Music monday 6-21-2010

Good Music Monday!

OK, let get this started right. The very first thing we have to do is classify our audience in age groups. It might seem harsh but it we can use the standard Puma (28-35) Cougar's (35-45) and Jaguars (48+) for woman. Guys' lets see I think we should go with the ever popular Summer (25-35) Fall (35-45) and Winter (48+) those last catagories, Winter and Jaguar,  I assume will change as I grow older!!! All age groups younger than that I group as trail blazers, mostly because they wont listen to reason anyway!

Guy's, while I understand your taste in music may be, REO, Boston, Best of Bread (Fall and Winters) Even I enjoy sitting down eating some Subway or vacuuming the first time ever and listening to AC/DC, Beastie Boys or Doobie Brothers (Fall and Winter). Don’t get me wrong, all great music, if you really want to impress, we need to clarify a few things up front so we have common understandings.

First before anything, I think we should start by understanding some basics about listening to any music.

First off, it needs to be played on something. Okay, lets see if you were like me, you were lucky enough in the split-up to walk away with a TV, and with your component stereo, you have a 5000 watt amp, your collection of heavy metal albums, the 6 CD changer (with 6 CD's) and speakers so big the could blow the clothes right off of a girl when you were in college. Hey ladies lets not forget you, that old Panasonic bookshelf your Mom and Dad bought you for Christmas in 1993 when you were in college. You know the one that still has the cassette tape player (BTW you do realize they don’t make those any more right?) so prevalently displayed on the front center of the box. the speakers that are so light you could list them with one hand, or maybe use them still as end table in your living room.   Oh and that old  collection of Journey, Meatloaf and the very popular "movie soundtracks" tapes and CD's you have collected over the years, so we are clear...the may not cut it for the significant other you may want in your life now.

We will discuss stereo equipment in the posts to come, but start thinking about a change in that arena now, so when it comes, you will be ready to move on. Start to embrace the phrase "change is good".

So now that's out of the way.... every Monday we will be looking a new singer or group that can open our minds to some new and very good music. As for my old friends, I am sorry we may need to go back over some stuff in the play list I have already done. I will try to tell you the Album and musician of the Music I send out so you can start to make informed choices for your tastes.

Today's music you can look to the next post and you should be able to get right to the song! Daniel Cage Sleepwalkin! Just click on the name and press play when you get to the website the podcast is published on.  Its never easy to do but keep trying and my only advice for you..... make sure you press play!  

I hope you  enjoy and have a great Music Monday!
