Another song I loved as a child. Finally heard it on one of those Sonic Tap music stations that comes with DirecTV.

Dazz Band - "Let it Whip." Resisting the urge to sing in study hall.

A couple days ago, Rihanna put up all her new album tracks on YouTube and... well... the new album sucks. But, there are a few okay songs. Here's one of the better ones:
And it's way too slow.

The Proclaimers - "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)." Have an unhealthy obsession with this song.

Heard this from the second episode of Look. The more I rewatch the show I can see how great some of the music was.

Just found out Earle made an album, a book, and a song in the spirit of Hank Williams. I'll be all over this for the next few days.

My dad thinks this is one of the worst songs to come out of the music industry. I like it. Same thing with "Come On Eileen." My grandma thought he was saying "I'm gathering the eggs, I am, I am."

Jonny McGovern - "Sexy Nerd"
I'd post it but... let's say it might not be exactly "work safe."

Tears flooding my eyes right now. Love this song. Hated it when I first heard it, but damn I can't help myself. I must hit replay.

Doin' this Blog-style, but...: Checking out Goldfrapp's newest: The Singles. And it's impossible not to see what is missing. "Pilots," "Twist," "Alive," "Caravan Girl," "Fly Me Away," and "Human." Some of these are sacrificed for a pair of new tracks- "Yellow Halo" and "Melancholy Sky." And if I was cold to Seventh Tree upon first listen, these songs might as well just bury themselves. Neither are any good, in my opinion. (Though I'll admit, these are first-listens and they can be rough.) As a real "bang for your buck" person when it comes to music, this is a HUGE disappointment. By the time the actual singles are over, the disc has totaled 45 minutes. What a way to sum up one of the most revolutionary careers of the last 15 years in pop music!! I guess it's good that the disc collects mostly non-album mixes but I sincerely don't even remember the mix of "Utopia" which makes the cut here being the mix laid over either version of the music video. Which means, several of the early picks were chosen because they helped compliment "Ooh La La" and "Number 1" - apparently their biggest hits ever (that's news to me, since "Strict Machine," "Fly Me Away," and "Alive" got the most play on advertisements, etc). If it's any consolation, "Lovely Head" - probably their best single, or tied with "Utopia" - is at least kept pure. But with 25 minutes left on the disc, it's just sad the video / single mix of "Pilots" didn't make it. Great job of giving us on one disc what is a pain to seek out elsewhere. Did they just expect most fans already had the single CD? The Singles totals 54:41. 3 more songs would barely stretch it out to that undesirable 70-minute mark. Madonna's Celebration had only 2 discs and a MUCH bigger career to capture and did a better job than this compilation. Just... disappointing. - - - - - Oh, and speaking of Madonna... what a perfect opportunity for me to dig into her latest 'hit': How sad that the Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. section is the only great thing about it, especially the breakdown from 2:14-2:40 (WOW!). The guitar is peppy, which doesn't get me very excited, but the whole cheerleader theme here is lousy. The beat is good but the snazz and jazz up attempts with all these other sounds I'm hearing weighs this down. Like bad cooking, which is exactly what it is. Whereas that breakdown is a fantastic punch. And exactly the territory Madonna should be trying to go for. So, at least we know some of the ingredients are right. Give her points for not sounding like she's trying to match Britney, Jennifer Lopez, or Lady Gaga's latest material. But it does sound like she's trying to plug into something she's already done. For GOD'S sake, she knows every powerful person in the industry and commands the unflinching respect of every single artist / performer who might be seen as competition. This is the best she can do for a first single? Try again, Madge.

Honestly love this song. Wish it was taken more seriously. If you've seriously listened to it, it's a very, very good song.
