Sounds of Summer

Sounds of Summer!

If you're planning on what type of music to listen to while you're enjoying the outdoor summer weather, please browse our Bliss Music Collection. Since summer is a time for reruns on TV, why not check out our Movies & TV section? Fans of Mad Men will enjoy the music soundtrack, as will fans of Empire or Glee. We also have a TV Land presents Favorite TV Theme Songs, but don't hate us if you  find yourself whistling the Andy Griffith theme song all day! If you're a fan of the series The Americans, try Now That's What I Call the 80s! to get you back into the mood. If you're a Downton Abbey fan, we have the soundtrack for that, too.

Enjoy your summer!

My name is Mr. Bloom and I'm from New Rochelle

The late great song parodist Allan Sherman mentions New Rochelle in "Shine On, Harvey Bloom," his very funny take on the popular Tin Pan Alley song "Shine On, Harvest Moon."  And speaking of harvest moons, the one tonight (Sunday, September 27th) will also be the first super moon lunar eclipse in 32 years!
