Day 10: A song from the 70's
The Sensational Alex Harvey Band was a Glaswegian band that was part psychedelia and part proto-punk. Fronted by Alex Harvey, they mixed in cabaret, street art, and street theater together. I like this one because it is interesting to see American events from a far different viewpoint, in this case, The Boston Tea Party.

"Redcoats in the village and there's fighting in the streets
Indians and the Mountain Men are talking when they meet
The king has said he's going to put a tax on tea
And that's the reason y'all Americans drink coffee"

I like this live version far better than the released singe.

"Boston Tea Party," The Sensational Alex Harvey Band (1976)

(+1 for Scottish Artist, +73 points for 1773, for a total of 660 and 1/3 points, a free kick, and a balk.)

Day 11: A song from the 80s.

Mike Scott, Edinbourough born, was the mutiinstrumentalist, singer, and primary force behind The Waterboys. This song is from the album of the same name, This is the Sea, and showcases their lush wall of sound style of 12-strings, piano and reverb, what was called the Big Music, and their signature before delving into Irish trad later that decade.

This is a psalm to change and growth, a shimmering pean to the joy and power of the ocean.

"That was the river
This is the sea!"

"This is the Sea," The Waterboys (1985)

(+1 for Scottish Artist, +7 for each Sea, for a total of 668 and 1/3 points, a free kick, a balk, and a bang on the ear.)

Wallflower - Switchblade Symphony
16 year old me is sitting in my friend's basement bedroom, baked, staring at walls covered in pictures of goth/metal musicians ripped out of guitar world magazines or printed from the computer... in COLOUR!

When the cd was switched to Metallica I'd pick up the Vantage and start trying to follow along with the stack of printed tabs from OLGA. Good times

Day 12: A song from the 90s

Like many, I remember finding this video on the Windows 95 CD and it changed everything about whatever musical tastes I thought I had in my adolescence (basically forced to listen to whatever my parents were). Into 90s alternative I went... and in some ways never left.

Day 12- A song from the 90's.
This song made me think of the kind of choices you make when you're starting out on your own. What do I want to do with my life? Where do I want to go? Now, looking back it makes me think did my life make a difference to anyone else?

Day 12: A song from the 90s

In 1994, the PlayStation was released and it ushered in the era of music that brings back the most nostalgia for me. Video game consoles finally stopped using sound chips to produce audio, so you could have CD quality music in a game. If you played any games in the 90s then you are probably familiar with jungle DnB. It was already popular in little clusters around the world, but growing up in the Southern United States, video games were my first exposure. Now. I never had a PlayStation, but I did have a N64 and this game.
