I need a new song.

[LaraMN]

Pleeease suggest a song for me to download! I need something new to listen to- everything in my library feels stale. My only stipulations are:

1. no "new country" and
2. no gangsta rap.

Edited to add: I got three free song "coupons" for a music site, so I need to find THREE songs.

[Richardo]

1. "Star Bodies" by The New Pornographers.

You won't be sorry.

[LaraMN]

2. Thanks! I'll check that one out!

:bounce:

[Ptah]

You're Changing Like the Seasons.

Jo Serraperre.

[LaraMN]

8. What kind of music is that? n/t

[Ptah]

20. Blues. with a little swing. sorta

From a review:
""You're Changing Like the Season," the tale of a fickle lover, leavened by a coy lyric ("Last night you said you loved me/had you droppin' on your knees/Now the only thing that's droppin'/is your lovin' by degrees")"

[hfojvt]

3. what's in your library now, except not country?

Uncle Cracker?
Sugarloaf?
Poison?

[LaraMN]

6. None of those.

A mix of stuff. Alot of alternative. Some classic rock, some heavier stuff. I've got NIN and Patsy Cline, if that gives you any idea!:silly:

[hfojvt]

10. Do you have any

"Whipped Cream and other delights"?

"Tangerine" playing on my computer now. It's a little too mellow.

I was looking for band names that would get stale like "crackers" and "loaves"

[LaraMN]

11. I can do mellow-- I have alot of mellow, I just have to be in the right

mood.

Ah- I see the "freshness" reference. :P

[ET Awful]

4. Hmmm, don't know if he'd be on such a site, but look for

Chelsea Hotel by Dan Bern. Kind of a latter day folk-rock dude in the vein of Dylan.

[LaraMN]

9. That sounds interesting,

I'll look for it.

[ET Awful]

12. Dan Bern rules. I first heard him back in '98 or so, and was intrigued

and have followed his stuff ever since. He did wonderful songs like "Bush Must Be Defeated" too :P

He's got a Dylanesque sound with better enunciation and more up-to-date cultural references :)

[jpgray]

5. "Fit and Working Again" by the Fall

Cause when it's precipitating and bleak, there's nothing like Manchester punk. :P

[LaraMN]

7. And of course, it IS precipitating and bleak.

How'd you EVER guess?

[Richardo]

13. February + MN = precipitating and bleak

QED!

[EstimatedProphet]

[LaraMN]

18. It's that good, huh?

Thank you!

[cassandra uprising]

21. If you like melancholy music

you will not be disappointed. This record is like drinking Bourbon without the HO. I don't know what you're into but I'm all about this record.

[atomic-fly]

22. a free one...kind of mellow and somber...but nice

[LaraMN]

24. Thanks! When my kids stop screaming,

I'll give it a listen. :)

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

26. Some Older Dave Matthews Stuff

Like 'You Never Know' 'Where Are You Going' 'Everyday' or maybe 'Ants Marching'

[Spider Jerusalem]

27. Cocorosie - "Beautiful Boyz"

Great song.

Edited to provide audio link from BBC session: http://www.bbc.co.uk/collective/tracks/_NOIRSC_cocorosie_beautifulboyz_au.ram

[Strong Atheist]

28. "One that won't make me feel to bad, one that won't

make me feel too good"

Or, the Weird Al version:

"One that won't stick his bill in my mail, one that knows the duck stops here".

[ornotna]

29. Take this one

Here


Sara Thomsen-"Is it for Freedom"


I hope you enjoy it.

30. Post Toastee by Tommy Bolin

it was my anthem in 1980 and it was an older song then. I think it is classic.

[Monkey see Monkey Do]
