Kings of Convenience - I'd Rather Dance With You: Nice little ditty
U2 - Vertigo: I love the gituars in this one
Pharrell (N.E.R.D./Neptunes), Beck, Jay-Z -Frontin' on Debra: Cool mix of Beck and Pharrell songs that blend well

Oldie but goodie: Luscious Jackson - Naked Eye: I heard this on the radio a couple of weeks ago and remembered how cool it is

Hey LL, I'm getting into a band from out your way, lately.

Silvercrush, kind of a Rusted Root sound. I'm told they're from Utah. Know much about them?

I've heard a couple of their songs. Their lead guitarist used to play with Lifehouse and I think the guy who produced their album played for John Mellencamp. I'm not aware of a new album from them. Their first one (only one I know of) came out in 2002, 'Stand'. Not much else. Oh, except they were named Utah's Best Rock Band in 2002.

Any particular track?

Well, I'm digging the title track, as well as "Who is Me" and "Dance."

Funny you mentioned their getting the best rock band recognition. Rolling Stones Best New Band in 2002, Psuedopod, had a great debut album that sold 86 copies (no typo.) Seems some talented bands just aren't getting the attention they deserve.

given a copy of Crash by Dave Matthews Band and 'Crash Into Me' is amazing. am trying not to drive the neighbours mad with it.

and ihateadmittingthissoooomuch, Call On Me the Eric Prydze version. Honestly, they just played it on the juke at pub and ...got interested in the video clip. It played a few times. Next thing i know this song which is NOT what i like in music has slipped around the back of my cerebellum and mugged some part of my brainstem. I keep finding myself singing along to it, which is kinda annoying COZ IT ONLY HAS ONE #$%^ LINE. 'call on me, callon me. Call on me'...

The Killers' latest song is really good. I don't remember the name though - "Mr. something" I think...

Gwen's latest is growing on me: "Whatcha Waiting For"(?) - it reminds me of Souxsie and the Banshees.

I just got Starsailor's remixed "Four to the Floor" which I like. The original has been out for a while now, but have you heard Kayne West's remix of Maroon 5's "This Love"? Its different but not exceedingly so. Another neat remix is Mike Shinoda's remix of Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence" - totally Linkin Park'ed. I saw Jamie Cullum at the Fillmore a coupla weeks ago so I've been playing lots of him lately too. Anybody in to holiday music? I'm a sucker for modern holiday covers so I'm assembling my holidays tunes onto a playlist again...

I love the current song, the video is so cool/weird.

The Killers song is "Mr Bright Side" - kinda reminds me of "Born Slippy" (a good thing). I'm totally into this song at the moment...

Ok, so I've been totally digging Destiny's Child's "Lose My Breath". The whole song is about berating a guy who can't come through sexually. It's the "I will survive" of the 21st century

'Look What You've Done' by Jet. Surprising because I generally don't care for Beatles-esque songs (love the Beatles, not groups trying to sound like them). It is the one tune that sticks in my head lately.

"El Paso" by Marty Robbins, from the CD reissue of his _Gunfighter Ballads & Trail Songs_.

So much for being current.

I've always preferred "San Angelo" to "El Paso" myself.

OhhhhhKay.

OhhhhhKay.

Why, yes, "San Angelo" is basically the same story as "El Passo" but with the names changed!

I've been getting into the band Phoenix lately. I reallly liked that song "Too Young" from Shallow Hal and Lost In Translation and their new album is cool too. I like "Everything Is Everything", "Run, Run, Run", and "Holding On Together"...

My two favorites are "Somebody Told Me" by The Killers and "Michael" by Franz Ferdinand.

They're both making me want to make an "Ambigously Gay CD" compilation!

My new favorite song about eggs:
I Love Eggs

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.

I'm going to be obnoxious and bump this to the new page. It's my new obsession!
I Love Egg

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

The latest album by Nine Inch Nails!!!!!!! Released today, it rules!!!!

British Sri Lankan act "M.I.A." has this awesome sound. "Sunshowers" reminds me of an old Prince song. Hot Hot Heat's new disc is cool, and my fav track is probably "Running Out of Time". Anyone heard the remix of the old Superfriends/Super Powers theme called "The Time Is Now" from Cartoon Network? It spacerawks! A couple weeks back I came across Lemon Jelly and William Shatner's "Together" which is kinda cool.
