The Song Stuck In My Head: “TALK TO ME” by KISS (1980)

“…People Tell Me That You Run Around…

…And That You’re No Good…

…You Got A Bad Reputation…

…I Don’t Care What All The People Say…

…You Know They Talk Too Much…

…It’s A Fascination…

…All I Wanna Do Is Talk To You…

…And Maybe Go Out…

…And Form Some Kind Of Relation…”

…

“TALK TO ME” Is Off Of The KISS Album “UNMASKED” Which Was Released In 1980 !!!

…

“…So TALK TO ME…

…TALK TO ME…

…All I Want Is A Little Conversation…

…TALK TO ME…

…TALK TO ME…

…All I Want Is A Little Conversation. …”

The 1980 Single Album For “TALK TO ME” By KISS !!!

… … … …

… …

In 1980…

(*An Amazing Year, By The Way*)

…The Hard-Rock Band…

KISS

…Released Their Eighth Studio Album…

“UNMASKED“

…Which Contained The Song…

“TALK TO ME“

😀

The Album Itself…

…Sadly…

…Was Considered A Bomb, For The Most Part…

…By The Standards The Band Had Set For Itself.

And I’ll Say It Right Now…

…NO…

“TALK TO ME“

…Is NOT A Fantastically Great Song For The Ages…

…Nor Anything Remotely Like That.

It Is…

…However…

…EXCEPTIONALLY CATCHY…

…Nearing The Term INFECTIOUS.

It’s Fun.

It’s Quirky.

It’s More POP ROCK Than HARD ROCK…

…Which Is Surely A Departure For The Band.

They’ve Dabbled In Pop’ish Tunes Before…

…But This One Is VERY Pop’ish.

Pop’ish Pop’ish, Ya Know?!

Sure You Do!!

😉

Regardless Of All This…

“TALK TO ME“

…Is A Song I DO Enjoy…

…And It’s Totally Great For Walking Purposes.

It Has A Good Beat AND Rhythm…

…And I Have A Soft-Spot For The Lyrics.

🙂

Of Whether You Should Spend Time AND Money…

…This Is One Where I’d Say…

…The Whole Album…

“UNMASKED“

???

Eh, If You Wanna.

😐

This Particular Song…

“TALK TO ME“

???

Sure, Why Not.

😀

Enjoy The Rest Of Your Day, My Peeps.

I Think I Feel A Brisk Walk Creeping Up My Spine As We Speak.

And If It’s Not A Brisk Walk…

…I Sincerely Don’t Wanna Know What It Is…

…’Cause If It’s A Spider…

…I’M GONNA FREAK THE “F” OUT!!!

😉

My Morning Mixes: From An “URGENT” Emergency To The Sounds “HIGHER LOVE”!!!

Since I Recently Haven’t Gone For A Nice, Long Walk…

…And Because It’s Damned Comfy Outside, Today…

…I Decided To Hit-The-Road And Be-Bop Around Town A Bit.

So…

…Of Course…

…Some Great Tunage Was Totally Called-For.

What Exactly Did I Jam To, This Morning?!

WELL…

…LET ME TELL YOU!!!

😉

My Walk Began With A Classic Jam Favorite…

“URGENT“

by FOREIGNER

…As I’ve Gotta Kick-Off Every Walk With A Favorite Jam, Ya Know?!

SURE YOU DO!

😉

I Decided To Stick With Classic Favorites, And Played…

“ABRACADABRA“

by The STEVE MILLER BAND

…Which Is A Song That Has Yet To Ever Fail In Bringing A Smile To My Face. Love Me Some STEVE MILER BAND, Fo SHO!

🙂

Since I Was Already In A Good Mood, And Moving Quite Well This Morning…

…I Went With A Little Bit Of…

WARREN ZEVON

…And His Nifty Little Number…

“EXCITABLE BOY“

…Which Is Another Smile Inducing Jam!

😀

Now…

…With The Next Song…

…I’m Likely To Catch A Little Flack.

I Started Jamming To…

“LEAN ON ME“

…But Not The Classic-Version…

…No…

…It’s The Cover Version…

by CLUB NOUVEAU

!!!

