Father’s Day, World Cup, and a Full Moon with Friday the 13th: Paul McCartney, Air Miami, and Walter Egan!!!

Posted on June 11, 2014 by PhilMaq

Paul McCartney recorded a beautiful musical tribute to his father on his “Flowers in the Dirt” album. It’s based on a little cliche that his dad would say before shaking hands when they met. It’s perfect Father’s Day sentiment:

The quest for The World Cup starts tomorrow, June 12. Although there never was an official video for Air Miami’s “World Cup Fever” song, I kinda like this tribute to the 2011 Women’s World Cup:

This Friday is both a full moon plus a Friday the 13th calendar crossing. Oooh! Scary! So, I thought of Walter Egan’s slight monster movie homage, “Full Moon Fire.”:

Phil’s Faves: Songs, May 4, 2014

Posted on June 10, 2014 by PhilMaq

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.
