Throwback Thursday Part 40


On this day in 1969 humanity witnessed the first ever Moon Landing: Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin from Apollo 11, with Michael Collins left above. Therefore, today's Throwback Thursday is to the Moon. Not moonlight but Moon.

Throwback Thursday Part 36


On this day in 1342 (according to Shire Reckoning) Bilbo Baggins returned to his home at Bag End, but today's Throwback Thursday is not to the Middle Earth. It is to the theme of travel, visiting places and so on.
Because, as the poet once said:
Let us wander where we will,
Something kindred greets us still;
Something seen on vale or hill
Falls familiar on the heart;
So, at scent or sound or sight,
Severed souls by day and night
Tremble with the same delight -
Tremble, half the world apart.
(R.L. Stevenson, Swallows Travel To and Fro)
Today's music is very world music.

Nat King Cole's Birthday


There will never be the voice quite like his. I wanted to fill the background with hearts, but then I said to myself: damn girl, you have more class than this. I'll swoon in silence then.

Throwback Thursday Part 20


Today is Fat Thursday in my country, therefore today's TT will present a list of songs that have something to do with sweets. It might be the title, it might be the lyrics.
Yum!
Not suitable for diabetic people.

Throwback Thursday Part 17


Today's TT is to February 2nd 1962 - when 8 of 9 planets aligned together for the first time in 400 years!! Oh-em-gee!! It means absolutely nothing except for the fact I can write this post 55 years later! This is why the songs are inspired by planets. AKA: some of my faves crammed into a horribly far-fetched category to satisfy my needs!
Enjoy!

Throwback Thursday Part 12


The December has come. So today's Throwback Thursday takes us back to 12 songs for each month. This time - not my association with any of them, only one representing each month because of the lyrics.
Enjoy^^

Since tomorrow is the Education Day in my country (shout-out to myself, YO!), today's Throwback Thursday is about school. However, no The Police, Pink Floyd, Nirvana or Pearl Jam.
Enjoy^^

Throwback Thursday Ep 06


Today's theme is the 50's. This list is just a tiny fraction of what I would love to post, because the 50's gave us a galaxy of great songs. OK, make that two galaxies.
Video heavy^^

Throwback Thursday Ep 01


Why not a new tradition (however weird that sounds)? I will try to go down the memory lane every Thursday and present a handful of MVs from the yore and yonder. 
Maybe...
