We all have that "current set of fave songs/videos" that we listen to. Then get tired of them and move on to the next set. There is so much out there these days that you can get lost in the sea of music and perhaps miss a few really great songs.
From comments on here about local concert events, its apparent there is a wide range of tastes on here. I thought it might be fun to share some of each of our current favorites. Perhaps expand some horizons and discover something we wouldnt otherwise.
I suppose my tastes are rather vanilla compared to some, but run the gamut from pop and techno dance to classical opera, Gregorian Chants and electronica, Jazz and Blues, but appreciate the occasional song from all types of genres.
To keep it from getting out of hand and people posting huge lists that do nothing but deter the desire to dig through them, lets just keep it to 3 of our current favorites. Then as time goes by, share another 3.
Here is one I just recently discovered. I havent heard her on the radio yet, but cant imagine that it will be long until we do. This little girl rocks and this song makes me want to turn up the volume, and get up and move.
Janelle Monae: "Many Moons" Official Short Film (HD)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZyyORSHbaE This one is fun, thought about putting it up when Journey was in town. They play this one to death at the clubs, their mix is a little better than this one, but for those who havent heard it, its Journey mixed with Lady Ga Ga. The new beat mixed into the Journey classic is great. I think its funny when I go out and the younguns hear a great "new song" which I recognize is a remix of an old classic. Sometimes its a remix which itself was once a remix lol... Guess I am showing my age lol.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-miJGCA134This one floored me when I firs heard it. I discovered it through a DJ Tiesto remix. I loved the song with the musical accompaniment he had added so decided to hunt up the original. Wow, didnt realize it was acapella, and a girl singing it lol. I thought I had discovered a new song, but found out that everyone else had heard it ages ago. Oh well, here it is just in case you havent found it. For some reason parts of it reminds me of some hauntingly beautiful, ancient choral music, has some classic tonalities and chords (kind of like Enya). I can imagine the song and video being something you would see in a performance art venue, a video screen that was a "musical painting/work of art" hanging on a wall.