(...hahahaha I Know... I'm Lame... My Bad...)

😉

Up Next Was Another Classic-Classic Fave-Fave…

“ONCE BITTEN, TWICE SHY“

by GREAT WHITE

…Which Is Simply One Of The Most Fun Jams I’m Proud To Say I Own!

😀

The Next Song Is Something Special.

A Personal Favorite That Honestly Doesn’t Get The Recognition It Truly Deserves.

I’m Talking About…

“VICTIM OF LOVE“

by ERASURE

!!! !!!

It’s A Song I Truly Love, And It Can Really Get You Motivated While On A Walk-About!

Totally!!

😀

The Song Up Next Is One I Suppose You’d Have To Call A “Guilty Pleasure” Fo Sho…

“SHANDI“

by KISS

…HAHAHAHA!

Yeah.

It IS A Song I Do Greatly Enjoy…

…But It IS A Rather Lame Little Jam, Nevertheless.

Hey, BITE ME!

I Like It.

I Listened To It.

It Gets A Mention.

Leave It At That, My Peeps.

Sheesh.

😉

I Followed Up That One With A Truly Classic Jam…

JOURNEY‘s

“ONLY THE YOUNG“

…Which Is One Of Their Faster Jams, Fo SHO!

It’s A Wonderful Motivational Tune, My Peeps…

…And One I Can Easily Recommend To Y’all If You’re In Serious Need Of Said Motivation.

😉

I Decided To Stark Kicking-It Into A Lower Gear After Hearing Some JOURNEY…

…And I Went With…

“96 TEARS“

by QUESTION-MARK And THE MYSTERIANS

…Which Is A Sweet Little Jam, Fo SHO, And One That’s Easy To Enjoy!

Gotta Love The Organ Being Played Throughout It, Of Course!

🙂

And Then…

…Finally…

…I Was Starting To Come Close To The End Of My Little Stroll…

…So I Went With Some Quality…

DEPECHE MODE

…For My Cool-Down…

…And I Played…

“HIGHER LOVE (LIVE)”

…Which Is One Of My Favorite Jams By DEPECHE MODE…

…Though It’s One Most People Have Never Heard Of, Let Alone Heard.

But Trust Me, My Peeps, It’s A Wonderful Song To Cool-Down With.

FO FLIPPIN’ SHO!!!

😀     😀     😀

And That Is, As They Say, That.

A Loverly Walk-About…

…With Some Wonderful WONDERFUL Tunage To Keep Me Moving!

Now I’m Curious As To What The Rest Of The Day Shall Have In-Store For Me.

Hopefully Something AWESOME…

…Though I Try Not To Get My Hopes-Up, Ya Know Ya Know?!

SURE YOU DO!!!

😀

L8r L8r, My Loving Tater-Tots!!

PEACE!!!

😉

🙂     😀     🙂

A Song To Make ANYONE Smile: “SHOUT IT OUT LOUD” by KISS (1976)

“…If You Don’t Feel Good…

…There’s A Way You Could…

…Don’t Sit There Broken-Hearted…

(…Sit There Broken-Hearted…)

…Call All Your Friends In The Neighborhood…

…And Get The Party Started…

(…Get The Party Started…)

…Don’t Let’em Tell You That There’s Too Much Noise…

…They’re Too Old To Really Understand…

…You’ll Still Get Rowdy With The Girls And Boys…

…‘Cause It’s Time For You To Take A Stand…

…YEAH YEAH…”

…

“SHOUT IT OUT LOUD” Is A Regular Crackerjack Of A Tune From The 1976 Album “DESTROYER” By Rock-Gods KISS !!!

…

“…SHOUT IT…

…SHOUT IT…

…SHOUT IT OUT LOUD…

…SHOUT IT…

…SHOUT IT…

…SHOUT IT OUT LOUD! …”

<<<…….>>>

<<…..>>

<…>

.

I Really Needed To Begin My Day With Something FAST…

…And FUN…

…And LOUD!!!

