As a fan of a wide variety of popular (and not-so-popular) music from the 1950s (and sometimes even earlier) up through the present, one of my bucket list projects for years has been to put together a list of my 100 favorite songs of all time. At some point I decided that, once I got around to figuring that out, I could put it out on a blog, for the infinitesimally small proportion of the Internet world that might be interested. So, here we are. While the Top 100 will be a major focus, I also plan to post on a variety of other musical (and occasionally non-musical) topics, in which you may or may not be interested. (If a particular posting doesn’t ring your bell, you’re only a few clicks away from a dancing cat video on YouTube.)

Great musical minds think alike?


Back in 1994, one-hit wonders US3 had a top ten hit with a song called “Cantaloop,” which was sort of a hip-hop take on Herbie Hancock’s “Canteloupe Island.” I hadn’t heard the song in a long time, although I had bought the CD when it came out.

This past Friday, David Dye on WXPN played the song to begin his 5-7 pm “Funky Friday” show. Later that evening, several songs into his weekly show, Weasel featured the same song.
Coincidence? I think not.
