Song of the Day - Ida Corr f. Fedde Le Grand - Let Me Think About It

Okay, so normally this is the day where I post something that is playing right now. Unfortunately, I can't find anything that I haven't posted already. In addition, the stuff that I haven't posted, I'm not really into. So here I go posting something recent-ish. And very danc-y :-)

Vids from Irish Bands for St Patrick's Day

Three videos from three bands that I enjoy on differing levels, all Irish of course since it's St. Patrick's Day.

Irish Punk: Flogging Molly - Drunken Lullabies



Irish Alternative: The Cranberries - Linger



Irish Rock: (Bonus! Edge!) U2 - Numb

Song of the Day (80s Edition) The Cure - Lullaby

Here I go again stretching the bounds of generations. This song was released in 1989, but of course it can be played almost a year after it's release date spilling over to 1990. Oh well.

Speaking of 1989, people born in 1989 will be 21 years old this year. I'm being slightly reflective in this post. I was born in the late 70s and am a child of the 80s, my musical influence is mainly late 80s onward. So early 80s was vague and the 70s are years that happened before me and seems like history. Now that i have reached the third decade of my life, I realize the stuff I experience is history to the ones who are in their 20s. In terms of music, Disco was before my time so I never really connected with it, except by way of how others see it, none of my own experience. New Wave for those in their early 20s will be the same way, they cannot put the music into their life, only by way of those who lived it. And as I get older more people will be unable to connect with the music I connected to because it will only be in their history. My comfort: others have experienced this small epiphany and others WILL experience this epiphany.

Band of the Day: Abba

Yes, Band of the day instead of song of the day. That's because Abba is being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! They have brought infectious dance/disco music to the world and has been a tremendous influence to many bands. Their music has been used in a popular Broadway musical and several movies.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony will take place at The Waldorf-Astoria on March 15, 2010 at 8:30 p.m. EST, and will be televised live on Fuse and available on http://www.fuse.tv.

So to commemorate their induction:

Song of the Day - Lady Gaga - Telephone

Yeah I had to post this as soon as possible. It's been a a big buzz as far as my sphere of influence, so I figure I share it with others. Enjoy!

oh and enjoy the special guest, no not Beyonce, but rather what Beyonce is in. Bonus Points if you know where its from.

Song of the Day (80s edition) - Jody Watley - Looking For a New Love

Drawing from my oddly vast memory of music, I bring you Jody Watley. You know my music taste has gone through quite an evolution since my first cassette tape (that's right cassette tape kids!!!) Right from then, I should've known a little about myself. My first cassette was Information Society and the music I started to listen to mostly were dance songs. I think my second tape was Paula Abdul. From there, my taste went to hip/hop rap. When rap started turning gangster, I took a giant leap to Alternative/ Rock. So my music influence is all over the map, though Country just evades me.

Nevertheless, dance songs were apparently my first love and no matter how much I tried to deny it, I just love these songs that make me move my body in a dancing sorta way.

Song of the Day: The Gorillaz - Stylo

Wow! I mean wow!! New Gorillaz... new video... loving it and Noodle?! WTMFH!!!!!
