ThemeLounge #54 – Fools

Tree TroubleHappy New Year, everybody!!! It’s great to be back, and we really, really apologize for the long wait. We won’t bog things down here with explanations and/or excuses. Yes, our holiday season was busy, and it did include certain setbacks like the one pictured at right (listen to the show), but the ugly truth is that we’ve just been perfect Fools to leave you showless for so long. We’re sincerely sorry, and we’re making a New Year’s resolution to stay on a consistent timetable with the show. Stay tuned and see how we do!

So if all goes as we’ve planned and resolved, the next show should Roll into your hard drive right on time next week. That’s right, observant reader — next week’s theme will be Roll! In whatever form….Roll, Rolling, Rollin’… [Sheesh -- cue the Rawhide theme!] Anyway, got some perfect Roll songs entering your consciousness? Send ‘em to us! E-mail us using the address shown at right, post a comment right here on the blog, or leave us a message at 206-202-LOUNGE! On with the show…

ThemeLounge #53 – Birds

Alex and friendGreetings all! Thanks for winging your way over here for the Birds show! Ugh…clearly I can’t think of a single turn of phrase that would be even borderline clever for this, so I’ll just tell you that this episode features great music from The Ramones, The Alan Parsons Project, Dar Williams, Elton John and more. These tunes will have you soaring! (sorry…)

Birds are fine and all, but hey — what Fools these mortals be, huh? Am I right? Next week we’ll explore the topic of Fools. Think you know a tune or two that might fit? Then you should probably get in touch with us. E-mail us using the address shown at right, post a comment right here on the blog, or leave us a message at 206-202-LOUNGE!

Oh yeah — and we’re thinking about doing another Christmas-themed show after the next one. We haven’t made up our minds yet, but if you’ve got a favorite Christmas song you’d love to hear, drop us a line and let us know; it might help us decide.

ThemeLounge #51 – Wrong

Oh my gosh — hey, sorry to disappear on you there! When we said we’d be back in a week, it turns out we were, um, Wrong. No particularly good reason — just lots of little things that got in the way. But at least Wrong is our theme this week, so we hope you’ll enjoy these songs about being Wrong, by folks like the Pretenders, Tinsley Ellis, Dr. John, Percy Sledge, Todd Snider and more. If listening to ThemeLounge is Wrong, you don’t wanna be right!

Alex seems convinced that we’ll be able to stay on schedule this time and come back with a show next week. And I’m willing to go along with that positive attitude, so c’mon back next week, when our theme will be Think. If you manage to Think of any songs to fit that theme, we’d love to hear about ‘em!! E-mail us using the address shown at right, post a comment right here on the blog, or leave us a message at 206-202-LOUNGE!

ThemeLounge #50 – Stop

Wow, we made it! The big 5-0! Sorry we’re a little late with this week’s show, but we kinda had to psyche ourselves up for this big milestone, y’know? Once again, the theme of Stop is kind of ironic, since we have zero intention of actually doing that…but it definitely led to some great musical selections for this week. Listen and enjoy, won’t you?

When the big 50th show hoopla finally dies down, we’ll get right to work on next week’s show. And we wanted to choose a theme that we felt we just couldn’t go wrong with, and…hey, that’s it — Wrong! Songs about being Wrong. Got a Wrong song? Send it to us! E-mail us using the address shown at right, post a comment right here on the blog, or leave us a message at 206-202-LOUNGE!
