(non) Cover of the Week 70
An older fella like me gets excited about stuff like this: I recorded, trimmed, an uploaded this video to my blog all from the iPhone. Someone requested this one. Make a donation to a charity. Please. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ev5p7ic-XV8] – Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone http://billjanovitz.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default
Norwegian Black Metal
The closest I have ever gotten to liking anything that might be construed as heavy metal was the hard rock of the 1970s like Led Zeppelin, AC/DC and maybe the first or second outer rings into the 1980s like Motorhead. These were bands still rooted in the blues somewhat. And even Lemmy provides some semblance …
Cover of the Week 69 In the Garden
As I touched on in this post way back when, music is about the closest I get to religion. But when its hits me, it gets me deep and brings me to church. There might not be a more perfect distillation of this feeling than Van Morrison’s “In The Garden,” this week’s CoTW.

Cover of the Week 65 Loving You
January 2010 I get the feeling that the crowd-pleasers of these covers and non-covers so far have been the songs from the not-so-distant past – alternative rock songs from Buffalo Tom and our most immediate influences or contemporaries. At least, that is what I get from the more vocal feedback. Clearly, though, this is a …
What Else Do You Need?
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uKGWpqnS8E] Check out Jesse Winchester on Elvis Costello’s Spectacle. Jesse might not be everyone’s cup of tea. Some my find him too straightforward or sentimental. To those I say: hey, there’s no accounting for the taste of such cold-hearted wretches like you who can’t recognize brilliant songcraft when it is staring you in your sad …
