Monday's Music Moves Me: Back to the Dance Floor

 Hey I decided to venture back into the dance party called Monday's Music Moves Me! It'd been a while but this old wallflower is ready to strut!

"Get Ready for This" 2 Unlimited 

That got me moving, I'm getting my moves back...

"Moves Like Jagger" Maroon 5

Come on and dance!

"Come Dancing" The Kinks

Keep it moving with Chic "Le Freak"

Ah you know you can't...

   "U Can't Touch This" MC Hammer

I hope this gets you moving and hopefully I will see you next time!

Battle of the Bands Results: Sonics win!

A classic song "Louie, Louie" which has been covered numerous times opens up so many opportunities for a Battle of the Bands. This time I pitted the well known Kinks against their lesser known peers The Sonics.

The winners were The Sonics! They won solidly. Not a blowout, not a shut out, just a solid win for  the Sonics. 10 to 6 was  the final score.

The Sonics were influential to many bands including Nirvana, The White Stripes and others.

Here is something original from them called "Bad Betty"...

                                                Here is "The Witch" from 1965...

                                                 "Cinderella"

Thanks for voting the next Battle of the Bands will be February 1. Yes, I am inviting you back! Please come back and vote, comment, ad trivia and have fun! Feel free to visit back before then as well.

Thanks for visiting and exploring the sounds of The Sonics!

Battle of the Bands: Louie, Louie

Welcome to Battle of the Bands today's battle was going to be a tribute to David Bowie. I had the songs selected but then I had to go run a family member to urgent care. Nothing life threatening just something that had to be taken care. When I came back someone else was already using the song, so here I am back at square one.



The rules are simple I pick a song and present a couple of bands battling it out with the song. You pick the one you like best by casting your vote in the comments. The whys and other comments are always welcomed.

Let's get this party started....

The Song "Louie, Louie" here is the original by Richard Berry...

Most of you know the song from this version by The Kingsmen...

Due to the popularity of that version I decided not to use it in the contest.

Contestant One: The Sonics

I picked this 60s garage band since I just ordered tickets to see them as they open for Robert Plant.

Contestant Two: The Kinks

Two bands from the same era. One a big name, one not as big. Which one do you like the best? Vote in the comments.

Happy Birthday Dave Davies of the Kinks!

Today is Dave Davies birthday! He is most famous for his guitar and vocal work in The Kinks. Today he turns 68 and we celebrate his music!
