Sunday Session 3 (2012)

I've been a bad link up blogger it's been just under a month since I linked up with Thea's Sunday Session and shared in some great music with our bloggers and listen to the music they like. 

If you want to join in with the fun you can just click on the link that says Thea's in the above sentence or click on the Sunday Sessions button to the right of the screen. 

When I was growing up I loved Adam Ant's music and thanks to Adam Hills and his show Adam Hills In Gordon Street Tonight I've been reintroduced to Adam Ant as his brought out some new music this year. 

The first two clips are favourites of mine






This last one is called Vince Taylor and is about a singer who had a group called Vince Taylor and The Playboys in the 50's & 60's but how drug abuse, drinking & personal problems really played havoc on him.



If you want to know more about Vince Taylor just do a Google search on him.

Sunday Session 1 (2012)

I'm teaming up with Thea again this year to play Sunday Session with her. To play along all you have to do is click either of the links in this blog or click the Sunday Session button that's on the left of the screen link your blog with your songs you love to her blog & your done.

Now to sort of take Thea's lead and post two songs that I loved hearing through out 2011 (and always do love hearing) there were many but I'll stay with two as I know that a lot more people will be linking up and may have the same songs if I list all the ones I loved hearing.

The first song is by Kate Perry & was a number 1 hit for her.



The next one is two lovely singers singing a song together and while watching the movie Red Dog a few days ago I fell in love with it all over again.



Can't wait to hear your songs

Sunday Session 43

Yeah today is Sunday Session day, what is that you ask? Sunday Session is where the sweet lovely Thea posts some songs that have memories for her or just great to listen to. To join in there is no rules the only one is that when you post your songs you link your post up with her blog.


My two fav songs this week are This first one is cause a lot of my twitter friends have been doing their places up.



and yes I think I may have posted this one before but I wanted to post it again as Spicks & Specks will no longer be on Australian TV after 7 wonderful years gracing our screens & I do love this part so much. (I love all of the Spicks & Specks but some parts are better)

Sunday Session 42

It's been a long time (to long in fact) since I joined in a Sunday Session with the lovely Thea but now I'm ready to play again the rules are simple Thea has no rules only that if your going to play along you link your blog to hers.

Here are my two favourite songs for this week.








Hope you join up as I can't wait to hear yours

Sunday Session 37

My what a long time for me has passed between I done some Sunday Sessions with the sweet Thea I'm hoping to not let as much time pass in between Sunday Sessions again as I love it as I'm sure you will. The idea behind Sunday Session is you grab a song (or 2 or more) usually Thea posts an oldie and a newbie (but I love more the oldie songs then newies so hence why I post more newbies). You then link you songs up on your blog to Thea's blog by pressing the Sunday Session button to the right of the screen.

As some of you know about 4 to 5 days ago I had to attend the Funeral of a dear Uncle called Uncle Wally ( or Walter as his real name was) I wish I'd knew him a lot longer then I did as I only learnt at the Funeral of his passion for Buddy Holly songs I also love Buddy Holly and his songs.

This week for Sunday Session I'm going to play the two Buddy Holly songs that was played at Wallys Funeral

Sunday Session 32

YEAHHHHHHH it's Sunday Session time once again with the lovely Thea who every Sunday posts two or more songs usually one being an oldie and one being a newbie. Then gets other people with blogs to join up if they wish. A lot of people who know me know that I usually only post oldies as most of the new songs that come out these days to my ears and eyes are crap but there are some exceptions.

The first one I am going to post I grew up with and pops into my head from time to time it's a great song by the Brotherhood Of Man (On a side note I did have a major crush on the lead male singer)



The next one I'm going to post is another one I fell in love with as I was growing up it's by The 5th Dimension ( Love the small 45 record brings back memories the song starts playing around the 26 second mark)



Time to creep into the 1980's here with this song that I use to play full volume when my parents weren't home.



Now to slide all the way back 1976 and listen to some Tina Charles when this use to be played a lot at discos, even the blue light disco's.

