Today is the 32nd anniversary of the single release “Arms of Orion” from Prince + Sheena Easton. I love the Batman soundtrack and I love this song. It just has a feel that most ballads don’t have and I am truly disappointed it didn’t do better on the charts. This couple do a great job of it. It should start at the beginning of the song, you can back up and listen to Supermoon if you want. Enjoy!

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

“Orion’s arms are wide enough to hold us both together. Although we’re worlds apart, I’d cross the stars for you. In the heart of a sleepless moon, I’ll be with you forever. This is my destiny ’til my life is through.” – “The Arms of Orion” (Prince)

Today is the 34th anniversary of Bruce Springsteen’s Tunnel of Love album. It’s a pretty good album with some really good songs on it. This has always been a fave and I love when Jerry Chapman does it, but I don’t have him on video doing it, so we go with this guy, he’s pretty good. Enjoy!

“It’s the same thing night on night. Who’s wrong, baby? Who’s right? Another fight and I slam the door on another battle in our dirty little war. When I look at myself I don’t see the man I wanted to be. Somewhere along the line I slipped off track. I’m caught movin’ one step up and two steps back.” – “One Step Up” (Springsteen)

Today is the 40th anniversary of The Police’s Ghost in the Machine album. It has a lot of great tunes, especially the singles. I have always loved this song and this is a unique cover. Enjoy!

That title is a little weird, I know. It won’t make much sense now, but it will over time. It is what it is and what it is will be revealed soon. Until then, today is the 37th anniversary of U2’s The Unforgettable Fire album. And because I don’t pass on playing a Mike Massé version of anything, here ya go…

Today is the 42nd anniversary of Gang of Four’s Entertainment! album. It was ranked at #483 on the RS list that matters and climbed to #273 on the one that doesn’t. It probably deserves the climb, though. Here’s a decent cover from the album. Enjoy!

“Sometimes I’m thinking that I love you but I know it’s only lust. The sins of the flesh are simply sins of lust. Sweat’s running down your neck. Sweat’s running down your back. Heated couplings in the sun. Colder couplings in the night (Never saw your body). Your kiss so sweet. Your sweat so sour.” – “Damaged Goods” (Allen/Burnham/Gill/King)

Today is a big day in Kisstory. In 1978, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley, Peter Criss, and Paul Stanley each released their solo albums as a means to satisfy egos. Within four years Ace and Peter were gone. In 1987, Crazy Nights was released which is possibly the slickest of all KISS albums. It’s a polarizing albums as some people love it or hate it. I am a lover of it. In 1983, KISS released Lick It Up, the first album that actually acknowledged Ace’s departure and the first album the band released without makeup. To commemorate this, they appeared on MTV on Sunday, September 18, 1983. The same day of the album release, which is weird to me because i don’t see albums released on Sundays. But, instead of posting a cover or whatever, I’m going to show the reveal. I hope you enjoy it.

Today is the 30th anniversary of Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II from Guns N Roses. That was a big deal. But a little insulting, too. They said that making a double album would have cost the consumer too much money. Instead, they released two full-sized albums (30 total songs). A double album would have cost probably 1/2 to 3/4 the cost of two full albums. I don’t see that they’re saving us and I feel they knew that. Anywhat! This is the O’Keefe Music Foundation out of Ohio. The OMF is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) music organization that offers FREE music lessons, FREE music camps, FREE recording sessions and FREE music videos to young musicians from around the world! If you’re interested in donating to the OMF follow this link. Again, this is the O’Keefe Music Foundation, they’re doing the lead single from the albums, and while the solo is a bit unimaginative, the group sounds good, Enjoy!

Greeting from back home after a long day yesterday. Today is the 39th anniversary of the last The Who album with John Entwistle on bass, It’s Hard. This was the big hit on the album and besides it being recorded in a big hall or theater, this version is really good. Enjoy!

“The sun shines and people forget. The spray flies as the speedboat glides and people forget, forget they’re hiding. The girls smile and people forget. The snow packs as the skier tracks and people forget, forget they’re hiding. Behind an eminence front. Eminence front, it’s a put on.” – “Eminence Front” (Townshend)

Today is the 48th anniversary of Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get It On. It was known for its sexually charged lyrics, which seems tame in 2021, but in 1973 it was almost scandalous. I picked this, not just because of the song is well done, but I find it cool (pun very much intended) that they are doing this outside at a ski resort. Enjoy!

Today is the 30th anniversary of Pearl Jam’s debut album Ten. Do you know why they named the album Ten? Yes, there are 10 songs on the album, but that’s not why. Before they were Pearl Jam, they went by Mookie Blaylock, named after a former NBA star. I don’t know why they had to or wanted to change it, but they did. Anywhat! Do you know what his number was? Yep, 10. There you have it. These young’ns do an admirable job. Enjoy!
