Keeping with the theme this week, what are some notable songs you remember people by after they've passed? What do you want to be remembered by when you go?
Personally, I'd love a big brassy New Orleans jazz funeral.
And drop a list if you got one!

Friday Music Day – 3/25/22 – Soundtrack edition
Today's video is the Rolling Stones - She's A Rainbow, which I "liked" on Spotify after enjoying the soundtrack on Cruella. The movie was enjoyable enough, but the soundtrack really stood out for me, with a groovy, 60's London rock vibe going, and some exposure to tracks and artists (Ike & Tina!) I'm glad to add to my listening.
What's a favorite soundtrack for you, or one that opened you up to some music you needed to be paying attention to?
And drop your lists.
Have a groovy Friday, folks.
FMD 20220225 – Kristen Bell > Idina Menzel
I got nothing. My life these days consists of the 18 month-old demanding the Moana LP, then the Frozen LP, then the Moana LP...
I try to slip "Born to Run" or "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" in on occasion, but usually no dice.
As a result I have capital "O" Opinions on Frozen's soundtrack. #1 of which is that Kristen Bell's singing voice is much nicer to listen to than Idina Menzel's.
2-11-22 Friday Music Day . Online radio
Do you have any favorite radio station you stream?
I have a rotation of Casey Kasem's American Top 40 on iHeartRadio (I know Iknow, supporting the devil here)
KRPR out of Rochester. Its a public radio station that plays a pretty good blend of classic rock
1065 LakesFM out of Fairmont
KOWZ from Owatonaa
Or drop your list!

Okay, gang, it's time to sign up for the Best of 2021 series. It will be first come first served. Just volunteer below and I will set up the schedule shortly. Also, it's been awhile since we all dropped a list, so let's do that too!
FMD 10/15/21 – Autum Songs
This week has been a fun challenge, thinking of Autumn songs. What makes y'all think "autumn" musically?
FMD 9/24/21: Shows That Aren’t
As mentioned earlier this week, sometimes one encounters a musical act in a venue or circumstance other than a concert. Shows that aren't, as it were (or weren't?).
The one that sticks out in my mind is Aerosmith, Britney Spears, and Aretha Franklin, at an NFL kickoff show. And another time I kind of stumbled across Live playing at some event blocked out near the U.S. Capitol, and checked that out for a few songs.
Who are some of those artists for you? When and where? Also lists of 10 songs, if you want to drop 'em.
Weird Music Friday
Give me your weird music.
Weird by any definition. I'm always interested in just how atonal music can be before I decide I just don't like it.
This one toes that line pretty closely for me.
FMD: Out of Touch
I have been so far removed from new music lately. Like many things, I will blame the pandemic. The four of us have all been in the house together for going on 18 months now. Childcare & work means I don't get to put my headphones in and just work while exploring new music. I need to be able to hear for yells, cries, crashes, etc. A lack of commute is also severely cutting into my music time.
How have you all stayed current on music?
PS - I do know that Sturgill's new album dropped today.
