From jamiePenelope's Theme is...delightful? Hypnotic then... yes, sweet. I can Imagine this being in some silent movie or I'm picturing that scene in American Beauty where you follow the plastic bag in the wind and it comes alive. Never saw the movie and have no idea what it's about but will definitely check out the rest of the album. I often liked having albums with only or mostly instrumental playing when you just want a mood without the distraction of lyrics. Sometimes albums sung in a foreign language does the trick too. Pat Garett and Billy the Kid soundtrack is my favorite work from Dylan. Mix of instrumentals and songs with lyrics. I recommend it for camping and feeling reflectively rustic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrnmyqLb7wk&feature=relatedAnd finally Ha! A Clash fanboy. Excellent! Nothing better than being young and discovering fuck the man punk rock. I was in 8th grade when my friends and I stared listening to them. We didn't really know what we were mad at yet but we loved it anyway. :D If you or anyone else wants to hear about my run in with Joe I'm willing to embarrass myself in a PM only. :D

From MikaAgree on Dylan's soundtrack. I have a friend who can't resolve her feelings re Bob so we often discuss him. Now, normally I wouldn't go Violent Femmes but Jaime's Clash & angry-happpy young things reminded me of leaping up and down to this joyously. (One is lucky to be young in a period when mostly leaping up and down is still fine - or awkward white kid dancing - I'll add a short clip of that for fun. Cause frankly i can tell I'm headed for a crash - one of those flareups that takes me out of the game a short while - still it'll run it's course so all is well.) So please overlook the self-indulgence~ I'll behave in future. this WILL go down on your permanent record... Violent Femmes - Kiss Off (sorry i didn't use one of the great live vids but too tired to search for a quality one.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=05k90ts2biwNow for sweet kids awkwardly dancing - yes I miss the 90s and watch this movie when I'm sad sometimes. I wanted to run away from home and marry Lucas... (don't judge!) TheThe - This is the Day (from Empire Records) - if wondering I think that's the Gin Blossoms leading in. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjJv5oWvohE[/b]

From rabbitrabbitMika - Waterboys! Always loved fisherman's blues the best.... something about the voice makes it poignant rather than sweet to me: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VKouBHarIoJaime - Wow! I am majorly impressed with your Clash kiss! (Please pm us the story!!!) did you catch punk rockitude? (or maybe you already had it...) Soundtracks, I need to think more about this, but two I used to listen to regularly are the "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" soundtrack and especially the "Cold Mountain" soundtrack (Jack White and Allison Krauss are standouts) - this also got me interested in early American shape-note (sacred heart) singing -- this song makes icy chills go up my spine: "And am I born to die" www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIkPyUecsnI&feature=relatedAnd, totally different because it's delightful and Bollywood, the soundtrack to Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India which is the best (and only) movie about cricket I've ever seen. Also one of my top 3 bollywood films IMO. here's a let's train to fight the man song with bonus sexy shirtless Amir Khan... www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9dnRFyGQzg

From bridgeymahHere's a guy a few might remember from Australian Idol. He was a runner up but everyone thought he should have won by a country mile (sound familiar). Great talent. He's taking the low profile road these days but a few things surface on youtube. Matt Corby Here is the performance on Idol that just blew everyone away...he was 16!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mnxq9hn6lu4And something more recent... yep he grew up! and has turned into a very talented indie alternative troubadour. Definitely not mainstream AI fare! www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLokVRRm-wU&feature=relatedand for grins his interpretation of Amazing Grace (shades of Elvis) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sz8sKGxXl20&feature=related

From sugareeI like Matt Corby. Thanks bridgey. There was a 2 page article about Bobby Long in my Sunday paper. I had never heard of him. This part grabbed me because (sorry Adam - that's why I love your acoustic stuff the most) I like raw, simple unadorned music for the most part. He recorded the country-tinged folk album last year in several sessions with Grammy-winning producer Liam Watson, best known for his work with the White Stripes, in quite an unusual way these days. He did everything live.
"It's just honest," Long says days after his Housing Works show, over lunch at the Mercer Kitchen. "I really like raw recordings. I really despise the mechanical, digital sound in things. Not to say you can't record digitally and have a great, raw recording, because you can. It's just the way I like to do things.
"You know how when you paint, when you finish a painting, you want to put it in a frame and hang it on a wall?" he continues. "I would do that as quickly as possible. Just be done and say, 'Here it is' and not have anyone fiddle with it, not have anyone comment on it. I recorded on tape and said, 'This is the reel. Here it is.' "
'Dirty' mark of a computer
Long remembers previous recording sessions where a producer used the more modern process of recording an instrument and then fixing issues of tempo or incorrect notes with the computer. "Instantly I felt that there was a dirty handprint on the music," Long says. "I couldn't listen to it again."
Luckily, he feels more comfortable listening to "A Winter Tale" and hopes others will feel comfortable with it, too. "I want people to understand what I'm doing," he says. "Whether they like it or not is fine, but I want them to at least get it."I decided to look him up. I kind of like him, but the jury's still out for me. The GaGa fan, normally very critical music critic in my paper gave his new album an A-. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBdGoj5SScEwww.youtube.com/watch?v=rS2wQ6a_ttk

From AnimatedHIMHIM is a rock band from Finland, created by vocalist Ville Valo. Its original name is HIS INFERNAL MAJESTY. Which they later just abbreviated as HIM , when some people started thinking they were Satanists. They came up with a symbol they called heartagram. They probably freaked a lot of parents , what with one of their albums called Greatest Love Songs Vol.666. I know they alarmed my family back then. All of a sudden, Madonna became a saint to their eyes contrasted to Ville Valo. They have released seven albums since 1991 and I have each and everyone one of this. Of the seven five are multi platinum in Finland. Only one reached Gold in the USA. I do not think many know of their existence .They are hardly known outside of Finland and Germany. It is Ville Valo’s voice which haunts me. I like edgy. I like rock. Their cover of Wicked Game , showcases Ville Valo's wicked vocals. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WA2jBMk-Pkwww.youtube.com/watch?v=CQ9JdDAbKH0&feature=channelwww.youtube.com/watch?v=1V4AscLidWg&feature=related

From AnimatedGreat !... found someone who share the passion for HIM's kind of music... In one of his inteviews, Ville Valo said that he had a friend who was recovering from drug addiction and when asked why he did drugs, replied - he was killing loneliness. And I always thought that Ville Valo was talking about himself. And do you have The Sacrament ? The lyrics pierces right through your soul... His songs are probably what you would call dark and brooding ... yet cloaked with hope... www.youtube.com/watch?v=98slWr22fasLYRICS : THe Sacrament by HIM I hear you breathe so far from here I feel your touch so close and real And I know My church is not of silver and gold, It's glory lies beyond judgement of souls The commandments are of consolation and warmth You know our sacred dream won't fail The sanctuary tender and so frail The sacrament of love The sacrament of warmth is true The sacrament is you I hear you weep so far from here I taste your tears like you're next to me And I know My weak prayers are not enough to heal Oh the ancient wounds so deep and so dear The revelation is of hatred and fear You know our sacred dream won't fail The sanctuary tender and so frail The sacrament of love The sacrament of warmth is true The sacrament is you The sacrament is you The sacrament is you The sacrament is you The sacrament is you You know our sacred dream won't fail The sanctuary tender and so frail The sacrament of love The sacrament of warmth is true The sacrament is you You know our sacred dream won't fail The sanctuary tender and so frail The sacrament of love The sacrament of warmth is true The sacrament is you
