http://thoughtsonmelody.blogspot.com/2014/04/a-look-at-hollies.html

Wednesday, April 16, 2014. A Look at the Hollies. I seem to be getting more and more excited about the Hollies. Therefore I decided to watch a DVD called Look Through Any Window 1963–1975. I got this DVD years ago but noticed that I never actually watched it from beginning to end with all the interviews and stuff. This is part of the British Invasion series, although this one wasn't shown on TV at least in Finland. To their last major hits such as Long Cool Woman. And The Air That I Breathe. In the arran...

Thoughts on Melody: A Good Moment with Egotrippi

http://thoughtsonmelody.blogspot.com/2014/06/a-good-moment-with-egotrippi.html

Monday, June 16, 2014. A Good Moment with Egotrippi. Has been one of my favorite bands ever since I heard their hit song. Back in 2003. I had obviously suddenly developed an ear for great power pop music because I liked the song so much that I decided to check out more of the band's music and soon ended up owning practically the entire back catalogue. In 2004 came Egotrippi's biggest hit. For now it seems that things have changed. In October 2013 I heard Egotrippi's new album Pilvien alla, maan päällä.

Sunday, April 20, 2014. Suddenly It's the Tremeloes. Even though I seem to be listening to hundreds of Hollies. Songs at the moment, I have also dedicated a good amount of time to another UK group, the Tremeloes. Considering how good they are I didn't hear much about them until I had already become aware of pretty much every other significant UK band of the 60s. I listened to a compilation by the Tremeloes a few times until my brain realized that there is indeed something really magical here. These guys ...
