a girl and her love of music
Traffic - Feelin’ Alright
Don’t get too lost in all I say
Though at the time I really felt that way
But that was then and now it’s today
You might be thinking, “Hey, isn’t that a Joe Cocker song?” or “That’s from a Friskies cat food commercial, right?” And you would be correct on both counts. But Dave Mason wrote this classic and Traffic was the first to perform it.
Dave Mason - We Just Disagree
I’m going back to a place that’s far away. How bout you?
Have you got a place to stay? Why should I care?
When I’m just trying to get along, We were friends
But now it’s the end of our love song…
I don’t know how many of you even know who Dave Mason is. You really should though. I’ve met the man a few times and had the pleasure of watching him play live many times. Dave was a member of Traffic, played with Hendrix, Clapton, Cass Elliot… I could go on. This track is his top 20 hit from 1977.
Patrick Hernandez - Born To Be Alive
I know St. Patrick’s Day is practically over now but I don’t care.
IT’S GOOD TO BE ALIVE
where the frick is Elena today!?
she out drinking?!
I was frolicking at the end of the rainbow with the little people. ;)
What’d I miss? :)
Electronic - Getting Away With It
However I look it’s clear to see
That I love you more than you love me
Kajagoogoo - Too Shy
Hey girl, move a little closer…
Kool Moe Dee - I Go To Work
Putting words together for recreation
Each rhyme’s a dissertation
You wanna know my occupation
I get paid to rock the nation
Stop the Violence Movement - Self Destruction
KRS-One, D-Nice, Public Enemy, Just-Ice, MC Lyte, Doug E. Fresh, Heavy D and more.
I miss Kool Moe Dee.
hot tea and a book.
hangin’ at one of my favorite local joints.
The Judybats - Being Simple
And I want to be good but good is being simple
Simple is forgetting
I simply can’t forget
(sorry the vid embed is disabled. click to listen/watch and bask in the glory of my playlist emo-ness circa 1993.)
Snoop Dogg ft. Pharrell - Drop It Like It’s Hot
for Ms. Wanda (chiclet)
Happy Belated Birthday, lady!
“Remember that you are an exquisite human being; smart, creative, and important to all who are lucky enough to know you.”
U2 - Tryin’ To Throw Your Arms Around The World
Nothin’ much to say I guess
Just the same as all the rest
Been tryin’ to throw your arms around the world
And a woman needs a man
Like a fish needs a bicycle
Yes… yes it is. And that thing about nostalgia is true too. ;)
I always notice the mistake right when I hit reply. Damn.
Madder Rose - Panic On
Gazing off into the distant past. Jangly guitars and girl singers. Ahhh.
What I want
Is what I hope to find
But I drift up in the air
That is awesome. Are we related? ;)
Timmy T - One More Try
This dude and Stevie B are the kind of whiny music my high school boyfriend liked. It made me want to punch him then too. I have anger issues. I know.
Gwen Stefani - What You Waiting For?
(via grace-notes)
take a chance you stupid hoe
I think I like this song mostly for this line.
Bob Dorough (Schoolhouse Rock) - Three Is A Magic Number
Sometimes it is. Sometimes it’s not. Right, redjeep? ;)
For Sara (inmi)
Deon Estus & George Michael - Heaven Help Me
All of you ladies (and gentlemen) who were big on Wham! should remember this one. Deon was the bass player for George and Andrew.
I was a Duranie but my best friend at the time was a huge Wham! fan. We saw them twice. No regrets, they put on a good show. :)
Ambrosia - That’s How Much I Feel
I like how the guy works this in there toward the end… oh snap.
How’s your life been goin’ on?
I got a wife now, years we’ve been going strong
There’s just something that I got to say
Sometimes when we make love
I still see your face
Ides of March - Vehicle
Someone has to play it. Has anyone played this yet? Oh well, here goes.
Hey, well I’m the friendly stranger
In the black sedan
Oh won’t you hop inside my car?
I got pictures, got candy, I am a lovable man
I’d like to take you to the nearest star
(via writeoneleaf)
They want to, got to have you, child.
OW.
Cameo - She’s Strange
When you think of Cameo, you probably think of “Candy,” “Word Up” and red codpieces. (Oh wait, is that just me?) Anyway, this band has so many more tunes that are equally as funky. This being one of said tunes.
“She’s my twilight zone, my Al Capone”
scottplusfriday just reminded me. it’s time for lunch.
I usually test out the songs I link to, redjeep. I don’t know what’s going on with that. :(
Anyone else having trouble with playing the songs I post?
Otis Redding - (Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay
Whistling and sitting by the water. Both things I have alluded to and done today.
(via writeoneleaf)
It comes in handy when you need someone. You just put your lips together and blow.
Cher - Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves
Thoroughly getting my Cher on. *flips hair*
I blame the grocery store muzak for this.
not suggestive at all!
Human League - Human
one of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis’ compositions….good sound though.
