What are you listening to these days? - Page 4

A little bit of everything lately. I have eclectic taste overall, but recently it's been a lot of dance/club hits- The Freemasons, Ben Hill, Madonna, Kaskade, Gaelle Addison, Samantha James. I'm probably going to be slipping into a nice Brazilian Lounge for the end of the summer into the fall- as I feel as if things are finally starting to mellow out from a hectic summer.
 

I went to see the Michael Buble concert in Ottawa last weekend. His latest CD "Crazy Love" is full of wonderful songs . He opened his concert with this song "Cry me a River" and .......well if your into big band, this was quite the show. I kindly asked him to stop singing directly to me but.....you know how it is ? (cough cough)

Just went to four nights of Phish (phish shows are always my vactions) in In and Wis, so ive been lisenting to that lately.

"The book of heavy metal" by Dream Evil... but NEVER the 1st song! I HATE it and always skip it whenever it comes up *lol*.

Hello There................forgive me for the delay.......I have had not been able to write as much but when I do have a chance I try to read your posts which keep me  very much informed about so many things. Ten Years Nicko.....wonderful. For all for you that have asked about me.....still very much alive and working hard.

 

I have been traveling, to much to go into detail about. Saw the most beautiful concert abroad and I just had to share this artist with you. Not just this song but all of her songs. If you enjoy jazz...........this is just awesome. Her Album, " My one and only thrill", just soothes the soul .

"If the stars were mine"

 

then of course........."Who will comfort me" , " My one and only thrill ".............

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdKrUiUcEqw   "Love me like a river does".

 

Your thought of............stay well my friends. ;) ()X  By the way the thread have been so enlightening, it truly is a great site.

 

 

 

 

A few tunes that I've been infatuated with lately are:

 

Quiet Dawn, Nostalgia 77

Optical Illusions, William Orbit (Billy Buttons Mix)

Stay the Same, Bonobo (feat. Andreya Triana)

 

I've mostly been listening while doing random chores at home to relax after work, so those three are pretty chill songs, but still lively IMO.

Okay, so for the past month or so I've been on this Dr. Horrible kick.  Been listening to the soundtrack from Dr. Horrible's Sing-along Blog quite a bit and singing it constantly at work.

Geez, I've been listening to everything lately. CCR, Kid Cudi, Elton John, and Pete Fountain to name a few.

Been listening to my parents, as always

 

But on more a serious note, anything by James Brown or Barry White are touching a chord with me.  INXS and U2 as well.

 

  Oh no, giving away my age here.......ha!  I've earned the years  - and every grey hair.

 

P.S. Hey petals, welcome back - it's great to hear from you in here! Long time no see, hope all is well.

    Petals & Coco, glad you're doing well and it's good to hear from you. Busy can be good, although sometimes tiring.   I wish you nothing too sweet and always just a little bit of bitterness,  ≥ 70% wishes to you

 

   be good!

well petals, for the love of jesus, welcome back! good good to hear from you...melody gardot is my absolute favorite female artist...both 'love me like a river does' and 'worrisome heart' always send me into a tailspin......i listen to both at max volume!......also, all things Bocelli...that man could sing the phone book and reduce me to a puddle....lots of other random music from npr, when i can get it...i like the putamayo series...world reggae, latin women, women of jazz, buena vista social club...all things blues and jazz..clapton,miles, of course, willie, mozart...all of it really with the exception of heavy metal..guess i just need a melody...hey all, while i got you here, check out the holiday party at the 'Rumble Bar' this month...

Recently I have discovered Joe Bonamassa and have become somewhat obsessed. I have not been this enthralled with a guitar player since I discovered SRV back in 1984! The boy is pretty amazing and almost a boy next door kind of guy.

Black Eye Peas, Nicki Minaj, Kid Cudi, Duffy, Adele, Robin Thicke, Ma Rainey, Damon Fowler, Gina Sicilia, Jace Everett, TrueBlood soundtrack.

