Frequency / Crush - 1995

"What's the Frequency, Kenneth?" & "Crush With Eyeliner"

Two of the greatest songs of the 90s. R.E.M.'s entire 'Monster' album is amazing. Check out bassist Mike Mill's purple nudie suit. I had a massive (MASSIVE) crush on him back then.

It's a BEAR, not a tiger.

It's Tricky...

I was just watching RUN-DMC's video for "It's Tricky". And not the updated version from the nineties, I was watching the original 1986 version in all it's faded, VHS-era fullscreen glory. Ah, the memories.... I'm watching it on my Playstation 4 on an app I installed called Vidzone. It's basically a radical new idea where you can actually watch videos of your favorite music artists, one after the other. If a network like MTV or VH1 caught on that idea, there is no telling how far they'd go with it!

Marvin Gaye - My Pride and Joy (1963)

The Mills Brothers - Till Then (1944)

Perfection.

Leo Dan - Mary Es Mi Amor (1971)

Great singer/songwriter from Argentina. I listened to his records since I was thirteen or so (by raiding my mom's collection, of course).Her name is Mary so she remembers this particular song fondly. Beautiful lyrics, gorgeous voice and a nice, groovy beat.

Music in Spanish in the 1970s was always so epic!

The Ramones - Baby I Love You (1980)

I could have posted the original by the Ronettes, but I had to post this version instead. I love both versions equally, but this one does have a bit of a special place in my heart.
