I'm getting quite addicted to the Scissor Sisteers album - it's Elton John and the Bee Gees for the 21st Century, with a brilliant dancey version of Comfortably Numb too.... pure cheesetastic stuff.

Also listening to By The Way by the Chilli Peppers - esp Cabron and Throw away your Television.... and HA by the wonderful Talvin Singh....

Digging back into the archives, I've been listening to "Reading Writing & Arithmatic" by the Sundays way too much. I looked up the lyrics on the net the other day, so now I even understand what they are. I've had that album for years (on semi-permananent loan) mostly because I always liked "Here's Where The Story Ends" but lately I realized the whole album stands up too.

I've also been on a big fat R.E.M. kick lately, which happens every 3 or 4 months or so (mostly the older stuff.)

The first single by Maroon 5 was excellent too, but can't remember its bloomin' name. Very soulful / Paul Rogers-y.

Not my favorite by any means, but a new song just quirky and catchy enough to stick in my head--

"Float On" by Modest Mouse, or "The Scary Sheep Video".

I've caught it several times as one of MTV's Buzzworthy clips while exercising in the morning, and it grabbed my attention as something different from all the pop and mainstream rock out there. The singer reminds me of David Byrne and Roger Waters, and the jangly guitar hook and bassline get me going. Fun song.

The remake is by O.A.R. (...of a revolution), a group out of Columbus, OH.

I've only heard the full version of the remake from a live MP3. But iTunes actually has the studio version available for 99 cents. And you can hear the first couple of minutes (maybe less) of the studio version at their website: http://www.ofarevolution.com/site2003/rrpop/rrpop.html

Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Thanks, Scott.

I understand your concerns, Cobie. Remaking Led Zep is like standing on a building and hoping no one notices when you jump off naked.

But O.A.R.'s version is faithful to the original. In fact, it was about midway through it when I noticed there was an extra guitar part and that it wasn't Robert Plant singing.

Since we are talking remakes, what is everyone's (or anyone's) opinion of Limp Bizkit's remake of The Who's Behind Blue Eyes?

Generally I like it. The background spacey music is distracting and that weird middle section "Discover" is just maddening. Otherwise I think its a pretty decent cover.

Don't really have a favorite from it, but I'm really enjoying the "Fallen" album by Evanescence. The cover used to haunt me everytime I saw it in the store (that girl is way past cute!!!), and after hearing good things about them around on the board, checked out some 30-second samples of their sound via Amazon. After that, I had to have the album!

My latest favorite song is by... Ashlee Simpson.

Ashlee has a little edge to her, unlike the chirp-pop fluff of her sister Jessica.

Lash! Don't be ashamed -- I love that song (yes, it's called "pieces of me", big surprise)... I'm such a teenage girl at heart - I'm also really into Avril's latest "Happy Ending" (I think that's the title) - Slipknot's going to have to release another single for me to regain my masculinity...

I've heard a couple songs from Ashlee's cd... I am actually considering getting it...

PEICES OF ME is still my latest favorite song, by the way.

The only new song that comes close to that is 1985... but it hasn't overtaken Ashlee yet, for me.

Oh, and I like the new Linkin Park single too... definite potential to overtake Ashlee's spot as my latest favorite song. We'll see.

The Killerz have that whole 80's dance vibe going, and it works well. It's not a retro feel, just that something missing from standard radio pop, rock, and R&B.

Oh my god -- I'm not going to be able to get that song out of my head!! I likes it!! We'll see if the U.S. can take a Spice Girls sequel... (I couldn't tell which girl was which, but I liked the redhead in blue).

Oh yeah, but my latest fav is "C'mon, C'mon" by the Von Bondies. It's the theme song for that FX show "Rescue Me."

I've had a new one leapfrog over all other contenders! The song I look most forward to on the radio now is the latest BLACK EYED PEAS release... but a question.

I'm certain they're saying "Let's Get It Started" but when I looked up the cd there is a song listed as "Let's Get Retarded". Am I hearing wrong, reading wrong or both?

Whatever, the song is WAY good... I'm gonna have to get the BEP cd I guess.

