I'm taking a break from the movie watching for a day. To talk about my second love...music.
I think everyone has those songs that they could put repeat and listen to 20 times and not even get tired of them. Songs that never ever get old, no matter how many times you hear them. And, for some reason, they seem to be all over the map. The songs never fit in one or two genres. You've got rap, rock, hip hop, country (ok that's a stretch), all over the place. For me, and probably me alone, sometimes those same songs are the ones that I think would make good music videos. But that's just me. Here are some of my favorite songs that I never get tired of hearing:
"I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)" - Hall and Oates I dare anyone to not get hooked by that synthesizer drum and bass hook. Don't forget John Oates' mellow guitar fills and Daryl Hall's smooth vocals. Dang.
"Warning" - Incubus Incubus may be one of the greatest bands from the last few decades. With Brandon's vocals and Mike's
tireless guitar playing. This song is no exception. Mike does this great thing during the verses of this song...and this is the guitar geek in me coming out so humor me. He has a delay pedal set to a fast delay speed then turns down his guitar and gradually fades it up after he strums, then fades it back down. It gives his guitar this wicked, ethereal tone. I never get tired of it.
"My Mathematical Mind" - Spoon This song is perfect for driving around in the car, cranking the volume, and singing at the top of your lungs. Distressed guitar meets smooth piano and a constant drum beat.
"Peculiar People" - Mute Math I really shouldn't have to explain this one.
So there's just some. Anyone have any to add? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