To Me…

…That Simply Screamed…

“YOU MUST PLAY SOME KISS!!!”

…And So I DID!!!

😀

“SHOUT IT OUT LOUD“

…Is One Of The All-Time Classic-Greats From Rock-Bizz-Titans…

KISS

…And Is One Of MY Personal Favorites!

When It Popped On Me Ole MP3Player…

…I Knew I’d Found My Wake-Up Jam!

😀       😀

Everyone Has To Start Their Day Differently.

Some Folks Just Roll-Out-Of-Bed And Imediately Hit-The-Showers.

Some Folks Require A Double-Shot Espresso…

(...hopefully with a cheese-danish or something tasty like that...)

…From The Local Starbucks.

Some Folks Just Hit-The-Ground-Running And Go For It.

Folks Like Myself, However, Reuqire Something Special To Begin Our Day’s Riggors.

I Didn’t Wanna Make Coffee TOOOO Early…

(...Though I'm Having Some, Now, As We Jive...)

…So I Needed Me Some Quality Jams!

I Popped On My Player And Here We Are!

🙂

Nifty, Eh?!

NIFTY, INDEED!!

😉

I Awoke In A Pretty Damned Decent Mood This Morning.

I’m Feelin’ Better…

…So I’d Like To Try And Get As Much Work Done As Possible.

I’ve Had A Few Ideas I’d Like To Explore…

…And I’d Like To See If I Can’t Come-Up With A Few More.

That’s Life, Eh?!

Go For One Thing…

…That Thing Turns Into Another Thing…

…That Turns Into, Yet, Another Thing.

And On And On And On.

So We’ll See What I Can Do With This “Damned Decent Mood” I’m Sporting.

Y’all Will Still Be Here When I Get Back, Right?!

GREAT!!

Perhaps Some Of You Just Need That Extra Little Jolt To Get Movin’?!

Well, Then…

…May I Suggest To You An Album Like…

“DESTROYER“

?!?

It’s A Regular Jim Dandy, Kiddies, Fo SHO!!

I Have The Feeling That Some Of Y’all Could Really Go For Some Of That…

…Sweet…

KISS

…Action!!

And, If That’s The Case…

“SHOUT IT OUT LOUD“

…May Just Be The Perfect Song To Awaken You From Your Zombifyed Morning State!!

It Worked For Me This Morning…

…So PERHAPS Is Could Work For You, Also!!

Now Wouldn’t THAT Be NICE!!

YOU BETCHA, My Peeps!!

Fo SHO!!

😀       😉       😀

Celebrating My First 100,000… …With KISS And “CHARISMA”

“Is It My Fortune…

…Or My Fame…

…Is It My Money…

…Or My Name…

…Is It My Personality…

…Or Just My Sexuality…

…Yeeeah, Yeeeah…“

… … …

“…What Is My…

…CHARISMA…

…What Is My….

…CHARISMA…

…Yeeeah…“

… … …

“CHARISMA” Is (odd as it may sound to loyal fans) My Favorite Track From The 1979 Hit Album “DYNASTY” By KISS !!!

… … …

“…Is It My Body…

…Or My Brain…

…Do I Drive You Insane…

…HA…

…Is It The Power Of My Touch…

…Do You Need Me Too Much…

…Too Much…

…TOO MUCH…“

… … …

“…What Is My…

…CHARISMA…

…What Is My…

…What Is My…

…What Is My…

…CHARISMA…“

*** *** *** *** *** *** ***

KISS !!!

*** *** *** *** ***

*** *** ***

***

Sooo…

…In Case You Didn’t Gather This From The Headline To This Bloggin’ing…

…I’m Now OFFICIALLY Part Of The…

“100,000-HITS-CLUB“

!!! !!! !!!

That’s Right, My Peeps…

“YOU JIVIN’ ME, TURKEY?“

…Is Now Among The Ranks Of The Established Greats!!!

WOOHOO!!!

I Told Y’all I Wouldn’t Be Doing Anymore Milestone Pieces Until AFTER…

“YOU JIVIN’ ME, TURKEY?“

…Had Officially Made It To 100,000 Hits.

