Friday Jukebox 5.22.15: B.B. King, Part 2

Another week of paying tribute to the legend himself B.B. King, who passed away last Friday at the age of 89. Here is another one of his hits, "Rock Me Baby" from 1980. Enjoy!

For those traveling this weekend on Memorial Day weekend, stay safe and don't drink too much alcohol. Thank you.

Friday Jukebox 5.15.15: BB King, 89 (Part 1?)

This is part one of my miniature tribute to the man, the legend, B.B. 'Blues Boy' King. He passed away at 89 early Friday morning despite being in hospice care in Las Vegas. He was born a Mississippi boy and grew with audiences worldwide, playing with the best in the world. He has had diabetes issues as well during his time. "The Thrill is Gone" is his best work ever, released in 1969.

Friday Jukebox 7.11.14: Tribute to Bobby Womack

Two weeks ago, we lost a great legend of blues by the name of Bobby Womack. Womack died at age 70. His biggest hit was from 1974, "If You Think You're Lonely Now." From the album, The Poet.

Friday Jukebox 7.5.13: A Small Tribute to Bobby 'Blue' Bland

Two weeks ago, Bobby 'Blue' Bland passed away at the age of 83. He had numerous exquisite masterpieces, including this gem, "Ain't no Love in the Heart of the City," from the 1974 LP album Dreamer. The band Whitesnake would later cover this gem on a live album of theirs. Just recently, a Jay-Z track used samples from this tune (produced by the idiot Kanye West). Apparently, the instrumental from that Jay-Z song was used recently in a Chrysler 'Imported from Detroit' ad.

Malmo 2013 39 For 39: Amandine Bourgeois "L'enfer et Moi"

Now it my first review of the Big 6 at Malmo 2013, beginning with "L'enfer et Moi," by Amandine Bourgeois, who will represent France at EUROVISION LVIII next month.

France, along with Great Britain, Germany, Spain, Italy and the host Sweden already qualified for the Grand Final on May 18.

This is a piece that is breathtaking, considering of it's abundance of guitar riffs and the 'bluesy' atmosphere this song has. Take a listen:

Will this be a winner? It could definitely be a winner. No need to go through a semifinal here. Also, comparing this to "Echo" by Anggun Cipta Sasmi from last year, I would say, both are good, but this one is the far superior one. No argument.

You Beauty!

The Australian Rules football mark. A BIG integral part of the game. No matter what level-AFL, SANFL, WAFL, etc. it's an important part.

From Alex Jesaulenko's Mark of the Year in 1970 to Gary Moorcroft's in 2001 and Ashley Sampi's in 2004, these are the moments that makes it spectacular.

Two of the best mark of the year contenders in the AFL:

Nic Naitanui against Carlton Round 14 (my pick of mark of the year):

And here's Andrew "1AW" Walker's against Essendon on Saturday in Round 18:

Both are spectacular. But here's the difference. Naitanui's mark got 110,000 hits while Walker's got 2+ million hits. Thanks Yahoo for getting more people in the states who don't know about it to expose them to the sport! But I wish we can see more of Nic Nat's mark! Six more rounds to go and who knows who top both Walker and Naitanui for a car? Stay tuned.