Hey Lash, "Let's Get Retarded" is the original, unedited album version. The released version is "Let's Get It Started" cause well, I don't think they wanted to offend people. I think newer versions of the CD might have bother versions of the song - I'm not sure. Sample un-P.C. lyric from "Let's Get Retarded" : "Bob ya head la epilepsy, up inside your club or in your bentley"

Selections from my latest playlist:
Death Cab For Cutie - "Title And Registration"

Jamie Cullum - "These are the Days"

His stuff has been out for a couple of years and is, well primarily French, but check out Sinclair - "Come Closer" for an English song by this funky Frenchmen. My favorite French song by him is "C'est Si Bonne Comme Ca"

Scissor Sisters - Most of the album but especially "It Can't Come Quickly Enough" and "Take Your Mama"

Keane - "Bend and Break"

Michael Buble - "Spider-man Theme" (Have you heard this version? Its swingin' baby!)

Finger Eleven - "One Thing"

Polyphonic Spree - "Hold Me Now"

Also the Garden State soundtrack has a lot of good stuff on it...(Frou Frou, Shins, etc.)

Fan's of Maroon 5's singles should check out there non-single stuff like "Sunday Morning" or "Woman" from "Spider-man 2"

Posted by CJ Taylor on :
 
Finger Eleven is drastically overplayed here. Five stations, all claiming different formats, play that song regularly (every 2.5 hours.) Not that it's a bad song, I just got tired of it real quick.

Scissor Sisters is really getting wroked in my jukebox. And I'm getting to know the Polyphonic Spree.

Not terribly current, but my children (six and four) have discovered the Cars "Just What I Needed" from the Circuit City commercials, so I've been playing them Cars songs lately. Man, they're good, but MAN, they sound dated. Apparently they programmed all their instruments, drums included. Weird.

The Toots and the Maytals CD is great, particularly "Blame on Me" with Rachel Yamagata. I don't really know her, but she sounds sexy as hell on that song.

I also just got the Ryan Adams "Gold" CD. Again, not new, but "New York, New York" is turning into one of my favorite songs ever. "Firecracker" is great, too. I really didn't want to like Adams because by all accounts he's kind of a dick, but his talent is absolutely undeniable.

ohmiGAWD... how about that song "Breathe (2 A.M.)" by Anna Nalick? Beautifully sang, beautifully written... I may have found my sad song of Summer 2005! I'm buying her CD on the strength of this one tune.


2 Am and she calls me cause I'm still awake
Can you help me unravel my latest mistake
I don't love him and winter just wasn't my season.
Yea we walk through the doors so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize
Hypocrites you're all here for the very same reason.

Cause you can't jump the track
We're like cars on a cable and life's like an hourglass glued to the table,
No one can find the rewind button girl
So just cradle your head in your hands.
And breathe, just breathe, whoa breathe just breathe

May he turned 21 on the base of Fort Bliss
Just today he sat down to the flask in his fist
Ain't been sober since maybe October of last year
Here in town you can tell he's been down for while
But my God it's so beautiful when the boy smiles
Wanna hold him but maybe I'll just sing about it

Cause you can't jump the track
We're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass glued to the table,
No one can find the rewind button boys so cradle your head in your hands
And breathe, just breathe, whoa breath just breathe

There's a light at the end of this tunnel you shout cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
And these mistakes you've made
You'll just make them again if you'll only try turnin' around

2Am and I'm still awake writing this song
If I get it all down on paper it's no longer inside of me threaten' the life it belongs to.
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary screamin' out loud
And I know that you'll use them however you want to.

But you can't jump the track
We're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass glued to the table,
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand...yeah breathe
Just breathe, ohh breathe

No prob, CJ-- I had to redearch the 'net to find it. Got her CD today, so far so awesome... she's kind-of like a young Tori Amos, a bit more mainstream though, which isn't a minus for her. She's still deep but will likely sell more records. I've heard the first 4 songs and like them all so far. It's titled "Wreck of the Day".

Also bought the SCISSOR SISERS cd. omiGAWD, they space-rawk. Loved them when I saw 'em on SNL a while back, and the video for "Filthy/Gorgeous" has been playing at the video bar her, it was too awesome to resist.

Also bought Diana DeGarmo's "Bue Skies" cd for Mom tomorrow.

It's not really new, having come out in 2004, but I have recently become addicted to CALL ON ME by Eric Prydz... been a while since I've grooved on a kewl club track. Click below to watch the awesome video in Windows Media Viewer! A gang of sweaty babes doing areobics-- a throwback to the 80s, for sure. Fitting, I suppose, since the song is a sample of Steve Winwood's 80s tune VALERIE. (Steve, by the way, LOVED the song and rerecorded the vocals for the mix).


