Welcome to your Thumpin’ Thursday edition of The Laptop Sessions – not pre-empted by power failure!
I’ve got a great song tonight that is an album cut from The Goo Goo Dolls. They are another band I pretty much grew up with, and among the few that I have seen in concert more than once.
Tonight’s song is called “Burnin’ Up” and it’s the 2nd track. Robby Takac, their bassist, sings lead on this song. It’s funny that most of the songs that become singles for radio play are sung by their guitarist Johnny Rzeznik. They have even acknowledged that the songs he sings tend to have more commercial appeal. Takac was actually the original lead singer and sang most of the songs all the way through their first 3 albums.
One of the songs I have lined up for the future is actually a song from an even earlier album and it’s a humorous song as well. If you know their catalog, you will get the song right away (and it’d be appropriate for an acoustic cover – i.e. there is no mention of a baseball bat).
I got to go out golfing for the first time this year today, and shot a miserable +15 on a par 3 course. I did par one hole and get a couple of bogeys, but for the most part I played above par golf. I hope I don’t play this bad tomorrow when I play 9 holes at a regular course. I also have to do training for the next two weeks, so I may be uploading some videos early, and writing posts ahead of time. If you enjoy some early previews, be sure to check my youtube channel.
Well that’s it for this week. Seeya next week!
