Loser of the Year

The Bicycle Thieves

27 January 2006

When it comes to tracking down new music, I'd put myself in the category of “Big Game Hunter.”  On the other hand,  I also enjoy when the music finds me. Sometimes music finds me in the cinema when the music director / coordinator (whose job I covet) surprises me with a brilliant choice of music —old or new — that perfectly compliments the images on the screen. Sometimes music finds me when I'm watching TV. Sometimes music finds me when I'm reading. I read about music a lot. Sometimes music finds me in conversation: “you should listen to these guys, they're really good, etc.” Sometimes music finds me in a club when an unknown opening band makes itself a tough act to follow. And sometimes, best of all, music just finds me in the form of a gift. Now don't read that as a solicitation — it's just a segue. I make no claims for “discovering” today's song. That honor goes to my friend Suzanne’s daughter, Emily who has shared a lot of good music with me over the years. Today's Happy Medium Song of the Day is by a local band called The Bicycle Thieves who coincidentally, I'm leaving to see in a few minutes. I hope the concert is as good as this song: “Loser of the Year,” from the album The Second Place Confession.  (Please use the comments box to share your thoughts.)
