Human – The Killers [song]

I don’t listen to the radio anymore, but my guess is this song is playing on it a bit. Good feeling, quirky lyrics and Brandon Flowers. Hard to go wrong.

Hello Seattle – Of June [Song]

I recently found this song on TheSixtyOne.com and it is awesome. I grew up in Seattle and love the feeling of the city. I have listened to it four times in a row and love it a little more each time.

I’m going to need to pace myself to make sure I don’t kill it.

The lyrics are really pretty random.

Quinn the Eskimo – [Music]

I know the original version of the song was by Bob Dylan, but Manfred Mad did the first commercial release, and I heard this one first so that is how I prefer it :)

Great oldie that surprisingly few have heard. Enjoy.

Check out the lyrics.

It’s Not True – William Fitzsimmons [Music]

Such a great mellow song. It has been labeled as folk, but it seems a bit more than that. The lyrics are a little bit heart wrenching. Not in an over the top fashion, but a real feeling.

I recommend a listen.

Favorite Muxtape Resurrected

So I miss Muxtape.

There is something about mixed tapes on real cassetes that are so much better than cds or mp3s. I miss being forced to listen songs in order. So a challenge – make a mix. A really good one that is dependent on the order of the songs, and share it with someone else. That is the best reason to make a mix.

Here is my Muxtape. Song number 9 is Lovesong by Adam Craw. He is a friend of mine from high school, and I kind of stole it from his computer. He’s on a mission right now in Washington, so he can’t complain too much. :) Enjoy.

Notice imeem tends to suddenly reduce songs to 30 sec clips. Not cool for a good mix. I am looking for alternative to sharing a good mix online without getting in trouble.

Manhattan – Kings of Leon [Music]

Only By the Night

The Kings of Leon are a great band to look into.  Their latest album Only By the Night is just a solid album to just listen a few times, no skipping songs aloud.

It is just sounds like good Rock to me.

Manhattan is one of my favorite songs on the album.  It has a definite bluesy feel, a solid rhythm and lot of personality.

I Wasn’t Made for Fighting – Woodhands [Music Video]

Not Like The Movies – Half Acre Day [Music]

I love the lyrics and the almost feel good, but not quite sound to the song.

Favorite line

I’m going to take you out tonight, and treat you like a princess;
Lock you in a tower and leaver you for an hour.

I love TheSixtyOne.com; it makes me happy.

Genie – Springbok NG [song]

Long story, but it’s good.  I’ll try to keep it brief.

My parents were born and raised in South Africa.  My mom was separated at a young age from her siblings when she was adopted.  She only found her sister in New Zealand a few years ago.  Soon after that I met my long lost cousin for the first time (Mark Baskind) when he came to visit us in Montana.  He brought be a mixed tape (must be genetic) with some amazing South African music.

And that my friends is how I came across this song.  Told you it was a good story.

Springbok Nude Girls have a wide range of style in their music. In Genie you’ll hear descriptive lyrics, scat-ish sounds, horns, and some great rhythms. Perfect song to start off the Song of the Moment.

Be patient if the player takes a little bit to load.