CALL ON ME / Eric Prydz

Personally, I think the sole GUY in the class is a hottie. As does the instructor, apparently!

I've been looking at this video on and off for some time, Lash! I had no idea it was new though, I really thought it was from the 80's!

Posted by MLLASH on :
 
Cobes, the sampled vocal loop is absolutely from Steve Winwood's 80s song "Valerie"-- call on me, I'm the same boy I used to be"-- and the video is actually a spoof of the 80s movie PERFECT starring John Travolta and Jamie Lee Curtis! So though CALL ON ME is less than a year old it wouldn't exist in any fashion without the glorious 1980s!

*wistful sigh*... the 80s...

The video is funny and hot at the same time!

Another fave song of mine recently, and I'm not sure how old this is, is Brad Paisley's "Mud on the Tires". Now, I don't really listen to country music at all (I guess I only like about 5 songs in total, just never had much interest), but my g/f absolutely loves it and she turned me on to this song. The song rocks! It's the perfect 'relax and enjoy life' type of song IMO.

I got a bunch of new CDs this week from work and burned some today--all good and worth checking out:

*Martha (sister of Rufus)Wainwright's self titled CD

* The Bravery (self titled)

* Spoon (Gimme Fiction)--

* Stars (Set Yourself on Fire)

* Eisley (Room Noises)

* Keren Ann (Nolita)

* Annie (Anniemal)--Norwegian dance diva; borrows heavily from the Madonna/Kylie school. The tracks "Chewing Gum" and "Me Plus One" are irresistible.

Other than that last one, those are all "Alternative" music (does that even MEAN anything anymore?), but my new favorite song is actually--wait for it--COUNTRY: "Kerosene" by Miranda Lambert. It kicks ass.

Would it be possible to burn individual songs from various artists onto CD rather than just doing stuff by one artist only?
 

---

Posted by knowjack on :
 
Yeah--you can build playlists of songs from as many CDs you want (well, until the CD space is filled) and then burn them to a CD. That's one of my favorite past-times! Every program for that is a bit different, but they're all pretty easy. Once you get the hang of it, you'll be breezing through it!

I always liked the Killers. I enjoyed their kinda neo 80's sound, but when I saw the video (and therefore *heard* the music) for "All These Things That I've Done," all of a sudden I had a new favorite song! I LOVE it! Can't listen to it enough. I've even sung it at karaoke already.

His house is a 15 minute walk from where I am. I remember when they used to play the highschools all around Toronto before they were famous (I think I saw their schtick a half dozen times in two years). Fame hasn't changed them at all, they were and are such nerds. (and I'm so old)


Steven is involved in left-wing politics up here. The time I met him he was going in to the constituency office of the NDP (Social Democratic Party) member of parliament who's also party leader.

OM your taste in music is tasty! I loved Tracy Thorns' (Everything But the Girl) vocals on 'Protection'. I think she does another song with Massive Attack but I forget it at the moment.

Tamper Lad, that's cool to hear. I know Steve's outspoken about a lot of causes, I think he's a big Toyota Prius fan isn't he?

recent additions to my 80s/old school playlist:
Doo Wa Ditty by Zap and Roger - this is so funky, i might just break out in dance here at work
Little Girls by Oingo Boingo - is it just me or are the lyrics a little...messed up?

I almost never reveal my musical guilty pleasures, but I can't contain myself anymore. I think Ashlee Simpson's "L.O.V.E." is awesome. I don't care that she's a fake and that she comes from the world's creepiest family. I think it's the best song Ace of Base never recorded. I also think (with apologies to Lash and other Gwen fans) it's the best song No Doubt never recorded.

And I also like Ashlee's "(Didn't Steal Your) Boyfriend." It takes me back to my early 80s grade school days (gawd, now I know how my Mom must have felt during the 70s, with all the 50s revivalism that was going on.)

Vee, 'Photograph' is the song I was talking about in my birthday thread. This song set me on a crying jag because it reminds me so much of my brother who died in 1999. In high school (before he dropped out in 1977) my brother used to get high with his friends and they took some pretty wild pictures of their adventures. He left behind lots of photograph albums with pictures of his friends and the trips they took, and concerts they went to and parties, and all their 'female conquests.' It's so great that a song can instantly make you think of someone and take you back to a special time. I love this song. Glad you voted for it!

