Reminder
In two weeks I’ll be doing the year in review post. If there’s something from the last year you’d like reposted, let me know.

Sometimes I get too far ahead of myself. I’ve been working on the themes for the next two weeks and didn’t come up with one for this week. So here are a few cool songs I’ve been listening to lately.
Martin Colyer “Windmills Of Your Mind” (Noel Harrison)
Mr. Colyer runs a site at Southwestern Recorders where he posts his very interesting music. This is from his covers EP Poisonville. This song is great musically although the lyrics still make my head hurt.
Monica Green “25 Or 6 To 4” (Chicago)
This popped up recently on my iPod and it sounded real good to me. It’s a nice take on Chicago’s big “rocker.” I really don’t like reggae that much, even if I have been posting a lot more of it lately than I ever have before.
The Zig Zag People “Yummy Yummy Yummy” (Ohio Express)
I love the way these guys transform the cheesy original into an early 70s boogie tune. I guess it’s not that difficult if you’re an early 70s boogie band.
DJ Boosta “Fly Me To The Moon” (Johnny Mathis)
It’s still a pop song just like it ever was, but it sounds completely contemporary.
Handsome Hank And His Lonesome Boys “Black Hole Sun” (Soundgarden)
Ever wonder what it would sound like if Soundgarden was a western swing band in the 40s? Now you know.
Yummy x 3 is the Best Song ever written! You can do so much with it.
Have you heard the smoky version by Julie London?
Oh yes.. a special request for your review post. Brodrene Lovenstjerne doing Prince really, really does it for me.
Thanks!
Sorry Sue, that song was originally posted in July 08 and reposted in the yearly wrapup post in October 08. Anything from any other October 08 post or later is fair game.
How about “1999” by Dump. Love the song and need no excuse to play the original, plus I like any band that calls themselves Dump.
Thanks!!
