Music has always been a big part of my life and sometimes the right song can evoke such powerful memories.
These are those stories! :)
Tonight's theme features the King of Pop and not even a delayed start and lack of the Zamboni before the first game was going to stop us! :)
One of the quickest themes to come together but make no mistake, this is no mellow mix but you're going to be feeling just fine knowing it's 4:20 somewhere, man! :)
When it came to coming up with tonight's theme, my younger son Alex came to the rescue with the theme idea faster than a speeding bullet! :)
A new season is upon us and not just in terms of Ironclad hockey! :)
We continue our tribute to the brave men and woman aboard Artemis II and their historic lap round the moon as they will be splashing down in the Pacific Ocean about one hour prior to puck drop for the first game...
What else could we possibly do to kick off the 13th season of Ironclad but honour the most amazing story in the news this week. And no, it's not all of the silliness in the Middle East... :)
Manticore captures the Phoenix Cup and Hydras win the Solara Cup to finish off a wonderful Season XII of Ironclad Hockey! :)
The playoffs continue with seeding in the finals at stake! But first, we say goodbye to Dash Crofts, a 1970's soft rock icon who left us a couple of days earlier...
We're into the home stretch of the playoffs and these playlists are designed to ramp up the power going into the team warm-up period!
Éirinn go Brách! Were that my luck as good as the Irish as the speakers being off at the rink rather buggered the set on St Patrick's Day. But no worries, the set went off without a hitch on the Friday following... :)
Eric Clapton leaves The Yardbirds on this date in 1965 over creative differences. I think it's safe to say he's done all right since then... :)
Boston may be a rather dirty word to diehard fans of the Carolina Hurricanes (former Hartford Whalers who were stuck between the Tri-State area and Boston!) but in the world of music, there are very few rock bands that could ever match their talent.
The "Let It Be" single drops on this date 56 years ago ahead of Paul McCartney announcing that he'd be leaving The Beatles...
Remember how I said picking the theme was occasionally a real hard task like last Friday's? Yeah, well tonight's theme was the exact opposite... ;)
What do Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins, and Billy Joel have in common? The theme for tonight's playlist! The bit of revenge and the ballistic trajectory of some Kit Kats were a very happy bonus... :)
It started with a requested song from a member of the Wendigos of the Helios division which led to a slightly disturbing discovery...
What better way to celebrate being opposed to censorship than a playlist inspired by Styx's "Kilroy Was Here" album on the 43rd anniversary of it's release? :)
It's a golden playlist in honour of the US Women's hockey team winning gold in the Olympics in Milano!
We actually had a choice between two movies for tonight's theme. But there was really only one choice we could have made...
Requests on the hits line bring the spice to the set and one of the three requested tracks most certainly did that! :)
Three guesses and the first two don't count as to what tonight's theme might be about... ;)
You know we love the themes but there are some nights that don't seem to have a theme. Except they do... :)
These tunes are for those who celebrated the Superb Owl a wee bit too much... :)
I don't get the sport played during the Superb Owl at all...I'm just all in for heading over to my mate's for some munchies and a fun time. But that doesn't mean that I can't throw a few tunes out there before the first game for those who celebrate a game where the "ball" is not actually ball-shaped and is rarely propelled by the foot...
The lyrics may be catchy and fun to sing but if a track is going to really grab my attention, the instrumentals have to be top notch! And one of the best instrumental groups out there is The Alan Parsons Project... :)
