a tune for Tuesday vol 15

The first time I heard this song I was like, WTF? It didn’t even sound like Weezer to me.
The second time I heard it I was caught by the lyric: The future’s so bright I gotta poke my eyes out.
The third time I heard it I was hooked and I’m not really sure why.

A something from their soon to be released The Black Album.
This is Can’t Knock the Hustle.
(the vid is weird, but I love the song)

Please listen resonsibly.

Happy Christmas y’all!

You might not think ‘Billy Idol’ when you think Christmas songs…but this one’s a doozy!
This song is from Devil’s Playground, released in 2005.
Here’s Yellin’ at the Xmas Tree.

a tune for Tuesday vol 11

I absolutely adore Brian Setzer’s Christmas Extravaganza!
You might be asking why is this an extravaganza I love, it just is. It just is.

Dance around a little bit to Boogie Woogie Santa Claus!

a tune for Tuesday vol 10

There aren’t many Christmas songs in which the chorus begins: “Santa, you bitch.”
Dude didn’t get a damn thing from his Christmas list…
I mean WTF, Santa?

Thing 2 introduced this song into my holiday collection.
Here’s The Maine with Santa Stole My Girlfriend.

Please listen responsibly.

a tune for Tuesday vol 9

It’s December and that means I’m playing holiday music 24/7 up in my nest!
So for the next four weeks, Tuesday’s tunes will be holiday themed.

I love exploring different versions of traditional Christmas songs.
Sometimes they’re rocking, or jazzy. Sometimes they’re orchestral or sung by a choir.
Sometimes they’re bluesy as all get out.
Here’s White Christmas from Eric Clapton.

Please listen responsibly.

This song is quite possibly my favorite closing number. And y’all that’s no simple choice!
Here’s You Can’t Stop the Beat from Hairspray (2007)

Please listen responsibly.

a tune for Tuesday vol 7

I was eleven when I bought my first 45. It was Toto’s Africa.
I was forty seven when Weezer remade Africa.
I liked it!

Weezer covered Toto’s Africa.
Asked Weird Al to star in the vid, which is pretty much just a parody of their vid for Undone (The Sweater Song)
Leaves me wondering how far on can cram one’s tongue in one’s cheek.

Please listen responsibly.

a tune for Tuesday vol 6

I’ve liked Bastille since the Bad Blood album in 2013.
And love this Marshmello and Bastille collaboration.

The video wasn’t what I expected when I first heard the lyrics, but it was beautiful!
*warning*
You will cry real tears.

This is Happier.

Please listen responsibly.
