Hmmm - what to post on NYEve?? The Black Keys from OH will work.
While listening to TBK, I either want to be in this video or in a dive bar smoking a cigar and drinking whiskey.

I don't know what it is about this deeper cut that instantly attracted me. That doesn't happen often, and I crave things that do.
Like some other of my posts, this tune can take you on a ride if you let it.

It's time for some more U2. I've posted them before but I don't think I mentioned that they were my favorite band in high school - was even a member of the fan club.
Anyway, this tune has a special feel; there's nothing not to like.

This song is the 1st track off their 4th studio album and possess all the Thompson Twin power.
Was making dinner one night and the song came to me; pregnant with the idea of posting.

First thing to say is that lead singer Michael Been's voice is 2nd to only Ian McCulloch of Echo in my music world. Unfortunately, Been died on August 19, 2010 from a heart attack.
The Call was very much a part of the magical 80's for me and this tune is central. They have 2 other great songs which will eventually be posted but enjoy this one for now.