Sunday Session 31

It's that time again, time for Sunday Session with the lovely Thea The idea is to post an oldie and newbie on your blog (although you can post just oldies, like I do or just newbies) then link up with Thea's blog by either hiting her name in this blog or hitting the Sunday Session button on the side of this blog. Here are my picks for this week.

The first one comes to mind any time I talk about how when adults went to school as kids we had a lot more freedom then kids do these days cause they are wrapped in to much cotten wool with all the new school rules etc.



The other one I always think of when I see a truck on the road. (Make sure you have tissues handy)



I got one more its a parody song, now don't get me wrong I love animals have a cat of my own but sometimes these parody songs are just so funny & bring a smile to my face.

Sunday Session 25

First up let me say sorry for not joining in the Sunday Session for the last two weeks but I have been busy with my Uni studies, now here it is Sunday once again and that means its time for Thea's Sunday Session where you post two of your favourite songs and link it up to her blog.

My first pick for this Sunday come about cause I was chatting to a dear friend called maidinaustralia  (who on a side note has a awesome blog of her own) on Twitter, about what Alcholic drinks I haven't tasted as yet and one of them I haven't tasted is a Pina Colada which reminded me of this favourite song of mine. 



Now I don't know about copyright laws so I wont post the next song but will give you a link to it, It's a parody of another song & its wonderfully done by Stephen Colbert and The Saturday Night Live gang. Please press here if you want to go listen to it

Sunday Session 22

For the last two Sundays I have missed playing Thea's Sunday Session due to the fact I've had the flu but I'm back this week with heaps of songs to post to join in this week and for the two posts I've missed over the other two weeks.

The idea is you put a oldie & newbie song up on your blog then link to Thea's blog and some of us are also now linking to Natasha's  blog as well, so don't forget to check out her blog as well, you can link to both. 

My first pick for this week is Just Can't Get Enough by Depeche Mode 

The next one is not so much a song but a nice piece of music called Apache from the Shadows, there is nothing like sitting with a group of friends over a drink and just listening to some music without any lyrics to it Do you agree?




Another great piece of music without lyrics I love listening to is Classical Gas by Mason Williams watch the flim clip & let me know what you think about the surprise around the 45 second mark. 




The next song I love and fell in love with it more when I heard the Great Dame Judi Dench sing it not only is she a great actress but she has a wonderful voice The song is called Send In The Clowns I play this song everytime Hubby & I are foolish in our thoughts to each other at times.



Now if you can hang on I got two more songs left to post the next one is Roy Orbison's Candy Man



The other Candy Song I love is the one from the Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory movie and is called The Candy Man



Well hope you enjoyed all my music this week and that I've given you all enough music to cover me being away for the last two weeks.

When does 2011 start for you?

Here it is the 4th of January 2011 and the New Year is only really starting for me this year as this is when people head back to work and you can make them calls to companies,Dr's,Dentists, and other places that close down over the New Year period. This is the time I start hunting around for a appt diary for this year as most places sell them at half price now compared to full price before the New Year.

This year is already shaping up to be a busy one with me aiming to lose a kilo a week till I'm down to 55 or 60 kilos, for those of you interested in following my weight lose you can follow it here . Also I'm planning on doing some sort of study via correspondence course before Easter rolls around so will be spending this week and maybe next week checking out if I need to enrol now or if I can enrol closer to Easter.

Also hoping to meet up quiet a number of times with some twitter friends who live in and around the South East Queensland area, all of my twitter friends have been a great source of new friendship for me and have made me feel very wlecome online but my next hurdle comes in metting a group of them. I've meet one twitter friend one to one and that was lovely but when it comes to a group even if  know the people I get worried and scared if I haven't meet them in real lift. I'm not going to put people's names on here but all my friends know who you are (I hope you do) 


I'm looking forward to what the new year is going to bring me even though I know some of what it's going to bring me the rest of it will be surprises even if it means hitting a rough patch here and there I look forward to them cause its through rough patches that part of me learns to grow stronger. 

What about you, when does 2011 start for you? What are you persoanlly looking forward to this year for you and/or your family?
