Great Moments in 80s Pop Songs

What makes the perfect 80s song? Oh, so subjective. But I’ve got my opinions.

Let’s start with this one:

Greg Kihn: The Breakup Song.

The Sunday Scoop: What was that song?

Thanks for riding the Fiver! Check below for the details of the songs. REM – “Endgame”  [Audio clip: view full post to listen] One of the filler tunes off Out of Time, it’s like the song with no words, the one that you keep listening to, waiting for the words to start. A sweet interlude…

Why Fiver?

Because it’s the first Friday of the month. And “First Friday Fiver” has a lovely ring to it. For the uninitiated, here is how the fiver works: listen to the tracks below. Put your thoughts on said tracks in the comments below. Ever wanted to be a music critic? Now’s your chance. Have too much…

This or That: Lady Business

Seriously, this week has been all about lady business. From discussions about Helen Gurley Brown to the Bic for Her pen dustup (I was all thinking that surely that can’t be real. I’ll stop now lest I hijack the purpose of this post.), so why not a This or That focusing on lady business? And…

Sunday Scoop: Friday Six Pack Revealed

The Fiver is all gone … all that’s left is the scoop! Yay! Thanks for playing. I do so love a Friday Fiver. Find some songs you never heard before, rediscover some you had forgotten about, learn about musical places you NEVER WANT TO VISIT AGAIN! Yep, that’s what it’s all about. Now, without further…

And then there were five. Plus a bonus track.

I was gonna say it’s 5 plus 1 because “Friday six pack” doesn’t have as nice a ring to it as Friday Fiver .. but who am I kidding? Everyone loves a six pack. Except when those people like airbrush the six pack onto their abs. But the tattoo of the six pack is kind…

He’s baaaacckk……

The Scoop

Thanks for playing! Here are the details of the songs, chosen for their recent addition to my music library and front-of-mind awareness in my head! Hope you found something you like.

The Fiver

“… Are you restless like me?” That’s the refrain that’s been running through my head (FTR, it’s from “Up the Cuts” by Against Me!). I’ve been digging into music willy-nilly over here, trying to fill in some music-shaped hole that I have. Springtime is a stressful time for me, and I deal with stress through…

Big Time Rush with a side of One Direction

We hit the road to Nashville at 4:30 p.m. last Wednesday (after work and school) on the way to see Big Time Rush at Bridgestone Arena. My daughter, Riley, could barely contain her excitement: She bounced and sang the whole two-hour drive. And the night was unbelievable. Amazing. Every adjective that means incredible.
