Music - What are you listening to?

[F8&Bthere]

Grand Van, doesn't Dodge make that model?

Great Big Sea, that reminds me... you can't truly call yourself a full fledged Canadian unless you've been from coast to coast (which I haven't yet, but it's one of my goals for the next 5 - 10 years), been "screeched in", kissed the cod, and got goosebumps while listening to any band doing a version of I'se The Bye

[Gem]

Hahaha, I remember singing I'se the bye in elementary school in music class.

Now: Asher Lane - New Days

[AcadieLibre]

Holy crap! I used to listen to Grand Van all the time! I did not realize that they were still performing.

I knew they had been dropped by their record label which was a bit of a surprise, so when I found out they were playing NXNE it was one show I would have went whether or not I was photographing it. They do put on quiet the extravagant stage shows, they are great live.

Fort Minor - Where'd You Go (Just some great suave R&B Rap)

Fort Minor - Slip Out The Back (Nice more Core Rap)

Greydon Square - Squared (One of the Best Hard Atheist Rappers, Link to one of his songs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pBtsIm2k5E )

NAS - If I Ruled the World (The Song when my youngest was a Baby I would walk around the house and sing this to him and just dance, I did it with many others but this was just the song that makes it all come back as it was still those days in a very fond Cool way)

I've been listening to Alela Diane - The Pirate's Gospel for the past few weeks.

Sort of folky sounding but WHAT an amazing voice.

Here's the title track. If you like it, you'll LOVE the album

casil says - Jeff Buckley's version of "Hallelujah" is probably my favorite version of that great song....

marko says - check out this verion by Antony - For me it trumps the Buckley and Lang version. The voice of God comes through this interesting looking and weird gesturing performer.

I'm not ashamed to say that I openly teared the first time I heard it....but I'm a freak for leonard cohen and powerful emotive lyrics.

In this video Cohen himself appears in the middle

I think Hallelujah by Rufus is the best of all the versions of that song and I like most of I have all the versions, I am a Antony fan, but the song Sister he duets with Boy George is stunning. Antony has an amazing hauntingly beautiful voice.

John Prine and Iris Dement - In Spite of Ourselves, my wife and I joke that this our song.

Les Nouveaux Heros - Liberté, Liberté


Cold War Kids - Sermons vs. The Gospel

[Marko]

Thanks for that A.L.
I'm not really a fan of music videos (call me a rebel but music is for the ears and watching a video spoils my interpretation), but.....
songs are just so simple to find on youtube.
Antony and the Johnsons -You Are My Sister (with boy george)
