doesn't matter if it's old or new, obscure or mainstream, any genre

I just really want to know

What albums/ songs have you been playing?

Muscles - Diana Ross



And its cover/sample...

Diamonds - Lil'Kim & Kelly Price

Muscles is making me laugh right now, but I like it

Believe it or not, I pay 0 attention to the lyrics,,,,but the song itself is kinda bangin' and I know why its such a sample material I didn't get the chance to listen to it untill recently, its no wonder why alot of people are crazy about it.

Harlepolis said:

Yeah, this is the first time I've heard it, I like the music alot, but the lyrics are so silly. I don't mind that from Diana though

I've been listening to my Kelis playlist alot and wishing she had some new material. I've also been listening to Musique Noire's Good Hair. Now I'm about to throw on Innervisions.

Lagos Shake -- A Tony Allen Chop Up






Uproot - DJ Rupture





Minesweeper Suite - DJ Rupture





Black Sea - Fennesz

A lot of Stevie Wonder and some Brian Mcknight. Does my own music count? I had to listen to my own instrumentals for this friend of mine to see which one he can use.

R.E.M. almost constantly for about a month now after having left them alone for years.

When I was in Trinidad/Tobago the last 2 weeks I listened to Jamaican reggae 99% of the time. I still can hear it in my head .

you sure it's not soca....that's the music they play over their?

LondonStyle said:

I know . But it was not as I was staying with a rastaman and he was listening to reggae all the time. And the one time when soca was played when we were out eating he told me that it is soca they are playing .

Serious said:

Ok...so what did you like best Soca or Reggae ?

LondonStyle said:

I am not familiar enough with soca, but what I heard is not really my kind of music I guess. I didn't enjoy the reggae at all in the beginning and I couldn't believe how many songs artists can make just singing about praising smoking marijuana . But after some time I got used to it. It was somehow meditative after listening to it again and again and in the end I really enjoyed it to my surprise.

BTW it was funny to play a CD of my favourite songs to 2 rastamen who usually don't listen to that kind of music .

Serious said:

You'd be surprised it's common for tough ...hard ...jamacian men to be dancing with their ladies to ...guess what ....Celine Dion...yeah..they really like her stuff over there...strange but true...

I think am gonna ask him what he thinks about Celine Dion . He only wanted to take me dancing to a reggae night, so I doubt he likes her.

You know MJ wrote/produced this, right? That's him in the background, too.

Yep,,,,if I'm not mistaken, he also did Eaten Alive.

Another thing I just realized....



Andy Warhol is the one who did the album cover(where Muscles is rom)

I recently saw the movie The Sweet Hereafter, and in it there's a cover of the rock song "Courage" (originally by The Tragically Hip) performed by actress Sarah Polley.

The original is an upbeat guitar-driven romp -- energetic, albeit cynical. Polley turned the song into an absolutely hearbreaking lament. Her version is beautiful, but it's sooooo sad. It's amazing how re-orchestration and tempo can entirely transform a song. I've been listening to both a lot this week.