Not "new", but I played it this week and it just STUCK in my head and wouldn't go away, so I had to transcribe the lyrics... (pretty downbeat words for such a upbeat, bouncy song!)


"When I woke up this morning
much to my surprise
The sun was going down
And I was still alive
I looked into the mirror
And according to my eyes
The Martians have invaded
It’s hopeless!

I went to see my doctor
To ask him what to do
Depending to the diagnosis
I said, “Doc, I’m seeing double
And how are both of you?”
No cause for alarm
It’s hopeless!

You don’t stand a chance, it’s hopeless
EVERYBODY DIES!

Well there’s paradise and doomsday
It depends on which comes first
There’s inner peace through medidation
There’s optimists and pessimists
I don’t know which is worse
Oppy yuki maw maw oppy yuki maw mah
It’s hopeless!

The solution has been disolved
The crisis has been resolved
There’s no need to change your plans
It’s a hopeless situation
For tomorrow is another day
And everything will be okay
And by the way… it’s hopeless!"


"HOPELESS" by Joe Walsh & Richard Starkey (1982)

a friend of mine really got me into this band called Within Temptaion.
they're a dutch Goth rock metal band that kinda got lumped into the same grenre as Evenescence and Lacuna Coil, but they really rock i love the Song Angels, and Stand my ground.
here's the link to their site:
http://www.within-temptation.com/

and i'm also feeling the new David Gilmore song, sounds very Pink Floyd-ish but it has a mellow feel to it. and i love "Dani California" by the Chilli Peppers

Posted by Monkey Eater Lad on :
 
I'm going to see "The Streets" in June and really like his new "When You Wasn't Famous".

Just heard The Kooks' "Naive" and it's really catchy...I like Brandtson's "Earthquakes And Sharks" and I'm not sure if I'm pronouning their name correctly, but Guillemots' new album is pretty interesting (check out "Trains to Brazil").

"Hate Me" by Blue October. The music isn't all that creative, but the lyrics certainly are.

I'm getting into a band called Nightwish. Anyone heard of them?

I just heard that song on the radio the other day and I thought it was GREAT! I made sure to remember the name of the band so I could find their cd or look them up in iTunes.

The album's not bad. I got so sick of the Franz Ferdinands and Strokes-type bands out there--the Arctic Monkeys are just a little bit better and more broad stylistically.

Love the Arctic Monkeys album, and the tracks on the "Who the F*ck are the Arctic Monkeys" EP are good as well. Still like Franz Feridnand and their kin, but done with the Strokes-type stuff.

Current favorite song, which doesn't match any of my musical tastes, and which I think is just breaking here in L.A. and is much bigger across the pond is "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley... can't get it out of my head.

Pretty Vegas by INXS with new lead singer JD Fortune has been in heavy rotation in my MP3s lately. As has City of Love by Persephone's Bees (from the Bewitched soundtrack) which is funny because I heard it on a commercial for Razor phones the other day. Must have been synchronicity.

I've recently been getting back into my old Living Colour CDs and playing them during my long drives to and from work. They rock even harder than I'd remembered! Truly an underrated and underappreciated band who are and were still relative anomalies as a black hard rock band. "Cult of Personality" has never lost its punch. Their debut album "Vivid" is a LOT better than I'd remembered, though the followup "Time's Up" is still my favorite. "Stain", their third album, I've only listened to a handful of times since I bought it years ago, so I'm giving that one several spins.

Recently, I learned that the band got back together a few years ago and put out a fourth studio album, "Kaleidoscope". I'll definitely be hunting that one down as soon as I get a chance!

At this point, I'd say my favorite songs by them are "Cult", "Time's Up", "Elvis is Dead", "Open Letter", "Desperate People" and "Love Rears It's Ugly Head". But there's not a song on the first two CDs that I routinely skip over. Those are two kickass albums!!!

"Everybody's Gone To War" by Nerina Pallot hits the spot for me at the moment.

Her album, "Fire", is on repeat at the moment.

She reminds me of Suzanne Vega, KT Tunstall, Alanis Morrisette and Sandi Thom with touches of Olivia Newton-John, Meredith Brooks and Judie Tzuke thrown into the mix.

yeah thats the one...that guy is DAMN cute...GRRRRR...the new album rocks but took a little getting used too...not as gothy or dark as "fallen" or their older stuff...cloud nine, lithium and all that i'm living for are awesome tracks!

