Friday Music

It's Friday. I need music.

Wow, it's been a few months since we've done one of these, but I've got the itch.

I've got a big day at the office today. Big stuff in my little world. It's a time for real action. So this week's theme is all about action: songs with a verb for a title.

If you're new to Friday Music, it's just a group playlist based around a theme. You're welcome to add songs; just be sure to link to anything you suggest, and make sure your suggestions are comments on this post and not comments on Facebook. That keeps everything in one place.

I'll start things off with some live Cars: "Drive."

Happy New Year, folks! While it's an uncertain time in the world, I hope you all look to 2009 as a year of great hope and opportunity. In the meantime, let's all have a drink. This week's subject is: beverages.

Don't forget to post links!

It's also Christmastime, so the subject of this week's FM is holiday favorites. They can be traditional, modern, edgy, funny -- whatever. As always, please post links to all suggestions.

We did a holiday theme last year as well, in case anyone feels like checking out some of those suggestions.

Happy holidays!

This week's topic comes to us from Jeff K., my friend and co-worker from Brooklyn. Jeff says: "Here's one I was thinking about this week: favorite back-to-back songs on an album. You know, songs that were born to go together - if you hear one, your brain automatically starts playing the other one when it's over."

So there you have it. Please post links to your suggestions!

My friend Rob Zero suggested a cool topic for this week: Songs that were used perfectly in films.

As always, please post links. Happy Friday!

My pal Teoh posed a good topic suggestion: Songs NOT to play at a wedding. This one should be fun.

As always, please post links.

My daughter has a piano recital this weekend at the WVU Creative Arts Center, and I can't wait. She loves playing so much that watching her does my heart good, and to see her in a more formal setting like this is exciting to me (even though she doesn't seem to care too much one way or the other).

So this week's theme is performing -- as always, interpret it however you want. (If you're new here, just post links to songs that you like that somehow fit the category.)

Here's one to get it going....

It's been one crazy week, folks. No matter what your political persuasion or who you were supporting to be the next president of the United States, one thing is for absolute certain: this isn't the same US of A that it used to be.

So, while it might seem a bit cliche right now, I also think it's appropriate -- this week's theme is change. (One thing hasn't changed, though -- link it up!)

Tonight I'm going out with some friends to see local legends Todd Burge and Owen Davis play at a little watering hole called Gene's Beer Garden. It's a flashback to 15 years ago for me, so I'm pretty excited about it. So this week's theme -- and I think this might be a repeat -- is music from where you're from. I'll start with a little of West Virginia's Todd Burge. As always, please link it up.

This week's theme: black and white.

As always, please post links. I'll start with this one.
