Jul 23, 2012 at 10:46 AM Post #34,264 of 136,373
Hello there
 
Working from home today, and listening to a mix bag. Sun is out, music a bit on the mellow side today. Here are a few of the tracks I have been listening to.
 
The Beat - Stand Down Margaret One from my school days, still sounds very good, they have just released box sets of all there albums, may have to have a look at these.
Death Cab for Cutie- I will follow you into the dark My god-daughter recommend these to me.
Holly Cole - I can see clearly now  Nice bass line to this, and do like her take on this song.
Norah Jones - Don't know why  Just a lovely voice on this.
Everything but the Girl -I Don't Understand Anything  Chilled out Acoustic number, and there is something about Tracey Thorn voice that appeals to me.
 
 
There may be more.
 
Cheers Frank

Money Is King.  Growling Tiger aka Neville Marcano.  I discovered this song on the website of one of my favorite musicians, Van Dyke Parks.  He has a wonderful cover, available on his site and iTunes.  This, however, is the original.  I found the lyrics on the inter-webs, posted by the ever-present "anonymous":

I found a local thrift shop / antique / flea market-type store that has a bin of used CDs they are selling for $1 each. Naturally, the selection is extremely limited. After digging through, I came up with these for a total of $4. All tracks ripped accurately to FLAC, so I figure not too bad for $4, especially since they are also buying used CDs for $1 each.

Maybe it's telling, though, that what I'm actually listening to is this:

It may sound pretty gritty in some places (voices), but man is it good. These guys can still rock. Really liked the new version of 'For What It's Worth' that was thrown in there, too.

Well recorded, really fun to listen to...Just an all around good album. I don't understand how people would be down on this album. Especially the opening track. Just...wow.
 
Highly recommended for Metal fans.
