Posted on January 21, 2015 by PhilMaq

Tattoos, Hope, and January: Weird Al Yankovic, Paul McCartney, and The Decemberists!!!

Posted on January 14, 2015 by PhilMaq

I don’t think there’s anything that Weird Al Yankovic [Hall of Fame] can’t do. Here he takes B.o.B.’s song, “Nothin’ on You,” and turns it into a song about a getting too much ink. I really like this trippy, “Another … Continue reading →

Preface for The Hot 100 List of 2014!

Posted on January 11, 2015 by PhilMaq

When I was growing up, the thing that made the holidays tolerable was the year-end lists, usually a list of songs from 80 (CKLW) to 113 (WKNR). I would be riveted to the radio listening to the playback of songs … Continue reading →
