Salutations™!!

So, here’s the deal. I am traveling today and don’t know when I’ll have any WiFi to create a post, so I’m going to do the “Sounds Like Saturday” for tomorrow, which is August 1. August 1, 1981, MTV premiered and changed music promotion and airplay forever. MTV, in its true form, has gone the way of the dinosaur, with the “M” no longer standing for “music” but “miscellaneous.” But, this was the first song played on the channel and it was fitting and true. Ask Christopher Cross. I love Postmodern Jukebox, too, so this fits. Enjoy!

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!

“I heard you on the wireless back in fifty-two. Lying awake intent at tuning in on you. If I was young it didn’t stop you coming through. They took the credit for your second symphony. Rewritten by machine on new technology. And now I understand the problems you can see. I met your children. What did you tell them? Video killed the radio star…” – “Video Killed the Radio Star” (Downes/Horn/Woolley)

Salutations™!!

I apologize for all the videos but this week has been slammed busy and I’ve not had time to do much as far as writing goes. But, today is the 35th anniversary of Make It Big by Wham! It was the second album by George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley but it was the first to make an impact from them and it really launched Michael as a musical superstar. I never miss an opportunity to play Postmodern Jukebox, so enjoy!

 

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

3B asked me the other day what my favorite song was. I told him that it was “Sledgehammer” from Peter Gabriel. I also love Postmodern Jukebox, so I was glad to find this. I dig it.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!

“You could have a steam train if you’d just lay down your tracks. You could have an aeroplane flying if you bring your blue sky back. All you do is call me, I’ll be anything you need.” – “Sledgehammer” (Gabriel)
