What are you listening to right now?

Jason Aldean- Amarillo Sky

no ordinary world - Joe Cocker, music smooth as silk soothing my soul while creating the budget sheet and believe me, for this is need a LOT of soothing

A3 - "Woke Up This Morning"



Great kick-ass song from A3 (Alabama 3 in the UK) and great TV show.

This week I shall be mostly listening to my dog barking!

Jimmy Reed

From the days when you could play everything on a bass guitar with only 3 strings and 4 frets. Drummer suffering a little broken down motor syndrome with early signs of rigor mortis, but lyrics and harmonica are excellent.

UB40's "One In Ten" brings back fond memories for me.

UB40 - "One In Ten"

a really cool 60's - 80's radio station on internet, that will be unfortunately closing down tomorrow, called 2nations gold.

trying to get a montage of favorite 70s porn soundtracks.

Just doing a little time traveling and free association at the moment...

First was Metallica's Seek 'n Destroy [Kill 'em All]: Sunset Strip, new license, cruising, 'rockin the truck, seriously hot blonds, racing sunset blvd. and ditch cops.

Next was AC/DC's Shoot to Thrill [Back in Black]: Pee-chee folders, rubik's cube, hot french teacher, fast times, breasts.

Then Beatles' Something [Abbey Road]: cruise, ensenada, high school, int'l waters, long island iced teas, cigs, why?

Then Pavement Trigger Cut/ Wounded-Kite at :17 [Slanted & Enchanted]: grunge, hairy girl & rock girl, joshua tree, gigs.

Michael Buble!

Just hit shuffle on my iPod and one of my favourite songs came up: Karn Evil 9 (well, the distilled version of it) by Emerson, Lake and Palmer.

A very strange jazz version of wonderwall. Sounds an awful lot like Sinatra so I'm guessing it's someone doing covers in Sinatra style. Very strange.

Maximo Park...only discovered them a few days ago...am starting to like it...rather catchy

Shit. I know that. Is that the same people who did that awesome crooner-style remake of Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit? What ARE they called?

No clue. It's playing in the lobby of the hotel right now. They've switched to an actual Frankie song now. It's not half bad.

I've done a quick google and found that Paul Anka has done a version of Smells Like Teen Spirit. Maybe that's what I heard.

Found it: Paul Anka: Rock Swings (2005)



He does Wonderwall on it, plus Eye Of The Tiger, Jump, Everybody Hurts, Black Hole Sun, It's My Life, It's A Sin, True, Smells Like Teen Spirit, Hello, Eyes Without A, The Lovecats, The Way You Make Me Feel and Tears In Heaven.

Carly Simon... hm...

linkin park- minutes of midnight. horrible sound, i did not like it at all.

Tangerine Dream's Thief album. Very entrancing I must say.

Tangerine Dream - "Beach Theme"

Finally loaded Brain Salad Surgery onto my iPod. Fantastic!!

The Frames - The Cost.

Beautiful, gentle and full of soul.

Can't get enough of 'Leave before the lights come on' Arctic Monkeys and 'Mr. Brightside' The Killers

Inspired by a thread on here - 'Foxtrot', vintage Genesis.

Bonito
(Jarabe De Palo)

Such a fun song!

Bonito, todo me parece bonito
Bonita mañana
bonito lugar
bonita la cama
qué bien se ve el mar
bonito es el día
y acaba de empezar bonita la vida
respira, respira, respira

El teléfono suena, mi pana se queja
la cosa va mal, la vida le pesa
que vivir así ya no le interesa
que seguir así no vale la pena
se perdió el amor, se acabó la fiesta
ya no anda el motor que empuja la tierra
la vida es un chiste con triste final
el futuro no existe pero yo le digo...

Bonito todo me parece bonito

Bonita la paz, bonita la vida
bonito volver a nacer cada día
bonita la verdad cuando no suena a mentira
bonita la amistad, bonita la risa
bonita la gente cuando hay calidad
bonita la gente que no se arrepiente
que gana y que pierde, que habla y no miente
bonita la gente por eso yo digo...

