Where is my mind ?

This is usually my anthem for when the world becomes a bit too much to handle ! so evedintly i have been listening to it quite a bit during the past month...

with the lines :

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
But there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind

how can you not love this song !




Enjoy !

From the folks that brought you "Crazy Bitch"

Thanks to Napster, Kazaa, and now Limewire I buy albums like once in a blue moon. I have to really love the last couple of songs you released + have a down day for me to buy your album. I just picked up Buckcherry's latest album titled 15 and I LOVE this song. I've heard it before and LOVED it but I didn't know it was by Buckcherry.

Enjoy Everything by Buckcherry

My rockstar dancer personal trainer!

I've been meaning to post this one at 7aki's suggestion, here it comes! I mentioned before on my blog that my new personal trainer (btw she totally kicked my ass yesterday) plays in an Indie rock band along with her husband. They've toured a few times and have landed in the top 20 on college radio stations throughout the US.

When I mentioned to her that I watched their performances on youtube her reply was "I'm sorry about that." Apparently they really hate the way those videos and performances turned out and are hoping to replace them with better ones. I had to listen to it a few times before I started feeling it, but this one is my favorite.

The band is called We Landed on the Moon, the song is "one of a kind!" ......what do you think?

Favorite Christmas Tunes

I don't care what some grinches say about Christmas tunes but I love them and they make Christmas so special. Every single store front out there is broadcasting the music and I can't get enough.

So here are my favourites in no particular order.

1) Jingle Bell Rock: One of the holiday songs that ROCK sung by Billy Idol. See Dave? He's family friendly too.



2)Jingle Bells: It's not Christmas without this classic, I chose a jazzy version by Diana Krall who happens to be Canadian.



3)I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas: Don't ask me why but I love it and I think it's cute. Apparently there's a story behind it, check it out



4)The Christmas Song - Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire: sung by Nat King Cole



5) Deck the halls: sung By twisted sister. A rock version.



6)Let it snow: by Michael Bublé. He has the most amazing voice and he's good looking AND he's funny! Ahhh, I love Bublé .



Here's an interview with him...SIGH...so hot! And funny AND he's another Canadian.



7) ROCKIN' AROUND : By Brenda Lee Another rokin' song Thanks to Moi for reminding me of another favorite.



8) Feliz Navidad ~ Merry Christmas : No Christmas party is complete without it.



What's your favorite Xmas song?

Faithless - Mass Destruction

A truly brilliant and underrated track that manages to speak wisdom as well as be a cool dance song, a balance that is very rarely achieved.




"With a long range weapon or suicide bomber
Wicked mind is a weapon of mass destruction

Whether you're stowaway's son or BBC 1
Mis-information is a weapon of mass destruction

You could a caucasian or a poor asian
Racism is a weapon of mass destruction

Whether inflation or globalisation
Fear is a weapon of mass destruction

Whether Haliburton, Enron or anyone
Greed is a weapon of mass destruction

We need to find courage, overcome
Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction
Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction
Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction"

R.E.M. - Furry Happy Monsters

They say that you haven't really achieved true stardom status until you've been invited as a guest on the hit American children's television show, Sesame Street. I was delighted to one day catch R.E.M. performing a parody of their hit song, "Shiny Happy People". (This took place way back when my kids were of Sesame Street watching age.)



Here's the actual song, for those who have never heard it:

Timbaland - Apologize

This is a new ear-catching tune from Timbaland ... this man really knows what he's doing ...

Enjoy !

I'm holding on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground
And I'm hearing what you say but I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around, and say...

Chorus
That it's too late to apologize
It's too late
I said it's too late to apologize
It's too late

I'd take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
[Apologize lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

But it's nothing new - yeah
I loved you with the a fire red-
Now it's turning blue, and you say...
"Sorry" like the angel
Heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid...

Chorus
Whoaa ohhh...

Bridge (guitar/piano)

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah-
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah-
I'm holding on your rope, got me ten feet... off the ground...

Billy Idol - Cradle of Love

Peroxide blonde, snearing punk crooner, Billy Idol, released the hit song, "Cradle of Love" on his fourth studio album Charmed Life in 1990. I was 14 when I first saw the video. It is not really suitable for kids, but I was one year past "teenager" status and was mesmerized. Once you watch it, you'll see why.

At the 1990 MTV Video Music Award, the video was nominated for Best Male Video and Best Special Effects and won the award for Best Video from a Film. Oh, and the song rocks.

And did you know that the director, David Fincher, made the decision to film Idol from the waist up as he was unable to walk from a motorcycle accident that had happened in February 1990?

Black Crowes-She Talks To Angels

I just spend around half an hour trying to figure out the name of the song and the artist by googling what I could remember of the lyrics. I was driving home after having a bad day; a lot of things just went wrong and I got into one of those moods where I felt hopeless and overwhelmed. I turned on the radio and the acoustic version of this song had just started playing, it was excactly what I needed to hear!

I couldn't find a good acoustic version on youtube but here it is, enjoy She talks to angels by Black Crowes.

10 songs that make me SMILE

There are a lot of ‘good mood’ songs that are fun to listen to anytime. But there are a few that, no matter what kind of a state I’m in, never fail to bring out a huge smile and remind me that things aren’t that bad. I am indebted to the following artists for saving me a countless number of times…


Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody

As silly as it may sound ("MAMA MIA FIGARO!!") this is actually a very complicated song to play and anyone who knows music can agree that it’s nothing short of genius. But it’s one of those tracks that’s 100 times better when you sing along completely off key and then head bang at the cool guitar part (a la Wayne’s World)!

