Song Of The Day: Jan. 3, 2018
I was listening to a show called ‘Sound Opinions’, which is out of Chicago but which XPN picks up and plays on Sundays. The hosts were remembering those we lost in 2017. They told the story of how Little Stevie Wonder’s career was floundering after his pre-pubescent hit ‘Fingertips’, which was just an extended jam […]
Song Of The Day: Jan. 2, 2018
Does any song better sum up where we stand in January of 2018? If so, I want to hear it. BTW, this song is 44 years old, which defines the term ‘timeless’:
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes Of 2017: The Top Ten!!!!
I’ve received a warning from the Punctuation Police about excessive use of exclamation points. This, however, is as far as it goes as we’ve reached the Top Ten. And a distinguished Top Ten it is. But first, let’s recap the rest of the countdown. Check ’em out. Oh, and share ’em with your friends. Lotsa […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes Of 2017: #’s 20-11!!!
20. 19. 18. 17. 16. 15. 14. OK, kids, without looking it up, in what Broadway musical did this song first appear, and who wrote it? I’ll be ‘danged’ if you can get it… 13. Has anybody seen God and Kendrick Lamar in the same place at the same time? No? It could be […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes Of 2017: #’s 30-21!!
Notice my subtle suspense-building mechanism of adding an additional exclamation point each day? Just working on my subliminal mind-control techniques should they become necessary. Today’s tunes run the gamut from the profane to…the not-so profane: 30. 29. 28. 27. 26. 25. 24. 23. 22. They had me at the Curtis Mayfield sample: […]
Song Of The Day: Dec. 21, 2017
Of all the performers I’ve brought to the Arden Gild Hall, nobody made a greater impression on me than the Holmes Brothers. We loved them and they loved Arden and the people who came out to see ’em. Had ’em there four times. They could do ‘Saturday night and Sunday morning’ like nobody’s business. Jesus […]

If you check out only one video this Jesus Week, O Lord, let it be This One. I will say no more:
Song Of The Day: Dec. 19, 2017
A Velvet Underground entreaty to Jesus without even a trace of irony present? Why, yes, yes, I think so. I just learned something new during Jesus Week:
Song Of The Day: Dec. 18, 2017
Jesus Week continues. The protagonist in this Tom Waits song expects Jesus to be here soon. That emphysemic cough at the very end suggests that the protagonist isn’t gonna find Him. While the Blind Boys Of Alabama provided a more optimistic take on this song, this one rings closer to the truth for me:
Song Of The Day: Dec. 17, 2017
Welcome to Jesus Week. Don’t worry, regardless of your religious beliefs, or lack of same, there will be something for everybody this week. Full Disclosure: I don’t like the Christmas season (putting it mildly), and I hate Christmas music. The few Xmas songs that I like(d) have long since passed their sell-by dates. But, Jesus […]