Well…

…The 100,000TH Hit Came Yesterday Evening…

…And I’d Been Wracking My Brain All Night…

…Thinking Thinking Thinking…

…And…

…Tinkering Tinkering Tinkering…

…With All Sorts Of Ideas On How To Celebrate.

By The End Of The Night…

…Yeah…

…I Had Nothing.

Couldn’t Think At All, Anymore.

My Body Was Exhausted…

…But My Brain Was Nearly On Life-Support.

I Just Didn’t Know How I Wanted To Do This Thing.

Sooo…

…I Laid Down And Went To Bed…

…Thinking MAYBE MAYBE MAYBE A Fresh Start In The Morning Would Help Me Figure-Out Exactly What I Wanted To Do.

After I Awoke…

…I Popped-On Some Of My Favorite Tunage…

…And I Began To Think…

…And Think Think Think…

…And Eventually It Came To Me!

I Shouldn’t Do Anything Super Special At All!

I Should Do A Post As I Always Do…

…But Add The Fact I’m Now Batting A 100,000 For The Season.

And So, That’s What I’m Doing.

🙂

“CHARISMA“

by KISS

…Just Felt Right.

It Felt Like The Perfect Song To Go Along With The Spirit Of What I Wanted To Say.

I Don’t Know If It’s My “CHARISMA” That Keeps People Coming Back…

…Or…

…Perhaps…

…They’re Just Curious To See What The Hell I’m Gonna Talk About Next.

For Those Of Y’all Who Have Been With Me Since The Beginning Of This Thing…

…Yeah…

…I’m Sure It’s Been An Oddly Fun’ish Adventure.

There’s No Real Rhyme Or Reason To My Madness…

…This Blog Is Just A Reflection Of The Conflict Within My Twisted Brain.

I Find Staying FOCUSED…

…In ALL Of Its Forms…

…Is Something I Can Rarely Do.

Today I’m Over Here…

…Tomorrow I’m Over There…

…The Next Day I’m On The Friggin’ Moon!

I Would Apologize For That…

…BUT…

…To ME…

…That’s Part Of The Reason Y’all DO Continue Coming Back.

So…

…Thank You, My Peeps.

Thank You For Sticking With This Little Roller-Coaster I Affectionately Call…

“YOU JIVIN’ ME, TURKEY?“

…A True Love Of My Life…

…FO SHO.

🙂

“CHARISMA“

…Is…

…Honestly AND Truly…

…My FAVE FAVE Track On Their 1979 Album…

“DYNASTY“

…Though It’s One Of Their Least Known Jams.

Purest Fans Of…

KISS

…Didn’t Care Much For This Album.

In Fact…

…This Is The Album Where The Term…

“KISSCO“

…Comes From.

Meaning…

…True Fans Of Classic KISS Music Felt The Band Had…

“Sold Out”

…Because The Album Really Does Have An Almost Disco Like Quality And Sound.

No Foolies, Kids.

I Know A Bundle Of KISS Fans Who Simply HATE HATE HATE This Entire Album.

But Then…

…You Have Fans Like Myself…

…Who…

…Honestly AND Sincerely…

…LOVE This Album.

.Period.

BUT…

…Even With Classic Tracks Like…

“I WAS MADE FOR LOVIN’ YOU“

(generally considered "The Best" song on the album)

&

“2,000 MAN“

&

“SURE KNOW SOMETHING“

…My Favorite Has Always Been…

“CHARISMA“

😀

T’Is A Simple Jam, Yes…

…But It’s Still “MY FAVORITE”…

…And I Say That Very Easily.

It’s BOTH A Great Walkin’ Jam AND A Great Driving Jam.

So It’s One I Think Y’all Should Check-Out If You Ever Get The Chance.

It’s All About FUN, My Peeps.

FUN Is The Name Of The Game, Ya Know?!

SURE YOU DO!!

😀

Anyway, My Peeps.

I Once Again Want To Say THANK YOU For Continuing To Check-Out…

“YOU JIVIN’ ME, TURKEY?“

…And I Sincerely CANNOT WAIT To Get Going On My Next 100,000!!!

