[##catfitewatcher314]

what I am listening to is Van Halen" Diver Down"   one of their best LP's

[Michelle]

Another from the Michelle Archives.....and a followup to Watchers pick...

Its by the great Van Halen.....and its called ......"Little Guitars"

"Little Guitars" is a song performed by Van Halen. It was included on their album "Diver Down".
The song is notable for its intro, an acoustic flamenco-style solo by Edward. This was accomplished by using his right hand to pick a single-note trill on the high E string. He then used his left hand to to play the melody on the A and D strings using hammer-ons and pull-offs.

As Eddie himself said...

   "Everyone thinks I overdubbed on that. Then I show them how I did it. Classical guitarists can do that, but they finger-pick. I can't finger-pick. No, I definitely cheated. I'm good at that. If there's a sound in my head and I want it, I'll find a way to do it. I bought a couple Montoya records. I actually tried to finger-pick, and I'm going, 'Screw this, it's too hard.'"

In addition to the intro, the song is also notable for the mini-Les Paul guitar that Edward used for the main track. This is the only Van Halen recording that the guitar was used for.

If you love playing the guitar as I do....it seldom gets much better...unless its the great "Stairway to Heaven"...which I'll discuss in another post.

Another from the Michelle Archives.....

And this is one that just hit me last night as we played it at the jazz club during one set....those who know me know I am a blues historian...I love it and love to play guitar with a band when I get a chance

This song is from 1962....and the great John Lee Hooker.....and its called....."Boom Boom"

and don't let the age....1962...fool you....this song holds up wonderfully.....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X70VMrH3yBg

"Boom Boom" is a blues song written by John Lee Hooker and recorded in 1961. The song was a hit in the US in 1962 and 1992 in the UK. It is one of Hooker's most identifiable songs and has been recorded by numerous blues and other artists, including a 1965 Pop hit by The Animals.

"Boom Boom" is an uptempo stop-time blues song, notated in 4/4 time in the key of F (the 1992 re-recording featuring Jimmie Vaughan is in the key of E). The verses of the song do not follow a typical twelve-bar blues pattern, though it reverts to a standard twelve-bar pattern for the extended instrumental break in the middle of Hooker's recording.  According to Hooker, he wrote the song during an extended engagement at the Apex Bar in Detroit. "I would never be on time; I always would be late comin' in. And she [the bartender Willa] kept saying, 'Boom boom—you late again'. Every night: 'Boom, boom—you late again'. I said 'Hmm, that's a song!"

Hooker had a unique sense of timing, which demanded "big-eared sidemen".  Backing John Lee Hooker (vocal and guitar) are members of the Funk Brothers (Joe Hunter (piano), James Jamerson (bass), and Benny Benjamin (drums)); plus Larry Veeder (guitar), Hank Cosby (tenor saxophone), and Andrew "Mike" Terry (baritone saxophone).

John Lee Hooker (August 22, 1917 – June 21, 2001) was a highly influential American blues singer,songwriter and guitarist. Hooker was born in Mississippi, the son of a sharecropper, and rose to prominence performing his own interpretation of what was originally a unique style of country blues. He developed a 'talking blues' style that became his trademark. Though similar to the early Delta blues, his music was metrically free. John Lee Hooker could be said to embody his own genre of the blues, often incorporating the boogie-woogie piano style and a driving rhythm into his blues guitar playing and singing. His best known songs include "Boogie Chillen'" (1948), "I'm in the Mood" (1951) and "Boom Boom" (1962), the first two reaching #1 on the Billboard R&B chart.

This is the song Javier Bardem played over external speakers from the attack helicopter as he came in on the estate at the end of the James Bond movie...."Skyfall"

If you want to know why I love playing guitar and the blues......this song tells you all you need to know

So here we go!.....one of my great favorites.....from John Lee Hooker.....its...."Boom Boom"

This one is for Sadie....Emily....and bailey (even unconscious).....who made the rookie.newcomer a total blast.....with just a little bit still left to come....I love you guys

[Michelle]

A replay from the Michelle Archives....

Its one of my all time favs...its from my boys at Maroon 5.....and my best guy Adam Levine...

Its called......"One More Night".......God I love this song......

"One More Night" is a song performed by American pop rock band Maroon 5. The song was released on June 19, 2012, as the second single from their fourth studio album, Overexposed (2012). It was written by Adam Levine, Shellback, Max Martin and Savan Kotecha, while production was handled by Shellback and Martin. It is a pop song with a strong influence of reggae. Lyrically, it talks about not getting along with someone and hoping he only stays with her just "one more night". It is built upon the idea of the quintessential push and pull between what the heart, mind and body want, which are usually opposing things.

