Just Like Music.....
OK – The Radio Blog is updated with an eclectic mix of crap. If you click the link just underneath it labeled “pop up”, the radio will enter its own window so you can keep listening to my crap while you surf to other places (highly unlikely, I know).
Now I’m sure some of you have looked at the mix of songs and thought one of the following:
“What the fuck?”
“I thought he said he was black…”
“Yup, he definitely went to an all white high school…”
[Note: I laughed while typing all of those questions].
I have varied tastes in food, women, and music – but I can’t very well have a food or women blog without things getting very messy now can I? So there you have it.
Here’s a little bit on my choices:
Common – Because he’s one of few rappers who actually says something that makes sense. I enjoy this. If you’ve never heard him…LISTEN. (Start with “Be”)
Bloc Party – My favorite album right now. British group whose guitar and especially drums (I used to play those bad boys) are just phat as hell. Good lyrics. On the cover of the CD, NME magazine called their CD “as important as The Clash in ‘77”. Pretty high praise… And I don’t particularly like British rock… Love these guys though.
Jay-Z – Arguably the greatest rapper. Undeniably, raps greatest hustler. I admire him immensely for both. ALSO – this song is from the Grey Album. The Grey Album was done by DJ Danger Mouse and mixes Jay-Z’s lyrics with samples from the Beatles. One of the most creative things I’ve ever heard. Again, if you haven’t heard…listen.
The White Stripes – Great sound. Reminds me of Jimi Hendrix…and I love Jimi. “Instinct Blues” is one of the best songs I’ve heard in the last 5 years. Simple concept but brilliant nonetheless. Sound of the song harkens back to BB King or Muddy Waters. Listen to the words…
Coldplay – Commercial as hell? Yes. Still like the sound though…I can’t help it…especially X&Y
Michael Jackson – The fact that he may have touched a child or two doesn’t stop “Thriller” from being one of the greatest albums…..EVER. And “Human Nature” was probably my favorite…although I have a new favorite off of this album every 3 hours or so.
Gorillaz – Super creative group. They don’t sound like anyone else. The last album they collaborated with Del the Funky Homosapien. This go round they grabbed De La Soul, DJ Danger Mouse, MF Doom, and a few others. Not many others are doing that. “Every planet we reach is dead” is a good example of a sound that’s just different.
The Killers – Best Rock Album of 2004. Green Day robbed them last year at the Grammy’s. Yeah! I said it.
Jack Johnson – He’s Jack Johnson…If you don’t know than I probably can’t help you.
Frou Frou – Take drum and bass, and add a very light twist of pop. Not everyone digs it. I do…a little bit.
Foo Fighters – The band few people admit is actually better than Nirvana. Even though it’s true. I just got “In Your Honor” yesterday… So far so good. I chose this song solely after reading CB’s post today.
Peace, Love, & I Don’t Give A Damn If You Don’t Like Not One Of The Songs,
