Paramore Song Climbs Charts;NBA Playoffs

Paramore,active since 2004,is Hayley Williams,vocals;Jeremy Davis,bass;and Taylor York,guitar.Williams,25,changes her hair a lot,but what doesn't change is her feel for the music.This was shown Thursday night on "Late Night with Seth Meyers" on NBC.It wasn't a canned vocal,but she went flat out for her viewers nationwide with "Ain't It Fun" from their latest album "Paramore"(2013).
The song,which was featured several weeks ago in this blog,is currently climbing the charts,to the band's delight.It's a jazzy sort of tune that got up to #21 on Billboard magazine's Hot 100 chart this week,and is #1 on the iTunes Alternatives Charts in the US.
The Paramore song that is featured here today,"Careful," is from their album "brand new eyes" and the video,taking us on a world tour with the band,was posted to YouTube three years ago.It had 11,518,000 views as of Friday afternoon.It's a true rocker,which earns it a lot of credit from this blog.*
The Rolling Stones' "Beast of Burden" was posted to YouTube a year ago.It's got guitar solos by both Ronnie Wood and founding member Keith Richards.The Stones are gearing up for the resumption of their 14 On Fire Tour at the end of May in Western Europe.*
Our quiet girl is Holly Throsby of Sydney,Australia with her "Making a Fire," appropriate since winter is now approaching down under.*
Nothing was quiet about the NBA Playoffs Friday night.Two teams that are hanging on for dear life stayed alive as the Chicago Bulls slipped by the Washington Wizards 100-97,and the Houston Rockets downed the Portland Trailblazers 121-116.James Harden led the Rockets to their crucial win with his 37 points.Both the Bulls and the Rockets are down in the series 2-1,and no team has ever recovered from being down 3-1 in the Playoffs.
