One Track Mind: Pantera, “Piss” (2012)
So the unveiling of Pantera’s only unreleased song comes with a lot of excitement for this old metalhead, and just a little bit of disappointment after hearing it.
One Track Mind: Blue Öyster Cult, “Burnin’ for You” (1981; 2012 reissue)
Everybody remembers “Don’t Fear The Reaper” — Blue Öyster Cult’s No. 12 hit from 1976 — and I admit, I’ve always been a fan of the song’s false ending
One Track Mind: A Fragile Tomorrow, “Waters Part” (2012)
A Fragile Tomorrow continues to explore 1980s indie-rock sounds here, even as they steadily build upon those core influences.
One Track Mind: Curtis Mayfield, “Freddie’s Dead” (1972)
As the 1960s turned into the 1970s, soul — like rock — got tougher and edgier.
One Track Mind: Clara Ponty, “Sunshine” (2012)
When I learned that Clara Ponty was coming out with a new album, I got curious, and to be completely upfront about it, I was curious because she is the daughter of famed violinist Jean-Luc Ponty.
One Track Mind: White Wizzard, “High Speed GTO” (2008)
It was one of those perfect spring-like Saturday afternoons. The sun was shining, the temperature was just right, and there was a freshness in the air.
One Track Mind: Linkin Park, “Numb” (2003)
This kind of “modern rock” does nothing for me. Even if I was able to ignore the ever-present my-life-sucks theme (which is pretty danged tough to do) the music alone would drive me away.
One Track Mind: Hiroe Sekine, “Evidence” (2012)
Over time I’ve found that the genius of the singular compositional style of Thelonious Monk manifests itself better the further away it is played from its original bebop context.
One Track Mind: Nile Rodgers on “Like a Virgin,” “Rapper’s Delight,” “Upside Down”
On this special edition of Something Else Reviews’ One Track Mind, we hand the reins over to super-producer Nile Rodgers, of Chic fame.
