Freezing Cold Friday Calls For Some Ice Cube

One of my all-time favorite movies 'Friday', and a phenomenal soundtrack to go along with it. I figure since it's Friday, and it's snowy and cold, that I am somehow required by the laws of music to drop this vid on the jay-strings crew...break yo' self fools!

Friday Funk You Up

Same song. Different Video. New Day.

Some Dubstep Remixes

I've been playing this in the background this morning whilst doing some work...so far so good!

2CELLOS - Welcome To The Jungle [LIVE VIDEO]

YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE?

I Will Make No Objection to Shakira

With Shakira not on The Voice this season, I will have to get my weekly doses here. Is she the greatest female rocker since Stevie Nicks? I have no "Objection".

Zeppelin!

White City - Face the Face

The weekend snow got me looking at Pete Townsend White City.. and one of my favorite Pete songs,  Face the Face.
Who says a trombone solo doesn't ROCK ! ?.... and it looks like Pete is wearing one of my jackets...

Glen Campbell - I'm Not Gonna Miss You

Tim McGraw had moving performance of Glen Campbell's last song last night on the Oscars. Powerful words and emotion. Have a great day, friends.

Best Loverboy Song Ever?

TGIF people...we've all been 'working for the weekend' and it made me wonder...what is everyone's favorite Loverboy song (duets with Ann Wilson don't count!!)? This is a really tough choice to make, but I had to go with...

A Little Alternating Current

A colleague in Europe texted me that the power was out...  so I sent him a little electricity
Just off the press...

How About A Little Double-Take From The 80's

Caleb and I were driving listening to 80's on 8 Sirius radio and this song came on and he loved it. I then introduced him to the videos and explained Danny Elfman, the guy who pretty much composes every score for movies nowadays...anyway here's two from Oingo Boingo!

Who Wouldn't?

Killer pick up line

50 Shades of Paradise

For those couples snowed in their car while driving home from the 50 Shades of Grey movie... I present you the MEAT !!

Black Cat Licorice + Interactive Video = AWESOME!

You need to view this video on a computer so you can toggle between the three different videos to create your own. I originally thought this would be hoakie, but I have to admit, it is so clean and clever, I am sharing it everywhere today... starting right here!

Alive Inside - So Alive

Ellie is working on her 5th Grade Exhibition where she is tasked to research Music and its effects on our Health. We watched this AMAZING documentary last night on NETFLIX, "Alive Inside". I could not help but think of the Jay-Strings and how I know I look just like these subjects in the movie when I get an email with your song selections. Check it out:



And my selection for the day... Love & Rockets' "So Alive"... just seemed fitting.

Alright Now...Party Time Is Over Get Back To Work!

Now that the Holiday weekend is over, it's time to do work...crap!

Lampshade, it's not just a safe word anymore

No cool video but the song makes up for it.  

Jack Black Let's Get It On

Back to Bed

Alright Ya'll

Turn around, grab your significant other and get back to that bed.... in tribute to SHADES OF GREY that premiered last night... two good songs to get in on to...

Guys,.. this is about 12 minutes worth of music.... so good luck with the stamina.

How About Some Soft-Core and Girl-On-Girl For Your Thursday Morning?

Gentlemen, keep your hands on your keyboard/mouse at all times during the ride.

In Preparation for Valentines Day

The Dunwells "So Beautiful" Live Acoustic Performance



These guys opened for Sheryl Crow in Denver a few years ago. All of their songs are great - meaningful lyrics and addictive harmonies. You might just start singing along.



Dedicate this one to your Valentine... or yourself, you selfish bastards.

NIN's Best

I will take this over his latest, anyday.

Ever hear of these guys?...

Ever hear of these guys?... I was into them during the 80's

Called Le Roux or Louisiana Le Roux  Named after a Louisiana gravy called ROUX

(once again this blog can't find the youtube song from copied link so will put link below)

Le Roux Get it Right the First Time

Taylor Swift vs. Nine Inch Nails - Shake It Off (The Perfect Drug)

The perfect shake.

Who likes their oatmeal lumpy?...

Do the hump dee hump
.... big like a pickle.....

Uncontrollable Women of the 80's!

