I’m listening to some live recordings from almost 5 years ago of my old band. You can listen to them too if you like - the links to them are through their site (which I made) - http://groups.msn.com/Supertrip :)

P.S. The band’s name was Supertrip, and I’m aware that there is another band of that name, somewhere. But we didn’t know until after the band split up. :-/

Thief Of Hearts by
Madonna

I adore that!!! specialy the clip.

vax: I like Music over ROL; how about you? I suppose you disagree as everyone seem to do ;)

yes i like ROL better than music cause ROL is so powerful, her strongest cd ever plus it has everything in pop,dance,ballads,classic maddy songs,guitars etc

so when music came out i was expecting too much and it just didnt happen...music is good but not better than ROL...too sweet too low-tone for my taste..

but then again her best song ever Power Of Goodbye is on ROL...

I also agree, ROL is a drop better than Music, I wonder what her NEW album “American Life” is going to sound like????

Today...Opportunity Nox, like 20 times!!
Also, Elvis Costello (The Very Best Of–2CD set)

Please forgive me... lovely Bryan

I’m not Mr. NSYNC and I’m not what your friends think
I’m not Mr. Friendly
I can be a prick, if you tip me my tank is on empty
No patience is in me and if you offend me I’m lifting you ten feet
In the air, I don’t care who was there and who saw me just jaw you
Go call you a lawyer file you a lawsuit
I’ll smile in the courtroom and buy you a wardrobe
I’m tired of arguing - I don’t mean to be mean but that’s all I can be
It’s just me.....

Real Slim Shady

Sheryl Crow - it’s only love

@Storm > Sorry mate, I too like ROL better than Music.. same arguements as Vax.. ROL is so rich of different styles and sounds combined with great lyrics.
So I am looking forward to American Dream. If it’s the quality is somewhere in between of ROl and Music, It’ll be very satisfying

Ok. It´s “American Life” actually. I just don´t like those few weird songs on ROL. (Shanti/Ashtangi and Ray Of Light). But I love Nothing Really Matters.
Peace!

eminem - sing for the moment!!! man i luuuuuuuuuv this song!!!

I thought it got changed in “American Dream”.. hmm.. that news must have been incorrect then.. tnx :-)

As far as I know, the song and album are still being called “American Life”, no changes.

Sandra Cretu– “My Favourites”
Kelly Osbourne– “Shut Up”
Ozzy Osbourne– “The Essential Ozzy Osbourne” (2CD set)

ahaha, eminem - till I collapse , I love THAT song
(but I love Sing for the moment, also... well, in fact I like much of the Eminems’s work...)

*waiting to get killed by some of the readers*

Eminem is ok! I don’t have cd’s of him, but judged on the songs I did hear I think he’s very creative.

eva dahlgren!

what is this Mono - Life In Mono you guys are talking about?

@stormkeeper - who’s talking about what??

Shakira’s whenever,wherever yelling out of my sis’ discman :DD

@i jera: some of you :)

Busted’s self titled album. Just downloaded it. It’s track 4 playing now, the album’s better than I’ve expected. Catchy melodies, but still, have some guitars in the songs. Not that typical boyband-sh!t. Worths a listening. Anyone knows them or have an opinion on them?

@ Storm - and if you tell me about what some of us are talking, will be great =)

Anouk - It wasn’t me

to answer your question: Mono - Life In Mono

ok, I still don’t understand, then I change my question : Where some of us are talking about that?
@ Pietro - dunno, never heard them... I’ll d/l some songs to try.

I am listening to Thomas (Evensson - TDR editor) on the radio ;)

www.radioljusdal.nu

Me too *g* At least I was...

and tomorrow moooore :P from 2 to 4 pm hihi he will play some Party! ;)

@Stormkeeper:

You must have read about “Life in Mono: by Mono” which I posted in the topic “Song of the Day”. –Not here–.

Anyway, why don’t you download the song to find it out. It is a song from a Gwyneth Paltrow movie “Great Expectations”.

————–

Anyway, a song I’m currently listening to right now is “David Duchovny” by: Bree Sharp. Which is actually quite good.
Any X-Files fan here??? This Bree Sharp lady is a big fan of David D that she wrote a song about him.

In what Stormkeeper was asking about, Mono are an English male/female electronic duo, and “Life In Mono” was their biggest hit off their only album “Formica Blues”, from 1996. The song is a masterpiece, one of the best singles of the 90s, and the album, “Formica Blues”, as a whole is pretty grand, not just the 1 song, but all the cuts on it. Another similar band I love is Solar Twins. These duos follow the example set by acts like Eurythmics, when they were electronic-based.