As A Matter Of Fact…

…I’m Already Into The Next 100,000.

SO PLEASE…

…Please Please Please…

…Keep On Comin’ Back, Y’all!!!

I May Not Be “THE BEST” At All Of This…

…But I DO Have THE MOST FUN!!!

I Just Hope I Can Keep’er Chuggin’ Along.

And I Honestly Think I Will!!!

With All Of Your Help And Support…

…I KNOW I WILL!!!

😉

😀

My Morning Mixes: Friday, Sweet Friday!

Good Morning, My Peeps.

🙂

Hope You’re All Swell.

Me?

Can’t Complain, I Suppose.

Still Got A Bad Headache.

That Part Ain’t So Good.

Nor Is The Muscle Strain On My Right Side.

Otherwise?

Well…

…Otherwise I’m Pretty Hunky-Groovy’ish.

I’m Sure The Headache Is Because Of The Freakin’ Weather.

T’Is Rainy And Humid.

The Air Feels Thick Enough To Cut With A Knife.

No Foolin’, Kiddies.

No Foolin’, Indeed.

HOWEVER…

…Regardless Of Said Headache…

…Or Of Said Muscle Strain…

…Or Of Said Weather…

…I Still Decided To Head-Out On A Walk-About.

I Hadn’t Gone Out-&-About For The Past Couple Days…

…So I Wanted To Make Damn Sure I Went Out-&-About Today.

For Today’s Walk…

…I Didn’t Do The Random Shuffling Of My Walkin’ Tunes.

Instead, I Made-Up A Little Playlist.

Listed Below Are The Songs I Ended-Up Jamming To This Morning.

… … …

I Began The Walk With…

“SPECIAL K“

by PLACEBO

…Since It’s A Pounding Jam Jam Jam-Type Jam.

It Totally Works At Getting The Blood Pumping…

…And At Getting The Feet Moving…

…Fo SHO Fo SHO, My Peeps.

😀

The Second Song On My Playlist Was An Old-School Favorite…

“MY BEST FRIEND’S GIRL“

by THE CARS

!!! !!!

🙂

BECK‘s

“THE NEW POLLUTION“

…Was Up Next!

Always A Great Jam, My Peeps.

ALWAYS!

😉

And Then, I Went With…

“NOTORIOUS“

by DURAN DURAN

…Which Is A Totally Fun Jam…

…And It Has All The Power One Needs To Get Those Feet A Movin’ Movin’ Movin’!

😀

I Then Took The Tunage In A Totally Different Direction With…

“DON’T LET ME SLIDE“

by TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND

…Since I Just Knew I’d Be In Cruise Mode By This Point In The Walk.

🙂

QUARTERFLASH

…Was Up Next With…

“CRUISIN’ WITH THE DEUCE“

…One Of The Best Songs On The Whole Album!

😀

I Followed Them Up With A Little…

CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL

…And Their Wonderfully Wonderful Jam…

“FORTUNATE SON“

!!! !!!

🙂

“YOU CAN’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT“

by THE ROLLING STONES

…Was Up Next!

T’Is My 2ND Favorite STONES Jam Of ALL-TIME, By The Way!

😉

I Went With…

ASIA‘s

“HEAT OF THE MOMENT“

…Next.

Always A Pretty Nifty Jam, Kiddies.

Wouldn’t You Agree?

Sure You Would!!

🙂

I Hit-Up Some…

TALKING HEADS

…Next, With The Live Version Of Their Totally Awesomely Fun Fun Jam…

“WHAT A DAY THAT WAS“

…Which Is/Was/Always-Will-Be A Personal Favorite!

It Gets You To Steppin’, My Peeps, Fo SHO!

😀

I Was Nearing The End Of My Stroll At This Point.

I Knew I Had Time For One OR Two More Jams…

…So I Decided To Kick-It With…

KISS

…And Their Totally Classic Jam…

“ROCK BOTTOM“

…Which Is Totally My Fave-Fave KISS Jam Of ALL-TIME!

