SPOONS
Topic: Riff-In-A-Jiff

I originally wanted to do a full tab of the Spoons' "Arias & Symphonies", but I'm in the middle of doing a tab and I'm already committed to the next one, so rather than have the part I've done so far sit around gathering dust, I figure I'll post it to the riff section. Maybe I'll get a tab of the whole song done sometime. It's my favourite Spoons song.

"Arias" was, of course, a big hit for the band in 1982, the highest charting single of their career (#18). It was the title track of their second album, also released in 1982. Tabbed here is the Intro.

(In the live video linked to above the band is playing the song 1 tone lower than the original recording.)

HEART - "HERE IS CHRISTMAS"
Topic: New Tab Postings

I've outlined the history of this album before in a blog post (in this entry), but a quick re-cap: "Here Is Christmas" was the title song of a Christmas album released by the Lovemongers, a group which was a side project of Heart's Ann and Nancy Wilson. The album was released in 1998. With no alterations made to the music, the album was repackaged in 2001 (with the cover seen below) and released as a Heart album. It was renamed Heart Presents A Lovemongers' Christmas. 2004 saw a third release of the disc (with the cover at right), with two new songs added. 

This tab is actually two songs. The album opens with a verse of the Christmas standard "Bring A Torch, Jeanette Isabella" being played on acoustic guitar, then segues directly into "Here Is Christmas".
