Music Turns Me On


This one is so weird. It’s only available to stream on bandcamp. But the multi-instrumentalist, whose stuff this is, Tom Marolda, has had one fucking storied career. I’ll link his website for anyone interested. He was nominated for a Grammy for the Stayin’ Alive soundtrack. He’s recorded and written with Richie Sambora. 

From his website: “Besides writing and recording songs for all the major TV shows from “Americas Next Top Model” to the Theme Song for the CBS INSIDER Show, Marolda also has songs in many major films including "STAYIN' ALIVE" starring John Travolta, "DAYS OF THUNDER" starring Tom Cruise, "ONCE IN THE LIFE" starring Lawrance Fishburn, "CARMEN" starring Beyonce Knowles, "O" starring Josh Hartman, "ROCKY BALBOA" starring Sylvester Stallone, “The Expendables” and “Beverly Hills Chihuahua”.”


And this is some of the Maxusly dumb pop music I’ve heard in a while. 


1981 might be the worst year for music in history.
