I have not been a good blogger…taking far too long between entries.
Here are some music recommendations:
1. Bryan Ferry “You Can Dance”: Bryan Ferry is the King of Suave, for sure. If there’s someone creating mournful dance music better than Bryan, let me know. This is the lead single from his forthcoming album, “Olympia”, which has guest stars like my hero, David Gilmour.
2. Eels “Fresh Blood”: I’d never heard of the Eels before I heard this song. I haven’t yet found any other Eels song like this one—most of the rest are nice ballady type songs, but don’t have the same energy as this. I love the howls—reminds me of Warren Zevon or even John Fogerty.
Plus, the lead singer and songwriter, E, has a great beard. Pretty spooky looking guy. Video is pretty good.
3. Cee-Lo Green “No one’s going to love you”, a cover of Band of Horses. He does a great job on this song. I didn’t think he’d do well without his Gnarls Barkley partner, Danger Mouse, but he does. The video’s a bit NSFW…
4. Blonde Redhead, “Here Sometimes”. I’d heard of this band before, but never knowingly heard one of their songs. I came across this one, and it made me think of a much happier Portishead. Definitely a song worth listening to on headphones, because it has some intricate rhythm interplays.
5. Stereophonics, “Devil”. This is a rare straight-out hard rock song I don’t hear much anymore. Great tune. Definitely something you want to play when you’re driving down the road with the top down on a nice day.
