It’s been several weeks since the last classic Friday..why? pffft I wish I knew!

Well after a ‘heatwave’ this week in Toronto, it’s nice and rainy…so here are some of my favourite classic rain oriented songs (or videos in the rain) in non-chronological order:

Jamiroquai – Deeper Underground (1998)

Filter – One (1994)

I have watched this movie WAY too many times…

Gene Kelly – Singing In The Rain (1952)

Here’s that one from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid….funny thing is, there’s no rain when the song is played in the movie…. *shakes fist*

BJ Thomas – Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head (1969)

The Beatles – Rain (1966)

And of course….so some of you don’t complain, here’s:

Guns n’ Roses – November Rain (1992)

Have a safe and pleasant weekend y’all!

So much for Saturday posts. HA! Well last Saturday’s party, Return of the Red Eyes, was a smashing success thanks to all of you that showed up, the last minute change in DJ lineup (Perry Mejer replacing Peter Godzina and Nigel Best replacing Jeff Button), and everyone getting very silly .

It was such a great success, that we’ve been asked to do another party there. So stay tuned for details about our Beat Axis party on May 21st, 2010!

Back to the classics for today. Over the past couple weeks, I’ve been extremely busy and quite happy with all that’s been going on in my life so this weekend, we’re going to look at some happy classics that have always put a smile on my face, no matter what.

Tom Petty – Runnin’ Down A Dream (1989)

Starship – We Built This City (1985)

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones – The Rascal King (1997)

Len – Steal My Sunshine (1999)

And a song I just couldn’t get enough playing on stage a bit too much

Eagle Eye Cherry – Save Tonight (1998)

Well on this sunny yet cold Friday in Toronto, I think it’s better we thaw out with some good 90′s alternative/rock.

Let’s start off with this brilliant one from Ocean Colour Scene (I feel sorry for you if you never heard of Ocean Colour Scene)

Ocean Colour Scene – Riverboat Song (1996)

Anyone remember the time when Manic Street Preachers were THE band?
(didn’t last too long but was still a point in time)

Manic Street Preachers – If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next (1999)

Oh then there was Everclear….how I miss em

Everclear – Everything To Everyone (1997)

Then there was Reef….other than the following song which by fluke became so popular, I never heard anything else by them:

Reef – Place Your Hands (1997) (the video can be a strain on your eyes…you’ve been warned)

90′s Rock/Alternative had a lot of fun tracks as compared to this past decade where everyone’s been pumping out such emo garbage (there are exceptions of course)

Anyone remember Semisonic for more than Closing Time? I do

Semisonic – Singing In My Sleep (1998)

On that note, I’m gonna call an end to this Friday Re-View). Thanks for listening and have a great great weekend