Oh, thanks guys. I love Electronica so I should check it out soon. Some folks at work played some Air and it sounded very interesting. I was only familiar with “Sexy Boy” before I think.
Do you know Olive? Is it real Electronica? I suppose you´re familiar with big hit You´re Not Alone which ATB made trance version of recently. Great song.

@Twilight-Ghost: Little Spooky is a big X-Files fan!

Now I´m listening to Duran Duran “Arena” album by the way.
*Voice from the past*

Um yes, Stormkeeper, Olive is another similar group. They released a second album on Maverick, Madonna’s label, called “Trickle” I think, which was just as great. Um, plus, their singer Ruth Ann, she contributed vocals to some cuts on Enigma’s 4th album “The Screen Behind The Mirror” from 2000, including the singles “Gravity Of Love” and “Silence Must Be Heard”.

Silence Must Be Heard single???! was it? *oh, I’ve missed something again...*

SMBH was not a single release but Ruth Ann sang on it.
I love Enigma, I have all his 4 albums plus LSD remix album. I´m so much into Sandra Cretu as well. Don´t miss her newest album Wheel Of Time, it´s great.

okay, I’ll hear it... I’m also kind-of fan of Enigma. (having all the albums, and much of the Michael & Sandra ’ s work, and I like the most a lot)
and now i’m listening to Family Portrait by Pink

Simon and Garfunkel - The sound of silence

@Santi I recently bought S&G‘s collection! The Boxer and Sound Of Silence are my favourites:)

No, SMBH was not an actual single, to me, it was an evolving of Sandra’s song/single “I Need Love” from “Close To Seven”, don’t you agree?? Anyhoo, the song was on their hits collection “LSD” (my initials, actually!!). I am a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE Sandra Cretu fan, she is just so so beautiful, my dreamgirl, but she is happily taken!! I collect her stuff, and “Wheel Of Time” is a grower. For the longest time, I was VERY disappointed with it, but I really like it now. I like anything those 2 have ever touched, I have 2 videotapes of videoclips, TV interviews, TV performances, etc, that someone sent me from South Africa and I had converted to NTSC, just wish there would be a videos DVD of Sandra stuff. And also ARABESQUE (Sandra’s girlgroup from 1979-1984)!!!! Michael Cretu is a musical GOD to me!! I love his stuff too, Enigma, TAAW, solo pre-Enigma, Moti Special, everyone he ever produced!! I’m trying to collect EVERYTHING, and I have a nice amount, but I’m missing so much more!!

In the other forum they’re copying this thread...

And with bad ortography in the name of the thread... :p

Springsteen - but then, when am I not?!

well today i just put in cd one of the marie box set...het vind is ok i guess it has alot of variety ..i guess being introdouced to her with i en tid som var give me a diffewrent idea of her style :) i will listen on :)

you guys do know that michael cretus used to make soundtracks to porn movies right? btw the screen behind the mirror wasn’t their best effort...but tis still good their dvd is great too

coyboy, I didn´t know about Cretu plus porno, how do you know?

Hanna från Arlöv, by Lisa Miskovsky :) really nice :)

I´m so much into Lisa Miskovsky! She´s great, I have her English album and waiting for new one:)

Do you know the song Hanna från Arlöv? It’s a very nice folk song :)

No, I havent heard anything from her in Swedish.
You have good taste, Santi! My fav is a song called Quietly.

Kim Wilde
Born To Be Wild (2002)

I’m listening to the radio, how my favourite football team (Real Sociedad) is wining 3-0 against our neighbour team (Alavés).

Coooooooooooooooooooooool!!!!!!!!!!! :DDDDDDDD

Cry me a river .... Justin Timberalke

DJ Sammy : Heaven “candlelight remix”

This sng makes me quiet,i love it :)

DJ Sammy : Heaven “candlelight remix”

Very nice and romantic...
Someone sent to me ;)

Aerosmith : Jaded :p

I like DJ Sammy´s Heaven too but if Santi really likes it I´m a bit surprised... :p hehe

Storm

Well, it was a remix of the Bryan Adams song “Heaven” :P With piano’s and so on :D

Now I’m back to my genre... listening to The Bangles! :p

Well, actually right now I’m listening to “Intermission - Piece of my heart” :D Back to the techno dance :D... it’s Saturday night anyway :p And Vicky doesn’t hear it :p

who´s Vicky? :p
What The Bangles album? I´ve got In Your Room :p
Oh, I love that Intermission song too... another very good one from them: “6 days” :P

Storm

Sunday morning..... same as always... local radio.... TOWER FM!

