Pandora’s Music For The Masses
Since I’m filling in for ‘Bulo I decided to give you insight into my eclectic taste in music. Warning: There is nothing cohesive about this grouping! Gotta start with Elvis [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tI4Qel8qvW0[/youtube] And slide into Gabriel [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zrzr4R3LpsQ[/youtube] Now, let’s jump into the future with Green Day. (Tried to post The Killers, but YouTube wouldn’t let me) […]
‘Bulo’s Music For the Masses: Jason330 Edition
You reallyreally thought the Beast Who Just Can’t Help Himself would pass up this opportunity? Even though ‘bulo wants Jason back, there are some bridges too far. No, not Jason’s return, but the featuring of Player’s “Baby Come Back, aka the Swifter Mop Song” here. Besides, JMY has already used that one: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0zgwVZtlUU&feature=related[/youtube] Ray Charles: […]
‘Bulo’s Music For the Masses-Michael Vick Edition
The Canine Who Rubs Against You the Wrong Way is forced to admit it. El Somnambulo is a bleeping genius: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ljrTtfJ9XY&feature=related[/youtube] Rufus Thomas- ‘Walkin’ the Dog’ [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=humV6xB9ZhI[/youtube] KD Lang- ‘Damned Old Dog’ [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XUAg1_A7IE&feature=fvw[/youtube] Big Mama Thornton (w/Buddy Guy)- ‘Hound Dog’ [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5USfmpUItcM&feature=fvw[/youtube] Bobby ‘Blue’ Bland- ‘I Wouldn’t Treat a Dog (The Way You Treated Me)’ [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMQQcniF2Bg[/youtube] […]
‘Bulo’s Music for the Masses-Healthcare Reform Edition
‘Bulo must genuflect at the feet of JMY. Brilliant choices, completely on topic, exactly what you’d expect from someone who always colors within the lines. The Beast Who Slumbers has never colored within the lines (he’s tried, but…). Accordingly, while his choices are informed by the topic, they tend to drift from it. Sometimes far […]
JMY’s Music for the Masses-Healthcare Reform Edition
A medley dedicated to the dream of universal healthcare for all: Jill Sobule covers the master: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1SvHwzl3x4[/youtube] Anyone need a Doctor? [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnymKLIopw0[/youtube] Definitely NSFW but a classic treatise on aging and doctors: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHDdqubE7zQ[/youtube] The lyrics on this 80s track sure seem to apply to Washington DC as it struggles to afford us a basic human […]
Coming Saturday: Musical Battle for the Ages
Tomorrow, El Somnambulo takes on his musical arch-nemesis JMY as they give dueling musical takes on health care reform with two separate Music for the Masses. Yes, JMY is a talented and fearsome foe, and his selections are inspired. But, be advised, the Beast Who Cuts and Pastes intends to kick JMY’s bony butt clear […]
Newport Folk Festival
It is their 50th anniversary AND it’s Pete Seeger’s 90th birthday. And the whole thing is being streamed via NPR of all places. I had no idea until just now, but Pete Seeger is up at 6PM, and other sets from earlier in the weekend are being archived here.
A Musical Salute to the Scopes Monkey Trial
On July 21, 1925, the ”monkey trial” ended in Dayton, Tenn., with John T. Scopes convicted of violating state law for teaching Darwin’s theory of evolution. The conviction was later overturned. 84 years to the day later, it is once again time to ponder those eternal verities: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpNoQaB2LT0[/youtube] Chris Smither- “Origin of Species” [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_EyXPs2_Jk[/youtube] Elvis […]

Late Night Music Video: Throwing Muses – Firepile
This is one of my all time favorite songs. [dailymotion]http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xhw0d_throwing-muses-firepile_music[/dailymotion] your baby’s running faster, count the times I left my clothes out, count the tires one more time, count the times I let the air out; that firepile’s your home.

Bulo’s Saturday Music for the Masses-Michael Jackson Memorial Edition
Look at these vids and you come to 2 conclusions: (1) He was every bit as talented as everyone has said (even the song about the rat) and (2) The poor kid never had a chance to be a kid: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4VCUbL7jsc&feature=related[/youtube] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfJu_Bom2sA&feature=related[/youtube] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehal1eUG1jk&feature=related[/youtube] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRTJ2xVr0PA&feature=related[/youtube] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GveM_95x56k&feature=related[/youtube] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-blEgMyJwU[/youtube] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zpTQCQEFhg[/youtube]
‘Bulo’s Saturday Music For the Masses-Best of the Eighties-Volume ??
‘Bulo’s lost track. But he is now unearthing nuggets from his personal faves of the ’80’s. So, until he completes this nostalgic musical wallow through the Reagan/Bush Years (it’s what kept him more or less sane), he will (a) add the El Somnambulo Definitive Album Ranking for each cut he features and (b) when warranted, […]
