What Are You Listening To?

The okie brothers come out with their eighth studio album. This is the first time for me to listen to a full album, and while I did like a few songs (I listen without prejudice), still more were on the downside. My fav of These Walls will never see the airwaves. The lead single of Thinkin' 'Bout Somethin' didn't do nothin' for me, and the video doesn't help. One thing stood out for me on this album. Although not evident on most of these scaled down live clips, these guys have Hollies sounding harmonies. I don't know these guys well enough to know who is who, but the dude on keyboards is the talent of this group

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Voice In The Chorus

Best Track - These Walls

These walls, too hard to climb
And that ladder is too hard to find
I don't want to be here anymore

These roads, too hard to walk
With the things you've been saying
I don't even want to talk
I don't want to wind up on the floor

I don't want to be here anymore

Fair amount of disbelief
These walls are killing me
I don't want to be here anymore

Speak your mind or speak your peace
I swear we're sinking deep
I don't want to wind up on the floor

I don't want to be here anymore

The sky is falling all over again
Just another dis-conclusion
Another disillusion
The sky is falling all over again
Am I losing my composure?
Way too much exposure to compromise
I can't take on these walls

You've been yelling up into the red
But you haven't heard a word I've said
I don't want to be here anymore

"Give it all I've got" can be bittersweet
You think everyone's beneath your feet
I don't want to wind up on the floor

I don't want to be here anymore

The sky is falling all over again
Just another dis-conclusion
Another disillusion
The sky is falling all over again
Am I losing my composure?
Way too much exposure to compromise
I can't take on these walls

They're too hard to climb
These walls
I can't take on these walls [x2]

Its ok that you didn't like it, its enough that you listened

These walls is one of my favourites on the album too, but i do like thinking bout something, and yes, Taylor is the most talented in the band. the Video is meant to be fun and a bit of a p*** take of themselves

Whew! I made it through. It was painful but I did it. Her fourth album. I though she had more than that. This is the first one in four years, and the first to gain the coveted Parental Advisory sticker. Screw you Micky Mouse. Assuming this will shoot to the top of the charts. Not my thing. I did find 3 songs that I liked, but stacked up against 15 others, that doesn't cut it for me. The 3 are ballad type numbers, and if she stuck with those, she'd gain a new fan. Of course she'd lose millions of them. Seriously, compare clips 2 and 15, and which one is the better song. First single is Not Myself Tonight, which the video is soft porn to me. Gotta sell it some way I guess. Follow up single will ne Woohoo.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Love & Glamour

Best Track - You Lost Me

Back in the days when i was a little girl
Back in the time when you told me i was acting wrong
I miss the days when you was holding my hands
And telling things i never had heard before
But now i've grown up and im makinh my own plans

Chorus:
I know it's hard to say we broke up
I know i'm sad by living without you
But it's the truth and it's all over
And it's so painfull say i lost you
You know without me you just can't breathe
Your was made to be giving to me
I know it's so hard to say but that's way
That you lost me

I was so sick of your protection
Oh i mean i couldnt breath
Cause you had all the control on me
My heart was hurt and with no direction
I know you love me but i just can't see it right
Baby you lost me, yes you lost me


Chorus:
I know it's hard to say we broke up
I know i'm sad by living without you
But it's the truth and it's all over
And it's so painfull say i lost you
You know without me you just can't breathe
Your was made to be giving to me
I know it's so hard to say but that's way
That you lost me

If i just had a chance to turn backin time
I wish you and me were happy and so fine
Cause baby you were the only thing i needed
But now you are just a love missed

i've been listening to this band called LOVE AND LOGIC, they're based from NYC and they are awesome!! they're sort of rock, pop but they have a cello, it's really unique-- their band members are from all over the world!! (i've been doing my homework), check them out they have stuff on itunes and videos on youtube. they've been on repeat all week! enjoy!

Hope this is in the right place. Sure sounds pop/dance to me. NYC band formed in 2000 with their third album. Another one of those that has made it big in Europe but not here in the states. Their debut album was the best selling album of 2004 in the U.K. This is the second attempt at a third album. The first one was scrapped after near completion when they weren't satisfied with it, and decided to start over. Nothing on here I liked. Takes me back to the disco daze. Fire With Fire is the debut single.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Something Like This

Best Track - Fire With Fire

You can see that you’re being surrounded every direction,
Love was just something you found to add to your collection,
It used to seem we were number one, but now it sounds so far away,
I had a dream we were running from some blazing arrows yesterday,

Chorus:
You said fight fire with fire, fire with fire, fire with fire
Through desire, desi- sire, desi-, through your desire

Now the city blocks out the sun that you know is rising,
You can show me the work that you’ve done, your fears have been disguising,
Is it just me or is everyone, hiding out between the lights,
Where will we be when we come undone? Just a simple meeting of the minds

Chorus:
Singing we’ll fight fire with fire, fire with fire, fire with fire
Through desire, desi- sire, desi-, through your desire
We’ll fight fire with fire, fire with fire, fire with fire
Your desire, desi- sire, desi-, through your desire

And while in your stars
There’s a million else burning brightly just like fire fight,

