21 February 2006

"You Don't Have to Cry", CSNY, from the Deep Vinyl Tracks Collection (now available on K-Tel). But everybody is knowing that already, I think.

I'm currently loving Only This Moment by Royksopp. But I'm also loving Crystalline Green by Goldfrapp. So I have two favourites of the moment. Because I'm greedy.

"Careless Whisper" by Wham.

I heard a muzak version at an Indian restaurant two weekends ago. The following Tuesday, a subway musician was doing a rendition on steel drum. Catch myself whistling it walking down the street. Overheard one of the guys from Sales singing it on his way out the john.

I'd better learn to love this song. Seems I'll be hearing it everywhere for rest of eternity.

Enya vs. Prodigy or The Roof Is On Fire. Can't stop listening to 'em.

"Marooned," by Wire. It came on this morning while I was riding to work, and the sort of dread-filled sound of it seemed to mesh with the overcast sky, and then the lyrics came in about the polar bear climbing up onto the iceberg where the guy is stranded... if gave me a chill, in a good way. I played it over six or seven times in a row after that.

I'd YSI the song but I'm at work. :P I did find this: RealAudio
and here are the lyrics, since lyric sites are evil, pop-up-infested atrocities:

An unwilling sailor adrift from Artic waters
As the water gets warmer, my iceburg gets smaller
As he pours more petrol on, he feels no fear
As the flames get nearer, its thought gets clearer
A blue-white polar bear arrives at the end
Diverting his attention, his feelings froze over
I'm only a runaway AWOL at the logical start
Not present in the present, overboard with limited future
And I'm standing alone still getting a thrill
While the ship is afloat, he's losing his boat

It's Been Done/Angela McCluskey--my favorite for over a month now.

Say it isn't So by Hall & Oates. It was never one of my favorite songs by them, but the other day I was digging through 80s music and started listening to them and this song really appealed to me suddenly. I think the song might already be number one on my Last FM chart now. I keep listening to it over and over. *shrugs*

I haven't been listening to music lately. I dunno - I'm in a funk about all the music I own and every so-called new thing I hear is tedious.

*puts on Glenn Miller, the inevitable stand-by*

I recently "rediscovered" Kidney Bingos by Wire and can't stop playing it. And lo and behold, it's top of my chart for last week. Second is The Kinks Destroyer which is the sound of Ray ripping off his own riffs which rather appeals to me for some reason.

Ummmmmm. How about Enon - Knock That Door.
posted by agropyron 21 February | 17:40
I've been listening to perennial favorites like Springsteen, The Who, Little Richard and The Band, plus a lotta 50's/early 60's stuff and 70's anthem-rock. In tough times, you go for what you know.

Kelley Stoltz - Ever Thought Of Coming Back?

A nice Beach Boys pastiche in which Mr. Stoltz wonders whatever happened to Jesus. I reviewed the album last week and have had the song pleasantly stuck in my head since then.
posted by bmarkey 21 February | 17:53
...and ZZ Top's Balinese. That songs been floating around rock radio for about 3 decades and it's still my favorite 'post-adolescent male utopian fantasy song.'
posted by jonmc 21 February | 17:54
Um . . . my tastes vary widely.

Today's: Bring Me Back a Song from At The End Of The Evening.
Yesterday's: Wendy's Audition.

that goddamn "I bet you look good on the dancefloor" by Artic Monkeys has pretty much taken over my brain at this point.

And for my money the best song of 2005, "Land-Locked Blues" by Bright Eyes.

And, just this morning, "brand new colony" by The Postal Service.

Free Falling - Tom Petty
White Flag - Dido
Man i feel like a woman - Whatsherface

The Haunting (Somewhere in Time) - video link. Musically, I adore this kind of thing; I love female voices in rock, and a duet is all the more fun, and this just about gives me chills. And the story is good, as is the quality of the video. And having Simone Simons slinking around in red leather doesn't hurt matters, either.
posted by Wolfdog 21 February | 18:31
Wow, eamondaly, those were brilliant.

Mine: Aster Aweke, "Yedi Gosh." Totally hot Ethiopian jazz with powerful female vocals.

Ride a White Horse, Goldfrapp.

(You meant instant, right? Because it will probably change by tomorrow, or even this evening.)

Tangentially: Holy gawd, Alison Goldfrapp is hot. Oh my.

At this exact second, it is Murder Me Rachael by The National. Dum Maro Dum by Asha Bhosle (Kronos Quartet version) is a perennial favorite in the last few weeks, as is You Are What You Love by Jenny Lewis.
posted by matildaben 21 February | 18:46
Empire of Light - Tin Hat Trio. God I love this song.
posted by selfnoise 21 February | 18:50
BTW Moonbird, thanks for the hot Ethiopian jazz. It's pretty damn cool.

"Born to be Hated" (cheesiest industrial title evar) by Hocico.

Oddly enough (or not), Puke + Cry by Dinosaur, Jr. *waves to p&c the MeFite if he's reading this*

Every Fucking City, by Paul Kelly, has been tickling my fancy for weeks.
posted by me3dia 21 February | 21:59
Today it is "Even Hitler had a Girlfriend" by the Mr. T Experience. Yesterday it was "Destination Venus" as covered by Man Or Astroman?

And dude, no Pearl Jam warning on that link? No offense, but ick.
posted by King of Prontopia 21 February | 22:08
A yousendit to the Man or Astroman? version of "Destination Venus" would be greatly appreciated, king of prontopia.

I'd go for Royskopp - What else is there. When I first heard that song on the radio I almost had to stop my car and weep.

"For the Widows in Paradise" by Sufjan Stevens.
posted by jaksemas 22 February | 00:04
Either Opeth's "Ghost of Perdition" or After Forever's "Only Everything".

I've been burning up my friends' mp3 blog on a daily basis. My favorite song on there is Lolita by Elefant.