Recently saw Jersey Boys, loved it so I brought out all my old Frankie Valle and Four Seasons music, great memories. Also listening to Christmas Music

know it's not music, but for those early morning drives in the dark to work, i've been listening to Louis L'amour's "The Daybreakers".....marshal's, gunfights, the wild frontier west....fun

  Stanley Clarke and Victor Wooten are coming to town...and I'm working!  I have got to get the day off.

National Public Radio's sunday show called "Wait,wait, don't tell me."   I just enjoy the humor.

Black Eyed used to be good back in the days. Remember the album Elephunk?

 

Me likes old school hip hop and reggae music. They are just so smooth and chill. Another one is some rock music (like RHCP), for some reason it brings summertime memories. But when eating it's better to be silent environment!

Journey, Chicago, Roy Orbison, Soundgarden

Roy Orbison.........Mom and I were listening to him tonight, she saw him live years ago. My favorite will always be "In Dreams".

 

Things have been so busy  but glad to see that I have one buddy that enjoys Melody Gardot as much as I do.

petals, its sooo great to see you post again..i for one, missed you...i always enjoy both your presence and input...please tell us where you have traveled to this time...the caribbean?...the cayman islands?. the bahamas of course...europe is such a bitch this time of year..way too cold !!! jonny lang, stevie ray vaughan, mike stern,acoustic jackson browne, and the very very bad boy dave matthews!.... always somewhere in the mix is miles, bocelli and melody....and u2..god, bono just transports me!

When I am baking I love listening to early 90s music, but when I am only cooking I listen to classical music.

my inner hoss!..nah, just kidding...for me a pretty mixed bag lately...

calexico, gomez, grant geissman, van morrison, kurt elling, joe bonomassa, old cowboy junkies, kyle eastwood, mambo sinuendo(ry cooder), string cheese incident, allison krause,....must be the incessant wind lately!

Joey,

 

U2 was suppose to play last year  here in Montreal but the show got cancelled because he hurt his back while on tour but we were able to get the tickets revalidated (right word ?) so the concert is back on this summer.

 

Governor's Harbour has not changed much. But I can tell you that 80% of the produce comes in from Miami.  There is a corner store  who charges $ 10.00 a pound for tomatoes. You can just imagine what he charges for the rest of his merchandise. What is worse , vacationers who come to rent homes for a month or so don't know the going rates or rather the availability of fresh produce on the Island . Having money or not, its good to know what your getting into when your feeding your family , guests, employees and the rest.

Before leaving for the island I always make sure that the caretaker of the property has kept the garden growing : ie tomatoes, lettuce, beans, .....certain vegetables are hard to grow there.  

The economy has been hit hard , many places are feeling the effects. ....oh  Emerald Bay ....

 

Stay well Joey !

 

Dan , Love the Pic.

 

 

 

sistah petals!

promise  me to go on youtube or itunes for kurt elling.. you will love this guy...right up your alley, girlfriend, i promise...i am p.ming you manana as i have a day off..lots to talk about....ooh, emerald bay, come soon mon!.....

bonne nuit mon ami,

joey

He comes across as a great jazz entertainer, i would love to see him live, maybe he will play at the Montreal jazz festival this year.....would be nice.

joey, thank you for thinking of me
Mon coeur est plein de joie......
petals....merci.

The Bottle Rockets, Kentucky Headhunters, Uncle Tupelo, Bruce Hornsby, Sass Jordan.

We Bought the new dvd , Joe Bonamassa Live from the Royal Albert Hall. Some of the songs are just terrific, what a guitar player. I didn't know he opened up for B.B king at just 13 years of age.

 

Great spin on Blues. Great spin on Blues.

 

I love Scottish and Irish folk music.  We also visit Cornwall at least twice a year - one of my favourite folk bands is a group of men from Port Isaac, called Fisherman's Friend (that's a local joke as that is the same name as a UK throat lozenge, exceptionally strong in flavour!)  They specialise in sea shanties and other local folk songs, and also write their own, modern music.   Here's a link to one of their songs, recorded on the harbour at Port Isaac    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TW5IdBWmWGc
