Sorry I missed last Thursday, and another apology for moving this iPod Check to Friday.
First up is Dannii Minogue. Who?!?! It's Kylie Minogue's sister. She has a lot of sounds going on in the club scene. I heard about her from one of my favorite internet radio sites XRM Radio.
I heard this song on the movie Real Genius. I fell in love with the song due to the fact that the movie parallels my life. Boy genius not accepted into normal society, must stop a egotistical professor from building the ultimate in laser warfare. Ahh, good times...
For those who hate country, leave now. It's not quite, but close to it. Alison Krauss is awesome. Her original style brings my home every time. If you ever wanted to swing over to country music for a bit, she is a great place to start. Are you surprised I like this crap? I like it all.
Recently in iPod Check Category
I've been noticing a lot of music posts. Being that I posted them, I should notice. Maybe I need to make another category just for the tunes.
Welcome to another session where the iPod is the decider. If you don't quite get it, search for iPod Check #1. Let's not delay any further. First, is Soft by Kings of Leon. I cannot make it past the day without a little KOL.
Jason Nevin pumped out I'm in Heaven and it hit the radio waves as fast as the dance clubs. Notice the sampling of Michael Jackson's Human Nature in the background.
Last is a classic by Bobby Darin called Mack the Knife. I eat this stuff like candy. While I listened to this, I put a fedora on the head and moved with a little more daddy-o involved.
Three up, three down. Another good session of I.C. Thanks for joining me, hoped you enjoyed the pure randomness.
Welcome to iPod Check. The post that lets me share what is in my iPod, with you. I just set me iPod to shuffle and post the first three that come up.
First up is a band by the name of Poets of the Fall. This is my favorite title "Carnival of Rust." This band claimed fame with the help of a video game called Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne. They are known to take written poems as lyrics for their music, and they don't do a bad job of it.
Next, is CSS (Cansei de Ser Sexy). A new wave/pop band out of Brazil, they hit the streets in 2003 and never stopped. Using the power of social media like MySpace and YouTube their popularity has grown as fast as the sites that made them famous. Enjoy "Let's Make Love and Listen to Death From Above."
I found Josh Ritter on MySpace about two years ago. Born in Moscow, Idaho in 1976 (WOW, he's my age.) this self taught folk artist released his first album in 1999. I love to listen to his Bob Dylan type songs and you will too. Here is a great example, "Girl In The War."
That went pretty well! I'd like to thank the iPod for picking some good tracks. I should use the shuffle feature for other uses. "OK, if the next song is ABBA, I'm going to get a pizza for dinner. If not, chicken wings!"