😀

And Then, Finally, I Went Into Cool-Down-Mode.

What Better Jam To Cool Down To Than…

“BLUE DRESS“

by DEPECHE MODE

…Which Is (likely) The Most Forgotten Tune On Their Biggest Album, VIOLATOR.

And That’s A Shame, My Peeps.

It’s A Very Cool Song, Fo FLIPPIN’ SHO!!!

🙂

… … …

ANWAY, Kiddies…

…I Think It’s About Time For Me To Jump Into The Shower.

So…

…Y’all Should Do Your Best To Take It Easy AND Take Care Of Yourselves.

It’s FRIDAY, Ya Know, So Taking It Easy AND Taking Care Of Yourself Is A Total MUST DO.

Think Y’all Can Handle That?!

SURE YOU CAN!!!

😀

Enjoy The Day, Kids.

THE WEEKEND HAS ARRIVED!!!

Well…

…Almost.

😉

“Got No Manners… And I’m Not Too Clean… But I Know What I Like… If You Know What I Mean… What’ll People Say… Well, Mister, Can’t’Ya See… It Don’t Mean SPIT To Me!” –KISS (“SPIT” (1992))

“SPIT” Is Another Favorite From The Totally Awesome 1992 KISS Album “REVENGE” !!!

Songs That Make Me Smile: “DOMINO” by KISS (1992)

/\

<*>

<<<**>>>

<<<<<***>>>>>

“…Never Had Confession…

…Never Had A Home…

…Never Had No Worry…

…Until I Met DOMINO! …“

<<<<<***>>>>>

<<<<<***>>>>>

“…Ain’t The Virgin Mary…

…Love Her I Confess…

…Got My Hesitations…

…’Cause She Kisses Like The Kiss Of Death! …“

<<<<<***>>>>>

<<<<<***>>>>>

“…Loves Lots Of Money…

…Back’s Against The Wall…

…Calls Me Sugar Daddy…

…She Knows She’s Got Me By The Balls…

…The Call Her DOMINO…

…SO FINE! …“

<<<<<***>>>>>

<<<**>>>

<*>

\/

I Honestly Have No Clue What To Say Here, My Peeps.

I Was Softly Listening To Some Quality Tunage…

…As I’ve Had A Bastard Of A Headache Today…

…And Then This Song…

“DOMINO“

by KISS

…Began To Play.

And When It Was Over…

…I Played It AGAIN!

“DOMINO“

…Is My FAVE Of FAVES From The Album…

“REVENGE“

…And That’s Saying A LOT Since It’s One Of My Favorite KISS Albums.

Period.

Other Great Numbers From…

“REVENGE“

…Are…

“UNHOLY“

&

“EVERY TIME I LOOK AT YOU“

&

“SPIT“

…Just To Name My FAVES!!!

😀

Trust Me, My Peeps…

“REVENGE“

…Is One Of The Best Albums To Come Out Of The Early 1990s…

…And It’s A Great Addition To Any Collection, Fo SHO!

I Know Not Everyone Is A Fanboy Of KISS Like I Am…

…But That’s Alright In This Instance.

The “REVENGE“ Album Isn’t Your Normal KISS Album.

It’s Heavier.

It’s Got More Of A Hard-Rock Sound, While Throwing In A Couple Slower Numbers To Appease Fans Like Myself Who LOVE And ENJOY Their Ballads And Such.

And I’m Pretty Sure It’s An Album That Will Totally Withstand The Ravages Of TIme.

So Why Not Check It Out, Kiddies?!

It’s Totally Worth The Time Spent Listening To It.

Of That, I Have ZERO Doubts.

Wow…

…Guess I Did Figure-Out What To Say After-All.

AWESOME OPOSSUM!!!

😉

ROCK ON, KIDS!!!

ROCK ON, INDEED!!!

😀

My MIDNIGHT Mixes: The Beginning

Since I’ve Been Having Ongoing Sleep Issues…

…I’ve Decided To Put Those Wasted Moments…

…Or Hours…

…To Some (hopefully) Good Use.