Still my current favorite in the album department.

Posted by Saturn Girl on :
 
Right now, my favorite song is a favorite from my reckless youth...... "Last Christmas" by George Michael and Wham I can watch that video over and over and over! The snowy mountainside and the gorgeous ski cabin and all those beautiful, thin, seemingly wealthy young couples enjoying the holidays together. Sharing presents, frolicking in the hot tub, nibbling gourmet food that is more then likely catered in every day. Drinking good wine and getting cozy in front of the roaring fire with whomever is interested.

I'm also enjoying Madonna singing "Santa Baby" because I know she is on the naughty list big time, forever

But my favorite traditional Christmas song is "The Carol of the Bells" because it is so gothic at heart. I also like a song from the Middle Ages "The Holly and the Ivie" because if you listen to the words, it is very Wiccan and Celtic

On another note, on the regular ALternative station, I am enjoying Fallout Boy, "Leading Man."

Favorite song. That's a tough one... I'd have to say Elliot Smith's Coast to Coast is in heavy rotation lately. I've never really focused too heavily on one song but I don't listen to radio too often since for some inexplicable reason Portland has no good radio stations The one college station is on AM and you can only get it within a mile of campus. There are a few albums I'm really digging right now the Band of Horses-Everything All the Time, Animal Collective- Sung Tongs and M. Ward-End of Amnesia. All worh multiple listenings.

My band of the moment is 30 Seconds to Mars. The eldest daughter came up and said, 'This guy's hot!' and I ended up liking the music, despite this ringing endorsement.

Posted by Lightning Lad on :
 
Daughtry is Chris Daughtry who was on last year's American Idol. Went out in fourth place I think. But his style of music is much more along my lines than anything else produced by AI. I do recommend the first album.

30 Seconds to Mars is pretty good to. Probably one of the best actor turned lead singers in Jared Leto.

My latest favorite song is actually from 1969, but I just recently discovered it on satellite radio--"Nothing But a Heartache" by The Flirtations.

They were a girl group in the 60's, in the Supremes vein, but didn't find much success until the moved over to the United Kingdom.

This song was their only hit in the U.S., peaking at #34. Check out this video on youtube--it's absolutely fab!

If someone had told me a few years ago that one day, my flavor-of-the-month guilty pleasure song would be an Avril Lavigne song, I would have laughed in disbelief.

But it has happened. "Girlfriend" has crossed over to VH1, and I'm enjoying it. No real surprise -- it is, after all, this decade's version of Toni Basil's "Mickey," part of the soundtrack to my grade school years.

Love, love LOVE "The Government Totally Sucks" by Tenacious D in their "Pick of Destiny" soundtrack--it's hilarious, particularly in the context of the deleted scene that it appeared in! The song's only a minute and a half and contains the f-word several times (like most songs by the D!), but I love it!

The reason I brought them up-

I heard their current single and it sounded okay. A friend happened to have a copy, and the more I listened, the more I liked. They're one of those bands that may not stick out at first, but certainly give them time.

Good time Charlie got me, now I'm broke

But it was worth acting like a fool
Yeah girl I must have really showed you

Cause all my friends say
I started shooting doubles when you walked in
All my friends say
I went a little crazy seeing you with him

You know I don't remember a thing
But they say I sure was raising some cain
I was a rock star, party hard,
Gett'n-over-you comeback kid

Yeah I must have did

What all my friends say
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

My current favorite song is the duet of Lisa Marie singing with Elvis to 'In The Ghetto' released on the anniversary marking 30 years since his passing. The proceeds are all going to the Elvis charity established for victims of Hurricane Katrina. Lisa Marie looks very much like 'young Elvis.' She is a beautiful woman, a grandmother herself already (and still so hot!) and she has always had those soulful, deepset haunted eyes. I heard an interview with her agent saying that it hit Lisa Marie very hard when she was in the studio and working to mesh her part with her father's. She was too emotional even to record for the first couple days because she felt his presence so strongly. I thought that was beautiful. I'm so grateful she chose to pursue this project as a tribute to her father, and to help the victims still struggling almost two years after Katrina.

