‘I Don’t Wanna Talk About It’ by Everything But The Girl

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

This version is so much lovelier than Rod Stewart’s version. But the best version is when Puppy sings it while playing the guitar :)
I can tell by your eyes that you’ve probably been cryin’ forever,
and the stars in the sky don’t mean nothin’ to you, they’re a mirror
I don’t wanna talk about it, how [...]

“You’ve got magic inside your fingertips
It’s leaking out all over my skin”

Movida at St. James Powerhouse
I must say, for a free event, Class95 was smart enough to keep the invited list small so that the queue was manageable and Movida wasn’t unduly crowded. The wait wasn’t too interminable either; we got there at 7.15, [...]

INT THE WIDDLE BOY SO KYOOOT!

‘Wouldn’t It Be Nice’ by The Beach Boys

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

Wouldn’t it be nice if we were older
Then we wouldn’t have to wait so long
And wouldn’t it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong
You know it’s gonna make it that [...]

Retro love

Monday, February 18th, 2008

I’m chucking the music of the millennium out the window and returning to my roots. I’ve spent rather a blissful night getting my hands on 80’s and 90’s music and listening to cheesy old songs with ecstatic abandon.
‘Piano In The Dark’ by Brenda Russell, ‘All Through The Night’ by Cyndi Lauper, ‘California [...]

Please don’t stop the music, Oh God please stop it

I don’t know what Rihanna’s problem is but her last two singles have been nothing short of soul-destroyingly annoying.
If I hear that song just one more time I am going to stuff the radio full of fish guts and feed it to a twelve-foot crocodile in the Amazon river.
(Wait. Are there crocs in the [...]

‘Sitting Down Here’ by Lene Marlin

Friday, February 1st, 2008

Those of my generation will remember Norwegian teen singer Lene (pronounced Lay-nuh) Marlin. She popped up sometime when I was in secondary school, I think, and then proceeded to become a two-hit wonder - ‘Unforgivable Sinner’ and ‘Sitting Down Here’. Found the latter streaming on the web after Hannah and I spontaneously broke [...]

Guess That Voice!

Friday, January 25th, 2008

The video is not important - the vocals are.
Don’t you think that voice just sounds so deliciously 60’s jazz singer? I lovelove the sound. And guess who’s the singer? GUESS!

Answer is after the jump!

‘Five Loaves and Two Fishes’ by Corrinne May

Thursday, December 6th, 2007

Whatever little you have, give it all…it’s never too little for the Lord :) Even the widow gave her two cents to God and it was taken with love…don’t ever think that what you have is too small or not good enough - when you give all you have, it’s big enough and good [...]

‘The Answer’ by Corrinne May

Thursday, November 22nd, 2007

I believe you are the answer to every tear I’ve cried
I believe that you are with me,
My rising and my light.
Give me strength when I am weary
Give me hope when I can’t see
Through the crosses I must carry
Lord, bind my heart to thee
That when all my days are over
and all my chores are done,
I [...]
