You Like to Watch, Don’t You?

For your viewing entertainment, here are some videos of some of my current favourite performers and/or songs.

MANS ZELMERLOW “Hope and Glory”

It’s a pretty cheesy song compared to others on this Swedish singer’s CD MZW, but his performance has major WOW factor.  Do I smell international breakout?  Now he needs a website in English!

DAN BLACK “Symphonies”

Our resident UK music scientist with an equally imaginative video.

FLORENCE & THE MACHINE  “Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)”

The song has one of the most memorable choruses in recent memory, as well as great imagery, captured in fine fashion in the video.

EVAN TAUBENFELD “Boy Meets Girl”

Baltimore native Evan’s out to take over the pop music world, one fan at a time.  Songs with amusing lyrics like “Boy Meets Girl” will definitely help him get there!  Here’s a live clip.

MIKA  “We Are Golden”

The 2000’s version of the Tom Cruise underwear scene from “Risky Business”???  If not, it’s bright, colourful and fun!

Enjoy!

Soundcloud Music Drop Box

I now have a Soundcloud account, so if you have a song that you would like to send for review, please drop it in my box.  I can’t guarantee that I’ll blog about it or share it, but I will get back to you 🙂

What we’re gonna do here is go way back

To get this blog site underway, I’m copying files from my original site, which began in 1998 with my Best Of lists from 1997 and 1998.  Links of past lists will start showing up in that section of this website.  Enjoy and feel free to comment.  Any remarks that I made at the time have been left intact.
