As a child of the 80’s I have a soft spot for bubble-gum new wave and all punk rock. It’s good to hear that those kinds of sounds are coming back in vogue. I always have my ear open for new indy or electronic music.
Zune Pass account used by my family, which explains Norah Jones and Lady Gaga!Tell them who you really are. They want to know your musical taste too!
My kid is going to the "School of Rock," and their summer show they just did was "Sex Pistols vs. The Ramones." I saw The Ramones was one of your most played artists...you shoulda seen these kids, they were amazing!!!
since you put Donny Osmond on my mixview, I'll assume you're the expert - do we have Donny & Marie singing "Little Bit Country, Little Bit Rock-n-Roll" on ZMP? Search shows me the song, but not on any albums in the marketplace.
JAZZ'S SPECIAL EDITION: FROM THE ZUNE STASH
(Highlighting and dedication to an artist every month)
The fresh listening focus this month is on Miles Davis)
Miles Dewey Davis III (May 26, 1926 – September 28, 1991) was an American jazz trumpeter, bandleader, and composer.
Widely considered one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century, Davis was at the forefront of almost every major development in jazz from World War II to the 1990s. He played on various early bebop records and recorded one of the first cool jazz records. He was partially responsible for the development of modal jazz, and jazz fusion arose from his work with other musicians in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Davis belongs to the great tradition of jazz trumpeters that started with Buddy Bolden and ran through Joe "King" Oliver, Louis Armstrong, Roy Eldridge and Dizzy Gillespie, although unlike those musicians he was never considered to have the highest level of technical ability. His greatest achievement as a musician, however, was to move beyond being regarded as a distinctive and influential stylist on his own instrument and to shape whole styles and ways of making music through the work of his bands, in which many of the most important jazz musicians of the second half of the Twentieth Century made their names.
Davis was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 13, 2006. He has also been inducted into the St. Louis Walk of Fame, Big Band and Jazz Hall of Fame, and Down Beat's Jazz Hall of Fame.
