 published: 2011-12-25Weekend Download Recommendations: Warm Songs For An Unseasonably Warm Christmas To celebrate the season, but more-so the temperature, this Weekend Download Recommendations has a list full of fair weather music. Some of these tracks are made for a nice and balmy Christmas and others are just made for some nice and balmy weather. Because, why not? Each track rises to the occasion, just like a wave swelling open for surfers on a hot, sweet beach.   published: 2011-12-19Weekend Download Recommendations: CB's Favorite Artists Do Christmas It’s that time of the year again, folks. The Holidays are among us, and while most are just getting into the jolly swing of things, others have been in the holiday spirit since Thanksgiving. To either your ire or cheer, songs like “Silver & Gold,” “White Christmas,” “The Grinch,” Amazing Grace,” “The Little Drummer Boy,” “Joy to the World” and “Jingle Bells” have been circulating the radio waves, malls and department stores for a while.  published: 2011-11-28Weekend Download Recommendations: The Music Of The Muppets This Weekend Downloads Recommendations celebrates some of the tracks and covers that have made the Muppets memorable. We’ll celebrate some sad and some poignant, some overblown and overtly vivacious tracks. As a prerequisite, I would like to point out only Muppet videos will be included, here. We’re talking full blown Muppet movies Muppets, so poor Elmo’s great little songs are unfortunately nixed. Secondly, I know there was some great stuff with live guest stars over the years, -especially on The Muppet Show - but sometimes it seems like the prowess of the star kind of overrides the intention of the track.  published: 2011-11-13Weekend Download Recommendations: Adam Sandler's Best Songs I still hold the comedian in highest regard because he gave us films like The Wedding Singer, Happy Gilmore, Bullet Proof and five hilarious comedy albums that all featured his talents as a musician. Everyone needs to stop hating Sandler, because the comedian doesn’t deserve this shit storm. Even though his latest movies have sucked, nobody should forget how much he’s made us laugh in the past.  published: 2011-11-07Weekend Download Recommendations: Great Music Used To Celebrate Goals In Hockey This Weekend Download Recommendations celebrates those fuckers who get paid to spend careful time deliberating what song to play when a hockey team scores a goal, who play DJ during time-outs and breaks, and who give the ice girls a reason to shake their bums as they clean up debris. There are as many winners as there are losers. Just note your hockey team is disqualified if it employs one of the following goal songs: “Rock’N Roll Part 2” –excepting New Jersey’s “You Suck” addition - “Song 2,” and “Zombie Nation.”  published: 2011-10-30Weekend Download Recommendations: Halloween Songs To Play At Your Party Halloween is here again, and with it comes many different things. Some people get their kids ready to go out trick-or-treating for candy or older folks might join in on the fun as well. While some people like to throw Halloween parties with required costumes, apple cider and lot’s of alcohol.  published: 2011-10-23Weekend Download Recommendations: Great Songs Featured Perfectly In Movies If you're as obsessed with the business of entertainment as I am, you know there is no more satisfying cocktail than a good song playing over a great movie scene (or vice versa). I'm not talking original scores or other music created for a film, I mean whatever tunes the filmmakers found that matched their work so perfectly that it could only take the scene to the next level. In my opinion, no good movie was ever made that didn't include amazing music-- you cannot survive without it.  published: 2011-10-16Weekend Download Recommendations: Clarkson, Underwood And American Idol's Finest This Weekend Download Recommendations celebrates first albums, best performances, and a round of singles from some of Idol’s finest and a few in between. Stick around for a compelling list featuring shots at Chris Brown, hockey references, and a whole lot of eyeliner. Plus, a variety of music suggestions.  published: 2011-10-10Weekend Download Recommendations: Science Fiction Music With Rush, Dr. Octagon, Black Sabbath, Muse and Bowie Get your helmets on, prepare for flight and don’t forget your partner; the lean mean killing machine, Iron Man. It’s a long distant to the South Side of the Sky, so let’s get this space ship in orbit.  published: 2011-09-25Weekend Download Recommendations: Tom Waits, Louis Armstrong And Others Do Disney This Weekend Download Recommendations is all about some good covers of some Disney classics. It’s extremely difficult to get a license to re-do a trademarked Disney song. Those who have made the effort deserve credit for trying, but luckily, for every subpar Selena Gomez rendition of “Cruella De Vil”, there’s a Replacements version to prove there is always a little more room left in our hearts, and our iTunes, for more Disney magic.  published: 2011-09-11Weekend Download Recommendations: Songs Radio Stations Avoided After 9/11 The Clear Channel Memorandum of 2001 wasn’t exactly a ban, but it wasn’t a wild rumor, either. As beloved classics disappeared from the radio, word mistakenly spread that many of the most cherished solo artists and bands in history were barred from the radio. Now we know it was simply an advisory, unenforced but still powerful enough to resonate. Unfortunately, the list was neither completely tactful or in good taste  published: 2011-09-05Weekend Download Recommendations: Songs And Albums To Help Lil Wayne Get Over His Crappy Form Of Hip-Hop During this installment of Weekend Download Recommendations, I’m going to suggest a list of songs and albums for Lil Wayne to consider listening before his next trip into the studio.
