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

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 Tattoo” video!:

Paul McCartney [Hall of Fame] finally got around to putting a video together for his “Hope for the Future” single. He looks a little “Obi Wan” in it,but it’s still very cool!

It’s no secret that my favorite January song is “January Hymn” by The Decemberists. Here is Colin Meloy and The Decemberists in a live version!:

Preface for The Hot 100 List of 2014!

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 to see where my favorites landed.

Now I get to do the same thing and that’s why I settled on 100 songs. This list could have easily been larger, but I thought a hundred was a nice round number. Just like the lists I listened to, some artists have multiple entries. That’s what I, as a listener, would expect from a good album. I’m not going to let you know the scientific method that I used to derive my list and, therefore, show how unbiased my list is. As a serious listener, I would find any list like that to be very disappointing. It wouldn’t have any heart. It’s the idiosyncrasies, to me, that makes a list interesting.

My list is biased and I’m proud of that fact. Why not? My thumb was on the scale when I selected the songs to play, so why shouldn’t that show through in my choices? But I put a lot of work into it. I estimate that I listened to, conservatively, approximately 2500 albums this year. Averaging 10 songs per album, that means that I’ve heard in the area of 25,000 songs. I think that’s more than most reviewers even attempt to listen to and is a pretty good sample size.

I estimate that I’ve listened to the songs on this list at least 100 times apiece. I find them to be fascinating and fun and amazing and so many other things. And the song itself is different from the process of making an album. A good song is a gem that needs to get a message across in usually 3 to 4 minutes. Most listeners these days won’t hang around even that long. But a good song is a good song is a good song! I have maintained lists throughout the year that show how I felt about what songs I’ve been listening to. There is a consistency here.

The one thing that I really, really like about this list that’s different from the lists I heard growing up: I like every song on this list!

Pre Show Wake: Joe Cocker, Bobby Keys, Little Jimmy Dickens, and Alberta Adams!!!

A lot of artists have passed away recently, so it only seems fitting to send them off in a big musical wake!

First up is Joe Cocker. The unique British singer got his biggest break when he toured with Leon Russell [Hall of Fame] as part of the Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour (one of the first, that I can remember that actually had a name.) FM radio was inundated with tracks from this album for probably at least a year. As much as I liked The Box Tops’ version of “The Letter,” I was unprepared–and pleasantly surprised, when Joe’s version came out. Please note that the sax solo is performed by the legendary Bobby Keys–who played with everyone from Carly Simon to The Rolling Stones, who also is no longer with us!:

 

 

One of the funniest guys in Country Music over the past 60+ years was Little Jimmy Dickens. He seemed to be loved and appreciated by every performer, but he also had his own musical legacy. Here he is in his prime on “The Bobby Lord Show,” singing his big hit, “May the Bird of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose!:

 

 

 

I was lucky enough to see Alberta Adams the last time she played the “Concert of Colors” in 2010. It’s hard to believe she was 93 at the time. Alberta passed away on Christmas Day. She was always considered to be the Queen of Detroit Blues. Here she is doing a song written for her by Pat Proughty that pretty much summed up her feelings for the city that she spent most of her life. Here’s “Detroit is My Home.”:

Countdown Pre Show Fun: Jillian Rae, Birth of Joy, and Lindsay Lou & The Flatbellys!!!

One of the best vocals on any song this year is on Jillian Rae’s “Helpless” from her “Heartbeat” album. Here, she demonstrates that it wasn’t studio trickery that produced 0n an all out rocker:

“Birth of Joy” put out a phenomenal album called “Prisoner.” This band from The Netherlands turned the volume knob way past “11” on this one–at least to “15,” on Rock & Roll Show!”

 

 

 

Turning to the quieter side of this year’s countdown, Lindsay Lou & the Flatbellys turn in their usual heartfelt performance on May Erlewine’s song, “The River Jordan.” The album is featured on the Michigan band’s EP, “Here Between.” I will never grow tired of them or this song!:

Christmas Eve Fun: Deborah Allen, Jonathan Coulton, and Joe Bonamassa!!!