The song received mostly favorable reviews from music critics. Most of them complimented the reggae influence on the track, Levine's vocals and labeled it a "summer catchy song". However, some critics perceived a lack of identity and criticized the song's melody. The song debuted at number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100, while it debuted at number 27 on the Canadian Hot 100 chart. It has peaked at number 1 on the Hot 100 and number 2 on the Canadian Hot 100 chart. It currently is Maroon 5's most successful single on the Billboard Hot 100, spending 9 consecutive weeks at #1. The song has also been a success on the Australian Singles Chart, reaching number 2 and topping the New Zealand Singles Chart and the South Korean Gaon International Chart. The song sold 6.9 million copies becoming the 8th best selling song worldwide in 2012.

"One More Night"
You and I go hard at each other like we're going to war.
You and I go rough, we keep throwing things and slamming the door.
You and I get so damn dysfunctional, we stopped keeping score.
You and I get sick, yeah, I know that we can't do this no more.

Yeah, but baby there you go again, there you go again, making me love you.
Yeah, I stopped using my head, using my head, let it all go.
Got you stuck on my body, on my body, like a tattoo.
And now I'm feeling stupid, feeling stupid, crawling back to you.

So I cross my heart and I hope to die
That I'll only stay with you one more night
And I know I said it a million times
But I'll only stay with you one more night

Try to tell you "no" but my body keeps on telling you "yes".
Try to tell you "stop", but your lipstick got me so out of breath.
I'll be waking up in the morning, probably hating myself.
And I'll be waking up, feeling satisfied but guilty as hell.

Yeah, but baby there you go again, there you go again, making me love you.
(Making me love you)
Yeah, I stopped using my head, using my head, let it all go.
(I let it all go)
Got you stuck on my body, on my body, like a tattoo.
(Like a tattoo, yeah)
And now I'm feeling stupid, feeling stupid, crawling back to you.

So I cross my heart and I hope to die
(Yeah)
That I'll only stay with you one more night
(Oh)
And I know I said it a million times
(Yeah)
But I'll only stay with you one more night
(Yeah)

Yeah, baby, give me one more night
Yeah, baby, give me one more night (whoa, yeah)
Yeah, baby, give me one more night (oh, yeah, yeah)

Yeah, but baby there you go again, there you go again making me love you.
Yeah, I stopped using my head, using my head, let it all go.
Got you stuck on my body, on my body like a tattoo.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

So I cross my heart and I hope to die
(Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh)
That I'll only stay with you one more night
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
And I know I said it a million times
(Oh, I said it a million times)
But I'll only stay with you one more night
(Yeah, baby give me one more night)

So I cross my heart and I hope to die (yeah, yeah)
That I'll only stay with you one more night (yeah, yeah)
And I know I said it a million times (yeah, yeah)
But I'll only stay with you one more night (yeah, yeah)

I don't know, whatever.

Babyblue..by.badfinger

Played at the end of the.breakingbad..series finale

Goodbye.walter white...lol

[Michelle]

Another from the Michelle Archives.....and one that's quite appropriate right now

Its from Badfinger.......and its called ......"Baby Blue"

On last night's series finale of "Breaking Bad", Walter White's final moments were soundtracked by a song befitting for the mastermind behind the blue meth: UK power-pop band' Badfinger's lilting lulalby "Baby Blue," a song that hints at both reverence ("I would show the special love I have for you, my baby blue") and regret ("I guess I got what I deserved").  

As we saw Walter White (Bryan Cranston) -- bleeding and near death -- back in a lab one last time, he had just the song to send him off. "Baby Blue," from British rock band Badfinger, played over Walt's last minutes. The song is from the band's album "Straight Up" and was a Billboard top 20 hit in 1972. The song was reportedly written about Dixie Armstrong, a woman lead singer Pete Ham had dated while on tour in the U.S.

"Baby Blue's" lyrics are appropriate for the end of Walt's journey, with lines such as  "I guess I got what I deserved" and "I would show the special love I have for you, my baby blue." On The Talking Bad, show creator Vince Gilligan said the scene in which the song is used illustrated Walt's love for his blue product.

"Baby Blue" is a song recorded by the rock/pop band Badfinger for inclusion on their 1971 album, Straight Up. The song was written by Pete Ham, produced by Todd Rundgren, and released on Apple Records.

"Baby Blue" was released as a single in the US on March 6, 1972, in a blue-tinted picture sleeve and featuring a new mix. Because Al Steckler, the head of Apple US, felt that it needed a stronger hook in the opening, he remixed the track with engineer Eddie Kramer in February 1972, applying heavy reverb to the snare during the first verse and middle eight.  
It would become the group's last Top 20 single, peaking at number 14 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart.

