Haha looking back on my post last night, that was a bit arrogant of me, but I WAS drunk! )
What, you need to be drunk to listen to your own music? :v )
"He’s a man way out there in the blue, riding on a smile and a shoeshine. And when they start not smiling back—that’s an earthquake. and then you get yourself a couple of spots on your hat, and you’re finished. Nobody dast blame this man. A salesman is got to dream, boy. It comes with the territory." Death of a Salesman
I've been listening to a few songs lately, however I've recently been listening to 'Joker & The Thief' by Aussie group Wolfmother, which is pretty good but is nowhere near as good as the song which inspired it (*Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower); Queen's stunningly underrated 'Friends Will Be Friends', which some have accused of being overly mawkish however I love it ; and the superb 'Mad World' as sung by Gary Jules.
*Before I receive any mail pointing out that All Along the Watchtower was actually by Bob Dylan, I am referring however specifically to the Hendrix version, which was the inspiration for the Wolfmother song.

Twist & Shout from Ferris Bueller's Day Off on youtube. Interestingly, the clip credits The Beatles, however The Beatles only performed a cover. It's not actually their song.

Never listened to his stuff. Have you seen him live? I'm going to a festival at the end of the month and he's performing a couple acts before the act I'm going to see. Just wondering if he's worth showing up early for? Not to interested in Black Eyed Peas and never heard of Mars Volta either, they follow Mraz. Then it's the headliner for the day.
Some people would complain even if you hang them with a new rope

I've never seen him live, but I know people who share my musical tastes who have seen him in concert. They say he's awesome live. I'd go early. If you've already paid for the ticket, I say why not? the Peas are interesting live. Mars Volta is decent...

Just by some strange coincidence I was driving by the County Fair tonight looking at the carnival rides (I was at a stoplight). I was laughing hysterically at the people on one ride that we're hanging upside down. The song on the i-Pod was So Cruel by U2. :v

Meandering through a random shuffle of all 83 Collective Soul songs on my iPod (Sir Hilly is a "completist"). Taking about 3 days of train commutes to get all the way through. Love these guys -- saw them this past Monday in Connecticut, and they're hanging around NY next week, so I may try to go again.
1)The song which should have been made Australia's national anthem and which remains among the greatest rock songs of all time; 'Khe Sanh' by legendary Aussie rock band Cold Chisel. I truly recommend that American members, who have never heard of Jimmy Barnes and Cold Chisel, listen to this song on youtube. Cold Chisel were a great pub rock band, and were vastly more talented than many current day groups who have achieved international success. 'Khe Sanh' truly was a magnificent song.
2)'Barbie Gir'l by Aqua. Don't laugh, :v I really like Aqua. Yes, I don't listen to them all the time (or even all that much) but I do find them really entertaining. ;%
3)'Touch Me' by The Doors. One of my favourite groups, and one of my favourite Doors songs. Say what you want about some of his antics or his poetry, but Jim Morrison was IMO an absolute freak and The Doors were among the greatest of all rock bands. In fact all four members were arguably masters of their craft, with some of my favourite Doors moments being non-vocal, however that's for another thread.
4)'Sail Away Sweet Sister' by Queen. What, you didn't think I would be listening to a Queen song? :v ) SASS was a lesser known song off 'The Game' and was actually sung by Brian May. I adore May's voice (Alex, I think in this situation, that word is perfectly appropiate )), and I love listening to the songs on which he sang lead, such as this one. Interestingly the great Axl Rose covered this song (or at least part of it) in some concerts in the early 90's. Anyway it's a great song off an album which produced four or five better known songs.

'Need Your Loving Tonight' was indeed a terrific song, but then I have always thought that John Deacon was, pound for pound, one of the best song-writers of his generation.

Made myself a U2 playlist after seeing them live at Sheffield the other night. Excellent gig, and the next day I was still buzzin', so made a playlist on my itunes and listened to about 20 songs
this is such a sad, sad song, yet the melody is strangley enticing....
It's not like my feet are stuck to the floor
it's not like i'm wanting to know about the door
I want you to throw my shoes in the fire
and i'll watch the souls burn
on the funeral pyre

I have a live version of that song from the Live at the Budakon. I guess I should give it another spin. It's been awhile.
