Grope For Luna

Frank — Thu, 22 Nov 2007 01:55:40 +0000

Sometimes people ask me for advice. They say hey!… Frankie…In this crazy, complicated, mixed up world in which we live in, what can I do to better myself and those around me?

What I just came up with now are two things that are easy to do, and that people have been doing since the dawn of time! Let’s have a quick look at where they intersect. In this, what I call, 10 amazing songs that talk about the moon. (in no particular phases).

1. Stand By Me
Ben E. King

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we’ll see
No I won’t be afraid, no I won’t be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

2. Bark at the Moon
Ozzy

Then when hes found who hes looking for
Listen in awe and youll hear him
Bark at the moon

3. Dancing in the Moonlight
King Harvest

We get in on most every night
when that moon is big and bright
it’s a supernatural delight
everybody’s dancing in the moonlight

4.New Moon on Monday
Duran Duran

New moon on Monday
and a firedance through the night
I stayed the cold day
with a lonely satellite

5. Nilsson
The Moonbeam Song

Or on a fence with bits of crap
Around its bottom
Blown there by a windbeam
Who searches for a moonbeam

6. Tonight You Belong to Me
Steve Martin and Bernadette Peters

Way down, by the stream
How sweet it would seem
Once more just to dream
in the moonlight

7.Pixies
Subbacultcha
what you call it
when you look at the sky in a poetic kind of way
you know when you grope for luna.

8. Joan Baez
Diamonds and Rust

Well I’ll be damned
Here comes your ghost again
But that’s not unusual
It’s just that the moon is full
and you happened to call

9. Moonlight Sonata
Ludwig Van Beethoven

10. Anything Keith Moon played on.

I know there are many more out there, and if anyone reading this has a favorite, please let me know.

Now get your butt outside (pun most definitely intended). Strap on your walkman, IPod or Zune, put on a good mix and contemplate the moon.

In honor of two of our oldest fans, and probably the two people that have seen more Big City Rock shows than anyone else… I present a blog for you to comment away on. Keep the chatter alive.

Hello Everyone

Transformations

New Website

BCR — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 01:13:11 +0000

You must’ve noticed that we’ve scrapped the old site for a new, stripped-down site. This one is made to be a little more interactive - it is really easy for all of us to post and for all of you to comment. We encourage you to do that. We also encourage you to take a look at the links on the bottom of the page - RSS feeds, and links to other Big City Rock sites like our flickr page and our myspace page.

We wish we could be out there on the road seeing all of our fans but we are busy writing new songs in Los Angeles so that we are even better when that time comes again to be on the road playing lots of shows.

Thanks for being with us.