"Baby Blue" made an appearance in Martin Scorsese's 2006 Oscar-winning film, "The Departed" and in again.... the TV show "Breaking Bad" where it was played during the final minutes of the show's series finale, "Felina". Vince Gilligan, the show's creator, implied on "Talking Bad" that it represented the main character's love of his own creation, the blue meth. Following the song's use in the hit show, streams online increased in popularity exponentially almost immediately following the broadcast.

So here we go......from 1972.....its Badfinger.........and......"Baby Blue"...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beM28FLdAzk

This song is dedicated to all those......who think I have got what I deserved.....and more.....its dedicated to those "wannabe" friends


"Baby Blue"
Guess I got what I deserve
Kept you waiting there, too long my love
All that time, without a word
Didn't know you'd think, that I'd forget, or I'd regret
The special love I have for you, my Baby Blue

All the days became so long
Did you really think, I'd do you wrong
Dixie, when I let you go
Thought you'd realize, that I would know, I would show
The special love I have for you, my Baby Blue

What can I do, what can I say
Except that I want you by my side
How can I show, you, show me a way
Don't you know, the times I tried
Guess that's all I have to say
Except the feeling just gets stronger, everyday
Just one thing, before I go

Take good care, baby, let me know, let it grow
The special love, you have for me, my Dixie dear

"I have been around the world,
Lookin for that one-eyed girl...."

[Michelle]

My favorite part.....

I think about how many times I have fallen
Spirits are using me larger voices callin'
What Heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten
I have been around the world
Lookin' for that woman girl
Who knows love can endure
And you know it will
And you know it will

When you see the Southern Cross for the first time
You understand now why you came this way
'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from is so small
But it's as big as the promise, the promise of a comin' day

I have made it very very plain over the months I have been here......I love Justin Timberlake!

I think he is quite simply the best......no questions.....and he can have me anytime he gets tired of Jessica Biel

This song of his is maybe one of my favorite.....after "Mirrors"....which is my favorite song of his...

The name of this particular special song is from 2007 ....and its......"What Goes Around Comes Around"....

"What Goes Around... Comes Around" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Justin Timberlake for his second studio album "FutureSex/LoveSounds" (2006). It was written and produced by Timberlake, Timbaland, and Danja. The song was said by Timberlake to be about betrayal and forgiveness, and was described by some music critics as a "sequel" to his 2002 single "Cry Me a River". The song received generally positive reviews from music critics.

The song was sent to United States radio on January 8, 2007, as the album's third single. It became Timberlake's third consecutive number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100. Internationally the song was also successful, reaching the top ten in countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, Germany, and Australia. The song was later certified two-times platinum in Australia, Gold in the United States and gold in New Zealand. The song received positive reviews from music critics. The song won Best Male Pop Vocal Performance at the 50th Grammy Awards, where it also received a nomination for Record of the Year.

The music video for the "What Goes Around... Comes Around" is priceless and wonderful and one of the best I have ever seen.  It was produced as a short movie. The video was directed by Samuel Bayer, who had first directorial works with Nirvana's 1991 single "Smells Like Teen Spirit". The video features dialogues written by Alpha Dog writer and director Nick Cassavetes, who had previously worked with Timberlake in the film. Timberlake and Bayer enlisted American actress Scarlett Johansson after deciding on using "real" actors. The shooting went for three days between Christmas and New Year's Eve in Los Angeles. The dawn scene was shot on January 8, after the original sessions were done.

In September 2007, "What Goes Around... Comes Around" won an MTV Video Music Award for Best Direction.[35] It was also nominated for Video of the Year but lost to singer Rihanna's 2007 video "Umbrella"

"What Goes Around Comes Around" is about betrayal and forgiveness.  Timberlake revealed that the song was written for the experience his friend went through.  However, the public came up with different interpretation of the lyrics, that being a sequel to "Cry Me A River". Bill Lamb wrote that the song has a "cautionary tale in the lyrics".   According to him, many fans and critics alike, after hearing the song, insisted that it is similar in meaning to "Cry Me a River", which allegedly accounts to Timberlake's relationship with former girlfriend, pop singer Britney Spears.  Spence D. of IGN commented that the song presents "some intriguing ambiance"

I especially love this song because I got to see Justin when his tour "Future Sex/LoveSounds tour in 2008 came to New York and played at Madison Square Garden.  I have been many many concerts....but never have I seen a venue erupt as MSG did that night.  My girlfriend and I had the very best time of our lives...I still get goosebumps thinking about it 5 years later
