Listen VII: Foo Fighters’ “Child Actor”

46. That’s how many times the line, “Turn the cameras off”, appeared in “Child Actor”, the third-to-the-last track of the twelfth and newest Foo Fighters studio album, Your Favorite Toy.

Song of the Moment CXVIII: Foo Fighters’ “Of All People”

The lyric video for Foo Fighters’ “Of All People.”

Last Friday, April 14, my favorite band in the world, Foo Fighters, released a new single from their upcoming twelfth studio album, Your Favorite Toy, and it’s titled “Of All People.” As per tradition (mine anyway), I listened to the new song more than once, and I loved the fast, aggressive punk sound that reminded me of a shorter version of “White Limo” (a loud gem from one of my favorite Foos albums, Wasting Light). But after the fifth listen, I had to hit pause because my lyric interpretation almost blew a fuse in me, and not in a good way.

Song of the Moment CXVI: Motörhead’s”Till the End”

For the past several days, I’ve been all ears on all of Motörhead’s studio albums in chronological order, and last Saturday, March 28, I finally reached the last album Lemmy ever recorded with his long-time bandmates (released in 2015), Bad Magic. One song that hit me harder than their usual fast-paced ones was the slow-tempo yet still heavy track “Till The End.”
