Four Walls @FourWalls (86575) • United States 21 Aug 20

So much for the 40-year-old songs. Tomorrow I start counting down my favorite songs from 1980. Some of those won’t be as big a hit as some of these (not that all of these have been chart-toppers). Here’s yet another song that...

Favorite New Wave Albums #8 - Duty Now for the Future

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (43567) • Denver, Colorado 30 Nov 18

Way back in the 1970's, God said "Let there be punk." And so it was done. The Lord then realized that punk rock was never going to become popular within the mainstream, so He decided to tone it down a little and said "Let there be...

Play it Again, Sam #2b - "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction"

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (43567) • Denver, Colorado 15 Oct 18

I have to admit, this particular episode of Play it Again, Sam is yet another exercise in self indulgence. We are at #2b, the "cover" portion of today's discussion: Devo's cover of The Rolling Stones' "(I Can't Get No)...

Ten Favorite Allen Toussaint Compositions: Working in the Coal Mine (#10)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86575) • United States 30 Jun 18

No, it’s not a re-run of the “coal mining songs” countdown (which I’ll conclude in a few mintues). But that inspired this: I started thinking about the great tunes that Allen Toussaint wrote in his lifetime, and how so many...

Ten Favorite Work Songs: Workin' in a Coal Mine (#9)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86575) • United States 16 Apr 17

What a strange thing to do: start a series about songs that have the word "work" in the title on a weekend! Worse, I'm posting this next song on Sunday night, just as the weekend is ending! What a torturous thing to do! Well,...

The MyLot New Wave Movement - "Jocko ****"

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (43567) • Denver, Colorado 20 May 16

A couple weeks ago, @JohnRoberts started a mini new wave craze here on MyLot. It's since been quiet, new wave-wise, so, I thought I'd toss one out there, and who better than new wave pioneer's Devo. Devo formed in 1973, in Kent...

Kim Kardashian Makes Fun Of Demi Moore

CraftyCorner @CraftyCorner (5600) • United States 28 Feb 12

Personally, I never gave a crap about Kim Kardashian. Yea, she wastes money on 70 day marriages that cost more than low-income people make in their lifetimes. She spends her life shopping and primping. So what. Today though...
