Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
I was having dinner with folks from work awhile back, and we fell into a parlor game of sorts, taking turns asking questions of the table. Someone asked what would we select as the topic, were we given the task of making a documentary. One person said they’d do a film about immigration policy and another dinner participant announced a documentary about himself. My documentary topic choice was Music Is Life.http://www.blogger.com/profile/15518608210990925369noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003483822738470342.post-62398906084799984342016-03-12T21:39:00.000-08:002016-03-19T14:27:22.651-07:00Carpenters: The Complete Singles (A&B sides)
Carpenters ruled the pop charts from 1970 – 1975, and much
has been written about Carpenters “demise” in the latter part of the decade, as
well as Richard’s addiction to drugs and Karen’s tragic battle with anorexia
nervosa, but what isn’t ever cited it this fact: despite the personal and ultimately
tragic difficulties the siblings endured after 1975, the duo never stopped
having radio hits Music Is Life.http://www.blogger.com/profile/15518608210990925369noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003483822738470342.post-69914060959711383192015-05-31T13:37:00.000-07:002015-06-13T12:21:02.174-07:00“Mingus,” by Joni Mitchell
One summer many years ago when I was still single, two
married friends of mine started inviting me to spend time with them: a lot of
time. We usually had a great time: sharing delicious food and laughter: a lot
of laughter. What I was slow to realize was that their marriage was ending, and
I had served as a temporary balm for their pain that summer: a friendly face to
provide respite from Music Is Life.http://www.blogger.com/profile/15518608210990925369noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003483822738470342.post-33363960285520631012015-04-05T14:26:00.000-07:002015-06-01T20:26:46.696-07:00“Passage,” by Carpenters
Richard and Karen Carpenter were, arguably, the most popular
and influential North American pop music act of the early part of the 1970’s,
placing a remarkable 15 top 40 singles in the first half of the decade and
holding a ubiquitous presence in popular culture during that timeframe, with constant touring,
television specials, guest appearances, and even shout-outs on The Brady Bunch!

Earlier in this blog, I wrote about the make-believe
soundtrack to the 1985 Kevin Reynolds film, Fandango,
lamenting how an official soundtrack to the cult classic was never released. And
the worst part about that musical tragedy wasn’t even the non-curated classic
rock-and-roll tracks included in the film by Cream, Elton John, Carole King,
and Classics IV, to name but a few; the worst part ofMusic Is Life.http://www.blogger.com/profile/15518608210990925369noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003483822738470342.post-41827922684389434622014-10-20T10:18:00.002-07:002014-12-06T20:15:16.296-08:00“Poetry And Aeroplanes,” by Teitur<!--[if gte mso 9]>

A first for this blog, and perhaps a first for any album
review: I’m writing about an album that, technically, doesn’t exist. Also a
first for this blog, Fandango is not
a formal album by one particular artist, which is an underlying theme for this
blog, but a compilation of many musicians. That said, it’s one of the best
albums that never was from one of the most underrated films of the last Music Is Life.http://www.blogger.com/profile/15518608210990925369noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003483822738470342.post-32297239050761337302013-05-25T09:45:00.000-07:002015-06-01T20:47:22.374-07:00"Carpenters," by Carpenters<!--[if gte mso 9]>
