The Wonderful Saw Doctors
Introduction I was first made aware of The Saw Doctors when my friend Mike O'Brien (CEO of Opencast and partner in Mog On The Tyne Cat Cafe) told me about the cover of the album "If This Is Rock And Roll, I Want My Old Job Back" which featured their dads on the front cover and the band on the back cover in identical poses. I was in Sunderland and bought a copy from Volume (another sadly missed record shop) and I completely loved it.

Passion Is No Ordinary Word - The Music Of Graham Parker
Introduction As often happens in these musical appreciation/playlist hybrid Vocal Stories I don't really remember when I first came across the music of Graham Parker. With The Rumour, he was part of the British pub rock movement that set the foundation for the punk explosion of 1977.

A Playlist For The Heartbreak
This list is a mishmash of songs for those that go through different heartbreaks. No matter how it happened, whether it ended for you in a blindsided way you or you had to be the one to end it. The pain is still there because you shared time with that person. You thought you would be together with them.

Some Dawn Singles You Will Love, I Certainly Do
Introduction As you know I have a big CD collection and I sell a lot on Discogs (my store only sells CDs and is below). I often take CDs out of my sale pile to make sure they play OK. I always visually check them but sometimes even perfect-looking CDs don’t play properly.

Hozier sang what?
Hozier's songs are terribly romantic and well, feely. They evoke emotions that have been buried, have yet to be discovered, and ones that are hard for the average Joe to word. Hozier isn't the average Joe. He has found a way to express and tell a story within his songs. Stories of love and ache. Sadness and excitement. So, let's get to some of my favorite lyrics found in Hozier's songs.

Tijuana Brass: A Collection Of Christmas Favorites From My Childhood.
Christmas is my favorite time of the year when it comes to music, and Brass music is certainly something that wins my heart at Christmas, especially when bands add upbeat rhythm, the sound of Christmas bells, trumpets, and trombones to the mix.