At this moment I’m listening to Foreigner’s “I Wanna Know What Love Is”– not voluntarily, of course. :-)

New Canadian powerpop girlband LILLIX!!!!!!! OMG, they are really great!! They were compared to Avril, like a girlband version of her, but in reality, they are more like the Bangles but with more guitar crunch, and a touch of Alanis’ lyrical depth + darkness. Their debut CD is called “Falling Uphill” and is on Madonna’s label, Maverick. She signed them after seeing an acoustic set by them in her office...

OH,San,shame on you,don’t cheat on Vicky :p

FGTH: Two Tribes.

joy division

the white stripes - seven nation army

Anouk : R U kidding me?

Oh, Vicky is my electric guitar! :p

The Calling : Could it be any harder

For me,this is the most special beautiful song ever written!!!!!!!!

Joy Division are a great band. I’m not listening to them right now, but I did yesterday when I couldn’t sleep ...lying in my bed with my huge headphones on. it was wonderful

Hey StupidGirl, you mean Joy Division WERE a great band, which I flat out agree with. When singer Ian Curtis killed himself, the other members regrouped and became New Order, who are just as great but in a different way...

Right now, I’m listening to the wonderful new album by alt-country/rock singer/songwriter Lucinda Williams, called “World Without Tears”, just amazing!! She the female Bob Dylan basically.

“Crackpot” by Ric Ocasek.
Thanks to powerpoplarry I found this genious! Thank you very muck pplarry!

Joy Division is the most depressing sounding thing I’ve ever heard :/

@Powerpoplarry: Yeah, you’re right. Of course I know about Ian Curtis’ suicide. And I find it really amazing how they could go on after that and form New Order... you’d think they’d be even more depressed, but I find New Order’s music rather positive. They’re a great band, too.:) Do you know whether they’re working on a new album?

@Sanit: Joy Division’s sound is depressing, that’s true... but I don’t find that bad... at least they can touch me. that’s also an achievement.

LEMON
STAY WITH ME
Everything gets turned around
I am king of lost and found
Surely you want more?

It’s funny how we always lose
Put no bet on what we choose
Who said we need more?

Stay with me, stay with me
Stay my fallen beauty queen
Stay with me, stay with me
Stay my fallen beauty queen

This is all beyond control
Murder on our frozen souls
Maybe you want more

No more secrets to disclose
Draw the curtains, kill the phone
Maybe we want more?

Stay with me, stay with me
Stay my fallen beauty queen
Stay with me, stay with me
Stay my fallen beauty

If you care, then just don’t let me bleed
If you care, if you care

Stay with me, stay with me
Stay my fallen beauty queen
Stay with me, stay with me
Stay my fallen beauty

What do you think about this!!! :) I just love it :)

@stupidgirl - thanx for agreeing! Joy division are WAY depressing, but they really get into you in a way that few other bands do. Do you like the Doors? I love them, for me they are a truly classic band.

budda is a girl - buddaboys

My supervisor’s preach on life!!! Very very boring!

right now i’m listening MADREDEUS. is a portuguese band. Amaaaziinngg!!!! The singer has one of the most beautiful voices I ever heard in my life:) Their music is so calm and relaxing.

At this very moment, my airconditioning and the sound of the laptop’s fan turning on. Exciting huh? ;)

Jackie, LOL!!! Um yes, StupidGirl, Joy Division was probably THE most depressing band out there, but they were quite cathartic and burrowed their way into the hearts + minds of tons of fans + musicians.

Honestly, you couldn’t get more dark and depressing than JD, so when Ian left this place, really, for the others, the only way was up, positive, couldn’t get any lower, emotionally, so yes, New Order was up, dancey + positive, but retaining the honesty and awkwardness of their JD days. New Order are loved as much and considered as influential as Joy Division, they are mentioned in the same breath.

I’m guessing we are all checking out the mazarin samples too

We are not thanks to his majesty Thomas Evensson.

my favorite album So Red The Rose by Arcadia.
Some Kim Wilde and Ace Of Base.

