A music thread -- Share 5 songs you like

[muse2clio]

I'm trying to find new music for my ipod which mysteriously stopped communicating with my pc in December, and then just as myseriously re-started communicating with it last week. I want to load new songs during the time it's still working, lol. :D

Can you share with me 5 songs that you really enjoy listening to -- they can be your 5 favorite songs, or just any five random songs that you really like, or your 5 most recent downloads, or most often played songs lately -- your choice :loveit: :spinning:

Here is my completely random 5, based upon what I've been listening to lately:

1) U2 - WildHoney. There has to be a U2 song in my list, and this is one of my all time favorite U2 songs.

2) Bruce Springsteen -- Mary's Place from The Rising. This song has such great energy, it always puts me in a good mood.

3) One Day by KT Tunstall -- I got this song as a free download from starbucks and really like it.

4) Boys Don't Cry by the Cure -- Love the Cure. I love how they take really depressing moments and turn them into catchy tunes.

5) Little Polveir by Monkey Swallows the Universe -- Margie recommended this band to me on the old yaaps and they have a great sound.

Okay, your turn! :p

3. Other Side of the World - KT Tunstall

2) Bebel Gilberto - All Around.

3) Joni Mitchell - Both Sides Now (from the Love Actually soundtrack). Heartbreaking version.

Madeleine Peyroux- You're Going to Make Me Lonesome When You Go

I Confess by the English Beat. Pure sexiness to me.

Anything from the Once soundtrack. Try Falling Slowly and go from there. Damn good movie too.:hearts:

Ack, down to number 5. OK, I love the Decemberists. All of the Decemberists. But I'll go with We Both Go Down Together.

And a bonus 6th just cause it is so damn beautiful I have to share it. Listen and weep.

Oh I love Rufus Wainwright's version, I get that swelled up tears in my eyes, chest is going to explode with emotion feeling when I hear it :-)

Sometimes I'm not in a "Rufus mood" - he can get a little whiny sounding, but I could listen to Hallelujah anytime, just pause my day for it.

[sarahs]

[LIST=1]
...
Hometown Glory - Adele

...

That Adele song is the free download on Itunes this week. Its really good!

[Pensive]

I LOVE Living Color...gotta pull that one back out!

=)

Me too, that's in storage somewhere. And I also really used to love Fishbone "the Reality of My Surroundings" (e.g. "Sunless Saturday"). They had a similar musical style but they were a bit more explicit. Actually, they were very explicit and very angry. Ah, high school...

[~k~]

Glad to be of service, ma'am! :D

[sarahs]

Saving My Face- KT Tunstall

Oxford Comma - Vampire Weekend

My 14 yo is really into Vampire Weekend. You earn cool points.

[Debra]

That Adele song is the free download on Itunes this week. Its really good!

I heard of her on Perez Hilton a couple of months ago (actually I've discovered quite a few things that way). I joined her email list and got two free songs that way and have been waiting impatiently for more. Then I saw she was on iTunes. That's great exposure for her.

[aleutsi]

1) The Sun's Comin' Over The Hill (http://www.karinepolwart.com/music/faultlines/04_thesuns.html) To hear a snippet, click the button on this page (http://www.karinepolwart.com/music/faultlines.html). And here is the Youtube live version (http://youtube.com/watch?v=4kYE1JD-OoY&feature=related).

Ok, so it was one song... I like Faultlines (http://www.karinepolwart.com/music/faultlines/02_faultlines.html) from this page (http://www.karinepolwart.com/music/faultlines.html)as well.. that particular song has been helping me work through my emotions/thoughts WRT dd leaving home...

DH's calling me on the phone and wants me to game with him, so I'll come back with my 3 other faves later....


:loveit:

[retro]

Ahhh...high school...when we could be angry and it was okay.

LOL

Yes Fishbone was very good!

[chantele]

My 14 yo is really into Vampire Weekend. You earn cool points.

The fact that not only do your 14 yo and I also share the same taste in "literature", but also music is kind of scaring me... and I probably shouldn't mention how much those posts about her and her older boyfriend reminded me of myself at that age :eek:

see if she likes these guys http://www.myspace.com/metrostation
I'm currently driving my dh nuts by replaying Shake It and Seventeen Forever over and over :p

[Hawthorne]

Just five? lol

From my happy list (in other words, there are lots of other songs I love, but these are not depressing)

1 Bizarre Love Triangle - New Order
2 Blister in the Sun - Violent Femmes
(not necessarily their best song, but most of their lyrics are inappropriate around the kids so I don't listen nearly as often as I'd like)
3 Close to Me - The Cure
4 The Concept - The Cranberries
5 In the Meantime - Spacehog (brings back my teens)

[Nicke]

4. Violin Sonata in A Minor (I *think* that's what it's called; I heard it on satellite radio in the car the other day and I was really moved by how sad the violin sounded. I plan to download.)
It's by Amy Beach anyway.

Have you heard Unaccompanied Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major? Penny Simkin uses it as background music in one of her videos (her daughter is playing it). I just love it. http://www.amazon.com/Classic-Yo-Yo-Johann-Sebastian-Bach/dp/B00005OAY5/ref=sr_1_30?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1203691494&sr=8-30

I *heart* New Order. Not like Joy Division, but still...
It sounds like we might have some similar playlists :)

I had entirely forgotten about New Order until about a year ago when my brother and I were talking about music and he said that this one CD of theirs used to be mine and I listened to it all the time. I did not remember that at all, I actually kinda argued with him about it, swore up and down that I didn't even know their music. I think I was attributing their music to Erasure in my mind, but anyway, then he played it for me and I was like, "ooooh!" And now I'm all over it again. Nothing like rediscovering stuff from the past. LOL I get into pretty much anything in that genre though.