As I’m A Fan Of Listening To Music When I Can’t Sleep…

…I Figured This Was The Next (seemingly) Logical Step.

Sooo…

…Tonight…

…Or…

…Well…

…This Early Early Morning…

…I Bring You The First In A New Series I’m Calling…

“My MIDNIGHT Mixes“

!!! !!!! !!!

As I Sat Down To Begin This Little Adventure…

…I Showed No-Signs Of Any Approaching Sleep.

Hopefully…

…By The Time I’m Ready To “Click-Publish”…

…I’ll ALSO Be Ready To “Hit-The-Sack”!!

The Only Song I Chose Was The Final Song Of The Mix.

And Away We Go…

…

…

The First Song Up Was…

“SHOCK ME“

by KISS

…Off Of Their “LOVE GUN” Album!!!

Honestly…

…It Seemed Very Fitting At The Time.

I Hadn’t Listened To It For A Long Time, Ya Know?!

Kinda Surprised Me.

😉

Then I Was Handed A Second Dose Of…

KISS

…With The Classic ’80s Jam…

“RISE TO IT“

…From Their Album “HOT IN THE SHADE“!!!

😀

The Next Great Tune Out Of The Gate Was…

“ROCKIN’ THE SUBURBS“

by BEN FOLDS

…Off Of The Title Album, “ROCKIN’ THE SUBURBS“…

…Which I’ve Always Considered A Personal Favorite Jam, Fo SHO.

🙂

Then My Player Hit Me Hard With…

BILLY IDOL‘s

“CRADLE OF LOVE“

…Off Of The Album “CHARMED LIFE“!!!

🙂

It Started To Feel More And More RIGHT When The Player Went Onto…

BEASTIE BOYS

…And Their Awesome Jam…

“INTERGALACTIC“

…From The Damn Fine Album “HELLO NASTY“!!!

😀

The Next Song Seemed An “Odd” Followup.

YES…

…My Player Then Began…

…Oh Yeah…

…Playing…

MADONNA‘s

“LIKE A PRAYER“

…From The Album…

…Oh Yeah, “LIKE A PRAYER“!!!

It Immediately Made Me Giggle Something Fierce, By The Way.

(teehehehe)

😉

ANYWAY…

…Onward I Went With My Music…

…Still Awake…

…With Very Few Hints Of Sleep In The Air.

“STEAM“

by PETER GABRIEL

…From His Album “US“…

…Was Up Next!!!

🙂

And THEN The Ole Player Touched On A Song I Hadn’t Listened To In A While…

“SANTERIA“

by SUBLIME

…From The Band’s Title Album “SUBLIME“!!!

A Personal Fave Of Faves, Fo SHO!

😀

My Player Was Really Churning-Out A Damned Decent Playlist For Me…

…And I Sincerely Enjoyed What Was Going On.

I Was Pretty Sure It Couldn’t Top The Previous Song…

…But It Came Close With…

“CREAM“

by PRINCE

…Off His Album “DIAMONDS AND PEARLS“!!!

My FAVORITE Song From The Man!!!

Nice!!!

🙂

The Next Song Was…

THE ROBERT CRAY BAND‘s

“PHONE BOOTH“

…Which Is/Was/Always-Will-Be A VERY SOLID Jam From “BAD INFLUENCE“!!!

😀

At This Point…

…I Was Starting To Tire A Touch…

…So I Decided To Kick-On The One Song I’d Been Wanting To Hear All Night.

Which Song Is That, You Ask?!

“EARLY TO BED“

by MORPHINE

…From “LIKE SWIMMING“!!!

I’d Been Itching To Hear It…

…And This Felt Like The Total RIGHT TIME, Ya Know Ya Know?!?!

😀

As It Was Ending…

…I Went Ahead And Shut-Off The Player.

I Was Going To Crawl Back Under The Covers…

…Until I Realized Something.

I Realized There Was No Way On Hell’s Half-Acre I Was Going To Be Getting Any Sleep Anytime Soon.

So…

…I Sat Down At My Desk…

…And I Began Working On This Post.

