Day 4. Kyoto - Phoebe Bridgers

Probably my favorite video of the last 20 (or so) years. Phoebe and her band members are very entertaining in this one. 😀

Day 2. Who Can It Be Now? - Men At Work (1981)

I can still remember the first time I saw this. It was on MTV early one morning right before I went to school. I thought it was incredibly cool then - and I still do! 😀🎶

From Paul's fantastic 1982 album 'Tug Of War.' I've always thought this song could have been a hit if it had been released as a single. 😀🎶

January 2: From an album that has cover art you like.

The Last To Know - Asia

This song comes from the band's second album 'Alpha,' which was released in 1983. The fantastic cover for it was designed by the legendary Roger Dean.

Rest in peace, Spaceman. Thank you for all the great music!

If you’re staying in and watching #TV while you ring in the New Year, what will you be watching at midnight?

I used to watch CNN but I’m not an Andy Cohen fan, so I’ll probably go with the show on ABC with Ryan Seacrest since they’ve usually got some good music acts on it. 😀🎶🎉

Happy Birthday to the great Tracey Ullman!

As great of an actress she is, I wish she'd made more music over the years. Her two album in the 1980s contained a lot of very entertaining music...like this song:

Breakaway (1983)
