A Couple of Covers

Maria - Colbie Caillat (Blondie cover)

Umbrella - Scott Simons (Rihanna cover)

Somebody was in my orchard on the night chicago died.

Somebody's In My Orchard - Nancy Adams

I first heard this song in an animation I saw online:

The Night Chicago Died - Paper Lace

I don't know when I first heard this song, but I remember jamming to it a lot.

Green Cheerleaders Always Remember Me

Green - Bain Mattox

Argh!!! I could not find a video or even a soundcloud type player to put here. So here's a preview of the song, and click here if you have Spotify...

Cheerleader - St. Vincent

Someone put this in my Facebook feed the other day, and I loved it!

Always Remember Me - Ry Cuming featuring Sara Bareilles

My friend Casey posted this song on her blog (check it out!), and I have been listening to it almost everyday since then. Great chord progressions, and the strings... beautiful; and of course then there are the voices; I love when the woman chimes in and gives the song an extra dynamic. *groveling-vomit*

Movie Music: Babel

I have been waiting to make this post. I don't know why, so I'm posting it now. I love this movie. It's a masterpiece. If you haven't seen it, I most indubitably recommend it. Oh, and the soundtrack: jaw dropping. The quality of this music is so beyond par it's life threatening. All the atmospheric scenes in the movie are brought to epic proportions by the soundtrack. Ug, ok, I'll stop groveling and post the music.

September (FPM Beautiful Latin mix)/ The Joker (ATFC's Aces High remix) - Earth Wind And Fire vs. Fatboy Slim

Deportation/Iguazu - Gustavo Santaolalla

Cumbria Sobre El Rio - Celso Pina

Tazarine - Gustavo Santaolalla

Bibo No Aozora - Ryuichi Sakamoto

I'm an Artist Pusher: The Four Seasons

And I needed to post about this group who I never really appreciated. Actually, when I was young, I always thought when Frankie was singing high, (see Walk Like A Man and Big Girls Don't Cry) that it was a woman. Anyways, these were my favorite songs of the night:

Beggin

This is a very creepy sounding song, so I guess you know why I like it.

Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You

Oh my, when the actor was belting this song last night, he took the show to a higher place. Great job [insert actor's name here].

Working My Way Back To You

I'm an Artist Pusher: Sia

I just saw that Sia is featured on a Flo Rida song... WHAT?

Wild Ones - with Flo Rida

Sia usually has really great and quirky music videos to accompany her music, but I guess Flo Rida made this song too "poppy." But check out some of the videos of hers that I like:

Soon We'll Be Found

Buttons

You've Changed

and, of course:

Breathe Me

I first heard this song in Robert Roldan's solo on SYTYCD.
