Five Songs. Monday to Friday. My Choice. Your Joy.

Volume 193: that’s it.

Michael Marzy — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 14:47:56 +0000

At least for the time being… Having done this blog for some time now I am running a) out of time and b) out of ideas. And since I don’t want to be the most boring blog on the web I’d better take an official break now.

I thought about which song to share with you to let this come to an end. I could not pick “just one”.

So the idea ist to learn a bit about my fellow followers by asking you to post YOUR favorite song as a comment that we all can look at.

I hope this works, I appreciate your time spent with my music and I will be back. Sometime in the future. Until then: enjoy great music. And let me know about it

All the best, Michael

Volume 192: Sinnerman

Michael Marzy — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 10:29:23 +0000

What a great piece of music – enjoy full lenght and watch yourself tipping your feet – if you don’t something is wrong with you

Nina Simone – Sinnerman

Encore: a very cool remix of that title from Felix Da Housecat

Volume 182: Friday special 9/11

Michael Marzy — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 14:18:28 +0000

Well, I know… 9/11 is only tomorrow… But usually I don’t do postings on Saturdays – so I wanted to share this awesome clip that Budweiser has done after 9/11 (and showed only once). It’s a tribute to the men and women that lost their lives – and it still makes me shiver.

Budweiser

Michael Marzy — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 07:08:03 +0000

From the Swedish movie “Wie im Himmel” (As in heaven/Sa som i himmelen) the most inspiring song. But I guess you have to see the movie to understand that song… So, go watch it (my German friends had an opportunity on ARTE last night…)

Tagged: Abbey Lincoln

Volume 169: 9/16

Michael Marzy — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 14:46:37 +0000

[Edit, the day after...] as you can tell – I was confused… The King died August 16. That was two days ago. I was so impressed by post# 169 / and the date 9/16 that I thought… well anyway… It’s always good to honor him. Sorry

In Germany “September 16″ is written as 16.9. – what a coincidence that this is post #169 – and on September 16 Elvis died. Yesterday. 33 years ago. Time for one of his greatest songs ever. Enjoy. And please do not forget him.