And Now…

…Since It’s Pretty Much Complete…

…I’m Going To Get It Finalized…

…And Published…

…And THEN I’ll Crawl Back Under The Covers.

Sleep Sweet, My Peeps.

Sleep Sweet, Indeed.

😉

My Morning Mixes: Bound For Glory? Could Be! =)

Good Morning, My Peeps.

🙂

T’Is A VERY Warm Start To A Sunday, That’s Fo SHO.

Like They Say, Though, It’s The Humidity That’s A Killer.

(hehehe)

You’ll Be Pleased To Know I Hit-The-Sack VERY EARLY Last Night.

T’Was A VERY Good Feeling To Awaken…

…Sans Alarm…

…At (almost) Exactly 5:30AM…

…And To Be In A Damned Decent Mood About It.

I’m An Early Riser, Yes.

It’s A Nasty Habit That Has Yet To Dissipate.

In Fact…

…I Think It Has Become Worse.

Is That A Sign I’m Getting Old?

Reminds Me Of A Song By The Band…

MORPHINE

…Called…

“EARLY TO BED“

…In Which They State…

“Early To Bed…

…And Early To Rise…

…Makes A Man Or Woman…

…Miss Out On The Night Life.“

(hehehe)

That Song Isn’t Part Of This Edition Of “MY MORNING MIXES”…

…But Perhaps It’ll Pop-Up Again At Some Point.

😉

ANYWAY…

…Moving On, Moving On.

This Morning’s Walk-About Was EXCELLENT, My Peeps.

The Ole Hometown Was More Like Ye Ole Ghost-Town.

I Didn’t See One Other Person Wandering About.

Only Saw 4 Vehicles In Motion, Actually.

It Was Very Still.

It Was Very Quiet.

It Was Very Very…

…Hmm…

…Well…

…Eerie?

🙂

Upon Leaving The House…

…I Decided It Was The Perfect Morning For A Great Jam.

The Walk Began With…

“BOUND FOR GLORY“

by TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND

😀

If You’ve Not Heard Anything From Them Yet…

…Y0u Really REALLY Should Treat Yourselves, My Bros & Sises!

TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND

…Are Simply AMAZING…

…And PERFECT For Use As A Motivational Tool.

TRUST ME, My Peeps.

TRUST ME, Indeed.

I Followed Them Up With…

“SURE KNOW SOMETHING“

by KISS

😀

And THEN A Little…

CHUCK BERRY

…With…

“YOU NEVER CAN TELL“

😀

By This Point…

…I’m Totally In Cruise Mode.

So I Pop On…

“LET’S DANCE“

by DAVID BOWIE

😀

…And Then…

DEPECHE MODE‘s

“MARTYR“

😀

I Kicked It Down A Notch At This Point.

Decided I Needed Me Some…

TOM PETTY

…So I Jammed-It-Hard With…

“MARY JANE’S LAST DANCE“

😀

…And Then Went Directly Into His…

“FREE FALLIN’“

😀

At About This Point I Figured I Was Already Into Cool-Down-Mode.

So It Seemed Right To Kick-On…

“NEVER SAY GOODBYE“

by BON JOVI

😀

And I Was Right…

…I Was Totally Into My Cool-Down-Mode…

…But I Wasn’t Finished With My Walk.

The Final Song Of The Morning Was Sort-Of Out Of Left-Field.

I Simply Pressed My MP3Player’s RANDOM-PLAY Button.

And It Fired Back At Me With…

“KINGS OF MEDICINE“

by PLACEBO

😀

😀     😀

YEP YEP YEP!!!

T’Was A Wondrous Wandering, My Peeps.

I Haven’t Sweat That Much In Who Knows How Long.

I Was Ready For A Shot Of Water…

…AND A Large Cup-O-Joe…

…Upon My Return Home.

Sound Like A Damned Decent Morning To Y’all?!?

EXACTLY!!!

That’s How It FELT To ME!!!

I’ll Be Checking In With Y’all Throughout The Day, Fo SHO, My Peeps.

Until Then…
