Music on a Monday: in memory of Dad

However... all best laid plans - and THIS is the song that we ended up playing throughout the service. Yes, it was a fav of Dad's - but still...

Fabulous on a Friday!

Thanks Noni!

Two-fer Tuesday

Great song - great dance...

Another one of Dad's requests...



However, the celebrant didn't think it was appropriate that we played it as people came in to the service. She so didn't get our family humour!

One of Dad's requests for his funeral...

Music on a Monday: in memory of Dad

First in a series of songs we planned to play at Dad's funeral - but it didn't quite work out that way...

This was the ex-flattie's contribution to the discussion - and it was so perfect.

Because it's her birthday

and because this is one of the most amazing songs ever, sung by one of the most amazing voices ever...

Yes, it's Tuesday - whatever...

The original - Nine Inch Nails




The cover - Johnny Cash

Yes, a day late... that's what happens when you don't get organised & can't be bothered plugging your computer in on your day off...






I love both versions.

Which version is your favourite? Vote now...

Soft Cell... so very 80s





Or Marilyn Manson?

Happy Birthday David!

Sigh...

For Phoebe / Kayleigh

Hey Pheeb! I think parents might be getting older & they have fond memories of this song from their youth...
Just remember, I'm old... that's how I know this one.

And today's music dial is set to wacky....

Those were the days - when music wasn't instantly beamed around the world. I heard this one earlier than the official NZ release date, because someone in the news room of whatever radio station I listened to had bought a copy on its UK release (I think the day he left the UK) and brought it back to New Zealand - whereupon he delivered to the radio station & they played it. I taped it off the radio - and still have that copy somewhere.

Music for a Monday

This may be my fav Sabbath number - or, it is until I hear another track...

Music for a Monday

yet again, on a Tuesday! And, for added oddness - published AFTER Wednesday weirdness...
Music you struggle to sit still for... yes, music that makes you move...
In no particular order and, as always, subject to change at a moment's notice...