Wow, I haven't heard anything from her since Songs From the Choirboy Hotel. I YouTube 'd this, and it's a great little song.

I recently have been hearing a Smashing Pumpkins song on the radio a lot that I never heard before. Anyone know if they have a new song out? At first it seemed highly unlikely. But I read/watch almost ZERO news on music these days.

The song is pretty kick-ass. I miss the Smashing Pumpkins. It would rock if they had a new album out.

BTW Scott, the *new* Silverchair song is pretty kick-ass.
 

---

Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Pretty sure they came out with a new CD this summer, Des.
 

---

Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Googled it: the CD's called "Zeitgeist", Des.
 

---

Posted by Lightning Lad on :
 
The Pumpkins released Zeitgeist in July. The only track I've heard so far is Tarantula. I find it so-so. Just doesn't seem like the same Pumpkins to me. Hopefully it is just the one song.

I haven't heard anything from Silverchair's new album, Young Modern (which I think came out in July as well). I'll have to see if I can find it for a listen.
 

---

Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
 
Now that I moved closer to NYC, I get a new channel called 'Fuse' that I check out every so often. Silverchair has a new single and video for it that plays on that channel and its pretty good. Not sure if you get it Scooter.

So the Pumpkins are together again with a new album? Holy crap! That's pretty cool. I think the song is Tarantula Scott. I actually kind of like it!

If you mean James Iha, yes, he's still technically with APC. They are on a break now while Maynard focuses on his new band, Puscifer. According to Wikipedia Iha is touring Europe with Vanessa and the O's (don't know that group).

Maynard has how many bands now?

Posted by Lightning Lad on :
 
Let's see:

Children of the Anachronistic Dynasty (2 albums)
TexA.N.S. (2 albums)
Tool (7 albums with a new one in the works I think)
A Perfect Circle (3 albums and 2 soundtracks)
Puscifer (3 soundtracks and 1 yet to be released album)

But I think the most he's ever had going at once is two. He didn't start working with Puscifer on an album until APC was on hiatus.
 

---

Posted by CJ Taylor on :

Great song. Just heard this the other day myself.

BTW, I've recently begun listening to a bunch of songs Scooter sent (finally got new PC up and running at home). A lot of them are reccomendations by CJ, MEL, Scooter and a bunch of you other folks. Loving these:

"Flathead" - the Fratellis
"Hysteria" - Muse
"Holland, 1945" - Nuetral Milk Hotel

Also, that new Matchbox 20 song is probably the only song they've ever done where I've been totally impressed and into it. And I'm still listening to Fallout Boy's "Sugar We're Goin Down" and "Thanks for the Mmrrs" (or however corny way they spell it). And the Boys like Girls song is pretty good too.

Scooter gave me a lot of music, and it'll take me some time to get through it all, which is a definate good thing

I'll tempt you the rest of the way Bri. I need to send you the copy of that Action variant I got you anyway.

For me Within Temptation is my latest listen. An actual recommendation from iTunes based on my love for Evanescence. They're a band from the Netherlands led by Sharon den Adel. Yes, I'm fascinated with yet another female lead singer. "The Heart of Everything" is the album and I'm tracking down the rest of their discography.

CJ, I totally agree with the Seether album. Excellent disc.

I found out that Breaking Benjamin, Three Day's Grace and Seether on playing nearby this weekend and I'm kinda bummed that I won't be able to go. Last time these bands were in the area, they were opening for Nickelback, and I probably would have been one of those weirdos who show up for the opening act and then leave before the 'name' band starts up...

I don't know what the song is called or who the artist is, but I love that song in the Wheat Thins commercial, the one with the bubbling synthesizers and the refrain of "Tell me what you want."

The song from FreeCreditReport.com. I've been singing it all day (up until my partner threatened to kill me) and actually liked it enough to look up the name of the actor who sings it. It's Eric Violette and he's French-Canadian.

F-R-E-E
That spells free
creditreport.com baby

Also, after waiting a few months (it was out of stock) CD Baby finally sent me The Daylight's Shift and Blur CD. Awesome. "Boy on The Moon" and "She'll Never Tell" are my favorites.

I'm immensely enjoying my two-disc Across the Universe soundtrack! It's chock full of really excellent Beatles covers!

Never Been Any Reason by Head East.

