Suede - Saturday Night

Friday's songs are a good time to think about whatever makes her happy on Saturday night.


Guns N' Roses - Patience

Not sure if this can be called a love song, but what the heck, it's a great one :)

Billy Joel - River of Dreams

Going down the river of dreams, down memory lane, down lonesome highway...


Harry Nilsson - Are You Sleeping?

Remember the animated movie "The Point!", a.k.a. "Oblio"? Well, this little piece is from it's soundtrack, written and composed by Harry Nilsson, and performed by himself.

Alannah Miles - Black Velvet

I am not really sure this counts as a love song. But it's definitely one of the most sensuous tunes out there.


U2 - Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me

Now, I'm not sure this qualifies as a love song, but I'll post it anyway.

Bruce Springsteen - Dancing in the Dark

This just goes to prove that America's working class hero had the moves like Jagger. Also, the Boss made Courtney Cox famous before Friends did. Both of them so young it makes me cry, just Dancing in the Dark.


B. B. King - The Thrill Is Gone

A little bit of blues on Thursday.

Nena - Das ist nicht alles

Nena ist one of the most famous German singers from the 80s. Even in the non-German speaking parts of the world, she landed a hit with 99 Luftballons, translated to 99 Red Balloons in 1983. She is very "well preserved" and still musically active, as this song proves.


Nancy Sinatra - These Boots Are Made for Walkin'

These boots are made for walkin'...

Touch and Go - Tango in Harlem

Old dance floor hit...


Genesis - I Can't Dance

I know it's Saturday night fever time, but... hey, I can't dance! Neither can Genesis, but apparently they can do the robo-walk. I used to love this video back in the 90s, with my favourite part being Phil Collins playing pull with the dog for his jeans.

Whitesnake - Is This Love

How could we forget about them????



Franz Ferdinand - Walk Away

A song of a dead love is still a love song, right? Anyways, the first time I heard Franz Ferdinand, I decided not to like them. I can't remember what song it was or why I had made up my mind like that. Then I saw them live and liked them in spite of myself. And then I gave a couple of albums a spin and changed my mind completely. Talk about first impressions... Anyway, here they are, sending us away, confident that it's no big deal.

Sisters of Mercy - More

Yeah, gimme more... more work, more waking up early, more sitting hours in the traffic, more... Oh, you mean that's not what the song was about? Sorry, my bad.




Foo Fighters - Everlong

Funny song

Bachman Turner Overdrive - You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet

Going back to the 70s today, with something that sounds a bit like a promise, a bit like a threat. Heard this song on a classic rock compilation and nothing else about the band, so you are spared the chit chat about it.


Judas Priest - Painkiller

So, going along with the recovery, a bit of Painkiller :)

Meja - All About the Money

Well, Mondays would actually be bearable if they weren't the beginning of the work week. Unfortunately, not many of us are allowed to skip those, since...


Fight - Laid To Rest

So, I was away for a while but now I'm back, indeed I'm laid to rest, but not finished yet...