Bonito, todo me parece bonito

Qué bonito que te va cuando te va bonito,
qué bonito que te va

Bonito, todo me parece bonito
La mar la mañana, la casa, la sombra,
la tierra, la paz y la vida que pasa.
Bonito, todo me parece bonito.
Tu calma, tu salsa, la mancha en la
espalda, tu cara, tus ganas el fin de semana

Bonita la gente que viene y que va
bonita la gente que no se detiene
bonita la gente que no tiene edad
que escucha, que entiende, que tiene y que da

Bonito Portet, bonito Peret
bonita la rumba, bonito José
bonita la brisa que no tiene prisa
bonito este día, respira, respira
Bonita la gente cuando es de verdad
Bonita la gente que es diferente
Que tiembla, que siente
Que vive el presente
bonita la gente que estuvo y no está.

Bonito, todo me parece bonito.

Qué bonito que te va cuando te va bonito,
qué bonito que te va.
Qué bonito que se está cuando se está
bonito qué bonito que se está.

Bonito, todo me parece bonito

Looks all Greek to me.

Here's what I'm listening to right now: Van Morrison - "Glad Tidings" (from the album 'Moondance').

Ceann - from NPR's song of the day...

Pretty on the Inside

I'm listening to this: Ana Popovic. Go on, click it if you like electric blues, blues-rock, RnB and stuff. The first track that comes up after the intro is a bit untypical of her music and sounds more like jazz, but try some of the others.

And she's playing in Munich this Thursday, at the Ampere. Concert: Ana Popovic @ Muffatwerk Ampere

Elisa. She has a beautiful voice.

Midnight Rider, Patti Smith, "12"

I could tell you about the incredibly crisp faultlessly timed guitar work, the subtly powerfull bass playing, the booming reality of the drums or the laid back drawl of Ms. Smith.

I could tell you that this song places you instantly on the hot vinyl seat of a dusty Ford Mustang on some Mexican back road, with one eye permanently scanning the rearview mirror for the Federales, and a package on the back seat that will set you up for life or turn you into the boyfriend of the man with most cigarettes.

Or I could go, jesus, she does that song justice.

Miss Saigon soundtrack!

Hidden Cameras Mississauga Goddam

Mississauga Goddam is an exhilarating, uplifting fantastic album. Its that simple. Buying it is probably the easiest thing you can do to make yourself feel good

Shirley Bassey at Glastonbury!

Late Edition and Meet The Press.

Me too.

Good ol' Shirl.

Gawd bless 'er!

The real Shirley Bassey - Channel 4

This...

It Was just on BBC Radio 2.

Oh... the memories..

Guardian Angel by Alphaville from their 1997 album Salvation.

Just seen a movie that has this in the soundtrack - awesome. Sounds as fresh today as it did 60/70 years ago - as one of the comments on youtube suggests, it's hard to imagine any contemporary singer affecting future generations the way this bird still can.

The live version on youtube has some iffy intonation from the band, but just listen to the voice! The studio version is easy to find on the internet . . .

This Perfect Thing by Honestly

the copy machine

www.diggnation.com These guys crack me up.

Two Fantastic voices!!

I was just nipping out the house the other day and I had MTV on the background and all of a sudden U2 came on singing 'Walk on' and the fact is I have never even heard this song before and I always have a view to music and be a lot of things in general that if something stops you in your tracks the first time then it must be very good. Of course some songs from an album grow on you and the hitty ones slowly die but this seems a hitty one!

I think it's a good few years old actually 2000 from the album- All That You Can`t Leave Behind- but god almighty have I been asleep for 7 years even though I went to see them in the Olympic stadium the other year! I actually think this is one of the best songs they have ever done and why I have not heard it more maybe I am just becoming a music snob and just beginning to appreciate good music- Does anybody want to buy any Coldplay albums?

From one of my favourite albums... Elton John Live in Australia..

The Greatest Discovery

If anyone has the Vidoe of the whole "Tour De Force" Please can I borrow it?

My laptop fan and my keybord

Modest Mouse God would wanna be such an asshole