Storm

Madonna - Erotica

Depeche Mode - Violator album

I Mother Earth - Like The Sun

I haven’t heard any of the Mazarin samples either, sniff, but I am excited by them, as 1 song I hear is like Blondie’s “Atomic”, which is SUCH a cool classic song!! If I ever see Debbie Harry around (met her about 3 times), I will inform her about her influence on Per. I hung out with another of his influences a few times, Joey Ramone.

Today, my list of stuff I heard was as follows:
Roxette: “The Pop Hits”
The Thorns: “The Thorns” (Matthew Sweet’s new project/sideband with Shawn Mullins + Pete Droge)
The Sounds: “Living In America”
Hepburn: “Hepburn” (now obscure all-girl UK band, had a single “I Quit” on the “Buffy” TV soundtrack)
Thunderbugs: “Delicious” (another now-obscure UK-based all-girl band: 2 girls are English, 1 German and 1 French, had a single “Friends Forever” on the soundtrack to the movie “Center Stage”, this CD is quite obscure as it may have gotten cancelled at the last minute but a few slipped out, I never see it listed or reviewed anywhere, quite strange!!)
Lillix: “Falling Uphill” (Canadian all-girl band along the same lines as Hepburn, Thunderbugs, rubyblue, the Tuesdays, the Bangles + GoGos. Signed by Madonna to Maverick.)
Rooney: “Rooney”
Haywire: “Bad Boys”
Nerina Pallot: “Dear Frustrated Superstar”

Look Sharp!

“I can see him dance away now oh oh - oh oh oh...”

... the sound of my mouse clicking as I delete e-mails. AND LP’s Meteora.

”....lying my way from Youuuuuuuuuuuu... I wanna be pushed aside so let me goooooooooo...let me take back my life i’d rather be all alooone. Anywhere on my own cause I can seeeeeee... the very worst part of you.. is ME!” :)

Sorry Jackie, I can’t get into Linkin Park, or any of the hard bands that are big here in the US. There is just not enough of a pop element or sensibility to their music for me to like it, as well as a bad pissy attitude. Same goes with Marilyn Manson, Deftones, Staind, Cold, Powerman 5000, all those bands. They also all seem so corporate to me, a trendy fad that won’t last. Like there is no truth to them whatsoever.

Sorry, that’s just me...the 2 newest releases that caught my ear are JEWEL’s “0304” and SUGAR RAY’s “In Pursuit Of Leisure”. The only other NEW and UPCOMING releases I am interested in checking out are as follows:

larry @
do you have that TTD‘A ‘s excellent debut album? It´s timeless
I bet u do ;)
that D2 box-set is so damn expensive but interesting.

Storm

Reamonn, Kate Ryan, Marc Anthony, Shania Twain and Tatu.

Right now i’m listening: Avril Lavigne - I’m with you

@powerpoplarry: You forgot this one -> PER GESSLE, “Mazarin”.

I guess :p

OOPS yes Santi, I forgot to list Per Gessle’s “Mazarin”, DOH!!! I’m slapping myself silly right now. And yes, Storm, TTD’s debut album is utterly classic, I agree. I’ve owned numerous copies over the years, and need it back, never got around to rebuying it, but I will own his catalogue, that’s fer sure, Terence is one of the greats...

Wow - TTD?? I loved his stuff but the last I think I heard of him, he was proclaiming that he was bigger than the Beatles. Thank you powerpoplarry - I will have to check out some of his more recent work!

I´m listening to some Kate Bush,
Kate Ryan,
and Kai Tracid:”Life Is Too Short”

Storm

Hey Shane??? You’re online??? WOOHOO!!!! Yeah, TTD is great, but beware, he changes his style all the time. From what I heard, his new stuff is awesome!!

Storm, all those K’s, LOL!!! Did you get my email about Tik N Tak??

im Listening to
’heart of stone’ by cher . loved when she did rock music best .

Right now i’m listening “Somewhere I belong”, linkin Park.

Lay Down Your Arms - TWATG

Volumia - Afscheid

And it makes me cry :(

yes I did Larry, thanks. Everything´s fine.
Storm

Today I am listening to my old dusty 80´s cassettes. What a decade.

Storm

Kate Winslet - What if

Today–
Puffy AmiYumi: “Nice.” (just kickASS, I *sigh* LUV Puffy, those 2 adorable Japanese girls with their delightful cuisinart powerpop. This new album is mostly in English, woohoo!! ;-D You haven’t truly LIVED until you hear their “Teen Titans Theme”!! Picture “Secret Agent Man” meets Dick Dale surf rock meets 60s girlgroup pop meets the Ramones and their breakdown “T-E-E-N T-I-T-A-N-S, Teen Ti-tans, Let’s Go!!”)

