Lupe spitting fire while single-handedly resuscitating hip hop, now if only other muslims took a page out of his book the world would be a safer place. :cool:
 
I'm listening to Waiting In Vain ~ Bob Marley and the Wailers.

I love Norah Jones and I listen to her albums at least once a week or two whenever I get the urge. I like that style of music.
 
I am COMPLETELY loving this song at the moment. It's by Apocalyptica (which is an awesome cello group) with Ville Valo from HIM (Ville's voice makes my toes tingle:o) and Lauri Ylonen from The Rasmus. It's beautiful.

It's called 'Bittersweet'

This thread is great. There is so much music out there that we would love if only we knew it existed. By sharing our music, we help curb this problem and as a result we enlighten each other by broadening one another's exposure to music
 
I was humming this today.... I know all the songs from this stage musical having seen it years ago. It's called "Time The Musical."


Freddy Mercury
Dave Clark and John Christie)
Freddy Mercury vocals

Time


Time waits for nobody, time waits for nobody
We all must plan our hopes together
Or we'll have no more future at all
Time waits for nobody

We might as well be deaf and dumb and blind
I know that sounds unkind
But it seems to me we've not listened to
Or spoken about it at all
The fact that time is running out for us all

Time waits for nobody, time waits for no-one
We've got to build this world together
Or we'll have no more future at all
Because time, it waits for nobody

You don't need me to tell you what's gone wrong (gone wrong gone wrong)
You know what's going on
But it seems to me we've not cared enough
Or confided in each other at all (confided in each other at all) It seems that
we've all got our backs against the wall

(Time) Time waits for nobody
(Time) Waits for no-one
We've got to trust in one another
Or there'll be no more future at all

(Time) Yeah, time waits for nobody
No no, time don't wait for no-one
Let's learn to be friends with one another
Or there'll be no more future at all

Time (time) time (time) waits for nobody, waits for nobody
Time time time time waits for nobody at all
Time waits for nobody, yeah
Time don't wait, waits for no-one

Let us free this world for ever and build a brand new future for us all
Time waits for nobody nobody nobody, for no-one
 
I'm listening to my mum's cousin's record (from 1976 or 77). It's produced by Alan Parsons. Can you guess the name of the record? :eek:
 
^ It's funny the tangents this forum sends you off on. I've just spent a good half hour researching Alan Parsons, who I knew nothing about, but I still don't know what you mean! :D

I'm listening to all my Rocky Horror soundtracks because I'm going to see it on Saturday night. Apparently Iota does a great Frankenfurter in this production.

I like the Roxy cast soundtrack the best. It's the most kitschy and retro, as it should be, but the original London cast recording is really good too. It has a particularly edgy Sweet Transvestite on it. Nobody does Frankie quite like Tim Curry!
 
Well I'm still on an Apocalyptica kick and am loving this song.

Apocalyptica featuring Corey Taylor from Slipknot - I'm not Jesus

[youtubevid]OrlvOYUay_4[/youtubevid]


Dirty little secret
Dirty little lies
Say your prayers
And comb your hair
Save your soul tonight...

Drift among the faithful
Bury your desires
Aberrations fill your head
You need a place to hide
and I am-

Do you remember me?
The kid I used to be?
Do you remember me?

When your world comes crashing down - I want to relive
I'm not Jesus - Jesus wasn't there
You confess it all away, but its only shit to me
I'm not Jesus I will not forgive


I thought you were a good man
I thought you talked to god
You hippocratic, messianic, child abusing, turn satanic

Do you remember me?
Do you remember me?
The kid I used to be?
Do you remember?

DO YOU REMEMBER?

When your whole world comes undone
Let me be the one to say
I'm not Jesus, you can't run away
And the innocence you spoiled
Found a way to live

I'm not Jesus I will not forgive

(I will not forgive
I want whatever you wanted
I will not forgive
I won't be whatever you wanted)

Do you remember me?
The kid I used to be?
Not the same as I used to be
DO YOU REMEMBER ME?


When your world comes crashing down I want to be there
I'm not Jesus - Jesus wasn't there
You confess it all away but its only shit to me


I'm not Jesus I will not..
I'm not Jesus I will not forgive
Ohh I will not forgive
No I will not forgive...
 
Would that be the Alan Parson's Project?

I'm listening to Santogold, LES Artiste. Or Les Artiste.

Heard it on the way to work and couldn't get it out of my head, in a good way. :)
 
ha ha, Alias, the album has a song called "On the Border" on it.

Patti Smith I've heard good things about, but never really heard her music, apart from her singing on "E-bow the letter" off REMs "New Adventures in Hi-Fi" album.
Not to be confused with "Patty Smyth", of course.

Currently listening to "Where did I go wrong" - UB40

:cool:
 
Year Of The Cat ~ Al Stewart!

Patti is amazing. Her versions of Hey Joe and Gloria are better than the originals in my opinion. I saw her live a few years ago with Bob Dylan. She blew Dylan off the stage, and you know how I feel about Bob! She released a really good compilation a few years ago called Land if you want to have a listen. It's a good intro to her music, both recorded and live. :)

I checked out Gabriella Cilmi's song, Sweet About Me, thanks to a newspaper article about her. She's hot. Kind of reminiscent of Chantelle Barry, who was the only good thing about Popstars.

The song makes my electronica/alternative sensibilities cringe somewhat, but it is catchy. I don't like Cilmi's voice though. It is a throaty yowl sung in a style that would be much better suited to a hefty, dark-skinned diva.

Browsing YouTube, I discovered her song already adorned a commercial, indicating that Gabriella Cilmi is more a commercial enterprise than artistic. But she looks good, and that's all that matters to me.

She's pretty awesome..... I like her music and her looks.
 
I recommend my favourite album these past 3 or 4 years...

"Shine" by Daniel Lanois. It's just so superb and features a couple of cameos by Bono and (that famous lady US country singer whose name escapes me - Emmy Lou Harris - that's it!)

Unfortunately I saw him in concert a couple years back and though good was a tad disappointing, and while I bought his new instrumental album "Belladonna" at the show, that wasn't as good either. The best part about the show was the Kiwi girl playing the same style of folksy bluesy music who was the support act.
 
Got to do some driving by myself today, and was delighted to find Houses of the Holy in the CD player. I blasted it.
