Rachel update 30-Aug-2017: I found this live acoustic version that is really cool:

This song is not really related to Halloween, other than Halloween is kind of dark.  And, hey, it came from the "Ghost In The Machine" album.

"This Masquerade" by Carpenters

I was going to post both the Leon Russell and the Carpenters version of this song, but I listened to a couple of the Leon Russell videos on YouTube and they sounded different than I remember.  Maybe the single was different than the album version or my memory is faulty.  I may have to try to find the 45, but for now, here is the Carpenters version:

It's been a lousy day and last time I searched for this song on YouTube I could only find the instrumental version so I can't cope with it tonight.  Tomorrow I will either find it or stick it on YouTube myself :)

Sorry, I haven't had time to post it yet.  I added a link to the instrumental version until I can get my act together.

I'm going to cut the K's short and start a theme week.  I thought it was interesting that there were several songs with a "masquerade" theme that were on my list, so I am going to post them this week.  I'm going to start with my favorite Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 song.

YouTube: I have found two videos of this song, but they both sound like they are running at the wrong speed.  I will investigate further and update this post.

"Wouldn't It Be Good" by Nik Kershaw

Another favorite from the 80's.

"Are You Gonna Go My Way" by Lenny Kravitz

 Rachel update 25-Oct-2017: adjusted the date so that it appears on the correct date now.

Original Post:

Damn, I completely spaced posting this last night.  So this is my track for October 21st.

I remember sometime in the '90s they turned an old power station near the Cottonwood Mall into a dance club.  I went there early one night and there were only a handful of people there.  I remember they played this song and one guy got up and danced.  Such a great song.

"Drive That Fast" by Kitchens of Distinction

Rachel update 20-Feb-2018: fixed all the links I added last year so they are clickable.  Sheesh!!!


Rachel update 25-Jul-2017: the original link is dead, I've added some up-to-date ones.

I also wanted to note that I went on a trip to Yellowstone with Cuzzin Brad and Chet back when they were still at X96.  Of course we all worked on KCQN and now they are at 103.1 The Wave.

Anyway, when were on the road to and from West Yellowstone I had a mix CD with me that had this song on it and we loved it so much we played it over and over.

"Maybe This Day" by Kissing The Pink

Rachel update 25-Jul-2017: the original link is dead, I've added some up-to-date ones.

I also would like to note that, I don't remember exactly why I was downplaying my involvement in KCQN at the time.  Fact is I did all of the technical work, setting up and configuring computers, finding the Rivendell Radio Automation Software and setting it up.  I did all of the software programming.  It was a full time job...

"I Can Hear You But I Can't See You" by Swing Out Sister

This is another instrumental (with Corinne's beautiful voice adding some texture) by SOS that I just love.  It is amazing to me that Corinne and Andy can make me feel such emotion with no words.

"Wanders To You" by Howard Jones

I have tried to not to post two songs by one artist in a week, but I've decided to make an exception in this case.  This is from my favorite Howard Jones album: Cross That Line, which I have linked below.

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmBY7_8euQA

Cross That Line:

1. The Prisoner: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ug46PmDGujI

9. Wanders to You: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmBY7_8euQA
10. Those Who Move Clouds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nW70_J5XHio

My good friend Stefanie is a friend of Howard and he sent her a book a couple of years ago called The Buddha, Geoff and Me.  While I was visiting her, I picked it up and read the first chapter.  I was intrigued and ordered a copy for myself and I really enjoyed the book.  Now, I just found a web site for the book http://www.thebuddhageoffandme.com/ that I'm going to have to check out.

"Crystal Blue Persuasion" by Tommy James and the Shondells

I remember taping this album from a friend on a reel-to-reel along with a Dean Martin album.  Seems like kind of a strange combination, I know.  This is still a great song and I enjoyed the video as well.

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDl8ZPm3GrU

"Pressure" by Billy Joel

I had a terrible time picking just one Billy Joel song for today.  I really wanted to do "New York State of Mind", but I decided to save it in case I want to do a New York or City themed week.  Pressure is one of those songs that I've played over and over, so I'm going to choose it.  Plus it has a fun video.

