Ana Kiri Releases New Single "Beat of Freedom"
Thanksgiving weekend is a time for family and pondering our roots. Ana Kiri returns with the perfect song for the occasion. "Beat of Freedom" is a vulnerable, inspirational song by Ukrainian born and raised, Ana Kiri. The single has an epic sound reminiscent of "Hall of Fame" by The Script, which utilizes Pop, Rock, and Soul to drive its impactful nature, and preach hope and peace. The song itself is an Easter egg to its overall message - its length is 3 minutes and 33 seconds long. "333" is an angel number and stands for the Holy Trinity, symbolizing hope.

River Of Song
Intro When I did my “Runaway Train” playlist (see the end of this one) I was really surprised at how many songs there were called “Runaway Train” and I do like to put things together with a theme, and a friend of mine loves the Joni Mitchell song “River”, so I wondered could I put together a playlist of songs that have the word “River” in the title.

Nuggets
Introduction When I work from home I listen to a lot of music over a lot of genres. Because of my age I listen to music that was released way before some of my friends were born, but then again I listen to a lot of music that was released before I was born so just because music is not “of your time” does not mean you should not listen to it.

Fans Choice: 30 Favorite New Wave Songs
Celebrate Your Life!!! Recently, I conducted a survey of 155 people asking what their favorite New Wave songs are. I have long been a fan of New Wave music. It started in the summer of 1978 when I bought the single "The Robots" by Kraftwerk. I was into this futuristic thing which began a year earlier with the film Star Wars. This electronic dance tune was the catalyst that helped me branch out into the world of New Wave music.

A Edible Playlist
Introduction My last playlist was based on anatomy and is linked at the end of this piece. During one of the songs, “Arms of Mary” by The Sutherland Brothers and Quiver I recalled that my favourite song by the Sutherland Brothers was “The Pie” and that might be a good pretext for another playlist. The fact that one of my friends told me that they keep discovering new music to listen to from these playlists inspired me to create this one.

An Anatomical Playlist
The Intro I was listening to some songs and "Magic Man" by Heart came on, and I thought that could be an interesting theme for a playlist, parts of the body either in the song title or the band name. I will probably miss a lot but I am just going to dive in and see where this takes me.

Ranking Every Song From "Harry's House" Based On Written Quality
I have been a fan of Harry Styles for almost a decade now. From his One Direction days through to his first solo album and now onto his third album. His self-titled first album showed songwriting promise. As part of One Direction, he had been part of songwriting in some of the latter albums, but it was never part of the intention behind the group.

A Brief History of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction"
The Rolling Stones (1965) It was May 1965 and Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, while still mostly asleep, grabbed his guitar and a portable tape recorder and recorded the opening guitar riff and lyric "can't get no satisfaction." After about two minutes of acoustic guitar you can hear him drop his pick and then 40 minutes of snoring. Two days later Mick Jagger wrote the lyrics and on May 12, 1965 the Stones went into RCA studios in Hollywood, CA and recorded the song that would become their first worldwide #1 hit. To be certain the stones did have other hits previous to "Satisfaction" such as "Not Fade Away," "It's All Over Now," "Time Is On My Side," and "Play With Fire." But none came close to the magnitude of popularity as was held by "Satisfaction."

And Then There Was Pub Rock
Introduction I have been listening to “Goodbye Nashville, Hello Camden Town” which is a compilation of songs that went under the label “Pub Rock”. This was a peculiarity to the UK, and was a reaction to the overblown glam bands and stadium rock excesses that occurred in the thoroughly seventies.
