The Pogues are an Irish rock band playing a mix of traditional Irish music heavily influenced by punk music with strong political leanings. The group mixed modern instruments such as the electric guitar with [...]Crowded House – Chocolate Cake
Here’s the song of the week from my iPod. Beth and I heard this group on the radio and it reminded me how much I like them. In fact, I have three of their songs on my iPod. It was hard to pick which one to make the song of the week.
Crowded [...]Radiohead – Street Spirit (Fade Out)

Here’s the song of the week from my iPod. As I mentioned last week, I would be putting up Mikey’s number one favorite song and here it is…
The Decemberists already had a song of the week so I don’t need to go into detail about them. Instead we will discuss this week’s song [...]Green Day – Holiday

It’s Friday and time for a song of the week from my iPod. This is a special entry to say goodbye to a special punk rocker…

It’s Friday and time for a song of the week from my iPod. This is another of the groups that Beth put on my iPod. This is also the 1,000th entry in my blog!

Today is Dee Dee Ramone’s birthday. If he hadn’t died of a heroin overdose in 2002, he would be 58 years old. Dee Dee played the bass and was the Ramone who wrote most of the group’s well known songs. Joey did most of the singing because Dee Dee couldn’t play bass [...]
