Richard Marx - "Hazard"

Emily - Joanna Newsom.

"And the meteoroid is a bone thrown from the void".

Richard Marx. Very nice.

I bet nobody else has heard of this one but listening to a band called I Napoleon.

Joe Pernice - Big Tobacco

You'd be mad not to check it out...

Spandau Ballet - Gold on Dublin's 98FM. Fuckin' deadly.

Back on the chain gang - Pretenders.

lucia by the court & spark

Now it's Duran Duran with Wild Boys.

Right now I'm listening to NOFX's new live album. I love live albums...and there's some interesting versions of some of the songs on here.

Can - She brings the rain

I've been hearing the song "Into The Night" from Santana & Chad Kroeger (of Nickelback) on Bayern 3 a lot lately and I kinda like it.

Not to mention that the girl in the video is pretty hot, too.

Santana featuring Chad Kroeger - "Into The Night"



Like a gift from the heavens, it was easy to tell,
It was love from above, that could save me from hell,
She had fire in her soul it was easy to see,
How the devil himself could be pulled out of me.
There were drums in the air as she started to dance,
Every soul in the room keeping time with there hands,
And we sang…
Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay!

Kenny Burrell - Midnight Blue

Nice...

Some guy out my window is blasting Wu-Tang, and im kinda hoping he turns it up a bit... Its so loud, its setting off car alarms, so the entire time its playing im hearing method man rhyme over "whoop whoop whoop whoop".

*note- Lower East Side Manhatten has way to many car alarms.

So this is what I was just listening too and was moved by Paul who is shy, lacks confidence, wearing a cheap suit, and is a mobile phone saleman. But he's trying to follow his dream with this audition. The reaction from the judges and the audience was amazing. If you are not some how moved by this video, check your pulse. He's such an inspiration.

I am enjoying M. Ward's work of late:

Iron and Wine also enriches to my days...

Phil Lynott's Old Town - a classic...

That's what I love about the interwebby. I sit at a Mac, looking at a wall littered with hundreds of CDs thinking I'm the dogs bollocx of all things musical and then PES, who I've never met before, posts this. So I've now spent the past hour checking out this rather talented M. Ward character. Many thanks PES. I've very much enjoyed the last hour.

Right this minute listening to Obadiah Parker doing an acoustic cover of OutKast's Hey Ya:

Most welcome. But don't over do it: I listen and listen and listen to M. Ward and now need a break. It is addictive stuff...

Deftones - Around The Fur. Been an aeon.

Listening to Knight Rider (I could watch, but they keep showing closeups of the Hoff).

Steeleye Span Time. The first four tracks are brilliant, the rest under par.

Queensryche- Operation Mindcrime

My iPod that has a lil' bit of everything... Celia Cruz, Seals & Crofts, Greatful Dead...Perry Como, Tim McGraw, Pet Shop Boys...Josh Groban...

@Eurovol: I thought I was the only person who can't stomach the "Hoff". For some reason I find him c-r-e-e-p-y.

I remember that one - I even have it plus a few more of their albums. Saw them on UK TV once many a moon ago. Annie Haslam had some voice...

Yeah, Annie Haslam sure has a magnificent voice. I've got most of Renaissance's albums too and I like to listen to them once in a while. The song below from their 1973 album Ashes Are Burning is another nice little number of theirs:

Renaissance - "Carpet Of The Sun"

I'm LOSING IT over Digitalism's "Zdarlight"

Tell me you don't shake your ass to this! I won't believe you. Around 1:03 it gets ape shit bananas. Yes, I'm drunk.

as winter slowly stumbled home

Black Cow

Roland Kaiser, getting an ÜBER TRASH Karneval / Schlager compilation together.

the T.V.'s on too much
and I don't ever think enough
about the things that matter most
and what could make me old

and there's no argument
for wasting time much better spent
complacently replacing a melody with smoke

Great f-ing band. I saw them for the 10th time this August and they blew me away - again. They'll be doing a European tour in February/March. I've already got tix for March 16/18/19 in Amsterdam.

Do you have Safety in Numbers?
