Music Tuesday: Nearly Lost You
This Screaming Trees song was an earworm yesterday, so I post it today:
When I sang a few bars to reacquaint my wife with it, my son laughed a lot.

Music Tuesday: Gone, Gone, Gone
Keeping the theme of songs dealing with Penn State opponents for Music Tuesday this football season can be a little tricky. For example, I was unaware of any Iowa musicians, so I had to look at Wikipedia. The Everly Brothers came up, so I figured they’d be as good as anyone. The Nittany Lions play [...]
Music Tuesday: She’s Gone
BLUE EYED SOUL! John Oates and Daryl Hall went to Temple, Penn State’s Saturday opponent, so this week’s Music Tuesday gets this “amazing” video of “She’s Gone,” one of their early hits.
Music Tuesday: Ohio
Penn State playing Kent State means an obvious, but depressing selection, for Music Tuesday.
Music Tuesday – Deacon Blues
If you name-check Penn State’s upcoming opponent in a song, you get to be on Music Tuesday. I am sure that is what Walter Becker and Donald Fagan were thinking when they wrote “Deacon Blues.” It isn’t my favorite Steely Dan song, but not a bad one either.
You probably thought I was going to play [...]
Music Tuesday: Youngstown
I’m bringing back Music Tuesday for football season with a theme — each week’s edition will be tangentially related Penn State’s opponent. This week is easy — Bruce Springsteen’s “Youngstown” since the Nittany Lions are playing Youngstown State.
Next week’s won’t be so depressing.
Today is Thursday, which means its time for Music Tuesday: So What
Remember when I used to do Music Tuesday weekly? Good times, just haven’t been doing it lately. Anyway, on a whim, I searched YouTube for a live-ish version of the Jane’s Addiction song, “So, What.” The now defunct Revolution 101.1 in State College used to play this frequently — it was the only place I [...]
Music Tuesday: People Who Died
When he was growing up on the Lower East Side of New York City, Jim Carroll like to shoot hoops, heroin. He wrote The Basketball Diaries and started a band. “People Who Died” was his best known song. He died the other day at age 60.

Music Tuesday: Radio Radio
Sometime in the late 1970s, Elvis Costello got banned from Saturday Night Live for some reason after playing “Radio Radio.” He and SNL have since made up and he crashed a Beastie Boys on the program apperance a while back. Clearly, he was predicting the demise of the Mike O’Meara Show and WJFK when he [...]
Music Tuesday: La Marseillaise
Today is Bastille Day, so I’ll celebrate with the best rendition of the French National Anthem. The Ombudsman is celebrating by being in France right now, lucky them. Anyway, this was one of the great scenes in Casablanca. How typical of Nazis to get mad because people were having fun.
Speaking of fun
