Every day is a new day and with that, a new opportunity.
EVERYONE is welcome and please join us each morning at 7:30 AM PACIFIC
to tell us what you're working on, share your show & tell, vent, whatever you want...
...this is an open thread. Nothing is off topic.
What are your five favorite songs right now?
I have music playing during all my waking hours. There are 1,578 songs or 4.5 days of music on my iPod. I also listen to Pandora where I've created my own listening station which is super wonderful and have discovered tons of new music there. XM radio plays in my car while driving. I've been known to pull over and write down a new song or use the voice recorder on my phone to create a reminder to buy a tune.
|
STERNLY WORDED EMAIL: You should embed only ONE video of your top song but just list links for the remaining four. Don't make our page too unmanageable for those with system issues.
|
This is not my top list of all time. This is currently what is playing in my head when I wake up so I queue them up several times a day.
My number one for at least a few more hours:
Bloodstream - Stateless
I think I might've inhaled you
I could feel you behind my eyes
You gotten into my bloodstream
I could feel you floating in me
It's from a vampire kissing scene, so that appeals to me. [shrugs...]
Now, for the other four.
• Unemployed In Summertime - Emiliana Torrini (Video is terrific)
(If you're the least bit melancholy, don't listen to the next two.)
• I Really Should've Gone Out Last Night - Dirty Three
• Long Way To Go With No Punch - Dirty Three
• So This Is Goodbye (Pink Ganter Remix) - William Fitzsimmons
