyment of his loyal fans, while introducing us to some of the best artists we may not know about. I hereby offer you six of the best from the LFDH series.
What I Would Have Played – BONUS! – How I Respond To Being Put On Blast
So the other night on the show, McDonald tried to throw me under the bus by saying I listen to Bell Biv DeVoe during the breaks. Not one to step down from a challenge, I felt inspired to do a musical list to respond to being called out. Blame McDonald, everybody, because it’s time for…AN OLD SCHOOL DANCE PARTY, Y’ALL!
What I Would Have Played – Artists You Know, Songs You Don’t (Week of March 6, 2012)
If you’ve followed the show for any period of time, you know that one of my favorite bits is the “artists you know, songs you don’t” song list. I like revisiting older (and/or unappreciated) songs by famous artists, and since I haven’t done one of those in a while, here you go. Enjoy!
What I Would Have Played – Six Reasons Country Doesn’t Suck (week of 2/28/12)
A lot of people think country music sucks, and that’s fair. It, like most other genres of music, has been bogged down by a bunch of “fake hats” and other people who got a career for their looks and not their musical talent. There are, however, some awesome country acts, and it is my task this week to share those with you. Heeeeeere we go…
What I Would Have Played – February 21, 2012 – The Ode to the Soundtrack
Movie soundtracks are seemingly a concept as old as the hills. We all have our favorite films and our reasons for remembering those films, but music plays a huge role in our enjoyment of our favorite movies. There was no better time for soundtracks than the 80s, and today, we pay homage to some of the more essential soundtrack tunes from 1980s films!
