Delusions of... Everything

Sing-A-Long Saturday

The last 10 songs played from my ipod on "my faves" playlist set to shuffle.  Warning... It's eclectic!

In the Ghetto - Elvis Presley

Smile - Pearl Jam

Fallin' - Alicia Keyes

Hey Jude - The Beatles

Shinin' - Brad

Disarm - The Smashing Pumpkins

Even in the Quietest Moments - Supertramp

That's the Way - Led Zeppelin

For You - John Denver

Arc - Pearl Jam

From these 10 songs I'm featuring Brad.  They are a local band that's been around for years.  This week they announced they have a new album coming out sometime this year.  It's been many years since they put out a new album so I'm thrilled.  They also have a show coming up in April, but since we are saving every penny I won't be able to go, but I really wish I could! 

Most of the band members have other projects going on so they don't record or play as much as other bands.  One of those members is guitarist Stone Gossard who is also in a little band call Pearl Jam.  The lead singer, Shawn Smith has one of the most beautiful voices coming from a menacing physique.

They normally play in small clubs so it's always a treat to see them live.  I couldn't find a live performance video of Shinin' onYouTube , but I found a performance of another song called Screen.  It's not the best sound quality,  but at least you will be able to see Shawn Smith and a little of Stone.  From the Highline Ballroon in NYC, 10/16/07...

Here is what I found for Shinin'... Be sure to give it a listen, it's a pretty song!

Enjoy your Saturday!

Sing-A-Long Saturday

Dancing Daughter left yesterday to be a youth leader at church camp.  Since I'm missing her I thought I'd use this Sing-A-Long Saturday to highlight snippets of what we listened to on her ipod while in the car this week.  Some are parts of albums we listened to and some are individual songs.

• David Cook - David Cook
• David Cook - American Idol Performaces
• Taylor Swift - (I don't know the name of the album)
• Whitney Houston - I Want to Dance with Somebody
• Hairspray - Soundtrack
• Disturbia - Rhianna
• Jonas Brothers - Jonas Brothers
• Twilight - Soundrack  (Did you know that Robert Pattinson, who plays Edward, sings a song this album?  And it's actually pretty good?!)

Sing-A-Long Saturday

This week I wasn't in the mood for the ipod shuffle, so I listened to whole albums.  Here are the ones I listened to this week:

• Awake - Josh Groban
• David Cook - David Cook
• Yield - Pearl Jam
• Even in the Quietest Moments - Supertramp
• Twilight Soundtrack - Various Artists (I listened to this twice!)
• Josh Groban Closer - Josh Groban
• Live at the Showbox 12/5/03 - Pearl Jam
• Siamese Dream - Smashing Pumpkins
• Evil Urges - My Morning Jacket

Strangely I woke up this morning with a song stuck in my head that's not on any of these albums.  I must have heard it on the radio, or playing in Dancing Daughters room.  Who knows how a song gets stuck in your head!  The song was I Kissed a Girl by Katy Perry.
