I'm just doing what I'm told

"All of us has one....You know one of those songs that it just doesn't matter how many times you hear it, it just never ever gets old."

If you had asked this a couple weeks ago I would have put some OMD and CCR on here but since we've been there and done that I'll throw this down. Both of these are from my two favorite groups of all time. Back when music was everything to me. I saved up $600 dollars as an freshman in High School to buy a Sony 6 disc stereo and then plunked down another $200 for more speakers for my room and that was hella mad money back in the day for a poor white kid with 7 brothers and sisters. Heck, I woulda passed on just about anything to just sit in my room and listen to music. And had these two bad boys on Shuffle/Repeat. I actually wanted to put something from "Crackers International", an Erasure EP, but I couldn't find anything on the net from that album so you have to settle for my second..

Y'all know my mixed feelings about Depeche Mode but when I was 15 my loyalty was unwavering. And I still think "Speak & Spell", "A Broken Frame" and "Construction Time Again" are three of the greatest albums of all time.

Actually I have several. I love music. Gingie told me that I had to post my two top picks only though.... So natually I'm gonna post 3... (when have you ever known me to be obedient?)


The first I love because it's just freaking beautiful.

End of story.







This one's well over 20 years old.... I STILL cannot keep my feet still when I hear it. I remember doing a dance routine to it in dance class... I don't mind telling you -I was pretty hot stuff...








This is one of my all time favorites. I think I have heard it 20 million times. At least. You just don't mess with DM.

This is how I'm feeling today.....Ben Harper

Ladies and Gentlemen, for your listening pleasure, the bluesy folk croonings of Mr. Ben Harper.



I'm not all musical knowledge like cdahle and I don't have a bunch of clever coming of age stories like Chops, but I know how music makes me feel and that's why I love it. I hope that will be enough. Sometimes when you feel like no one could ever feel the way you are feeling at a particular moment a song will hit you and remind you that you are not alone. It can give you the hope to endure and the strength to suffer silently.


It can empower you to Walk Away.

Why do some of them just stay with you?

All of us has one....You know one of those songs that it just doesn't matter how many times you hear it, it just never ever gets old. I actually have two, and lucky for you I am going to post them both for you. The first takes me back to High School. I was never one who related well to girls. Most of my friends were guys, that's just how it was. Nothing dirty just pure friendship. This song reminds me of two of them. Dean Branch and David Lockett....this one is for you.



1992 people...seriously...you got old. But not the song...Still just as good as the first time. Even live.


And my number 2 pick... In my humble opinion, one of the funniest videos EVER! And Amber and C can attest to the fact that I love me some Foo!!

Foo Fighters - New Music - More Music Videos

Alright....these are two songs that can never be played out...according to Ginger.

Don't you think the rest of my fellow bloggers should post there picks? Me too.

Some times life does things to you that will hurt you and confuse you......

My friend Quelly passed this onto me today. Uuugghh. I'm in love with this song. The more I listen, the more I love it. I wish I could have found the song without the movie clip because it taints your view of the song and how you personally interpret the lyrics.....but it's all I could find that wasn't a live version. Dang good stuff right here. Thanks Raquel.

Back Where You Belong - Sinead O'Connor

This one's for Chopsie.... His SECOND favorite band

Not just pretty faces...These guys have serious talent.

I'm talkin' mad skillz.





Ohhhh Yeah..... you know what's up, dawg.



Super Sonic Cinematic Spectaular....






I think Brandon just might be in trouble when it come to my heart.... these guys are soooooo awesome. And totally cute.




And have you seen the Bonus Jonas?????? Dude......

Song Around the World - Stand By Me

A friend passed this little diddly on to me this morning and it touched me. Thought I'd share it. I love soul. I love passion. Dang this is good stuff.