Aha - Take on me

Other than the fact that it is very uplifting itself, this song brings back sooooo many childhood memories and immediately brings a smile to my face. Once again, singing along is a must for the full ‘happy’ effect, especially that really high note that sounds like it could break glass, but when you try it sounds like a dying cat.

Sway - Little Derek

What I like about this track from relatively new British rapper Sway is that it injects innocence into hip hop. With mostly all other modern rap consisting of guns, bitches & hoes, this is a really refreshing interlude with a playful lyrical flow.

Electric Light Orchestra – Mr. Blue Sky

Whether it’s a really beautiful day or not, this always makes me feel like it’s an especially cool day in the middle of summer. Expect a huge grin to surface as you remember the last great summer day you had.

Lilly Allen – Smile

A completely obvious choice. Though the subject matter isn’t really that happy (more like ‘you go girl, men aint shit’ kind of lyrics), the music and her voice are always uplifting nonetheless.

George Baker Selection - Little Green Bag

I don’t think I will ever be able to listen to this song and NOT think of the intro sequence to Reservoir Dogs. Especially if I’m on the move and listening on headphones, I always subconsciously start walking in slow motion…

Nelly - Ride wid me

That riff is just awesome! And even though I am usually anti materialism and trivialities…sometimes it’s fun to pretend!

Mika - Grace Kelly

The first time I heard this all I could think was “fudge-packer!” But it does have a really infectious way of growing on you, and before you know it you’re dancing manically to it in your room singing into a brush. Or not…


Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood

“I’m happy, I’m feeling glad, I got sunshine…in a bag” Brilliant.


The Doors – Whiskey Bar

Jim Morrison was a legend. But he was also a drunk, and this song I feel encapsulates those happy, blurry party moments of the ‘lizard king’.

Youssou N'Dour - Seven Seconds

This is one of good old ones ... it has a sweet mystic tone ... it was an international hit back in 1994 ... does anyone one remember how much they used to play it on JTV2 ??

Ladies and Gentelmen ... Youssou N'Dour & Neneh Cherry ... Seven Seconds ...

Boul ma sene, boul ma guiss madi re nga fokni mane
Khamouma li neka thi sama suuf ak thi guinaw
Beugouma kouma khol daldine yaw li neka si yaw
Mo ne si man li ne si mane moye dilene diapale

{TRANSLATION:}
{Don't see me from a distance}
{Don't look at my smile}
{And think that I don't know}
{What's under and behind me}
{I don't want you to look at me and think}
{What's in you is in me}
{What's in me is to help them}

Roughness and rudeness, we should be using
On the ones who practice wicked charms
For the sword and the stone, bad to the bone
Battle's not over even when it's won

And when a child is born into this world
It has no concept of the tone the skin is living in

It's not a second, seven seconds away
Just as long as stay, I'll be waiting
It's not a second, seven seconds away
Just as long as stay, I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting

J'assume les raisons qui nous poussent de changer tout
J'aimerais qu'un dublie leur couleur pour qu'ils esperent
Beacoup de sentiments de race qui font qu'ils desesperent
Je veux les portes grandement ouvertes
Des amis pour parler de leur peine
De leur joie pour qu'ils leur filent
Des infos qui ne divisent pas changer

{TRANSLATION:}
{I assume the reasons that push us to change everything}
{I would like us to forget about their color}
{So they can try to be optimistic}
{Too many views on race that make them desparate}
{Let's leave the door wide open}
{So they can talk about their pain and joy}
{Then we can give them information}
{That will bring us all together}

Seven seconds away
Just as long as stay, I'll be waiting
It's not a second, seven seconds away
Just as long as stay, I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting

And when a child is born into this world
It has no concept of the tone the skin is living in
And there's a million voices
And there's a million voices
To tell you what she should be thinking
So you better sober up for just a second

Seven seconds away
Just as long as stay, I'll be waiting
It's not a second, seven seconds away
Just as long as stay, I'll be waiting
It's not a second, seven seconds away
Just as long as stay, I'll be waiting
It's not a second, seven seconds away
Just as long as stay, I'll be waiting
It's not a second, seven seconds away
Just as long as stay, I'll be waiting

Metallica - Hero Of The Day

One of my favourite songs of all time ... I really like Metallica's songs and this one is no exception ... Here it is in the famous S&M Concert version ...

Enjoy !

Mama they try and break me

The window burns to light the way back home
A light that warms no matter where they've gone

They're off to find the hero of the day
But what if they should fall by someone's wicked way

Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Do you feel your names?
Can't you hear your baby's crying?
Mama they try and break me
Still they try and break me

S'cuse me while I tend to how I feel
These things return to me that still seem real

Now deservingly this easy chair
But the rocking stopped by wheels of despair

Don't want your aid
But the fist I've made
For years, can't hold or feel
No I'm not all me
So please excuse me
While I tend to how I feel

But now the dreams and waking screams
That everlast the night
So build a wall
Behind it crawl
And hide until it's light
Can't you hear your baby's crying now?

Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Can't you hear your names?
Can't you hear your baby's crying?

But now the dreams and waking screams
That everlast the night
So build a wall
Behind it crawl
And hide until it's light
Can't you hear your baby's crying now?

Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try
Mama they try hey!
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try
Mama they try
