Ok, I'm up too late and am listening to music drunk. For those of you also prone to doing this, what was your last late-night music obsession? Mine (tonight) is Pet Sounds.
I'm on like my 4th listen through the CD, and this is the version that has the stereo version followed by the mono version, so I've actually heard it eight times in a row now.
I was following 80s-90s euro music clips on youtube. Rita Mitsouko - Marcia Baila. I like her accent. It is probably meant to be an argentinian accent.
Last time I did this I was scrolling through a bunch of Richard Thompson. Then I listened to "Heartbeats" that Jose Gonzales recorded, you know the one for the bouncy ball Sony ad (yeah, I'm commercial...). Then I put the itunes on shuffle while I puttered about, and came across some really cool songs I almost forgot about. "Marie" a bass solo off of John McLaughlin's "Que Alegria", some Steve Tibbets songs, a Richard Thompson acoustic version of "Outside of the Inside" which gave me goosebumps. There was some nostalgia at the punk sound of early Violent Femmes. Burning Spear. Old Peter Gabriel. Man that was a night, and what a great hangover...
