March 2, 2023

So, we popped down the path (get it?) last week with popular music in the seventies. Now, we move on to the reaction. I believe that you can hear the beginnings of Metal in the 60’s, in songs like Born to be Wild by Steppenwolf, and (We ain’t got) Nothin’ yet by the Blues Magoos,Continue reading “March 2, 2023”

Let’s take a dive into the past. I was thinking about how different music genres react and respond to each other, and started to think about the 1970’s.

I was searching for something though Junior High, and had tastes ofContinue reading “Feb 4, 2021”

ALERT! ALERT! Awesome Band time! Poets of the Fall are a rock group out of Finland. I discovered them about 2 years ago, but did not delve into their catalog until this year; and It is extensive (they celebrated their 17th birthday this spring). The music is glorious .

Today I wanted to talk about video game soundtracks, but instead of being general about it, I ended up getting pulled into a particular composer/ studio. I will revisit video game music again, but for now, let’s get into a bit of a deeper dive today, and talk about the amazing music coming from theContinue reading “May 14, 2020”