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iyv905Q2omU

"Locomotive Breath" by Jethro Tull

Rachel  update 14-Jul-2017: the old link is dead.  I have added a new one.

And I wanted to add a note that I remember listening to this album with my high school friend Wade Edge.  I remember one day at school he had gotten a '55 Chevy, we went out so he could take me for a ride and it was parked in front of the school.

When I went into Bonneville High last year (2016), to have them change my name, I parked in that same area and it reminded me about getting in that '55 Chevy and riding around in it.

I like the way this song starts off quiet and slow and builds and builds...

"24" by Jem

Wow there are many videos for this song, but I couldn't find an official one.  I also couldn't really decide which one I liked best so I'm listing a few of them, there are many more.  I love how urgent the music is, like you really are running out of time.

"Equality" by Howard Jones

I was sitting in my car late one night waiting for some friends to meet me at Bill and Nada's Cafe.  I think I was listening to the original KJQ and this song came on.  I was, like, Wow, I love this song!  But I couldn't remember the name of it.  So I had to sit in my car through the entire set until the announcer finally came on.  Anyway, this song and "Wanders to You" are tied for my favorite Howard Jones song.

"All In Your Mind" by Swing Out Sister

Rachel update 11-May-2017: changed the date of the post so it matches the day it was supposed to be posted.  Noted that the live video is now dead, the account that posted it has been canceled.

Original Post:

Damn!  I can't believe that I did it again.  I have been feeling under the weather for the past couple of days and I was so exhausted last night I went to bed early, forgetting to post yesterday's song.  So this song is my song for Oct 10th.  There's even a live version from the concert in Brasil last month.

"In The Time of Our Lives" by Iron Butterfly

When I was a kid, my friend Nick and I road our Stingray bicycles all the way from South Ogden to North Ogden to a record store that was going out of business.  One of the albums I bought was Iron Butterfly's "Ball".  None of the albums had outer sleeves and I later found out that the record store was ripping off the record companies.   They had returned the outer sleeves for a refund, told the record companies they had destroyed the records, and then sold them without sleeves.

The only song on this album that I had heard on the radio was "Soul Experience", which I thought was a great song.  But it turned out this entire album was a winner.  I in fact couldn't decide which song to use as my title for this post.

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hfOwaG2glA

Ball:

1. In the Time of Our Lives: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cIGJszQ7CU

"Leave Me Alone" by Natalie Imbruglia

I had no idea this album was so big until reading Wikipedia just now.  Six million copies worldwide.  This is a great song for sure.

"Two Worlds Collide" by Inspiral Carpets

Rachel  Update 12-Dec-2016: I originally wrote this on October 8th, but I'm modifying the date so it appears on the correct day for this song.

Well damn!  I was frustrated with several things last night and decided to just go to bed, forgetting completely to post this song.  Sometimes it gets very frustrating when you can't hit the right keys on the keyboard, like ten times in a row.  And then there is Qwest, now Century Link, who still can't get things right.  There is no question, that over the years, I've had to call them with problems more than any other company.  But I've strayed way off topic...

Anyway, this is my song for October 7th.  It came on KCQN-Utah the other day and I was, like, oh yeah this is a great song.  And it asks a great question: "What have I done with my life?".  I know I've spent way too much of mine on the phone arguing with Qwest!  But I digress again :)

"On The Stairs" by Nicky Holland

I was in Florida on business, driving around one night listening to the radio and they played "Coloring Blue" by Nicky Holland.  I made a note of it and bought the CD when I returned home.  It became one of my all time favorite albums.  It is also interesting that Lloyd Cole is on one of the tracks.  Unfortunately I could not find all of the tracks on YouTube.


Rachel Update 11-Dec-2016: even more unfortunate, now two of the tracks I had from 5 years ago are no longer available.  One of which was today's song.  :(   I have moved them to the end.
