Inspired from reading the Senate Site this morning (and subscribing to their nifty new YouTube channel) I decided to take another look at my YouTube channel.
I stopped actively using my YouTube channel when I discovered LiveVideo. LiveVideo allows me 200mb uploads as opposed to YouTube’s often insufficient 100mb limit. LiveVideo, therefore, has a better looking [...]

By Jason Walsmith/The Nadas and Kyle Munson/The Register
This tongue-in-cheek tune was written as an alternate take on the current climate of caucus frenzy in Iowa - a satirical anthem of sorts. The process: Munson was seeking a local musician to produce such an anthem. Walsmith of Des Moines rock band the Nadas was game and [...]

I have no idea what they’re selling here, but, damn if I don’t want to buy it.

Luigi Boccherini is the best of the unknown composers. Classical Music junkies know who he is but, to people who think that Back and Mozart are the first and last name of one guy, Luigi Boccherini is a name with no memory trigger.
From Wiki:
Luigi Rodolfo Boccherini (February 19, 1743 – May 28, 1805) was a [...]

Because nothing says “thanksgiving” as well as Zydeco. Right?
These tunes are from arguably the best known zydeco player in the history of the United States. I have several of Buckwheat’s albums that are, sadly, albums. Records. Vinyl. I have nothing to listen to them on anymore, so, they sit in the basement and warp.
Buckwheat’s [...]

I love the Texas Tornadoes. I first heard them in 1996 when I accidentally walked into a theater showing Tin Cup (Greatest Golf Movie EVER [last good Costner movie, too). I left the theater, walked to Sam Goody and bought the soundtrack.

I’m carrying forward a theme from yesterday. Former lead singer of K’s Choice, Sarah Bettens has her voice in my head today, left over, or still in charge, from yesterday. So, if you need to know more about her, go read yesterday’s post. Otherwise, here are some tunes.
Have a good weekend.

This band’s first American release was powerful. K’s Choice went from “Who?” to “BAM” seemingly overnight and, for what it’s worth, I have no idea why they aren’t a household name. Several incarnations, it seems, including a solo gig and a reunion tour in 2005 on the African continent.
I find singer Sarah Bettens voice completely [...]

For the triumphant return of Afternoon’s Tunes, I give you Martini Ranch. “Wild Bill” Paxton’s band.
Here’s what I know: The Wiki entry sucks. Bill Paxton was in it with some other guys, James Cameron directed on of thier videos, and Judge Reinhold was in another one. There. We’re all caught up.
The full length video for [...]
