Then and Now

Sometimes, it’s fun to look at the old year books, gazing upon the pictures of our classmates and wonder what they look like now….

Depeche Mode

Def Leppard

Boy George & Culture Club

Gary Numan Official

Duran Duran

Men Without Hats

There is no video for the now, just audio. The band is in the process of recording a new album,

Trip Hop

I love trip hop and all the sub-genres that followed such as chill, downbeat or groove. Here are few of my favorite things.

One Hit Wonders

Time for some one hit wonders. Here is a quick game. I have or had in my collection all these songs.

Instrumentals

I give you instrumentals by bands who do not normally record instrumentals!

JAZZ…or…DON’T KNOCK IT UNTIL YOU TRIED IT!

Vince Guaraldi made his home in San Francisco who wrote and performed the music of the Peanuts cartoons.

Jazz can swing!

In the 50’s some jazz musicians got tired of playing in a 4/4 time signature. Dave Brubeck and his band wrote a few songs utilizing other time signatures. This song was written by saxophonist Paul Desmond and it is in 5/4 time.

BONUS: What do you get when you cross swing music with Hard Rock?
Diablo Swing Orchestra