It’s cold and heaven surround you every direction,
Cause there’s someone behind every hand that you’ve made a connection
And now we’re free to be number one, morning isn’t far away,
I had a dream we were holding on, and tomorrow as we come today, we come today

Chorus:
And we’ll fight with fire, fire with fire, fire with fire
Through desire, desi- sire, desi-, through your desire
We’ll fight fire with fire, fire with fire, fire with fire
Your desire, desi- sire, desi-, through your desire

Colorado duo of Sean Foreman and Nathaniel Motte teamed up while attending college in 2004 and have made it to their third album. The last one made some waves on the dance charts both here and in the U.K. A lot of their music would be considered electronic and this could have gone there I suppose.They teamed up with Katy Perry for the hit Starstrukk on that last album and are hoping for another hit on this one with Kesha joining them for My First Kiss. Nothing here for me, but I'm sure it will be a smash.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Beaumont

Best Track - My First Kiss

My first kiss went a little like this
And twist
And twist

Well my first kiss went a little like this
And twist
And twist

I said no more teachers
And no more books
I got a kiss under the bleachers
Hoping that nobody looks
Lips like liquorish
Tongue like candy
Excuse me miss but can I get you out your panties?

In the back of the car
On the way to the bar
I got you on my list
[I got you on my list]
At the foot of the stairs
With my fingers in your hair
Baby, this is it

She won’t ever get enough
Once she gets a little touch
If I had it my way,
You know that I’d make her say
Ooooooh
Ooooooh

She won’t ever get enough
Once she gets a little touch
If I had it my way,
You know that I’d make her say
Ooooooh
Ooooooh

Well my first kiss went a little like this
I said no more sailors
And no more soldiers
With your name in a heart
Tattooed up on the shoulders
Your kiss is like whiskey
It gets me drunk
And I wake up in the morning with the taste of your tongue

In the back of the car
On the way to the bar
I got you on my list
[I got you on my list]
At the foot of the stairs
With my fingers in your hair
Baby, this is it

She won’t ever get enough
Once she gets a little touch
If I had it my way,
You know that I’d make her say
Ooooooh
Ooooooh

She won’t ever get enough
Once she gets a little touch
If I had it my way,
You know that I’d make her say
Ooooooh
Ooooooh

My first went a little like this
And twist
And twist

Well My first kiss went a little like this
And twist
And twist

She won’t ever get enough
Once she gets a little touch
If I had it my way
You know that I’d make her say
Ooooooh
Ooooooh

She won’t ever get enough
Once she gets a little touch
If I had it my way,
You know that I’d make her say
Oooooooh
Oooooooh
She won’t ever get enough
Once she gets a little touch
If I had it my way,
You know that I’d make her say

Aussie superstar with her 11th album. Typical dance/pop fare that does nothing for me. Lead single of All The Lovers and the accompanying video say it all. If you like that, I guess you'll like the album. No doubt it will be a smash. Get Outta My Way is the follow up single. I think that first single was my favorite till I saw the video.

[Tiggi]

Some reasonably sophisticated Synth-Pop from the mid-'80s.

Good tunes, and it hasn't dated too badly.

A bit of over-wrought production doesn't hurt once in a while...

[Tiggi]

... and talking of over-wrought production, they don't come much more plush than this.

Once again, this is probably a triumph of style over substance, since the FGTH musicians didn't really make an appearance on this release (reputedly recorded by Ian Dury's then-current band !!).

The real star of this show is Trevor Horn, the producer. Painstakingly put together to sound "awesome", this was one of the first hi-fi "demo" recordings I encountered. Makes Phil Spector sound minimalist...

Good album, but showing it's age a little.

[AliciaKat]

Lately, I've been listening to a really cool unsigned artist that I found on youtube and myspace. Her name is Tara St. Michel. I've also been listening to the group she's in called Adieu Amer. They're really good.

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



One of those cheap off the wall labels version of a best of, that I picked up somewhere along the way. Either a discount bin or a yard sale. Would be considered an EP nowadays with only 8 short songs, but no such thing back then. With 4 standout selections, can't complain. One of the few times where I like a remake better than the original, with Hank Williams I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry. Sorry Hank.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - The Mask

Best Track - Mama

Who's the one who tied your shoe when you were young
And knew just when to come and see what you had done?
Mama, oh Mama
And who's the one who patched your eye and told you not to cry
'cause he was too big for you to try?
Mama,Ma-a-ma
And who's the one you didn't need to plead
To give her time to the Little League?
It was Mama, oh, ma-a-a-ma-a-a
And who's the one who gave her shoulder
When you told her your first love was over she'd met someone older
Mama, Mama It was Mama,
My ma-a-a-ma-a-a Ma-a-ma, oh ma-a-ma
Who's the one who taught you obligation then dedication result graduation?
Mama, Mama
And who's the one who's shown the friends you've known
A home away from home when they were tired and all alone?
Mama, Mama
And who's the one who held a tear inside
When you introduced your future bride?
And who's the one who didn't mean to cry
As you walked down the aisle, the tears you saw her smile
Mama, oh, Mama
Ma-a-m-a-a, my Ma-a-ma-a It was Ma-a-m-a-a
