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 […]
Song Of The Day: Dec. 16, 2017
In the Year Of King Cheeto, only one song could possibly have topped my list as Song Of The Year for 2016. But first, the countdown from a year full of great music (if you’re not checking these lists out, you’re missing some incredible tunes). My Song Of The Year (NSFW) was written in April […]
Song Of The Day: Dec. 15, 2017
My fave song of 2015, although about how a child sought sanctuary from an abusive father, was also my fave b/c it took place in the squared circle of…pro rasslin’. First, the entire countdown! And, now, the Heavyweight Champeen:
Song Of The Day: Dec. 14, 2017
I had no doubt about my choice for Best Song Of 2014. Every bit as timely now as it was then. Perhaps more. But first, the 2014 countdown: https://delawareliberal.net//2014/12/30/bulos-fave-tunes-of-2014-the-top-ten/ Here’s what American Songwriter wrote about this song: “Alynda Lee Segarra takes more than 100 years of murder ballads to task on this standout from Hurray […]

We continue our visit to Songs Of The Year Past. 2012. First, here is the 2012 Countdown, presented in two parts: https://delawareliberal.net//2012/12/11/bulos-best-songs-of-2012-part-1/ https://delawareliberal.net//2012/12/12/best-songs-of-2012-the-top-10/ I really like this list, and love the #1, a white hot slab of adrenaline that Husker Du would have been proud to release:
Song Of The Day: Dec. 11, 2017
As I prepare this year’s list of my 50 Fave Songs, I figured I’d check back on my #1 choices from years past. Starting, of course, in reverse chronological order. Wonder how they’ll stand the test of time. From 2011: Since my #2 was so distinctly different, and since I seriously considered it for #1, […]
Song Of The Day: Dec. 10, 2017
I love it when an impromptu Tex-Mex week breaks out. Let’s dance the week out in style with Joe ‘He’s The King!’ Carrasco:
Song Of The Day: Dec. 9, 2017
One of the great characters in rock ‘n roll history created one of the most memorable Tex-Mex classics. BTW, the song was not about his cat. If you wanna sing along, here are the lyrics: Uno, dos, one, two, tres, quatro Matty told Hatty about a thing she saw. Had two big horns and a […]