The Everyothers: 5 EPs, just powerpop rock + roll perfection, my buddies from NYC!!

And, don’t laugh, Mandy Moore: “I Wanna Be With You”!! TOTALLY underrated, Mandy is, the best singer to emerge from the teenpop boom from Orlando. Her early stuff, aka this CD, is perfect soulful Europop, and she is evolving too, with that followup being experimental pop, her acting in movies, and now, her cool-as-shit powerpop-sounding covers album called “Coverage”, where she tackles amazing unexpected songs from the 70s and 80s, people like Todd Rundgren, Cat Stevens, Elton John, XTC, the Waterboys, Joan Armatrading, Carole King, and more. I know all your jaws are on the floor right now, haha!! And she is writing songs now too, can’t wait to hear an album of Mandy originals after “Coverage”!!

Spanish eyes BSB

2 Agghh .... I love it! (what you were listening)

right now i am listening to my boyfriend talking on his mobile phone :PP

unchained melody -righteous brothers

Metallica - The Thing That Should Not Be

It’s midnight here, so sorry neighbours! I listen kinda loud :P

Mari, I get it you like Metallica. ;-)

Um, I hate to tel you this, but their new album “St. Anger” is absolutely horrible. Oh god, they have been reduced to LAUGHABLE!! Seriously, and I heard it with some hardcore fans, and we were LAUGHING at how bad it is. The production is like a hatchet job, Bob Rock should be fired. Hardcore fans are up in arms at how bad it is.

Metallica could be finished...

Yeah, Metallica is not so good it used to be. Well, I’m not a fan, I just like to listen some “heavy”, about once a week. I haven’t bought St. Anger, and I’m not going to bought. But it’s kinda intresting that some fans likes the new album, some others doesen’t. I assume that new fans doesen’t like it, but the old fans does.

Nope Mari, NEITHER type of fan like St. Anger!! The old fans think it’s a laughable album, and new fans hate it just the same. It’s a perfect example of why some bands just can’t go home again. It’s almost like them trying desperately to recapture their youth, and it’s painfully obvious that they are trying this in a feeble way.

St Anger?? Try St Hahaha!!!

Mari, I understand you’re not a fan, but want some heavy music to hear once in a while, and that’s cool.

I’m listening to “Gravitation” by Kent

Funny, because I’m writing a paper about remote sensing :D

Hi!

Tycker om när du tar på mej .

ROXETTE - DRESSED FOR SUCCESS (NEW RADIO MIX!!)

HEY Carl!!!! Welcome back!!! ;-)

Today: New Radicals: “Maybe You’ve Been Brainwashed Too”, Gregg Alexander is a flat out GENIUS!!

powerpoplarry, well St. Anger has got pretty good rewievs around the world. Fans I know says album is really hard. You have to listen it about 10 times before you “get it”. It doesen’t open for first listening, so you have to listen it many times. I have heard just one song, the mainsong St. Anger and I don’t like it. Drums sux.

I dunno Mari, I heard almost the whole thing, and the production is horrible, espesh the drum sound. I’ll give it another spin, I’ll hear it on a listening post, yes I know it is hard and thrashy, I heard it myself.

Today:
Again, the New Radicals CD, “Maybe You’ve Been Brainwashed Too”, utter genius.

Oh my god, the BRILLIANT debut album by KENNA, “New Sacred Cow”!! All I say is, WOW!! Really original, creative, a bit 80s retro but modern/futuristic, and very tuneful/catchy. This sucker was supposed to be released a year ago on Fred Durst’s label Flawless/Geffen, but it kept on getting delayed and pushed back. Eventually, enough of a buzz built on Kenna and this album, that Columbia bought out his contract and released the album today. Credit goes to Matt Pinfield, who is now A+R over at Columbia, and having been the VJ on MTV’s cool, underground/alternative show “120 Minutes”, he is a musicologist and totally with-it on cool artists and bands. He must have had an advance Flawless CD of the album, as he became a fan, and basically saved this album, and Kenna himself, from a horrible fate. Good deal, as he will now get an audience he deserves, Kenna is briliant. He looks like Tupac, but has more in common with The Cure and Depeche Mode!! A guy from the Neptunes, Chase Chad, he produced it amazingly cool. Buy this IMMEDIATELY!!!

