From MikaAnd why not some MCR?!! MCR's fandom is crazed and utterly dedicated - and generally young (20s/30s). One interesting thing I've never seen anyone discuss is that a chunk of that fanbase is interested in Adam. (those who don't see him as infringing on Gerard's turf - cause Gerard Way's been putting the 'T' in theatrical (in his own way) since 2001:) WARNING: If lyric allusions to school shootings/violence bother you, might wanna pass.

From bridgeymahI was reminded this week of an artist who has a truly beautiful voice and was a natural instinctive interpreter of songs. Sadly she has been dead for a number of years (she died at 33 in 1996) but the small body of work she released stands as testament to her extraordinary talent. Eva Cassidy Almost completely unknown outside of her home turf of Washington D.C. she gained posthumous acclaim when a British tourist purchased one of her CD's and talked a local radio station in Britain to play it. It became a bestseller and crossed over to also achieve US success. Hers is a fascinating and tragic story. She is perhaps best known for her interpretation of song Songbird (name of CD that garnered her acclaim). But she also did a beautiful sensitive version of Fields of Gold that reportedly bought Sting to tears when he heard it. Enjoy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFFo1pu4q7Q&feature=relatedwww.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGwDYBWEDSc&feature=relatedAnd a rare shaky live performance video of her singing Over the Rainbow that was played on Britains top of the pops and garnered the biggest response they had ever seen: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NL-9JlSCNOQ

From geezlouiseSome singers voices cause me to have to stop what I am doing. Some bring me to tears. Some feed my soul. Eva and Adam... and a few others do all of the above. One of the others is Dallas Green. He is a Canadian singer/songwriter and is in two bands. His softer, folk side..... City & Colour, www.youtube.com/watch?v=btjhdHX8pMoAnd his harder side, screamo band Alexisonfire (the screamo dude is George Pettit), www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPcds3jOhRQ

From iridiumThanks so much for posting about Eva Cassidy. In honor of both her and John Lennon, here is her version of "Imagine". Two great artists gone too soon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTVsp_q8mxE

From MikaMore from my Sunday a.m. playlist and hey Aztec Camera and Roddy Frame should not be forgotten! The first vid is their best known hit I think and dated though fun, but their last album, Frestonia, was my favorite - quiet and kind of sweetly quirky. The second vid is Roddy singing a song from Frestonia that I still love - 'On the Avenue.' Give it a chance, he's a bit shaky at the beginning. The studio version is lovely.

From MikaAnd - lest you think I've gone soft - my favorite Robbie Williams song by far. A great song and a fantastic video IMO. And of course theatrical Robbie does a lovely job but I love the girl and rabbit imagery too. (Jonas Akerlund directed) SEXED UP - ROBBIE WILLIAMS 'You say we're fatally flawed, well I'm easily bored, is that okay? Write me off your list, make this the last kiss..." www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4Yxd9gJr_c