Gotta love Google and YouTube! I've always loved this song whenever it came on an Oldies Rock station, but it was always at an off-peak hour and they'd never announce the artist. But a lyric search on Google+ an artist search on YouTube= longtime mystery solved!

I also find it ironic that after gaining fame singing "Woman with the sweet lovin better than a white line" the original singer was kicked out of Head East for Cocaine addiction, and found God with his wife... talk about life imitating art.

Anyhoo... killer song!

Silversun Pickups

Well Thought Out Twinkles

Now what was that scar situated from afar
And what was that light integrated in your mind
And what have you done it's too early for everyone
Just wait for that sign spilling over and passed in time

Come join in the last hurrah with open sores and open jaw
And find one last flaw, keep it safe and free from harm
And what have you done, it's too early for everyone
Just smile, go inside, come and see there is no sign

Now here we are revisiting
A time, a place, a whole industry
Well we promise we'll be leaving soon
We share apocalyptic views
How comforting that we see them too
Who are we to promise we'll be leaving shortly

Come join in the last hurrah with open sores and open jaw
And what was that light integrated in your mind
And what have you done it's too early for everyone
Just wait for that sign spilling over and over and
over....

I have a new least favorite..."I kissed a girl". That song has already reached my vomit indicing level i have heard it so much.

So much in fact that i have been reduced to switching to either sports radio or...country music to get away from it.

Last song to reach that mark, Dragonfly by Lenny Kravitz.

That's the only song I can get 100% on Rock Band.

For me it's Weezer's "Say It Ain't So" and Bon Jovi's " Wanted Dead or Alive" that I can consistently hit 100% on. Others I get close but always mess up.

I'm really enjoying Scars on Broadway's eponymous debut CD! Scars is System of a Down guitarist Daron Malakian's new side project. It's a nice blend of punk, metal and straightforward rock. Not being too fond of most of the System songs featuring Daron's vocals, I was a little skittish, but it's a really solid piece. Both he and Serj put out great non-System albums this year!

"They Say" (WARNING: it contains the F-word) is really, really catchy! Listen to it here for free on the Scars Myspace, along with "Chemicals", another good track. Let me know what you think!

Honestly, I feel all 15 tracks on the album range from pretty good to great! Like with System, all songs are pretty short, averaging about 3 minutes in length.

I had quite a moving musical experience this morning. Lying in bed, my alarm clock went off (I have it set to a radio station) but I didn't quite wake up. In that strange half awake/half asleep state I heard, for the first time ever, Bob Dylan's A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall. My mind sort of incorporated it into a dream, and when I finally woke up, I felt really upset, like I had lost something or someone close to me.

I haven't been able to stop thinking about it all day.

"A Victory Of Love", by Alphaville.

This band released its first album in 1984, and I turned 21 that year, but I only recently heard of them. I first heard "Big In Japan" a year or two ago on an Internet radio station, but it passed to the back of my mind, until I stumbled across it on YouTube, and it led me to other songs of theirs. I downloaded their first two albums from BearShare, and I liked them well enough to order them from Amazon. They should arrive in a week or so.

Every once in a while, I'll encounter music that I've somehow gone my whole life without hearing, then - the first time I do - I realize I've been incomplete without it. It happened a couple years ago with Nina Simone, again last year with Leadbelly.

Last night, I heard for the very first time, the album, "Astral Weeks" by Van Morrison.

OH... MY... GOD!!!

If, like pitiful Exnihil of yesterday, you have never listened to this album, stop whatever you are doing and find it. It is, very possibly, the most beautiful album I've ever heard.

Don Cherry's "Until The Rain Comes" from Multkulti. Of course it's pouring like mad here, but the song/cd is just as great as it was nineteen years ago.

Lately I've been listening to Chris Cornells solo stuff. then there's the oddball stuff by guys like Webb Wilder (Tough it out, Human Cannonball). Several diffent versions of Wicked Game (Chris Issaks and HIM) and I hate to say it, but I've found as I get older that screaming angsty androgenous rock really doesn't do it for me. I've been following some (shudder) country music. The men sound like men. I've always liked the Bellamy Bros. and some folk are remaking their stuff. Nina Simone still knocks about in my playlists. Occasionally I'll plop in an old cassete and hit some Del Amitri or KWS. Robert Cray is still in there. Brian Setzer.

And of course I like the oldies, like Elo, but oldies radio around here only seems to play the same thirty songs over and over.

