What's The Connection? Shadow 2

Part two of the Shadow connection. I liked copying so much that I am doing it again (for the whole story of Moozler and Shadow 1 click here). But more Shadow songs here and mostly not on either link. Another version of Nilsson's Shadow song, this time done with Frank and Sammy. Some fun old stuff, some BOC, Kissing The Pink, some country and even some prog. This one goes all over the place with no rhyme or reason until you remember the connection, but it's got some great songs on it. E.G. Daily also has a song here. With so many of Daily's songs on soundtracks can you tell me which one is your favorite? Give me the movie and the song. And the cover I still like, too. Look closely. What do you see?

St. Patrick's Day

Instead of a new connection for St. Patrick's Day or just a repost, I figured I would give a list links of previous posts for this day. So I guess they are all reposts.

• Celtic Pick (Irish music for St. Patrick's Day)
• Celtic Pick 2 (Irish music for St. Patrick's Day)
• St Patrick's Day Leprechauns
• Luck Connection (Songs with Luck in them)
• Beer Connection volume 1
• Beer Connection volume 2

This is probably the only time that clicking on the cover gets you no links. 

What's The Connection? Eyes 3

I've done a few connections with Eyes. Mostly generic, but one about Blue Eyes. This has some colored eyes on it, but it's mostly generic. Several black eyes, a green eye, red eyes and even dirty eyes. Similar cover again and similar mix of genres. Some country, some rock , prog, crooners, new wave, dance and pop all mixed in for good measure. The numbering does not include the blue eyed connection, but all the generic ones.

Ides of March

The Ides of March was a band started with Jim Peterik (see that link for a family pick) but is also the 15th of March when it is thought that Julius Caesar died. Beware! Beware the Ides of March! Most people associate the band with Blood Sweat and Tears because they have the huge hit Vehicle that has that same sound. But they have a bunch of very good songs over their career, mostly because of Peterik who went on to be a great songwriter even after he left this band (on hiatus). All of the songs on this pick (except of the last one by Survivor - not Eye of the Tiger) are by The Ides Of March. Survivor is the other band Peterik was in and probably more well known and this track was not on the other compilation, so I thought I would throw it in here. Either way be careful today while you listen to this. Beware!

What's The Connection? Beware 1

Today it's Pi day, so Happy Pi Day. Click that link to see previous Pi playlist. And tomorrow is the Ides Of March. So we are always told to Beware the Ides Of March, so to get you ready, Caesar, here are some songs with Beware in the title for this connection. Tons more of these are available, but just some of my first impressions to put in here. Nothing really to do with Caesar on here, except for maybe Colosseum. I put George Harrison and Concrete Blonde right next to each other. Same song, but different.after the first listen, skip the one you like least. I won't mind.

Erosion Control 2

Part two of the Erosion Control pick. Like volume one of Erosion Control from four days ago, it's just a playlist of covers of mostly rock songs, mostly in a rock style. Unlike the Facsimile comp which had more of a dance feel too it, this one is more rockish. Although the Dregs are rock, they are also jazz/fusion and maybe something else occasionally. A couple of tracks are kind of pop-rock. My favorite combination is the Scorpions doing a German version of a Sweet song and Sweet doing a Who Cover.

What's The Connection? Questions 2

More of the Question connection. This is part two. Again, these are songs that have the word "Question" in the title. They aren't asking a question nor do they have any Question Marks in the title. Although that would be a good connection someday. I just haven't made it yet. Volume one of the Question connection was in February of this year. This one, like most WTC's goes all over the place in genres. Jade Warrior into Eazy E isn't a smooth transition and niether is Buffalo Springfield into Taylor Swift. But they all have the same theme so it will have to work. The cover is similar and I do love it.
