This video suggestion was sent to me by Facebook Friend, Bill, and it’s a GREAT one! Deep Purple at their campiest on “Vincent Price.” Love it!
Another fun video from Joanie Leeds and The Nightlights that’s on their “Bandwagon” album. It’s quickly becoming my favorite song!
And one last favorite autumn song. This one is a duet from Lindsay Lou & Joshua Rilko–minus the other Flatbellys, but it’s still cool!
A “Q” Bomb will be my term for a music video that I consider to be subpar in music, video, or both. This will be a recurring weekly list that will focus on the worst videos that are currently on TV. I don’t, as a rule, go searching for old music videos, so that’s why it will focus on solely on current or recent videos.
I hate to be so negative about music, but when an artist takes a “bad” song and then brings more attention to it by creating a “bad” video to support it, it will appear on this list. I honestly hope, and it could happen, that this list will be less than 10 items, but I have serious doubts that that possibility will happen. We are, after all, talking about an industry that uses art for huge profits. The companies can’t help themselves.
However, at this point, I will not do a 10 worst music list. I see absolutely no reason to waste time reemphasizing bad music. Once is enough.

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.

I pretty much haven’t found a Yes song I haven’t liked! Here is a really good performance of one of their classics, “Machine Messiah”:
Stretching things out today, musically, is a “classical” composer, Mark Van Overmeire, and The Bulgarian Symphony Orchestra performing on of Mark’s works based on his experiences in Southeast Asia, “Angkor”:
And finally, for Sweetest Day, Little Miss Dynamite herself, Brenda Lee, performing “Sweet Nothin’s” on Dick Clark’s “Saturday Night Beech-Nut Show!” I really dig that giant phone prop!
A composer that I have just became aware of, is also a remarkable flute player! The first video here is a dance troupe interpreting one of Cornell Kinderknecht’s compositions “Helicoid:A Suite for Mankind.” (Hey! Dancing is allowed and absolutely encouraged on the Phil Maq website! 🙂 )
Since you really don’t get to see Cornell perform, here he is doing one of his songs on bansuri flute:
One of the GREATEST songs and albums ever recorded is “Thick As a Brick” by Jethro Tull! Here are two parts of the song as performed way back when…
and fairly recently. The band stills sounds hot!