I Also have the BBC sessions for Led. The songs were different and still good. Oddly, while everyone seems to key in on Stairway to Heaven or Kashmire, I like Tea For One better. Hotdogs a kick as well.

Posted by LardLad on :
 
Green Day's new CD "21st Century Breakdown" includes lots of catchy tunes in their trademark pop/punk style. I've always been a casual fan of theirs, but "Breakdown" was their first album I've ever actually bought. I based my purchase entirely off their SNL appearance without having previously heard either "Know Your Enemy" or "21 Guns".

"21 Guns" is my de facto obsessive humming/light singing tune right now, reinforced by that song being so prominent in the Transformers sequel I saw yesterday.

I highly recommend the album if you generally like Green Day. If you already hate them, I doubt it will change your mind. The album is a rock opera with a loose story thread running thru it. I've heard the same is true of "American Idiot"--I think I'll be picking that one up soon.

If anyone hasn't already guessed it from my current signature, my latest fave song is the psychotic Euro-styled pomp of Lady GaGa's "Bad Romance."

I had to post about it after I saw the VH1 Top 20 Video Countdown this morning and found out that the song made the Leap of the Week, from # 14 to # 9. Here's hoping it joins the 20/20 Club (20 weeks in the VH1 Top 20.)

The video is the greatest and most over-the-top of its kind since the 80s.

Indeed. And there are certain scenes, like the dance sequence near the end, where she's never looked lovelier.

I looked up the director's videography -- his name's Francis Lawrence -- on Wikipedia. He also did one of my favorite Shakira videos, "Whenever, Wherever", the one where she's a nature girl.

Really, not a new song, but an all-time favorite that I always seem to come back to at this post-festive time of year:

"You Are Invited" by The Dismemberment Plan.

It's just such a perfect weird short story/two-minute symphony, in song form. I never get tired of it.

You folks have such cool, hip tastes. Me, I've been hopelessly mainstream ever since alternative became mall-ternative 20 years ago. Once in a while there's one I like that's both mainstream and cool (see: Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance", which I actually mentioned earlier in this thread), but more often it's stuff like Katy Perry's new one, "Teenage Dream."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FOulk2Ij8E

It's probably the fantasy of eternal youth that it sells. Or maybe the synth hook. Or maybe that her voice is considerably less annoying than usual.

FWIW, I hated all of Katy Perry's previous singles.

That does suck. The labels are only hurting themselves and their artists. I rarely buy new music unless I can hear a song all the way through. Youtube is one of the sources I turn to when I'm trying to do that. If I run into a copyright issue, I'll generally think, "screw it" and move on.

A FACEBOOK friend introduced me to my current obsession, a band from Germany named BOSSHOSS.

7 hot guys is stereotypical cowboy outfits, they exploded in Germany doing rockabilly/country versions of well-known songs. Their covers are amzingly original (I know, not easy to do for a covers band, huh?), well-done and fun-- and very very VERY sexy!

I cannot understate how obsessed with them I currently am!

To prove this, here's a sampling you can click on an enjoy!


The ridiculously hot cover of Outkast's HEY YA:

Nucking futs fun version of Cameo's WORD UP:

Outageously cool version of The Cardigans' MY FAVORITE GAME:

Funny video (beware of F-word) to go with this amusing cover of I SAY A LITTLE PRAYER:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=He4NFXIKQkk

And I'll close it down with this amazing and touching cover of IT'S NOT UNUSUAL. Just lovely, don't miss it:

That reminds me of SILVER SURFER, a band from Kasel Germany lead by Karsten Kohler. They all dress like MEXICAN BANDITOS and have stage names (Vince, Tom, Jerry & Beach). They do rock & roll, surfing tunes, and "Americana" (folk songs & realy OLD pop songs). Among the artists whose songs they do are Johnny Cash, The Champs, Morton Stevens, Lalo Schifrin, The Limeliters, Link Wray, The Beach Boys, Dick Dale, Ritchie Valens, The Sandpipers, Dean Martin, Roger Miller, Tennessee Ernie Ford & Ray Charles. What a combination!! Yes, they also do originals, what struck me as funny about their 2nd CD was, it could have made a GREAT 4-song EP of new songs, but was fleshed out by all these fun oldies.

There's nothing wrong with recording songs written by other artists--it used to be the norm before The Beatles showed how artists could make a ton of money as songwriters!
