Here's a new feature that I'm going to try out on the blog for the foreseeable future (or until I get bored with it). Each Tuesday, I'm going to hit the randomizer setting on my Media Player and write up a brief commentary on the first 3 songs that come up. I happen to have a lot of music on my computer (all 100% licensed), and most of it falls into the "classic rock" or "oldies" category. I still have a lot of vinyl lp's that I'd like to get on disc at some point, as well.
Okay, so here goes. The very first Tuesday Triple!
1: Last One –Paw. There are a few good songs by this group, though this is one that falls in the blah category. It isn't really a bad tune, but it doesn't have any kick to it. It's fairly bland until toward the end, where things speed up a bit, before calming down again.
2: Oh How Happy –Shades of Blue. This is the only song I have by this group. It's on a collection of "hits" from 1965, and while I wouldn't call it a favorite, this is a nice little song. A little sappy, perhaps, but at least it has decent rhythm.
3: Isn't Life Strange –The Moody Blues. One of the bigger hits from their "Seventh Sojourn" album, there's something haunting and almost sad about this original version. Personally, I prefer the remake found on their "Legend of a Band" compilation album.
I loved the Moody Blues but have never heard of Paws. And your idea is a good one for Tuesdays.
