Happy Friday!! Another week gone by and only 6 more Fridays until Christmas!! Can you believe it? There are a bunch here for you to decide if you want to add some things to your Christmas List. You have a wide variety so hopefully there is something for everyone. I only have a couple I am really interested and they are in Bold. Let me know what you want to hear or maybe what we may have missed so everyone knows about it that stops by and checks out the list. Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful and exciting weekend.
Silk Sonic (Bruno Mars & Anderson .Paak) – An Evening with Silk Sonic – (Aftermath Entertainment / Atlantic): First up for me is Silk Sonic. You get the both Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak in one band and let me tell you it doesn’t get any smoother than that!! I really loved the first single “Leave the Door Open” and it has made me so excited for this release!! This will get my weekend going.
Taylor Swift – Red (Taylor’s Version) – (Republic Records): Say what you will about her, but she did shake up radio and music in general. Hell, she is one of the only people out there that actually sells massive amounts of physical product. My kids and I decided we would collect these “Taylor Versions” of her re-recordings as there is an abundance of music from the Vault to come with each release. This is her 2nd re-recording and actually a favorite album of the family so we will be grabbing this one.

2 Loud 2 Old Music 
hi, for me today it’s L.A. guns amd Enuff Z’nuff, I do love the guns, they did a great job for this album (best track: get along or let you down), just a better production would have been better. I love too the power pop/glam metal music of Z’nuff.

Jake Simabukuro for me (cool ‘friends’!) and maybe the silksonic… I’m still undecided if it’s cool retro soul or just slick retread. The album might help decide.

Holy blasts from the past Batman! I thought the Bangles had just retired so that they could enjoy royalties from “walk like an Egyptian” and “manic Monday”.
Dave Gahan has the voice, but he’s just not the same without Martin Gore.
Hat tip for recommending Crazy Lixx last week. They’re great!
This may be the rare week where I don’t feel inclined to buy something. That’s a good thing, as I plan to lock myself up in a room with my CD collection. I have a sick wife and two sick kids to escape from!

Yeah, she’s still putting out new music. My brother-in-law met her a few years back and she she still looks amazing!!
Glad you like the Lixx.
And I hope the family gets to feeling better. Stay healthy my friend!

Wow, a few of my childhood artists are on this week’s post (Little Mix, Taylor Swift, and The Wanted). ‘Red’ is actually my favorite album Taylor ever did. I loved the blend of country and pop she had going on, plus I loved the bangs with the straight hair. I listened to The Wanted for the first two years of high school and I was lowkey excited they were having a reunion, but then I remembered the mental stress I went through being a fangirl and got over it.

Frontiers at it again, pushing five to six releases all at once down our throats instead of staggering the releases weekly.
But while I’m critical of their release strategy, I still check out their artists.

Yeah, I don’t think they are going to ever break from that strategy. It seems to be working I guess.

Apparently time is flying – I remember picking up a 20th anniversary deluxe of Nevermind, given the deluxe LP here, that would make that a decade ago!
And I don’t own any Taylor Swift albums yet, but I’ve heard nothing but good things.

It is wild to think it has been 30 years. A couple of my favorite albums when I was a kid are pushing 50 now.