The other thing, and don’t laugh, Swedish girlgroup PLAY’s new CD, “Replay”, which is basically perfect pop, moving from bubblegum to artful, rock-tinged, 60s-flavoured girlpop. Very solid record, varied, tuneful, and soulful. Play rocks!!

Hey Larry!!! Thanks!! How are you?

Carlos E., New York.

Hey Carl, you’re welcome!! I’m OK, flying to London on Friday for my brother’s wedding. Still game for the city??

and so in love w manic street preachers

desaparecidos - read music/speak spanish

and before that

vive la fête - nuit blanche

Maroon 5 & Counting Crows Best of. Also bought The Darkness, dammit.

Here’s what I am listening to right now:

HOWIE DAY: “Stop All The World Now” (hands down, THE best album of 2003, yet no one’s ever heard it outside the northeastern US, Coldplay fans would wet themselves if they ever heard this record...I’m seriious!! Totally moving, beautiful and brilliant...)
ANGGUN: “Open Hearts” Soundtrack (VERY cool and severely overlooked)
PHANTOM PLANET: “Phantom Planet” (at first, like the Strokes, but it gets much deeper and diverse and rewarding, retaining their powerpop roots underneath the noise)
LISA STANSFIELD: “The Complete Collection” (6CD box set of all her albums remastered with bonus tracks, hands down THE best female singer to really emerge in the 90s, from the UK or anywhere, and knowing how the music scene is nowadays, her stuff sounds more refreshing and vital than ever before...flat out amazing...totally underrated and a class act...)

Well I am listening to a mix cd with all sorts of oldies but goodies and new stuff on it...but the current song is: 3 Doors Down “Here Without You”*~sniffles~* this song makes me all sadness and chokes me up everytime i hear it............*~wanders off somewhere to have a good cry~*

~*Babie*~

I’m listening to Breathe, by Michelle Branch. I’ve just checked Media Player, its had 83 plays since I bought the CD on Monday (sheesh!) I can’t stop listening to it...love the line “If I just Breathe, and let it fill the space between I’ll know, everything is alright...”

Givs me shivers, i love it :)

Rony: you really can´t find that song??
........................................................

Jennifer Brown: Weak
Reamonn: Star
Duran Duran “Pop Trash”
Alcazar: “Not A Sinner, Not A Saint”
Nena & Kim Wilde duet

does someone remember huge 1996 air-play hit I Love You Always Forever by Donna Lewis? Was she one-hit-wonder?

@storm: Yes! that song reminds me of someone I used to know!
She had one other hit called ’Without love’.
I got the album from a bargin bin, its a bit weak, but there is a beatiful ballad on there called ’Simone’ which is worth a listen.

the doors and motorpsycho

New Order “Low Life”
Boytronic “Working Model”
Barcode Brothers “BB02” - especially the Synth/Rock track “Slave” it blows my mind :-)

Listening a lot to the new Texas album (“Careful What You Wish For”) (well... new in Canada, it came out Jan. 13th!)... I love it, some really great pop/rock tunes on there mixed in with the more dancy stuff they started branching out to on “The Hush”... anyone else got this CD?

Hey Babie, 3DD is decent, kind of a guilty pleasure for me...

And Bleu, I am a HUGE Michelle Branch fan, she is solid and consistent radio powerpop...”Breathe” is such a great tune, hooks upon hooks, too bad it didn’t go higher than #36 on the US Billboard Hot 100, deserved better...took me a while to buy the record “Hotel Paper” too cuz the Japanese import is the one to get, and it’s like $30 US here. Why that one?? Cuz it has “The Game Of Love” with Santana on it, and her B-side “Wanting Out”. The US version is incomplete without them. The next single should be “’Til I Get Over You”, the album’s secret weapon, with the French lyrics in the chorus, SUCH a great song, and it has HIT written all over it!!

Stormy, I hear Alcazar is a cool band, I should check em out (I can get the import here), and as for Donna Lewis?? She’s like a weak Cyndi Lauper, both albums were ehhhh!!! She had that one big hit, the other charters were minor and missed the US-Top 40.

And, OH, I LOVE Texas!!! Total unknowns here in the US, but I heard the 1st single on the new album, the one with the hiphop guy, and it’s a really cool song!! I need to get their stuff back...the new album is not out in the US, who knows if it will ever be?? No US deal, at least I don’t think so...one song from the new album is on the “Love Actually” soundtrack, out here on J/BMG, so we’ll see...not surprised it’s out in Canada, they get stuff there not released here, espesh if it’s from Europe + the UK...

