Music is Love 2
I know what will make a blah day better - sharing the love of music! Another electic mix of what's been rotating on my iTunes for the past couple of days.
Some Sunday Music
1. Sway - Michael Buble [Buy]
Sometimes a girl's just gotta dance. And I swear, there's something about this boy's voice that just does good things for me. It's fun, it's flirty, it echoes back to the love of the Rat Pack days and it was featured in the movie The Wedding Date if that rings a bell for anyone going 'where have I heard this before...' I love him, have loved him since he was just a late night infomercial and have many of his that go through my rotation.
Fav line: Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore, hold me close, sway me more...
2. Por Una Cabeza - The Tango Project [Buy]
More on the lovely little dance fixation from previous, this is probably the most recognizable tango to those of us who don't actually dance. Performed originally by Carlos Gardel, The Tango Project created a completely instrumental version that has been featured in the hot and sexy dances scene of films such as True Lies and Scent of a Woman. Makes me want to dance, honestly.
3. Me And Bobby McGee - Janis Joplin [Buy]
Really, what can you say about Janis Joplin? Distinctive sound, distinctive message, I love her to death. This is probably the best known of her songs, even if most people refer to it by it's most famous line rather than the actual title of the song. Infinately sing-a-longable, and I was recently reminded of it when the audience broke into it as a sing-a-long during an intermission at the Maryland Shakespeare Festival. Good times.
Fav line: Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose. Nothin ain't worth nothin' but it's free.
4. Electrical Storm (William Orbit Mix) - U2 [Buy]
If anyone doesn't know of my VAST adoration of U2, well, now you do. This was a remix of Electrical Storm written for the 'Best of U2' compilation albums being released circa 2002. And while some people weren't a fan, I'm a big fan of the remix. It's sensual, and I love Bono's voice in all of it's delightfully imperfect glory. U2 is love to me, in any way shape or form, and, yeah, that's all that I can say about that *lol*
Fav line: You're kept awake dreaming someone else's dream...
5. Jesse's Girl - Rick Springfield [Buy]
This? This is just 80stastic. Rick Springfield is a guilty pleasure - not least because he just came back to General Hospital for a while, and GH is love. It's fun, it's fluff, and it's fun to sing at the top of your lungs while driving down the road... or cleaning the bathroom dancing to your iPod. Pure love.
Fav line: Y'know I feel so dirty when they start talking cute, I wanna tell her that I love her but the point is probably moot...

Of course, as soon as I downloaded it I cranked it up, and my husband started in on his best 80s rocker impression in the den, complete with air guitar, hee.