I always thought Deborah Allen looked pretty cute and hot in this sexy little Christmas song, “Rockin’ Little Christmas!” Still sounds pretty good and the sax solo is still pretty cool!:

“Chiron Beta Prime” by Jonathan Coulton is still a favorite around the Maq household. The video and music still makes me laugh!:

Joe Bonamassa has a new charity Christmas song and video this year, “Lonesome Christmas.” If you download it for free, Joe will contribute on your behalf to his favorite charity. Sounds like a great deal to me!:

Rock and Soul Action: The Honeyrunners, Eric Burdon & The Animals, and…The Beatles!!!

Ok. I like to keep things upbeat and positive, but be forewarned that the next video, may not be what you’re used to seeing here. But it is impressive. Not since “Willie” by Nora Jane Struthers earlier in the year, have I picked such a dramatic video. I’m not quite sure I’ve figured it out, but don’t worry about that. Pay attention to the tight rocking grooves of The Honeyrunners on their song “Under Control!”:

Up next is more rock and soul from a band that were living examples of the term. Eric Burdon & The Animals put out this hypnotic track about the “Godfather” of all rock festivals: “Monterey.”[Greatest Song Ever Recorded] I don’t know that Eric Burdon ever looked better than he does in this video. Excellent video effects from the CBC show “Let’s Go!” Way ahead of its time!:

Another band that was pretty good at the rock and soul thing, (even though we don’t normally think of them that way, but they do have that R&B influence) have been celebrating a year long “observance” of “Beatlemania.” Well, at least, I have! Here’s a clip of The Beatles [Hall of Fame] doing one of my favorite songs at the time, “Tell Me Why.” {Greatest Song Ever Recorded] [Greatest Video] I particularly like the way the camera pans around the band and the viewer ends up pretty much in Ringo Starr’s (Newly elected to the “Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!” Congratulations, Richie!)  drum seat. It’s like you get a chance to play along with John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison! I love that shot! (Sorry for the abrupt ending on the video. It’s the best I could find.)

Phil’s Faves: Albums, December 14, 2014

I’m starting a new list. Over time, my listening habits have changed and at the moment I usually listen to albums completely through. I haven’t done that in years, but it’s actually very rewarding—particularly when the album is good. Every album that will be on this list will fit that category. It may also give some insight as to what I might be playing in the near future on my radio show, “Theme Attic.” Once again, it’s another peak into my listening habits—which is a goal of mine. If you want to know where I’m heading or what I think about some new music, you will find it here.

I’m going to leave this particular intro at the beginning of this list up for awhile because my first few listings will be unfair to some of the albums on my list. Many of the albums on here would have had a pretty good run at the top for a good part of the year, but they are still on my mp3 player because they are far better than almost anything out there. I honestly don’t expect there to be much volatility on this list because these albums are what I have been basing many of the sets on my show.

Once again, there will be no boundaries. I will go wherever my musical muse takes me.

Phil’s Faves: Songs, December 14, 2014

This will be a weekly Top Ten list of what I consider to be the best songs that I listened to the previous week. Most songs will be current, but there are no boundaries. I’ve already stated on this web site that I am obsessed with music. I am constantly hunting it down whether it’s online, on CD, from my personal collection, from a library (Yes, I think the library is a great source of music–especially for music that you aren’t sure about.), TV, or radio. Since most of these sources mostly emphasize new music, the odds are pretty good that most of the songs on this list will be new. But in my search, I don’t use any boundaries for the other sources. I am just looking for good music that I haven’t heard, or happened to forget about. Everyone, including myself, has forgotten way more great music than they can ever remember-even if they are also music fanatics.
Also, there will be no rules concerning songs on this list. A song can show up or drop off a number of times. This will be the most volatile of my lists. It all depends on how much music I am exposed to during the week and what I find interesting. On really obscure stuff, I will try to include the source, if I know it.