CURRENTLY LISTENING TO:
NU: “AlphaBravoShockpopDisco!!” (my fave new Scandinavian band, from Denmark!! Think AQUA played by The Strokes in the garage, cheap minimal production, killer bubblegummy/new-waveish tunes, even a bit Elastica-ish!! Groovy!!)

THE DANDY WARHOLS: “Welcome To The Monkey House” (Brilliant, like 70s glam meets new wave, T-Rex meets Duran Duran!!)

DAVID PEEL + THE LOWER EAST SIDE: “And The Rest Is History: The Elektra Recordings” (Classic 60s hippie/punk, by John Lennon’s hero, David Peel, the TRUE godfather of punk!!)

VARIOUS ARTISTS: “We’re A Happy Family: A Tribute To Ramones” (AWESOME, brilliant tribute album, with killer artists doing Ramones covers: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rob Zombie, Eddie Vedder w/ Zeke, Metallica, U2, KISS, Marilyn Manson, Garbage, Green Day, The Pretenders, Rancid, Pete Yorn, The Offspring, Rooney, Tom Waits + The Ataris!! Some artists I am not big on but do great Ramones tunes here, liner notes by Stephen King!)

ROGER CLYNE + THE PEACEMAKERS: “iAmericano!” (The greatest band in the world that nobody has ever heard of, bar none!! Think an alt-country/powerpop/rock + roll hybrid, with southwestern Mexican spice + a dash of Bab Marley reggae and Springsteen swagger + storytelling!! Just brilliant, sad, and uplifting, Roger is a genius, and even Per and Bruce would sing Roger’s praises!!)

GEORGE USHER GROUP: “Fire Garden” (Think Matthew Sweet meets Pet Sounds and the Zombies, catchy, poetic, timeless and literate, baroque powerpop, amazing!!)

LEANN RIMES: “Greatest Hits” (a total guilty pleasure, but she’s a great singer, and besides some good pop country tunes (not cookie-cutter BTW), she has some killer Europop-type tunes like “Life Goes On”, one of the finest pop tunes of the past 10 years, like a parallel universe version of Robyn’s “Show Me Love”.)

SOUNDTRACK: “Ultimate Dirty Dancing” (another guilty pleasure, but the tunes are a mixture of classic 50s/60s pop with surprisingly solid 80s radio pop!! “(I’ve Had) The Time Of My Life” by Bill Medley + Jennifer Warnes is so pure and uplifting that it bypasses schmaltz and corniness, plus on this new CD, it has the 12” version of that song, AND all the songs from the movie, sequenced in the order they appear in the movie, 26 tracks!! Remastered and sounding swell, it’s great!!)

2 Roxtexanet

Texas,
I have not heard the new album, but I liked their “Hush” album very much. Many good tunes, and all songs were very good. I also like the way they add some Motown sound in there. “Summer Son” was just Amazing. :)

IMO Pretty good group, Very Underrrated in US

A Copy Machin Noise!!!!

Graffiti - what is the problem

Perfect by A Simple Plan

Dunno if its already been said, but:

“Welcome back Stromkeeper and Powerpop Larry!”

Oh and the Dandy Warhols rock!

I’m under your magic spell
Drowning in you
Love Spins
Reaching High
Turn me on
From Head to toe
The Voice

the stills - logic will break your heart

I have been listening to Evanescence - My Immortal for the past 3 days and nothing else. It’s brought my stomach ulcer back. It’s brought pain back. But it’s an amazing song.

Damineh, I’m curious...how can you listen to the same song for 3 days straight?? Aren’t you sick of it yet?? And, saying it brought back stomach ulcers and pain, wouldn’t that be torture??

Again, just curious...the song is good, but I’ve heard much better, Evanescence is slightly overrated, IMO....that’s OK you love em more than me, LOL!!

Oh BTW Damineh, I have a musical suggestion for you. I suggest you check out Finnish band HIM immediately...I have a strong hunch you will really connect with them and their unique music...they call it “love metal”, and it’s actually not a bad term. I think you will connect with their lyrics, as they might make you cry, your hairs stand up on the back of your neck, etc, and their music is BEAUTIFUL, gorgeous, rapturous melodies, emotional singing, but mixed with edgy, melodic, heavy poppy rock tunes. Not unlike Evanescence, but better and with a guy singing...his name is Vidi Valo, I think...HIM are AWESOME!!!!

