CD players? Right.

The music currently on my computer includes just about everything from heavy metal to jazz to Dave Matthews. My current favorites, however, include Revis, and the soundtracks to Pirates of the Caribbean, The Last Samurai, and Tears of the Sun.

[Haze]

errr don't own that many cds, but faves are:

Joshua Kadison - Vanishing America

This is superceeding Painted Desert Serenade (the one with "Jessie" on it) at the moment in my faves list, as it has the songs "I believe in you" and "song for a grounded angel". Great to go to sleep to after a rough day.


The Rembrandts - Lost Together

Nothing like "I'll be there for you" (none of the rest of their stuff is anything like that), somewhere between rock-pop and a bit countryish in places. Fave song on here is "you are the one"

"I had to let you know, before I let you go, something I must say, before you walk away...", etc.

Ahhhhh...

Also another song on the album called "The Way She Smiles".


The Lighthouse Family - Whatever Gets You Through The Day

Bought this in a time of very severe stress and scaredness, based soley on the title and track listing. And it really can get you through the day, much happier than a lot of their stuff.

Fave tracks "Happy" ("Who says you can't be happy all the time, I know but I'm still gonna try..."), "It's a Beautiful Day" and "Whatever Gets You Through The Day".


Noticing a theme? Well, I never realised how much of an effect music could have on your mood before a year or so ago. I'm afraid I wouldn't touch some of the stuff that's been listed with a barge pole these days, it falls into my category of "everything's crap and we're all gonna die". Not great when you need motivating.


The Original Muppet Show Cast Album (copied from LP)

Needs no explanation.


Catch 22 - Alone In a Crowd

Has a great punk/rock version of "The Sloop John B".


Catch 22 - Washed Up And Through the Ringer

A bit more mellow than the last one, has interesting punk/ska versions of "One Love" ("One love, one life, lets get together and feel alright...") and "American Pie".


Ah, I could go on forever. All my cds are my faves, that's why I bought them, give or take one or two that were cheap.

Mind you I also have some dodgy folkish stuff that gets played occasionally, fave of those is from a Milwaukee-based Irish band called The StoneRing, they have a nice slow ambling song called

"A Toast to the Company". ("...let's drink and be merry, all grief to contain, for we may or might never all meet here again.")

But it was on Mp3.com, which is of course dead.


"Haze, talk endless about something random for hours and hours and hours..."
"Ok."



Addendum: I also find myself listening to Dixie Chicks "Traveling Soldier" a lot, which is not a terribly happy song.
