Music to Kill Zombies to

Watching TV the other night something caught my... ear :confused: I wasn't interested in the ad, but the music that was used in it.

A bit of searching (isn't is amazing what you can find using the internet? :wink: ) and I managed to track down a decent bit of blues. I think my blog is overdue for some more.

Anti-Earworm

,

Have you ever heard the term earworm? That's what you call a song that gets stuck in your head.

But what about a song that that you listened to :left: perhaps a bit obsessively :right: but then completely forgot?

I was listening to the radio the other day and out of the blue they played this.

NOW I've got an earworm. Homer: Doh!

A Little 3 String Trance Boogie

,

I was watching the BBC the other night. First they showed a documentary about Seasick Steve. Unfortunately I missed the start. :down:

But I did catch all of him performing at the Reading Festival. :yes: The highlight being when he closed out the set with Dog House Boogie.

Obligatory Christmas post

, , , ...


Thanks for passing this on to me Leazz :smile:

I hope you were all good little boys and girls and Santa brought you what you wanted. He did for me. :wink:

A bit surprising that he came at all. We were a bit naughty and only got our decorating done yesterday. Still, I think it turned out rather well.





Last year I posted some seasonal songs which people seemed to enjoy. Again, I'm late, but better late than never.

So enjoy the rest of the day. I'm looking forward to a quiet evening in with a couple of Christmas specials.

My cousin Alan and his family, visiting from BC, introduced me to this song by Todd Butler

Another Song Stuck in my Head

, ,

I heard a verse of a song I first heard years ago on TV yesterday. And I keep humming it to myself ever since.

Of course once I got online I had to go and find the words. So now I'm singing it under my breath. :rolleyes:

I wonder how long this will last?

Another song stuck in my head.

They've been playing this on the radio alot lately. I wonder why. :D

I really like Mundy. His songs just make me feel good. Light and bouncy and with a bit of humor.

Here a couple more of my favorite Mundy tunes.

I've got a song stuck in my head,

so I had to go track it down on-line.

The Jumbo Breakfast Roll is being played on the radio every morning. And now I can't stop humming it. Good thing I'm a fan of Pat Shortt.