So here are two selections from the 80's about some out of control girlfriends! The first one is simply awesome because it has Rick James in it.

And since the second is classic because of the ending.s

I Blame It On My A.D.D.

Had to carry this over from Jen's previous post. By the sound, I always thought this group was like Daft Punk, where it was one or two guys over some computers making the music. This is cool to see them in action.
Hers reminded of this song.




Hers also reminded me of this video.

Beware the Bad Wolf

I'm back

Nuff said

Peaky F#@&ing Blinders

I came across this band after watching the Peaky Blinders on netflix (Jake knows about this show, Strings I highly recommend). Checkout Red Right Hand from Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds!

Tribute

I just heard last night that Paco de Lucia dies last year...  One of my favorite guitarists... 

Here he is playing Gitanos Andaluces

We also lost Joe Cocker - our first dance as a married couple was his You are so Beautiful

Iam Maclagan - keyboardist of Rod Stewart's band FACES

Bobby Keys - Rolling Stone sax player and sessions player

Jack Bruce - bass player and singer for CREAM

Isaiah "Ikey" Owens - Keynoardist for Jack White

Big Bank Hank - Rapper  most famous for this song... and sing a long... cause like me you know ALL THE WORDS !!

Rest in Peace and thanks for the music.

Who Do You Love?

I awoke singing this tune by Bo Diddley. I had this song on the La Bamba Soundtrack on vinyl. We would play it often while shooting pool at my parents home. It reminds me of good times, so let them roll!

Mountain Band

Speaking of mountains...... sorry ... couldn't resist posting this one...

don't tell anyone I know all the lyrics to this classic.....

Mission Mountain Wood Band

Mountain songs...

Bummed about cancelling a ski trip.... I listened to some good MOUNTAIN tunes today.... but this one three times.....   Thus here is my MOUNTAIN SONG FOR FRIDAY !!

Come on Jenny...... GET THE LED OUT !!

A Song For Jenny

Jenny...where are you?

Let's Go Crazy - It's Friday!

Probably my most favorite "new" artist. Saw these guys ROCK the Fillmore last year. When he comes through Colorado again, I say we need a field trip!

WHOOAA !! Looking down the barrel

WHOOA !! that song got me on the hunt for this one....  and had me looking down the barrel of the devil's gun

and to think I had hair just like this chick.......

#TBT Blame It On The Boogie

It's 2 Hump Wednesday, Bishes!

Did any of you get a chance to listen to the Jack White concert live last Friday on Pandora? I got the first three songs before being pulled away. I did listen to the entire "replay" Pandora is offering. Don't think it is the entire show though.
Ran across this interview of Jack White before the show, and I am even more of a fan. Enjoy.



And so you know... this is the White Stripes parody by Weird Al.
CNR!

Remember this guy on Hollywood Squares?

WHAT !??...

What?... Feeling mellow?... time for some SNARKY PUPPY !!!
SICK  'EM  GIRL !

Ahh This Snowy And Foggy Weather Has Me In A Mellow Mood Today

Chris Cross...a classic singer and songwriter. And no, he will not make you wanna jump, jump.

Hump Day - What's My Brian William's Name?

Hey Tiger & Lance...I Wanna Know!

Lance Armstrong was in the news recently because he was driving drunk and struck several cars, and being the stand-up guy he is he decided to allow his girlfriend to take the blame. Then there's Tiger Woods (a.k.a. Cheatah Woods), who will go down in history as the greatest athlete to fall down into the bowels of shameful disgrace. With that said, I'd like to know Lance and Tiger...where do the down boys go?

A Post For Seattle's Marshawn Lynch, The Skittle Eating "Beast-Mode"...Taste This Rainbow!

It's only fitting since Beast-Mode didn't get the ball on the 1 yard line to win the Super Bowl...that he became the "Rainbow In The Dark".

Steve Morse for coffee

Enjoying a little Steve Morse for coffee time...   there are better sounding versions of this song... but I like the rawness of this live version...

... for some reason Youtube in this blog couldn't find the video.. so hear's a link

Steve Morse

A Dedication to Richard Sherman Williams

Time to get your veggies.

After a Superbowl day of chicken wings and beer... its time to get your veggies...

Here are some DEEP ROOTS from BAD SALAD....
