A playlist to share

I was listening to Patsy Cline and Charles Aznavour last night and I thought I might share the playlist with all of you; time for you young folks to listen to oldies that an old soul like me likes. (Well, I like my Amy Winehouse and Avril Lavigne too, but that’s another story.) Click here….

Teardrops on My Guitar

I heard this song only recently, and I found it so … sad. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMH8LB3c6GE] (This video comes with lyrics, so there.) So sad hor.

Whiskey Lullaby – Brad Paisley

A friend let me listen to this song yesternight, and I was so affected by it. It’s just so raw and morbid and … I can’t even find the right word for it. It’s so strange isn’t it. For a person like me, who doesn’t know romantic love, to feel emotive by a song like…

Hell and High Water

I was recently listening to Black Stone Cherry’s Hell and High Water and I thought it’s pretty cute: I know your hiding places and I know your every move cuz’ girl, I’ve been lonely too. And I seen a million faces been to a million places. But, girl, there ain’t no one quite like you….

Hey Hey You You I Don’t Like Your Girlfriend

So. Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne. IS GOING TO BE RELEASED IN 8 LANGUAGES. And this song is catchy! Watch the English video here: http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid416542555/bctid564610566 And here’s the Japanese version (gah I don’t like it ‘cos I generally dislike Japanese): [Youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGw4fgPV-fs] (Links courtesy of Hossan Leong’s blog)

I’m embarassed by my playlist

But I thought it’d be fun to share what I listen to while I attempted to write my forensics term paper (and worry about upcoming midterms and numerous other deadlines): 1. My Chemical Romance – Welcome to the Black Parade 2. The Drifters – Save the Last Dance for Me 3. Bon Jovi – You…

Rockstar – Nickelback

I was recently listening to this song and hmm thought it’s so cute and meaningful (?). I’m through with standing in line to clubs we’ll never get in It’s like the bottom of the ninth and I’m never gonna win This life hasn’t turned out quite the way I want it to be I want…

Awake

So, 3 years between the 2 albums (well, not counting the Polar Express soundtrack and concert tracks). I really like Closer, and Awake is just quite different. Groban penned a couple of songs in Awake, and I can’t say I love them. Although you can tell from the lyrics it’s usually something heartfelt and … layman….

The Girl Who Couldn’t Fly

This album was released one year ago but I only heard it recently. I must be on some British Isles phase, first Sandi Thom, now Kate Rusby. One thing about Kate Rusby is that… she doesn’t sound 31 at all. She sounds more like she’s 16 years old or something. So the songs sounds really fresh and…

Ahree Lee’s Me

Have you seen it yet? The artist who took a picture of herself everyday for 3 years- with the same expression, and made it into a video montage. Apparently each second in the film equates to about 1 week of pictures. Wow. Amazing. The consistency she has. I could never have done something like that….