Yeah Him sounds pretty good
“Your Sweet 666” is a Good song. IMO Vocals sound very New-Wave in this one.

Yeah, that’s a great song, and they do a WICKED cover of Chris Isaak’s, er, “Wicked Game”, like you would not believe!! All 14 songs on the US edition of “Razorblade Romance” kick ass!!

I don’t like HIM. but the singer’s name is VILLE Valo, I think

HEY LET’S CELEBRATE! THE WHOLE WORLD’S JOINING IN!

The World According to Per Gessle has been wedged in various CD players off and on for the better part of a a week and a half. (It’s on as I type. . .)

But, hey, I want you to know, I’ll be alright.

I am waiting on the new Texas to arrive though. . . so it may be supplanted rather soon.

That’s if it doesn’t suck.

UM, new acquisitions:

NO DOUBT: “Boom Box” (INCREDIBLE 4-disc set!! The singles collection is disc 1, the DVD of their videos is disc 2, the CD of B-sides and rarities is disc 3, and the DVD “Live In The Tragic Kingdom” is disc 4, just perfect!!)

ROGER CLYNE & THE PEACEMAKERS: “iAmericano!” (UNBELIEVABLE!! One of my alltime fave bands, and their best album yet!! It’s sorta John Mellencamp-ish, but with more Americana/rootsrock/altcountry/powerpop in there, even some reggae!! Their music’s not as predictable though, and mixed with some Mexican/southwestern spice, lyrics of humour and wisdom, just awesome, and they’re even better live!! It also comes with an amazing DVD!! It’s going to be hard to top this one for best album of 2004!! Get this, in the new issue of Billboard, “iAmericano!” debuted at NUMBER ONE on the Internet Sales Chart!! And #19 Heatseekers!! Check em out, at www.azpeacemakers.com, or www.rogerclyne.net, I think Per would be a fan, cuz Roger has TUNES up his wazoo, just like Per does!!)

SIMPLY RED: “Home” (AWESOME “comeback” record!!)

HIM: “Razorblade Romance” (see above posts!!)

Him is crap... sorry I feel embrassed for them. I can´t believe they raped Enjoy The Silence (DM) and Wicked Game such way... :(((

im listerning to george micheal ’ The strangest thing’

Communication by the Cardigans - love this song

Boytronic “Strange Ways”, “Lovebeat” and their whole album “The Heart and the Machine” from 1992 :)

@MiracleMan: I’ve got the new Texas CD (new in Canada, anyway) and I love it... not a track on it I don’t like, and I think it’s much better than “The Hush.” Has your copy arrived yet? Did you order it from Canada? It’s a new release here (!).

Ladytron - Blue Jeans
now that’s what I call POP

SG, I hear Ladytron are cool, they’re like 80s synthpop, right??

Currently, listening to Liz Phair, Hot Hot Heat, Kylie Minogie’s new one (really cool, like 80s urban electro, when urban music met new wave on WBLS radio and they played cool bands like New Order, Human League, Depeche Mode, Gwen Guthrie, Grace Jones, Dead Or Alive, etc, awesome!!), Air, Emmylou Harris, OK Go, and new hits collections by Diana Ross + The Supremes (The #1s), and Donna Summer (The Journey)...

And no, I’m NOT GAY, LOL!!! It’s just good music!!

yeah, Ladytron play great synthpop. a bit like Kraftwerk or the Human League. I’ve been listening to them for over three years now and they never managed to bore me. they were also labeled electroclash, but they weren’t really happy with that. for me they’re basically great pop music :)

And now I’m listening to Franz Ferdinand’s “Van Tango”.

I shall seek out Ladytron stuff cheap, and I hear Franz Ferdinand are brilliant...you have great taste, SG!! ;-)

Thanks Larry. It’s my job to have a great taste ;) I work in the music department of a radio station. and I occasional write album reviews for an e-zine. So I guess i should know a little more than the average person ;)

Texas—Careful What You Wish For. . . S’okay.

No prob SG, tis true!! Ya know what?? I write for a website as well, and have done so in the past, soooo we are both critics...ummm, can I write for the e-zine you write for?? Let me know, K?? And, how can I get involved with the radio station you work for?? We’re in the same boat, both more informed in music than most people, don’t you LOVE that feeling?? I do, LOL!! ;-)

Email me...

Right now, Outkast, Air, Simply Red, Mylene Farmer, The Sounds, Fefe Dobson, OK Go, Scissor Sisters, NU, + Junior Senior...
